The overhead with Vmware is about 20% - which is fairly steep, though 80% of the typical PPD for the SMP work is still pretty nice in my book.

The only thing keeping me using windows at the moment is just being too damn lazy/busy to learn something new

I should have plenty of time in a couple of weeks though - unemployment here I come

Yep I'm fine thanks - I saw it coming for about the last 2 months so we had a relatively cheap Christmas and money isn't too tight at the moment.
I may sell my X1900XT at the end of the month though once folk have been paid as that's a real luxury and I could do with shifting it before it depreciates down to nothing, however if new job is forthcoming I will be putting that money towards a C2D rig and retiring a couple of old SocketA machines methinks

I'm totally with you on this power saving malarky - whilst the GPU client is all well and good it's a huge hog in terms of extra leccy needed aswell as draining the life out of the system

Now you mention it I'm sure you said that things were not that great at works a month or two ago, glad it wasn't out of the blue, and just after christmas to boot

I'm sure you'll get a buyer on the card, and your right sooner rather that later would be better.

C2D for the win \0/

As to power I've saved just under 200w per hour by swapping to my e6400 and enermax or £260 in lecky per year!!!

OK. I've installed Ubuntu and the smp client and all is working fine.

Downloaded FahMon source files & followed these instructions -

dunc said:
Instead Open Synaptic and Make sure that all the repositories are checked.
Reload the selection.

Search for libwxgtk2
Check libwxgtk2.6-0 and libwxgtk2.6-dev and libwxgtk2.6-dbg and all dependencies

Install them.

Then goto the /src directory under FahMon and run scons. Job done

Dunc

When I run scons I get the following -

i've got the same problem even after following duncs post

so any ideas dunc?

You're not the only one with this problem. Seems like it is entirely hit or miss.

Install Wine and run Windows FaHMon

looks like i might have to until i fight a way to compile FahMon properly. Unless there are some other monitoring tools for linux out there

dunc · 4 Feb 2007 at 17:44

Hmmm!!

I am not at an Ubuntu machine, so I am not 100% sure. However, it looks like some libraries are missing. You may need to check that all the kernel headers are loaded.

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-2.6-386

replace 2.6-386 with your kernel

(can be found with 'uname -r')

Also make sure you are running scons under sudo

running sudo scons has got me a bit further but now i'm stuck with this error

Code:

client.cpp:285: error:   initializing argument 1 of 'int wxString::Find(wxChar, bool) const'

what is the output of 'wx-config --list' ?

Default config is gtk2-unicode-release-2.6

Default config will be used for output

Alternate matches:
base-unicode-debug-2.6
base-unicode-release-2.6
gtk2-unicode-debug-2.6

I've found quite a handy guide for setting up Samba for sharing your SMP folder in Ubuntu so that FahMon running in Windows can access the log file

http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/install-samba-server-on-ubuntu/

Worked for me except that I had to browse to the folder in Network Places outside of FahMon and then copy the location address into FahMon manually as it didn't seem to want to find the machine when I tried the normal route :confused:

edit: sorry I got the wrong link - 'tis corrected now

dunc · 4 Feb 2007 at 19:49

I have just built FahMon again on a Ubuntu 6.10 box.

I downloaded the sources to Desktop

I ran synaptic and installed
libwxgtk2.6-0
libwxgtk2.6-dev
libwxgtk2.6-dbg

This installed 7 new packages.

I installed g++

Then I ran scons, and it built fine!!

I have the following installed too;
linux-headers-2.6.17.10
linux-headers-2.6.17.10-generic
linux-headers-generic
