Setting up F@H GPU client in Ubuntu... And 1 million points.

[35g700]

I decided to switch to ubuntu until I get a new motherboard that allows me to boot from a SATA hard drive. I've done some stuff with Ubuntu but not much and I need help installing the GPU client.

I also broke 1,000,000 points today.

Good job.

I did it so its not hard... I used a different forum, but try this
SMP Client Install - The Folding@Home SMP Client Guide

Edit,, use 8.04 for the best performance.

Thanks for the guide on how to get the SMP client installed, is their a guide on installing the GPU client?

 

[patonb]

No, not per say. Its a "unofficial" so its not really supported.

Kmote has it running, but if you troll the ff.org they have a whole forum on it.

I couldn't figure out how to get either of those working but I did get the standard client for windows working use wine. Not much but it is better then nothing.

Are you running the 64bit version?

Heres an even easier method

No, I'm using x32 because my sound card is so old it only has 32 bit drivers.

Thats why you can't run smp, needs to be 64bit
