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.
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 ...
Well, just get rid of the linux. :pQuote:

Maybe some Command needs to be run in the Terminal to get the VBox Started, don't know what it wold be though ???
I haven't followed this whole thread. Did you follow the instructions here?Quote:

Yes, that's the same Instructions F$ posted some posts ago in this Thread, the Wu's still erred out after a few seconds ...
I've got a very old HP laptop 1.5ghz, single core. I installed Ubuntu 12.4. I then installed BM 7.0.27 and VirtualBox 4.1.12 both coming from the Ubuntu Software Center. No command line stuff. VB is just sitting on the taskbar, not running. T4T downloaded and is @ 40% done 8 hours in without any errors.
Great Al, Linux just bit me in the ass again for 100 Hr's of Wu's, for some reason all the Icons on the Launcher decided to disapper, no mater what I did I coulndn't get them back. So I rebooted and of course the SLinCA Wu's don't have checkpoints so they all started fron 0:00 time again. I feel like I'm just running in circles with Linux, run some Wu's then rerun them again because Linux freaks up ... :rolleyes:
I'm not even trying to run the VBox on Linux anymore, I don't know any of the commands to install anything other than BOINC so rather than blow my mind out I just forgot about trying it anymore ...
The good news: there are WAY more than enough windows apps, to get 100 @ 5k hours. Don't need to worry about Linux apps, unless he expands the number of stars beyond 5.
I'm already working on the 6th set of 20 App's, one reason it's taking me so long to get the second Emerald Star or 1'st Sapphire, getting close on both though. I've also got 17 App's over 100 Hr's in the 6'th Set already just in case ... <):)Quote:

I've only git 127 App's, wouldn't know where to get another 23+ App's for 150, but I don't run the Quake or Radiation Projects so I lose some there ...
Too late to help this time, but I've seen that happen (twice in 6 months) on my normal Command/Control Linux box. Simply logging out and back in brings them back for me.Quote:
