linux 9.04

dark bishop · Jun 20, 2009

anybody folding in 9.04 yet? i just set it up on my 5000+ with 8800gt. so far the smp install is going fine but im having a little trouble with the gpu client, mainly the drivers, there arent any 9.04 drivers yet and it wouldnt install the drivers for 8.10.

ive got Voidn and GeneralMac on may tail and this is hopefully what will keep them off.

I am running Kubuntu 9.04 with the GPU client. If by no drivers available you are referring to the Nvidia CUDA drivers page? Just use the 8.10 drivers and toolkit. That page is always one Ubuntu version out of date but they always work with the latest version. You should just be able to get away with installing the restricted nvidia driver from the Ubuntu repos and just install the toolkit from the CUDA site.

ill try that since the 8.10 drivers wouldnt install for some reason. thanks.

dark bishop · Jun 21, 2009

no go still, 9.04 wont accept the 8.10 anything.

Zerix01 · Jun 21, 2009

What is the exact problem you are having while installing the driver?

I'm using 9.04 to fold smp and to run a gpu folder, as well.

I used these instructions:

I'm a noob with Linux, but this worked - amazingly enough.

running on 9.04. Not using the graphics card though. dunno why, just haven't set it up yet.

Ok yeah I remember why I am not running the GPU client. Stupid crap kept crashing X. Followed the instructions to the T.

Adak · Jun 21, 2009

X is always the first thing to crap out in Ubuntu, isn't it? Any problem and "There goes X, right into the crapper!".

I had great luck with that bit of instructions - running like a champ since May. (If you don't count a weird hardware problem which seems to be the PSU's fault).

well that guide was going good until i got a "cant run" on this

Code:

sudo sh ~/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-180.29-pkg2.run

any ideas?

Adak · Jun 21, 2009

There is *one* line I saw in the thread that had an error in it.

Problem is, I was nervous getting this to work - Linux compiles have never worked for me in the past - and I just didn't note it.

IIRC, the file name you are installing, is a more recent file. Check your download filename. I believe it's 180.31 or some such.

Let me know, if that doesn't work

dark bishop · Jun 21, 2009

will do

Adak · Jun 21, 2009

I just checked, my package was 180.51. Yours may be even more recent.

dark bishop · Jun 21, 2009

nope, 180.51 it is, now im waiting for the cuda tool kit to install. its at about 28% so far, our internet isnt very consistent, like a monkey is playing with the switch.

AFTER you enter this there is a lot of output which contains an error message. What is that message (or best: all the output).

Adak · Jun 22, 2009

The error is that the given text doesn't include the current filename of the package. Instead of ...180.29-pkg2.run, it now gives you ...180.51-pkg2.run

If you don't happen to notice that you're being given an updated version of the package, you'll get errors, and no joy!

And joy is good!

new problem, getting wine working was the biggest problem i had last time and now its confused me again.

please forgive my horrible drawing.

dark bishop · Jun 22, 2009

didnt explain that to well there did I? i got wine installed but creating directories confused me, and what am i supposed to do with wine notepad? and for the wget box, do i enter that one line at a time or the whole thing.

The only directory I created and use (myself), is adak/gpu0. Anything else was created by the install script and/or programs.

I took that line as a single *long* wget command line. I didn't think it would work right, but it did.

I don't do anything with WINE notepad. I thought he included it so that when you clicked on WINE in the application pull down menu, it would show you at least one program, instead of just being empty.

You're starting to ask questions here, above my pay-grade.
