We don't know so much about computing or Linux but anyone of us can download Ubuntu to a DVD or to a USB stick. You can choose between the flavours at http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop or in here http://www.ubuntu.com/download
Then once installed follow this instructions http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Insta...OINC_on_Ubuntu for all other Linux you have this link http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Installing_on_Linux
That page of Linux instructions is not for me and maybe is not for you either.
and STE\/E try from scratch on one computer to clean all those instructions you have been giving to the OS. Maybe we can lose some time depending on the project but it works and it is Linux and it is faster.
Friends are like diamonds and diamonds are forever
I've never run Test4theory before. I decided to try it to see if I ran into the same issue Ste\/e described. So I didn't open VirtualBox, I attached to the project and it immediately downloaded the win7 application file. Too bad you don't get wuprop credit for the time it takes to download the wus. Anyway, 7 hours in and still running. This was a clean install of VB and Ubuntu 12.04 about 30 days ago. I do find it interesting that VB must be installed even though it doesn't appear, outwardly, that T4T really uses it. Then again, I guess I don't need to know why it works as long as it does.
I don't have any problem running the T4T Wu's on my Windoze Box's Al, it's the Linux that won't run them ...
No pain no gain..... right? horrormovie.gif
You'll never know what you're living for until you know what you're willing to die for.
The ironic part is that the task itself is a linux app, running inside a mini-linux OS.....and it runs easiest on windows.
WFIW, on OSX machines, after installing vbox, you also have to run a simple command line in a terminal. No big deal, and you have to do it only once. But it is still a second step needed.
