how to install update client in ubuntu

Did that. un-tar'ed the files onto desktop - c&p into folder - ran script - no joy
Edit: changed permissions - still no joy (same as below)


stephen@lemonman:~/foldingathome$ ./folding start

['folding' ver. 5.4]

Starting up FAH client(s) on 2 processor(s):
Starting FAH client at CPU1...
FAH client #1 startup: OK


Starting of FAH client(s): FAILURE

Edit2: both the file are in the foldingathome folder (with links in the cup1 folder)

tried via manual instalation and got the old client - why is it so hard? :(

Whoa there. You're getting right client, but your system seems to think the date is after the 1st July 2007.

I'd check your system date if I were you ;)

just got that myself - doh! didn't expect the date to jump 2 years :eek:
But thanks uncle - any idea why i couldn't get it to work with the direct download?
 
Ok all up and running BUT

With finstall I could turn the service on and off with start and stop.
but I'm stuck with a terminal now - which if i close I stop smp client :(

If this is an offical client stop then fine - if not?
Any way of making it a service again or even on and Off batch file would do.
off to check the sticky but some assistance would be nice.

If you did it manually I have no idea how you make it a service. I have seen a millions guides and none seem to work :p

Thanks a bunch SB :p
Now I know (8 improper shutdowns so far) I'm just shuting down the VMware window and it merrily crunchs away in the background :D

Edit: on that note - anyone know how to give the DVD drive back to windows. If i load a disk windows shows nothing (but it's their in Ubuntu) close down ubuntu and alls well in windows again.
