I run the Linux client on Vista 64 via VMWare and ubuntu 64. IMO ubuntu is ideal as its lightweight compared to openSuSe and i only use that setup for folding. (i need to be in Windows most of the time). When booting to Linux i use ubuntu Studio.

What i'm not sure about, although i'm sure someone here will be able to confirm. I'm not sure if you can run a 64bit Linux with VMWare installed on a 32bit Windows XP.

BTW: openSuSe + state of the art graphics card = nightmare.

*headquarter84* · 28-05-2007

anyway, i don't have an SMP cpu... wonder if there's still that big difference between the generic Linux and WIN clients.?

*debro* · 28-05-2007

Standard Linux client (not SMP) is very slow compared to the Windows clients, or perhaps it just gets larger WU's .... for the same points.
Either way, 32b client is better in windows.

**** ENSURE THAT WINDOWS CLIENTS ARE NOT USING IE SETTINGS ****
None of my standard windows clients have had issues connecting over the weekend.

*adict2jane* · 28-05-2007

Connection issues are usually server problems and not due to individual clients.

I have, however, had issues with the Windows graphical client shutting down after it reports finished tasks. But only on computers which I ask for permission before connecting to the internet.

ummm.... i think i'm gettin gmyself into The World Community Grid

... thanx to adict2jane

@ debro. Is that in the FAq's because I admit I didn't look that closley. So You are saying I should change these two settings to "no"

Code:

- Ask before connecting: Yes
- Use IE connection settings: Yes

If so I would have to run the install bat again or can I edit the client cfg with notepad. Kinda worried about losing this though.

Code:

 
Completed 335000 out of 500000 steps (67 percent)

EDIT:Hehe Never mind. I opend the cfg with notepad and can't tell what setting is what. Well sort of.

Code:

 [settings]
username=crossg
team=13505
asknet=yes
bigpackets=yes
machineid=1 
[http]
active=no
host=localhost
port=8080
usereg=yes

Edit 2: I changed two yes to no in the client cfg and it seems to be working

*debro* · 28-05-2007

You can run "fahxxx.exe -configonly" & it will alter it for you without affecting the running client, however you will need to restart the running client before the settings will be used anyway.

Terminating the client shouldn't lose an entire work unit, just the part of the WU that it's working on now ... 10-20 minutes of work for most people

No guarantee for SMP clients though

If it asks for user confirmation everytime it finishes a WU, then it's obviously wasting alot of Crunching time waiting for the user to hit yes. If you have always on broadband (and who still uses dialup, right?) then 5MB won't make difference in the great scheme of things, although it's potentially about 150-200MB every month, for those of you with download limits. 400/600 if you have a C2D on 24/7 and finish 1.5 WU's a day.

Create a shortcut to the F@H client, right click and go to properties. Insert this as the target "C:\Program Files\Folding@Home 5.04\FAH504-Console.exe" -config substituting whatever drive letter that F@H is on for the C:\. This will also allow you to change the configuration anytime you start F@H.

I think i have mine configured right now. Hopefully someone can check and see if my nic rolling56 is on the team?

Edit:
Maybe not........see attachment. What now?

**zevia** · 28-05-2007

@rolling56, you will need:

- Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 installed, check with Control Panel's Add/Remove Program, if it's not there then update your Windows (windowsupdate.com)
- Your Windows login username and password: you will need a password and it's under admin privileges. If your login has no password (blank) it won't work.

After both steps above are done:
- run again install.bat, enter your Windows username and password.
- run FAH.exe, enter your FAH username (rolling56) and team 13505. For other questions you can just press enter.

ok i installed .Net Framework 2.0 and i just cannot get through the sign in. I installed XP myself so i know my name and password

Here's screen shot of what i get. What am i doing wrong?

**zevia** · 28-05-2007

Ok, you're getting close...

account (domain\user): just press Enter
password: enter Windows password for username Robert
confirm password: re-enter the password.

Dee, 64bit Linux with VMWare can run on 32bit Windows XP as long as the CPU is 64bit (dual core, C2D, AMD 64bit etc).

I switched to Windows SMP beta client now since I noticed VMWare is slowing down the machine and took quite a lot of RAM resource, however it is very stable. The Windows SMP beta does not slow down my PC although it's not stable eq sometimes when restarting the PC it will start the project from 0% again.

Sorry I missed it. I think there's authentication error (wrong username/password).... and/or perhaps blocked by your firewall?
