I don’t know if guest additions was installed or not. I have issues even with Linux desktops. Sometimes you can display slide or pdf, but you can’t show a terminal. I’ve had times where I’ve had to move the terminal to the right where it’s off of my screen leaving me to have to view what I’m doing from the wall screen.

Sudden thought Ron. You were running the Linux system in virtualbox on win10, did you have guest additions installed? That might give you video issues.

There's not much you can too do unless you carry your own projector (I do when I'm presenting some place I have never been just as a backup). We all have the same concerns when it comes to connecting video. One of the things that helps even if it is sub-optimal is to drop your screen resolution down to 1024x768. Every projector on the planet can handle that even though many places now have projectors that will do 720p (1280x720).
Also, carry your own cords that you know work. Not all HDMI cords are created equal just as not all video chips are. Most of the time its an order of operations specific to your system to get the secondary video connection up but you never know. You can practice this with an extra port of your home TV or external monitor.
With PLUG you can always test your set up before we start. Doesn't necessarily have to be the day of your presentation either. You could test at another meeting where you are not the presenter to take the pressure off. Assuming the presenter that day doesn't have the same concerns :D

I just want to plug in and present without the hassle of the idiosyncrasies at locations. But that may be part of how it is and there may not be any way around it no matter where I go. Maybe it's just something I have to get used to. It's almost always of display issue with me. By display I mean getting it from the monitor to the screen. Difficulty has no bearing on whether I take it to North or west. That is becoming a Time issue. Time is becoming a scarcity lately.

Ron,
You did fine. Talks with demo's have the most value and sometimes things go wrong. One of the benefits of having 3 PLUG meetings per month is that you get to perfect your talk. You were still able to show some things and I would encourage you to take this talk to North and West if you can. It was good material.
One thing that I do as well as some other PLUG'ers is use VPN's or resources on our own networks for demo material. That may be a help to you for any demo presentations as long as you have decent upstream internet.
BTW, I'm hoping to have your video posted this week, if not today. Its rendering now :D

I wanted to thank everyone again for helping save the talk with their quick actions. Adjusting to the media systems seems to be the hardest part for me. If I use plain slides or host them on an internet accessible site, then using them is pretty fail-safe. I lean more toward demonstrations rather than just talking with slides. Maybe I should move away from demos as to not run into these issues going forward. I'll sleep on it. Thanks again.
