Hi

After having issues with the backer of something I backed on Indiegogo
last year, to the extent where I have lost money it seems and not
received anything, I was a bit reluctant to just go and Crowd Fund
something again, unless it really did seem worth it and was reasonably
cheap. Nexdock (
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/nexdock-the-world-s-most-affordable-laptop--2#/
) seemed to be worth it since I have two Raspberry Pi's and two Remix
Mini's so yep no screen by default, plus it can be used to give other
devices an extra screen such as my Remix OS tablet, or my lap top, etc.
As a result after finding out about it and keeping an eye on it properly
for the last three weeks or so I have just crowd funded it since it
looks like it's going to get fully funded and the $119 ( ?86.41 ) perk I
wanted will nearly be sold out. I believe that some of you may also be
interested in Nexdock and the campaign is currently on 90% of it's
$300,000 goal with 14 days left hence my email.

Regards

Sebastian

Anyone else using Qt Creator ?

I'm on Mint 17.3, Qt 5.2.1, Creator 3.0.1., 64-bit.

I've installed Qt Creator Help, but the Help menu in Creator fails
because the
'home page' configured in Qt Creator is some web page which doesn't exist.
To solve it I guess I need to find an 'index.html' on my local HDD
provided by
Qt Creator Help, and change the configured 'home page' to this file, but
I can't
locate such a file. I can see 'usr/share/qtcreator/doc/qtcreator.qch',
but what
is that ?

I've googled this error message, and it seems to be a known problem, but
I haven't
seen any solution offered yet.

>locate index.html | grep creator only shows one file, which doesn't
seem to
be the right one.

Any other ideas ? TIA.

Andrew M.
