How?

Found D's old post on the subject in the original SMP quide thread - but you need to right click on icons (And I have none now)

whats the long way of setting permissions (can't wait)

thanks in advance

Durring install it gave me a list of server types - remember samba being on list but I think I chose file server. Will follow your steps when I get home and read cob's link when I get home - thanks guys

One question? as I've no terminal window how do you SSH to your Node? (wiki just exploded my mind with semi-relatant ways to use SSH) is that just a confusing way to say use comandline or is it an alturnative comandline variable/protocal/language/flavour/other

Are you looking to log into more than one computer?

no - just see what's happening in Ubuntu server - (don't even know how to view the fahinfo file easily

)

edit: cob - followed the gude but failed at step two (both password and smbuser)
-bash: gksudo: command not found
@KE1HA - does look easy to me... may try when I'm more awake.

More likely go back to desktop version - at least i can navigate in that

Take note that 'system_username' is ofcourse your own username.

didn't work - Failed to modify pasword entry for user system_username

Edit: is their a one line command to check progress/status when in the foldingathome folder (or anyother for that matter)

Edit2: ./folding status works but does tell me % or WU number

Edit3: how do i open unitinfo.txt?

Doh!

I don't know where the CPU1 directory is... thought it was in foldingathome, but is says no such file or directory.

dir works and it's their - Ahhh I need to put in whole path inc foldingathome (even if I'm already in foldingathome) so cd ~/ always works from home folder.

nano worked a treat thanks uncle (once I remembered that the little up arrow ment Ctrl)

did nano need samba - and if not can/should i remove it

shadowscotland · 11 Jan 2008 at 15:26

:~$ cat ./foldingathome/CPU1/unitinfo.txt

looks like the winner

but the nano is also mightly usefull for fault finding but I guess I could use

:~$ cat ./foldingathome/CPU1/FAHlog.txt

and just use the 'up' arrow to retype the command (changing FAHlog with unitinfo as desired)

whats the $ for? might as well learn some more code while I'm in the mood

shadowscotland · 11 Jan 2008 at 16:10

if that was true why the full path... anyway that's well worth knowing - could have used that last night so

cd ~$/ changes directory from current possition

shadowscotland · 11 Jan 2008 at 17:22

and all those months I've been using cd ~ to get home

I.e. to print the contents of unitinfo.txt to the screen, wherever you are in the filesystem, just type
"cat ~/foldingathome/CPU1/unitinfo.txt"

It it generally good practice to always work from 'Home' as a datum?
Thanks again uncle for the clarification (hopefully my questions are now rated extreme novice instread of noob

)

Just make a vmware shared folder (being the Folding folder) and point Windows Fahmon to that, then you don't even need a network

Now your talking -
