Help, linux, smp

Briefly all I've done is run finstall and it started working ok, then I did the ./folding stop command and then I did the ./folding start command and now it just does this everytime it starts:

[21:56:37] Error: Could not write local file. Exiting.
[21:56:37] - Shutting down core

Help

Nope sudo made no difference

This is Ubuntu 8.04.1 in VMware, just incase it makes any difference.

(Hello to you in South Germany lol)

Yes I have setup a Samba share.

Deleted work folder and queue file and it's now crunching away haven't tried stopping and starting though.

I have it installed as a service so I dont have anything onscreen at all.

I'm monitoring it in Fahmon in Vista.

I'm going to have a go at the manual install as well see if I have some better luck.

lol damnit.

I dont run Seti any more unless there's a competition

Are you sure finstall will work - usally take about 4-7 days after the release of a new client for all the automatic links to be updated.

If you set the client up on deadline day (this weekend some time) and then restarted it late last night it might have hit EOL - but should tell you that.

No finstall did exactly the same thing over a week ago as well so It's not the expiration dates that are the problem.

Today just isn't my day.

My mediacentre is still being digusting with it's graphics same problem I had with the 9800 GTX only now it's doing it on an 8600 GT so I'm guessing the 9800 GTX may not be faulty.

Also my laptop PSU just this second exploded

Right now what do I use to make FahCore11.exe run at a higher priority than VMware?

Ouch

Yep, luckily I have a spare multihead laptop PSU which I got when my old laptop PSU started sparking. I's only 0.5v difference in output and can provide more than enough amps.

Edit: Am I right in assuming there is no way to stop the client once it's started

I dont have a terminal window open so I cannot Ctrl+C...

So I have to go find and kil all the threads manually?

Linux seems messy.

Edit 2:

Ok it's all a moot point because i'm still getting the same error message that I started with, even though I'm now installing it manually instead of using finstall.

I.E:
[21:56:37] Error: Could not write local file. Exiting.
