ccokeman Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 Well it seems to work for me. Almost 20 hours in , 2 work units sent in for 1174 points and a third wu worth 716 points 26 % done. Time is still synced within 1 minute give or take 30 seconds. It took a little rereading of the process but it works. Only thing i am missing now is how to monitor the client while running it in vmware? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemo Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 Linux cannot safely write to a NTFS file system. You would have to create a FAT32 partition for the two OSs to share. A posted a link to a guide in this thread that explains how to do it. I am using Ubuntu 6.10 and am not having any issues uploading WUs (well, 2 so far any way).

Nemo Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 When you set up VMWare and told it how much disk space to use, Ubuntu then partitioned that space as an ext3 partition Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
road-runner Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 (edited) When you set up VMWare and told it how much disk space to use, Ubuntu then partitioned that space as an ext3 partition On the dual boot I installed with the disk and let it install it in which it put on my second partition (a 250gb split in half windows on the first), I guess it changed it also?

Silverfox Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 ok noob question. i have my E6600 and am tempted by this idea. however, does Ubuntu run like a "virtual" OS in that it will operate *inside* windows xp as i use it? IE, i can use XP day to day and check up on WUs? it wasn't clear to me you see, so if someone can confirm, i will attempt to get it set up on friday.

Nemo Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 Absolutely. You install the VMWare server on your Windows machine and Ubuntu runs inside that as a virual OS. You can alt-Tab over to check on it just like any Windows app. Inside VMWare though, Ubuntu works just like regular Linux. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it will have reformatted that partition into a Linux file structure, probably ext3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it just went on the NTFS and was working on it. Learn something new every day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

road-runner Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 I wonder how well the quad core would perform with SMP? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
