Hi Guys - I have taken the plunge & installed VMware OK plus Ubuntu 6.06 64 bit. I have FAH running with pro 3025 via ./fah5 -verbosity 9 @ about 85% of my x 2 4600 about 11 minutes a frame. In config I set machine id to 2 in case there was a conflict as the win console is 1?!?

As I'm a complete novice with this Linux lark:
Q. do I have to open terminal & type command everytime to run FAH. I know nothing about scripts & how they wrk.

Q2. How do I install FAH monitor? Can't make sense of what I've read.
Do I download it via windows or from Ubuntu [ I know I need the linux version] and install it either from a floppy or the linux desktop?

Q3. Is there an idiot's guide somewhere to help pick up the basic pdq?

Thanks for the help/pointers/insults.
Andrew
 
Usually double-clicking the FaH or fah5 file in your CPU folder will start it.

As for FahMon, try this-

From within Ubuntu, download and un-tar Fahmon sources from here. It's best to keep the un-tared Fahmon folder in your home folder.

Then open Synaptic (System>Admin) and in its Settings>Repositories tick all the boxes in the first tab. Click close and then Reload.

Then in Synaptics search for these and mark them for installation-

Scons
libwxgtk2.6-0
libwxgtk2.6-dev
libwxgtk2.6-dbg

and click apply.

Once that's all finished, open a terminal and point it to the src folder in the FahMon folder and type scons. Eg- If the FahMon folder is in your Home folder type
Code: 
cd FahMon/src
scons

If it's worked you should now have an FahMon exe in the src folder. You'll need to grant it permission to execute.

Thanks for that Cob. I did see similar instruction somewhere else. I will try again tomorrow as I got lost a bit in synaptics earlier.

How do I "un-tar"? I'm a complete noob.
 
.tar is just like any other compressed file format. Think of it like being a .zip or a .rar. To uncompress it use the Archive Manager in the right-click menu.

You shouldn't be afraid to use finstall. It takes all the hard work out of it. I'm serious. It's why I recommend it. If there were a finstall for Windows I'd recommend that too.

What is basic pdq?

EDIT: Wow, I'm getting slow in my old age.

pdq - pretty damn quick

and I guess it was meant to be "basics" of Linux


I too wouldn't mind a brief "Linux for Dummies" guide as I'm still not really getting into it :p
 
Thanks Cob & Billy.

I need to learn about Finstall etc.
My bad typing missed the S. I meant pick up the basics [of Linux/Ubuntu] pdq= pretty damn quick.
After thinking I'd got a fair bit of knowledge about Windows I feel like I've just slide down a snake to try and find a ladder to give me a leg up with a new OS.

Is there a sticky or post I've missed that would help me grasp the simple commands to use?

Off to bed!

In addition to simple commands and the basics of file navigation, what else should be included if perchance I get off my lazy rear and write something?

I'm sure there's a perfect guide out there - just need some recommendations


The only problem I've had so far is when I start looking I tend to end up finding something that gets way out of my depth way too fast - then I generally end up playing OGame or going to do the laundry instead :p

Scripts for simpletons? A brief glossary of terms & name for applets. Q. Is Terminal where it all happens? Do you get desktop icons to run things like in windows & if so how do you create them.
 
Code:
cd FahMon/src
scons​

OK I have got FahMon & tried the above. It finds the folder but scons comes up with error 2 & process is terminated without completing. I tried deleting the folder & un-tarring it again but without luck.
I have installed libraries libwxgtk2.6 etc but plain 2 is not listed. Do I need the 2.4 ones?

Thanks
 
It wouldn't do any harm. Failing that we can try installing Wine and running the windows version through it.

can't find those libs, anywhere I can get them?
 
So I have reinstalled scons,reinstalled FahMon before & after downloading file again & still no joy. Still Error 2.
I did install G++ & that came up with error 1 no username in Fahloganalyzer file & something about time. When I start FAH it clearly shows username!
Don't think I want to go the Wine route - just annoying I can't get it to work or know how to fix it.
Any suggestions welcomed
