My turn for a linux thread

The script downloads it for you.

yep it's all in the finstall magic - though if you forget the SMP bit on the end then you're scuppered

And by that Mr. 99million means that it'll just set up one regular CPU client for each proc detected.

I did it all manually - maybe the next time I submit a WU I'll terminate it from downloading a new one and do the script install instead. But I guess, if it ain't broke...

I did it all manually too - apart from not running as a sevice (which suits me just fine anyway) all is good

If anyone wants the installService and uninstallService scripts I can email them to you.

All you'll need to do to them is edit "Fpath=" to point to your folding folder.

What was wrong? If Joey's wee guide works I'll add it to the FAH sticky.

the service install bit didn't work.
just had to run the client manualy.

 

[BillytheImpaler]

Did it give errors? What'd it do?

I forget
I think it needs a sudo before the rest?

You used to need to use sudo installService but with recent versions of the script it does it for you. They added it because Ubuntu/Debian is now so popular.

So, mine is right?

Can't hurt to add it.

 

[BillytheImpaler]

It looks right to me but I'd like to have some folks tell me it works on a real-life system before I do anything with it.

 

[VeNT]

8 mins (or so, little less than 8) per frame for 3027 on a E6300 @3.2GHz? sound right?

 

[Freefaller]

Yeah seems good to me.


I have just downloaded and run that script install and it only appears to have created one CPU folder (CPU1) - I would have thought that it would have 2? Or does the SMP use both cores as one processor?

if you check the task mangager type thing theres 4 SMP thingys running.

Ah yes... so there is. I wonder when my computer is going to throw a fit and tell me to stop abusing it!

 

[BillytheImpaler]

just had to run the client manualy.

When you ran the client did you run it with finstall using ./folding start?

 

[VeNT]

nope, I double clicked the clients icon in the GUI cos I'm lazy

 

[BillytheImpaler]

Have you restarted since running the service installer? Is it possible that the service installer worked and you haven't yet started the service?

 

[VeNT]

yes I restarted, yes it auto started. I thought the service install would auto start it without reboot. but it needed one.
