Ubuntu instruction

Yup. Been there. Do that by rote as well.

Well yeah, those were your instructions to me a few weeks ago.

Well so far my 3 Linux Installations have been a Dismal Failure. I'm running the SLinCA, EDGeS, OProject & WEP +2 Projects on the 3 Box's. I either get about a 80%-90% Computation Error Rate on them or a Constant Restarting of the Wu's where nothing gets done because the Wu's start Restart over & over. Some of the Wu's run to Completion but a very small percentage of them. I'll give them another day before going back to Windows & just forget about those Projects ...

Hey Ste\/e, I just hit 10K in Edges on an Ubuntu VM. Ubuntu version is 12.04 running BOINC v7.0.28 that was installed via Ubuntu Package Manager. I'm not sure but you may not have any issues running WEP +2 also. Clueless about the other projects.

I may have figured out what was wrong, early this morning I set the Activity Section for BOINC to Always Run on each Linux Box & haven't had an error since, so I hope that was it. Funny thing I remember setting them to that before but some how they got changed, possibly when they got rebooted ? so I guess I'll have to remember to reset them each time after a reboot.

VM's are a different animal for me, I have installed VM's before like some years ago & ran the Test Theory Project but now after installing the VM I'm at a complete loss on what to do & how to do it, getting old sucks ... ... I have a VM that automatically installs the dotschux_1.2_64b_vm OS but can't figure out how to Update the BOINC Client that comes with it as many Projec'ts won't run on it as it's to old a Client ...

Okay setting the Linux Box's to always run worked for about 1 day, then the Computation Error's & Constant Restart of the Wu's began again.So now I think it's my Internet Connection, the 3 Linux Box's are Wireless & every time I lose my Connection the Linux Box's go crazy for some reason, anybody have a clue about that. Doesn't seem to affect the Wireless Windows Box's, they seem to keep running merrily along until the Connection is re-established again.

I'm trying to get a New Router to see if that helps with the dropped connection, it seems to happen a lot during the cold weather when the furnace comes on. I may have to go & reset the Router a dozen or more times a day when that happens. I had a new 8 Port Router since Oct of last year but never could get it to run, so yesterday I tried working with it again, I called Comcast & Linksys & it was determined that the WAN Port was no good So I ordered a New one from Linksys since they gave me a deal on a newer model.

Since I had the other Linksys Router since Oct 2012 I figured the Company I got it from wouldn't do anything for me, but I contacted them anyway about it. They told me they couldn't replace the Router since there were few of that particular model on the Market & the ones that were were mostly defective anyway. Great, a company selling known defective equipment. But who ever I talked to said he would have the Accounting Dept refund my money I paid for the Router if the was acceptable to me. I told him that was fine with me, more than I expected really but will have to wait & see if they really do refund the money ...

LOL. If you want, I can send you my parent's old [and cheap] LinkSys router which was dropping connections all the time and getting worse every day. I had them upgrade to the EA3500 dual band router. I'm using the older EA3000 series model and it has worked very well for over a year. I like that you can attach a USB printer or HDD directly to it. Yeah, it was over $100 but you get what you pay for. Rock solid and no external antennas either.

I'll take it ...

Good news is I got the refund thru PayPal for the defective Router, they didn't even ask for it back so possibly I can use it as a Hub down the road if I need to, as far as I know only the WAN Port is bad ...

The bad news is I was just out rebooting all 3 Linux Box's to get them running again. 2 were froze up & 1 was just FUBAR ... I'm running Ubuntu 12.10, maybe I need to drop back to 12.04 ???

lol ... I can't even get Linux to run right let alone worry about Migrating something ...

Well I can say Windows has problems with the 'cra..y' wireless connections also. But most of the time the built in renegotiation of the wireless software hides it from the clueless Windows user.

There 'might' be a Linux flavor out there that tries to fix the 'wireless' problem with being dropped so much on the network connection.
