road-runner Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 Okie Doke, I'm running it. How much ram did you guys assign it? I'm tempted on just dual booting with a 64bit linux distro, forgot how much more fun linux was Edit: Wow this is fast! :thumbs-up: *Wonder's what kind of PPD I'll get with a 3.5ghz Core 2. I already see that I'm about 5 minutes faster than injs On one machine it was 896 I think it was, all I had left, the other I gave 1740mb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccokeman Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 This is where i show how much i truly don't know. Just some questions Are you running ubuntu as the only os or is it a dual boot? It says on the guide you wont screw up your windows install so is this going to another partition? Do i need to set one up? Is this running ubuntu and windows at the same time and the vmware allowing you to monitor or switch back and forth? Just a bit confused.

VMware Server sets up it's own little virtual machine, this is where you install ubuntu. It creates a virtual partition in your C drive which is why it says that when you format it in the virtual machine, it won't screw with anything because it's in it's own little mini partiton. It's basically making a virtual environment for another OS within an OS BUT you can skip all this by dual booting or using it as a main OS but it really isn't that hard to setup. Take a look at my screenshot above, as you can see, I'm running Ubuntu in VMware which is running in windows Edited January 28, 2007 by The Unforgivin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cchalogamer Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 Here's what the folder VMware makes loosk like on your HDD (8GB Ubuntu Partition here, though for folding you can use less than 3GB) Note the 8GB file, that's where Ubuntu think it "formatted" and then installed not touching XP.

hardnrg Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 (edited) hahah looks like nrg needs to set it to update the guest OS clock to keep it with the system so your clock is perfectly synched in ubuntu under vmware server? nm... i figured out how to install vmware tools and enabled time sync... slowly but surely, i'm becomin less of a linux noob lol and... now i've added f@h to the startup programs... getting there... heh Edited January 28, 2007 by hardnrg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingdingeling Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 I have the same problem. im getting all excited because i was doing a 500 point wu at 2 minutes a frame, and then i check like 15 minutes later and was only 2 frames more along I have about 6 minutes a frame at 3.2GHz. Laptops are to gonna submit sometimes today/tomorrow (dang this Celeron crap is slow!!), GPU client should be in for another WU sometimes today/tomorrow... I noticed something weird about the SMP client, I load at about 5C less running that, with the GPU client taking the other 25% of the CPU load. Me likeys!

cchalogamer Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 so your clock is perfectly synched in ubuntu under vmware server? nm... i figured out how to install vmware tools and enabled time sync... And right there's WHY mine stays synched Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingdingeling Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 no need to do that, my time stays synced with windows, I set it from the start and its fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
road-runner Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 (edited) Got it on 3 dual cores, 1 I had to install as dual boot because the CPU does not have V.T. Turned in 2- 1000 pointers this morning Edited January 28, 2007 by road-runner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
