Ok, I want in!

You CAN'T fold SMP WITHOUT the 32 bit libraries being already installed!

I have no idea why but nic 2 works now that i turned on the dhcp on the router. No I didn't install the 32 bit libs yet. one step at a time just trying to get it back to foldin' for tonight. we'll try doin' that tomorrow unless i haveto have them in order to fold smp style.

Yes you need to install the 32bit libraries to fold smp, it will take all of 30 seconds. Reason is that the FAH client is 32 bit but the fah smp core is 64bit. In Ubuntu 6.10 the developers finally removed the 32bit libraries. They were present in Ubuntu 6.06 but this was because upon release there was not yet a 64bit copy of open office. Now that there is the 32bit libs are gone. Probably way more info than you wanted.

8 ) Connect the rig to the internet and just be patient, now. Just below and inside the date/time display in the upper right hand side, you'll see a balloon message appear in a few minutes, telling you "updates are available. Click on the update icon to install them". ==> You DEFINITELY want those updates installed! Click on the update icon, and let Edgy Eft, do it's updating.

this didn't happen with my install i found the update prog and set it to task its updating now.

9) Get the 32 bit libraries: Click on "Applications" and choose "Accessories", then "Terminal" to open a terminal window to work in. Carefully keyboard in this at the prompt: "sudo apt-get install ia32-libs", with no quotation marks, and press enter. Edgy Eft will d/l and install the 32 bit libraries, without further interference (ok, help Smile ), from you. At this time, the SMP FAH client is a 32 bit program. No 32 bit libraries, no runny. Razz

D'oh
will the updates get the 32 bit libs?? if not I ask because i tried this and it came back with libs not found or some such thing.





I didn't find this nice guide either when i searched????? strange???

On the contrary i love more info it helps me to understand why,what,when,etc.

 

[Adak]

No. Updates are all 64 bit stuff, as Shelnutt2 stated.

What you want are the older 32 bit libraries. Use the sudo command that Shelnutt2 and I have written out, after you finish your 64 bit updates.

Adak

P.S. Naturally, your install was different because you didn't have DHCP set on your router. Mine has that, and thanks for pointing that out. I'll add that to my install guide.

ohh. i missed that bit.

what are screwups for if not to find the differences from doing things the easy way.

You wouldn't find it. I left team 32 after being told to STFU by some young punk, on T32, and nobody said anything about it.

That doesn't work with me.

Adak

 

[Hack30]

ok apparently i had to update first to get the terminal working right because now apt-get ia32-libs is now working and getting libs.

 

[Hack30]

Ok Ubuntu linux 64 bit installed

nic (at least one) working

updated

32 bit libs installed

now for the smp client??? yes/no

^%&^%#@ were did i see that nice step by step post, i know its around here somewhere.

 

[Adak]

Right, updates are #8. 32 bit libraries are #9.

I believe I misled you on that, sorry.

WHAT!!!! You've got to be kidding!! Thats outragous! Thankfully I havn't had the displeasure of that kind of experience. I at least hope your being treated well now?



PS Thanks for the help

It's post #17 in the thread: Here's the part you need:

10) Enter each of these lines in terminal, exactly:
mkdir -p ~/folding/FAH
cd ~/folding/FAH

Now your /folding/FAH directories are made, and you are in the FAH directory.

11) Get the FAH SMP client: In the terminal window, enter this:
wget http://www.stanford.edu/~kasson/fold..._SMP_Linux.tgz
That is a wavy tilde before the "k", not a hypen with a smudge. Smile

12) Extract the compressed files: click on "Applications", "Accessories", then "Archive Manager". Double click on the "folding" directory, and then repeat that on the FAH directory. Select the FAH compressed file which will now show up; then click on the "Open" button to extract it into that directory.

13) Stanford's instructions listed configuration for the FAH client, first, and running it thereafter. May not be necessary, but that's what I did:

In the terminal window (still in the FAH directory), enter:
./fah5 -configonly
No space before the period, one space only before the hyphen, and all lowercase letters, please.

Enter your Name, Team Number, etc. You must choose "yes" to the big packets question to participate in the project, since all the WU's are quite large.

14) Stanford recommends entering this on start up:
./fah5 -forceasm -verbosity 9

And let the SMP folding begin!

Well I missed that. I'm sorry that you left. Although it seems your still willing to help


http://folding.stanford.edu/FAQ-SMP.html

 3) To get the SMP FAH client going type in following commands:

mkdir -p ~/folding/FAH
cd ~/folding/FAH
curl -O http://www.stanford.edu/~kasson/folding/FAH_SMP_Linux.tgz
tar xzf FAH_SMP_Linux.tgz

Note: If you don't have curl available on your machine, use wget instead:

wget http://www.stanford.edu/~kasson/folding/FAH_SMP_Linux.tgz

4) Now you should have the SMP FAH client in place and you'll have to configure it. It can be done by running following command:

./fah5 -configonly

After setting the configuration there are couple of ways to start the SMP FAH client. One way is to start it is by typing in each time the following command

./fah5 -verbosity 9

5) OPTIONAL: To make it a little easier for yourself, one can making a script by running following commands:

echo "./fah5 -verbosity 9" > FaH
chmod +x FaH

Now you'll just have to run

./FaH

and all those additional FAH client flags will get added by itself.

 

[Hack30]

Right, updates are #8. 32 bit libraries are #9.

I believe I misled you on that, sorry.

Adak

No, we are jumping around a bit with the delays between posts.

I'm trying to compensate by backin g up to see if I missed anything.

 

[Adak]

Oh Yeah!

Thankfully, my brother in law is an TCP/IP instructor. He taught me how to actually put a firm right cross right on the chops, over the internet. Amazing stuff!

You're quite welcome, Hack30.

OK i cant get smp cliet from terminal it says "failed: Name or service not known"



Also where are the folding and FAH directories located? will i see them on the desktop. I'm very visual i like to see where things are.

this one worked

they are under your home directory, then folding then FAH. Go to places -> home folder.

in the terminal you did
"cd folding"
"cd FAH"
"./fah5"

You could do it all in one step but for simplicity sake we will use 3 steps.

edit:

Did you get it?

 

[Hack30]

Ok client down loaded

client extracted (took a little figuring out)

client configured

now to run client

................... Huh, no boom? Alright no boom!!!



Thank all of you who partisipated in getting this dumb idiot on the path to LINUXVILLE/SMPVILLE/windowslessville. I appreciate all of your trailblazing efforts and yopur kindness to drag me along with you for the ride. I enjoyed every migrain enducing minute of it. LOL Just kidding But i really had a headache when i started this and i was still able to do it. All around

Ps Root beer for the Kiddies.LOL
