My turn for a linux thread

Can you confirm the full filename of the file you downloaded. .gz = gunzip so no idea what your Linux is up to lol.

Same here.

Tried it on two different rigs but get the same problem.

We're lucky indeed to have the stats sig machine :)

hmm, it works okay on my machine. I will however check my script and make sure I haven't accidently missed something. Will post back in about 15 mins.

GPU client is now taking 20 mins a frame is there any point keeping this going at this speed?

what have you done to it?

VMware should work at "Normal" priority as default and should be taking about 80% of your CPU time, your GPU client should be set to use 100% of CPU if available and shouldn't matter if you set it to low or idle since bother are lower than "Normal".

I'm getting 12 minute frames on my X1900 XT using the above settings.

edit: If you want to set VMware to "Low" then reconfigure the GPU so it runs at "Idle" instead but keep that CPU usage as up to 100%
 
could you post some script on how to get this to run as a service (FAH i mean) am i being stupid or do you just configure it then type the service command?
 
OK just ran all the commands and it worked fine for me. All I can think of is you don't have gzip installed.

You could try running sudo apt-get install gzip to see if you have it installed. If you don't it will install it :)

I don't know how to do it in Ubuntu unfortunately. If you installed SMP via finstall it will do it for you. I have been trying to install my second SMP client as a service but nothing is working :(
 
well im not going to install it as a service untill i get fahmon working otherwise i wont know if its doing anything
 
23:58:22 (30.77 MB/s) - `wine.tar.gz' saved [613]

steven@steven-desktop:~/Desktop$ gzip -dc wine.tar.gz | tar xf -

gzip: wine.tar.gz: not in gzip format
steven@steven-desktop:~/Desktop$

after using the code as above it just does that, so i dont know if im doing something wrong or the code isnt right.. it just wont work atall.

getting about 11mins per frame on my GPU client now ive set it to 100%

any ideas on this FahMon... im going to give up soon and head to bed.

Remind me nearer the time, thats if my score doesnt go back above yours in the meantime with this new client ??

anyway yeah its nice to have someone to compete with :) gets a bit boring just overtaking everyone :cool:
 
Code: 
sudo apt-get install gzip

Then try gzip -dc wine.tar.gz | tar xf - again.

If that doesn't work try

Code: 
gunzip < wine.tar.gz | tar xf -

Tried all that - still get the same.

I was looking into another solution for FahMon which was to share the folding directory using Samba so I could use my Windows FahMon to monitor it along with all my other clients.

I installed Samba but after that I got a bit lost :p
Think I may have to set the IP address of the virtual machine so it's on the same subnet as all the others then I hopedully will be able to see it :o
 
well i still havent got anything to work.. and im getting a bit fed up really.. i'll just watch my stats go up and leave the terminal open. i just have a short temper with things i dont know how to work lol..

Thanks for the advice etc..

*Given up*
