thx for the welcome 900i.

happy to be helping save the world, two proteins at a time

Well,

Isn't my world small? I'm a Biochemist that sort of took on a role that let me to 80+ countries around the world. I've worked for the big Rx/Dx companies. Plus, a lot of smaller guys.

I can spell PCR, and have met Kary Mullis, and seen 2 other Nobel guys speak.

I've grown used to computing, it took a while. LOL! Like learning Linux, and opensource has been a pleasure.

What can I do for you over here?

Just join the team and start Folding

Just about to drop into the sub 7000 teams in the world, and all this with a 6 man team. Come on you Mintyites join the team! Then we can climb even higher up the rankings. Very encouraging for a team that only started on June 14th, barely 3 months ago! We need more members if we are to continue this meteoric rise. Meanwhile congrats to the present members and keep up the relentless folding.

I am new to linux and am expecting to have my thinkpad on Tuesday. I was hoping for today but no such luck. Anywa - I am in if someone is willing to walk me through the command line stuff i need to get it working. I looked at that befopre when i first dabbled in linux and there were instructions that I just could not follow for linux to get it all happening.

as a team is there any stipulation as to which project you choose or anyone is OK?

Thank you.

Thanks

ok assuming you downloaded FAH504-Linux.exe

ok...

To use this program, make sure that you can execute it (chmod +x FAH5-Linux.exe) and then run it ./FAH5-Linux.exe

basically all you have to do.

but! run "./FAH504-Linux.exe -configonly" then you can input your name, team number, etc. Unless you're going to be running 2 clients or want to crunch heavier work units you can just hit enter to everything after those two.

our team is: 76140

then just type "./FAH504-Linux.exe" and you should be good to go. I use the " -configonly" tag in case I forgot something I don't want to have to hit ctrl+c and run it again you know...but whatever.

I don't have mine set to start at system boot but you probably could, I haven't really bothered to look how...

If I missed something or whatever just ask.

To autorun at startup

Add

Code: Select all: /home/USERNAME/foldingathome/folding start

as a new startup program to sessions (found under preferences in main menu).

That should get it going at boot.

There's a little video I put together here, just basic stuff to get you started, welcome to the team.

ok - idownloaded 3 times the seti boinc via synaptic - cannot find it at all.

I tried seti and the other medical boinc client rosetta and downloaded the package but cannot open - ran the scripts as told via terminal and cannot open etc, etc etc....I am lost and kind of ticked.

I have no clue what to do to get this running and to set this up?

thanks.

Get the video from my site that's about as basic an install as you can get.

Click the WWW link below my post.

OK - Thanks . That blew right by me...

by **GrayWizardLinux** on Sat Oct 06, 2007 7:34 am

ok tried according to your video - had an issue said it was running in the background already...
I do not know command line I cannot see what the heck is going on....I cannot regulate anything.so I guess I am acrewed.

How do I delete this from running and delete this from my laptop?

I do not think this is a good idea afterall - esp since I do not know what you guys know and I cannot have this running all the time - just when i am not using the laptop.

This is way too complex and fuzzy for my likings.

How do I delete all of this from my computer.

sorry but I really tried.

I hate to have to redo my system.

by **900i** on Sat Oct 06, 2007 7:59 am

Just delete the folder where the folding files reside, thats it.

by **GrayWizardLinux** on Sat Oct 06, 2007 8:09 am

Ok - thanks - But in Linux isn't there some formal way of deleting this application that you already loaded/installed? just deleting it does not seem to do it, does it?
