My turn for a linux thread

Installed using that finstall script. However, at the time when the config was meant to come up, it didn't. Instead it said to basically run

Code:

./FaH -configonly

From each of the cpu directories to configure them. However, typing that in under CPU1 gives

Code:

./FaH: line 75: /home/lou/foldingathome/CPU1/FAH504-Linux.exe: No such file or directory

Presumably it's not happy with being referred to a "link to an executable".

No mention of an smp flag in Billy's guide. So where does this flag come in? At the start when running the script? Cheers

Also, is winehq down?

Tbh I would avoid the finstall script and do it manually for SMP. I had problems with it.

Ok, will have a stab at it but I'm not sure what I'm doing. Any chance of some instructions?

This looks right

./finstall smp

Works I think. Just working out the service thing.

joeyjojo · 27 Jan 2007 at 22:05

Service sorted, now to configure it. The scripts still can't find those link to exe things.

did you download the 32-bit libraries like in step 8 of the guide above?

!!!

Excellent work Rich, fantastic

So, all working. What shall I use to monitor it then? And temps too? I didn't install the add on with the script. Website is down (just for me

)

Got a p3027 apparently.

Download Fahmon for linux and follow post 76 here.

Can't work that out

joeyjojo · 27 Jan 2007 at 23:09

Installed scons from the package thingy (go me!) Typed scons and it did a load of stuff but no .exe to be found.

joeyjojo · 27 Jan 2007 at 23:32

No not compiling anywhere. Bizarre. Will look into it tomorrow, I'm probably being an idiot

Thanks for your help mate.

Getting 12mins/frame at stock. 716 point wu, so 860 ppd?

Gonna put her on 3ghz now and see how that changes things

joeyjojo · 27 Jan 2007 at 23:42

Cob said:
You are pointing your terminal to the /src folder before using scons? Like-

Code:

cd /*****/FahMon/src scons

Yes, no luck. Maybe a restart will fix it.

joeyjojo · 28 Jan 2007 at 00:39

Just noticed that the logs are a bit screwed up.

eg.

Code:

[00:36:42] Entering M.D.
[00:36:48] pleted 500000 out of 5000000 steps  (10 percent)
[00:36:48] Extra SSE boost OK.
[00:36:48] E boost OK.
[00:36:48] 0 percent)
[00:36:48] Extra SSE boost OK.

Wierd

Mine's like that. It's normal.

Thank God for that

You've been a great help mate. Thanks again, and I've got to get some sleep now. Goodnight

joeyjojo · 28 Jan 2007 at 11:00

Now that this machine is hitting about 1400ppd (omg lol) I need to get wine installed.

Will post in linux

joeyjojo · 28 Jan 2007 at 15:08

SMP Client on AMD64 Ubuntu

Code:

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
cd ~
mkdir foldingathome
cd foldingathome
wget [url]http://ra.vendomar.ee/~ivo/finstall[/url]
chmod +x finstall
./finstall smp

Then answer the prompts as you see fit.

Finally after the long bit about setting up as a service

Code:

./installService

And you're done

joeyjojo · 30 Jan 2007 at 00:50

Used your little vmware guide above rich and am now crunching in xp. Nice to be back tbh. Can finally play some games again

Ta mate, and all who gave help

joeyjojo · 31 Jan 2007 at 07:22

Same router here :rolleyes:

Actually not using it atm, gone wireless.

joeyjojo · 31 Jan 2007 at 18:31

It's been hanging recently. Turns out it's due to some changes I made to network settings.

Fix at http://forum.folding-community.org/viewtopic.php?t=17024&highlight=

One more thing. Is there a safe way of closing it if it's in a window?

joeyjojo · 31 Jan 2007 at 19:37

CTRL+C

Worth reiterating I think

Thanks

Hopefully now I can get some proper points crunched. Get this 24hr average up a bit :cool:

joeyjojo · 31 Jan 2007 at 20:36

Double post, soz

Could do with a script which runs, on start up, in a terminal

Code:

cd folding/FAH
./fah5

Thanks

joeyjojo · 31 Jan 2007 at 23:33

Cob said:
Doesn't the installService script do that? Or do you actually want a terminal to be opened.

Tho I see you've changed the default foldingathome folder to folding/FAH.

Yeh sorry should have explained. Not using finstall anymore. Gone for Rich's stolen guide on the first page of this thread. Let's me have all the info in a convenient terminal for easy monitoring. So ideally the script would open a terminal, change directory and run the script.
