Ubuntu VM Image?

Delboy · 18 Oct 2008 at 10:49

I want to use ubuntu to get some SMP clients going in a vm image, i'm having trouble getting vmserver to work in vista x64 - does anyone have a vm image with ubuntu installed I could just use vmplayer to run?

Ta for any help.

No issues installing, but when i click vm ware server home page I get:-

Something about certificates?

Clicked cancel but then it gave me same error as above.

Right, after hours of mucking around i've found it only works if you install it as admin and place it on the C: drive under program files (was trying to put it on G: drive).

I've got ubuntu installed, now what? - lol.

Ok, ok now i'm getting somewhere. However my linux knowledge is very (very) limited. Managed to install f@h smp client and I think it's running! Yay!

However, when installing FahMon i get the following error after the "./configure" command.

Thanks for all your help so far, so very close I can feel it!!!

EDIT: Just seen your proposal Rich, it took me 20 minutes to write this and get screens!!!! Ta.

Well, i've hit this from another angle and managed to share the folding folder in ubuntu so windows can see it, now I can monitor both a GPU client running in vista64 and the SMP client running in UBUNTU from windows FAHMON.

So my home rig is running:-

UBUNTU SMP CLIENT (50% CPU Usage) @ 1500 PPD
WINDOWS GPU CLIENT (ATI 9750 98% usage 30% CPU Usage) @ 3500 PPD

Is this the best use to maximise PPD or should I run two UBUNTU clients instead of the GPU client?

Thanks for the help chaps, now to get my double GPU rig setup in the office!!!
