BlendOS mirrors are down.
Images.blendos.co is down. This means "sudo system track" does not work and updates cant be applied. I would like this to be fixed because "system" is one of the core functionalities and I think this would harm the reputation of BlendOS,

It is
I don’t know why
It’s been down for ages
v4 mirror works tho
akshara fixed but the broken version is still in the ISO
So what now?
I can’t bring the mirrors back ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Why not?
And also could you put the updated version of akshara in the ISO if possible?
And the MEGA mirror does not work anymore.
We’re working on that
I deleted the v3 iso from my account
Make room for the v4 one
How is the progress on V4?
Seems pretty stable
It’s a v4 problem
v3 is fine
Ok
When will the beta version of V4 come out?
There’s a testing iso out
Already
Just needs an akshara update
Also a different method of system management
Where can I grab the ISO?

Thanks! Im gonna try it. Could you please close this forum/issue?
Uhh you can’t try it
Installs are broken due to the aforementioned bug
Oh
We need to build a new testing iso 😞
Or at least make an update script
I do have an update script you could run
Which should fix akshara
Run it before install
Could you give the script?
Maybe you can autorun the script upon boot of the iso to fix the issue.
At install open console
Type:
curl https://paste.asterisk.lol/raw/ejuyonutis | sudo bash
Click the URL to see the script
Keep the |
All one line
Its still downloading... Dont have good wifi.
😔
New default DE is gnome
Console is in app grid > utilities
The latest gnome btw
Epic
Yep, its sure is!
System and user are no longer present
Instead you need to learn how to use system.yaml
So a bit like NixOS?
It’s not that complex
I know. But its kind of similar.

Easy enough!
Edit, save and run sudo akshara update
Or click the update button in blendOS settings
It’s also how you update the OS
No more reliance on ISOs
For updates
How do translations actually work? Im Dutch and I would like to contribute for translations.
We don’t have them 🤣
i18n can introduce lost meaning
oh
@Thomas, you've gained the level
1And I write in English
A lot of people speak it
For the docs you can use Google translate
For the OS your DE supports other languages
I don’t think our settings app has other translations tho
You set language during install
Interesting.
gtranslate is quite simple and effective
Works with updates
?
For the docs and site
Ok
Google translate’s website translator
Ik
And i18n for our settings app would be an ordeal
So many languages to cover, so few people
Never ending battle
I think we should update it to use icons more
Valetudo’s translation approach is what we’re going for
Cars made in Germany have a UI in English for a reason
And Germans can still use those cars
And sold in Germany
Hm
That is to say, use the language the designers and programmers speak
Leave it at that
Ok
Or make it English
Regardless
It’s what all tech docs are written in
13 minutes remaning on the download...
So almost there!
Are VMs supported?
Yeah
You can run it in a vm
You could probably run vms on blendOS too
Ok, could you please close this forum/issue? Also, have a great day! 🙂
Solution
v4 is stable, so the image server has been depreceated.
