      Just updated to 0.2.6-p!

      I can't keep up, lol. I just rebuild it any time I think about it, lol.

      Any reason you have not set it to auto-update? I may have missed it in a previous post.

        I have mine set, but it doesn't seem to do it. 😞

          Oh. Do you have it setup as a restricted user?

            Yeah. It's still just a testing box anyhow. I'd rather it run as a restricted user if possible when I put it into production.

            I can just make the build process part of the start up scrip.

              I check in every morning and before shutting down at night and sometimes when I think about it during the day.

                based on @JaredBusch post https://mangolassi.it/topic/18767, restricted user mode breaks updates and probably breaks automatic updates too.

                  Yeah. I can live with that. Right now, it's just for me. If I were to build a production install, I'd go with a full setup like @JaredBusch 's.

                          Looks like this is a non-starter at work... Boss just renewed TeamViewer..... might set up a digital ocean or vultur instance for personal use... There seems to be a lot of vultur users on here but I've already got an account on DO, any significant pros / cons to either platform?

                            For basic things they are very similar. Exact pricing fluctuates occasionally.

                              Decently close. In our use we've found that Vultr lowers prices about a year faster than DO so overall tends to be a lot cheaper, and performance tends to be a little better so you get more for the same settings. For a long time Vultr has ISO support and DO did not, but I believe that they both do now. So the big deal with Vultr is just a solid history of always being the better value. But DO was always good. Linode has consistently been better than DO but not as good as Vultr for us. We have used all three for many years.

                                  There is no way to pop out session to have many open at once (easily). THis is a fail.

                                  I could not send a CAD when using the webpage on my iPad.

                                    Yeah, open a new webpage for each is the only thing right now. That's something I'm looking forward to having added. Once the basics are done, that should be pretty easy to add.

                                        Sadly it does not recognize multiple displays in Fedora Cinnamon. it simply shows it all as one large display.

                                          Is your desktop running as software rendering mode or video hardware accelerated?

                                            Hell if I know. never checked. All defualts, and I do not recall seeing a warning about high CPU from software rendering.
