I updated to Gutsy this evening. All of my WUs crashed. I did stop them before upgrading, and fah took it upon itself to start by itself too [I even removed the service!].

Luckily at least 2 of them had only just started new ones. I lost at least one near 100% and the last one wasn't far behind. :(

So a lesson - anyone wanting to upgrade should do so AFTER finishing all your WUs.
 
I lost a 50% complete WU (only one, thank god) on my Vista box today because I forgot to do a controlled shutdown. :/

And what's with everyong hammering Gutsy today anyway? No wonder all the mirrors are grinding to a halt. :)
 
I'm aware of this fact. I've already helped at least one person solve an install issue with it. Just wondering why everyone's so keen on getting an operating system on release day. :)

I'll also have a copy on my server in the morning, though in all honesty I'll probably just keep on using Edgy, or Feisty, or whichever version my VM images are currently using. :)
 
I'll be doing clean installs later today after backing up my fah folders.

I learned the hard way last time.

And grab the torrent if you can.

Well my first VM has installed and is folding fine.

The only issue I had was i had to select the NAT ethernet option instead of Bridged.

*edit*

Both VM's installed and running fine now with Samba shares configed.

Providing finished WU's upload ok and new ones download ok, everything should be fine.

Wooooooo

I just managed to install 7.10 server with a really reeeeeally crappy Gnome GUI (gnome-core or summit). About as basic as basic gets. And manually configuring the Samba file was fun. Not.

I'm going to stick with it unless someone knows how to run more than one client through the CL.

*edit*

It seems to have knocked a good 2 minutes off each frame :D

The upgrade to 7.10 or changing to Server Ed?

The instructions in my guide for adding multiple clients can all be done via the command line.

EDIT: My instructions say to use

Code: 
gedit FaH

or something along those lines.

In the CL you don't have Gedit. You do however get Nano. So, the above would be

Code: 
nano FaH

for example.

When you have finished modifying a file in Nano, press Ctrl+X then answer Y to save the changes.

Second option ;)

It wasn't really agro - first server install was perfect first time - I just updated it once and all hell broke lose :o
Swaped to the desktop version and even Uncle F took three goes to get it to work (didn't load gnome, troll or giant - but it's free so what do you expect :p)

Anyway I know more now that I ever have - but I'm not doing any Samba config's that WAY over my head - so if Xubuntu is not SMPguide friendly its not for me.
 
Well admittedly my guide is aimed at Gnome, so there might be one or two differences - most likely in regards to text editors. Gedit is the default text editor in Gnome. Dunno what Xfce uses. But I will assume it has Nano. So, whenever you see "gedit" in any code, replace it with Nano.

I think I might just replace gedit with nano in my guide so there is absolutely no confusion [and is as universal as possible].

Since you will be installing 7.10 - could you check everything else works with my guide? From looking about Gutsy myself nothing fundamental has changed that would affect my guide - as far as I can see - but better safe than sorry.

Given how popular Feisty and Gutsy have been, I may remove the separate Edgy/Feisty specific parts. I could always put them on another separate page for anyone who can't/wont run Gutsy.
 
Right I've now got both clients running from the CL in both VM's now thanks to your guide :)


And there's no difference between FF and GG for your guide.

The only things I came across was that 'finstall -smp' now includes V6 by default (well for the linuxSMP client anyway).

And when launching a client the -smp flag is listed twice, as in

Code: 
Arguments: -smp -smp -verbosity 9

So it may not be necessary to manually add the -smp flag to the FaH file. That'll need to be tested by some brave soul.

Good to know nothing needs changing for Gutsy.

And I already know about finstall coming with V6 now. I am a little behind on my updates. However, I am all but finished the coding, I just need to add the content to the database :)
