Hey Neil, you there? Ubuntu install went well. Then went out and grabbed FINSTALL. Well, I did that AFTER I went out and got curl (not moe or larry) and mc. But even then moron finstall does not get the SMP version, even when I downloaded and ran BFINSTALL. Is the SMPFINSTALL? Frustrated minds want to know.NeilBlanchard wrote:Hello,
I'm not "stuck" at 600PPD -- two days earlier, I was about 1,250PPD, and now I'm back up over 800PPD...Several of my machines are in other places, so they might not be running all the time. My home machines go through cycles, so they end up with some 0 point days.aristide1 wrote:Hey Neil, why are you stuck at 600 PPD?
I do need to get over to my brother's house to find out why his production stopped -- this could be possible on Sunday...

Ah, I'll try that, but why the hell if it knows I have 2 processors, and it does, didn't it simply ask me if I wanted SMP?peteamer wrote:"./ finstall smp"aristide1 wrote:But even then moron finstall does not get the SMP version,

Well I ran ./finstall smp, answered 2 questions no and then it was done.peteamer wrote:"./ finstall smp"aristide1 wrote:But even then moron finstall does not get the SMP version,

Ah, right off the bat 2 problems:peteamer wrote:What OS did you install and what front end, KDE/Gnome...
Install as a service is done afterwards, follow my earlier links.
Some instructions that may help installing FahMon.
There's no client.* anywhere.peteamer wrote:The file at /foldingathome/CPU1/client.cfg will tell you what personal info has been inputed. It may well be there from a previous install.
I've been using Terminal and MC.NeilBlanchard wrote:Hello,
Ubuntu uses Gnome, FWIW. And it does not have YAST -- that is SuSE, I believe. There is an easier function in Ubuntu: look in the Applications/Add-Remove dialog.
The 'sudo' command lets you use a terminal as root, and the password is the same as your user password. The root password is completely hidden in Ubuntu.
Not for me.NeilBlanchard wrote:Hello,
I'm just starting the SMP version manually each time I boot -- I have a Terminal shortcut on the desktop, and I have renamed the executable, so it is just quick lines:
That's it; easy and fast.Code: Select all
cd ~/F@H ./fah5
Wow, I had no idea. Like tar, if these tools do not install with the original CD that's fine, but when installing something like FAH there should be an assumptions list in front of the install procedure that lists the tools/apps required. I've downloaded a lot of apps/tools. I guess nobody thought that the entire Ubuntu install may be for FAH only. Guess again.bkh wrote:Hi, Aristide1.
I haven't been following your entire story, but did you remember to install the 32-bit compatibility libraries after you installed ubuntu? They are needed for the fah5 console front-end program, and if they are missing it could possibly cause the "I can't find any executable program named fah5" complaint that you are getting.
If that's it, the magic incantation to download and install is:
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
I can't recall if I read this, I can recall it didn't set off any warning flags for me. My mistake either way.The linux client is a 32-bit executable, as we are planning on using a single client binary for SMP and non-SMP. However, this means that 64-bit linux distros will need to have 32-bit ELF support enabled.
I'm a programmer, I take things literally. When something says untar I tend to look for an untar command. I don't uncompress files as there is no uncompress command. I extract them with the extract command, though I am at the point where if something isn't self extracting I wonder what was this guy thinking?. My Linux vocabulary has not been developed yet, so basics were stumbling blocks. But even so I think some were not necessary.For Linux: untar the files and then run the fah5 binary.
