      Oh, I thought perhaps something in the tutorial was wrong. I did not know that MM changed in a way that caused the tutorial to fail. :-(

      Thanks, BTW, for creating the walkthrough. I’m thrilled to have MM2 running on my old Acer laptop!

      You’re welcome. When I wrote this I was thrilled as well and have since moved to strictly laptop boards, However, I moved from Windows to ubuntu and I’ve never been happier. MM loves linux (ubuntu) and runs beautifully under it, without jumping through any hoops for Windows. It also uses far less resources than Windows. Consider it. You won’t be sorry.

      And here it is.

        @Mykle1 I will definitely take a look at Ubuntu. I got here since 1 of my 2 MM2 running with RPi isn’t stable enough and I’ve run out of things to try. I also have an old MacMini that I’m going to try. Thanks for the encouragement!

          Dude, you’ll have so much fun doing it. I guarantee it! (Well, almost). But I did. And your MacMini? I’ve done Mac boards with ubuntu and MM, as well.

          Here. Take a look.

              Did you watch the video? Not bad for a useless, early gen, white iMac

                @Mykle1 Nope, missed the video the first time. Now seen. Amazing! Being a relatively new MM2 user, I didn’t know about hiding/showing pages or Hello-Lucy. Once I get my new MM2s up and running I’ll check into it.

                  @Mykle1 in 2.9 they introduced run-start.sh to fix the custom.css erasure problem. I extended it in 2.10.

                  But it won’t work on windows at all.

                  I didn’t know that til last week. I did test on the Linux runtime in Windows, but never on windows native.

                      @Mykle1 Yep, I had an old Toshiba NB205 laptop that I had converted to Ubuntu a couple years ago. I updated the OS and installed MM2 without a single hitch. Nice!

                        @sdetweil On a side note…I updated my old Toshiba NB 205 laptop to Ubuntu Mate and tried to manually install MM2. After a few unsuccessful attempts, I used your script on Github and it ran through the installation and started up the new MM2 successfully in one attempt. THANKS! Since I’m “staying at home” due to the virus, I’ve now gotten MM2 to run on a Windows 10 PC, Mac Mini and now Ubuntu Mate. And…in the process, I’ve learned a great deal! Now, all I have to figure out is what I’m going to do with all these MM2s! :slightly_smiling_face:
