stupid simple SMP upgrade to SERVER ubuntu install

shadowscotland · 2 Feb 2008 at 15:12

Finstall didn't work or manual install - no idea how to upload 2 wu in que either as connect is being very anoying.

Keep it in words of one sysible or less or it's back to nuking the vmware and starting again (only way i've upgraded successfully so far

)

install the beta2 folding client and configure it as normal, edit /etc/rc.local and add commands to run the client at startup.

HOW!

wget http://folding.stanford.edu/release/FAH6.00beta1-Linux.tgz
doesn't work - it's me remenber and I need step-by-step help here please

one the flip side I've got winsmp working for the very first time

but linux gets me more ppd

link worked but install didn't

Edit: ignore that - ./fah6 now starts client

All looks so different now... no more viewing Fahlog or Fahinfo as its all visable in the windows - But where my command promt?
and how do i shut down if needed now?

Doh! no not right is running a standard wu - 2453 on one core

did all bar second to last as don't know full path from C:

- I've now no way to turn off standard wu

Edit: starting again with fresh VMware vertual drive (2GB) to save some raptor space

From C:? This is Ubuntu you're talking about.

this is me we're taking about and you said

full-path-to-directory-to-put-folding-client

I'll try again in a few mins when my new ubuntu is up and running

shadowscotland · 2 Feb 2008 at 22:40

Ok all up and running - 97% 775MB and no command line promt?
what does appending output to 'nohup.out' mean/do?

I thought the server version was striped down - without a promt it's nothing!

shadowscotland · 2 Feb 2008 at 22:55

found the command line - part of your script didn't work (not that I care now it's working)
and my old - :cat ~/foldingathome/01/unitinfo.txt - still works a treat, as does the up/down arrows to repeat prevous commands

just under 11min's a frame - 2605

shadowscotland · 4 Feb 2008 at 13:06

the nohup bit (what ever that is)
Also how do i stop/start the client?
Is it now a service?
why will ./Folding start not work anymore?

Note re stopping the client. Is a pain if you're not sure what you're doing.

So it's not SS friendly then

Thanks Mr.B the chmod's will suit me fine as hopefully I'll not be turning the client on/off very much after I mount the pc on the wall.

nothing works - will try finstall again, the give up

WinSMP also dead

Edit: followed SB's manuel install guide (page 6) but changed web address - now up and running but still no commandline.
makes me want to reuse the pritty versions again - as every server install is completely different...

shadowscotland · 6 Feb 2008 at 09:23

Any.
I'll I have now is a window with a rolling (but not scrolling) fahlog.
identical to a winsmp window - but closeding the window just runs VMware invisably.
I can type commands, but none work (and no error messages)

it's like in inside a txt file with no way out - I'd send you a screen shot but the connect is down again (mumble mumble)

Zerker - your a star, so it's simular to Alt+Tab in windows

shadowscotland · 6 Feb 2008 at 20:15

not playing nicely so going back to desktop version

shadowscotland · 12 Feb 2008 at 13:10

Some feed back for the class

The desktop version, together with LinuxSMP client is running faultlessly now but has increased my step times from 10.5min's to 11.5mins and knocking 200-250ppd of my production

But then again 2150-2200ppd @ 94% is very reasonable for my quiet cruncher
