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.

Ah, ok, thanks
-
@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:

@dwburger lol! All a fun challenge. I have 10 instances running. 1 in production mode

Make more. :-)

@Mykle1 I’ve got 4 of them currently staring at me and I’ve only got 2 eyes. Seems like overkill to me. Actually, I’m testing the Ubuntu and MacMini MM2s that will, eventually, replace the two MM2s based on RPi.

Excellent! I’m a bit of a nut about MM. I install it anywhere I can, along with ubuntu. 99% are laptops that I have, get, find or buy for a song on craigslist. I just like doing that and writing simple modules. Glad you’re enjoying yourself too> :-)
