      @blake_northrup Yikes. It looks like something went wrong with your Node installation. Thankfully, you’re not the first person to encounter this. There’s already a thread on this forum discussing it.

        @bhepler Thank you bhelper. I will check this out. In the meantime, I think I will retire this ancient computer, and use it as a display piece. :)

          What OS are you running on that laptop? I’ve gotten single core laptops to run MM under ubuntu.

          For what it’s worth:

            @mykle1 It’s actually on old mini PC. To give you an idea of how old it is, Windows XP was running on it previously.

              Well, if you’re willing to retire it then you might not mind wiping it clean and installing ubuntu on it, Then install MM. Just a thought.

              EDIT:

              In other words, JUST ubuntu as your os

                @mykle1 I will give that a try. It’s a very small computer, so would fit nicely in certain places. I appreciate your help, and I will take a look at your other post to see if I can give it one last shot.

                    @mykle1 Apparently this computer is so old, that Ubuntu 16 won’t install. Error: This kernel requires the following features not present on the CPU: pae cx8

                      @mykle1 I’m now installing Xubuntu 12.04. I’ll see how this goes, and let you know.

                        Well, ended up going with Ubuntu 10.10. It’s old as heck, but I’m going to use it as a dakboard. Thanks for the help guys.
