Re: [PLUG] PLEX, no support.

PLEX is a media mgmt/streaming app, meant for organizing and playing media collections. It also has "channels" which are applets you can install freely to watch specific content like various news channel segments or PBS or Comedy Central, as many platforms also have. The channel stuff is often

Re: [PLUG] Migrating Win 10 on new machine to VirtualBox

I entered settings, searched for "Is windows activated". The response was unable to reach activation servers (not connected). It also had an entry to change the product key, but no existing product key was shown. So I think I am still uncertain. I can connect and try again (tomorrow). On Thu,

Re: [PLUG] Migrating Win 10 on new machine to VirtualBox

I will search windows, but not being familiar with it I may have difficulty. BTW I managed to boot from a 16.04 flash drive--progress. On Thu, Aug 10, 2017 at 7:54 PM, Garrett Bigart wrote: > Before you install Ubuntu could you check in the settings to see whether it > says

Re: [PLUG] Migrating Win 10 on new machine to VirtualBox

Before you install Ubuntu could you check in the settings to see whether it says activated or not? I might need to do something depending on what that says. On Thu, Aug 10, 2017 at 7:48 PM, Denis Heidtmann wrote: > That helps. It is F12 on this system. But USB is

Re: [PLUG] Migrating Win 10 on new machine to VirtualBox

That helps. It is F12 on this system. But USB is not on the list, so I have to use a 14.04 CD that I have, rather than the 16.04 flash drive. But for starters, this will help me check the system. On Wed, Aug 9, 2017 at 10:00 PM, John Jason Jordan wrote: > On Wed, 9 Aug 2017

Re: [PLUG] Migrating Win 10 on new machine to VirtualBox

I meant that uefi is disabled because legacy boot in enabled, but I note that secure boot is also disables. I do not understand how these two interact, nor exactly what they mean for that matter. On Thu, Aug 10, 2017 at 2:33 PM, elcaseti . wrote: > When you said UEFI is

Is anybody else using StableHost for web hosting and email? I've been having some problems with email going through StableHost. I've been back and forth with them since Monday night. They finally found a solution for my email, but haven't found one for my wife's email. The techs that I've

Re: [PLUG] Migrating Win 10 on new machine to VirtualBox

I booted it, gave the machine a name, then said skip when it wanted to go on-line (no internet cable connected to it.) Then what I expect is the standard windows desktop was presented. I expect it will give me some time before it complains about not being activated. On Thu, Aug 10, 2017 at 4:58

Re: [PLUG] Migrating Win 10 on new machine to VirtualBox

I don't know if that actually means anything. Have you booted it yet, and if so, what does it say? On Thu, Aug 10, 2017 at 4:53 PM, Denis Heidtmann wrote: > This is encouraging. Thanks for the idea. > > The (only) instructions that came with the machine were on how

Re: [PLUG] Migrating Win 10 on new machine to VirtualBox

This is encouraging. Thanks for the idea. The (only) instructions that came with the machine were on how to register the windows 10. Also, the COA has a "silver" patch over a portion of the number, with instructions to gently scrape the silver off to expose the full number. This, to me,

Re: [PLUG] Migrating Win 10 on new machine to VirtualBox

Hey Denis, Windows 10 license keys become tied to hardware as soon as it's activated, so if it hasn't been activated, you should be fine with a Windows 10 ISO, your COA and VirtualBox. Now, I was under the impression that all prebuilt PCs came activated, so are you absolutely certain that it

[PLUG] Raspberry Pi 3 opencv...

Apparently, the stock opencv on my Raspberry Pi 3 does not include the nonfree.hpp library. Recommendation is to compile opencv from source on the Raspberry Pi. That seems to require a source compile of Qt5... Uge, that's a 24 hour or longer compile because the Raspberry Pi 3 is only a 1.2 Ghz

Re: [PLUG] Migrating Win 10 on new machine to VirtualBox

When you said UEFI is disabled as well, did you mean Secure Boot is disabled? Or do you mean UEFI is disabled, because legacy boot is enabled? On Aug 10, 2017 2:19 PM, "Bill Barry" wrote: On Wed, Aug 9, 2017 at 2:40 PM, Denis Heidtmann wrote: >

Anyone out there have experience in building a mirrored (RAID-1) boot drive using Mint 18 and/or Ubuntu? What I want to build is a system with a RAID-1 system disk and a RAID-1 data disk. If possible I'd like both to use LVM for space management. The documentation out there seems pretty

Re: [PLUG] Migrating Win 10 on new machine to VirtualBox

I did a M92 about 4 years ago, put Ubuntu on it for a church. They use it to control a very large screen, and to run audio and video. I did not have any issues with the install that I can remember, it has been a while since I did it so it is pretty hazy. Even set it up with Compiz so they could
