Sorry but what do you men by "run/control userpasswords2 and uncheck the box."
I cant really find where that is.
User accounts?

if you are using windows xp the click on the start button the click on run then type "control userpasswords2" in the box and hit enter. Then when the window that pops up uncheck the box in User Accounts at the top. Then hit apply. Hope this helps.

I have never bothered even trying it and can't see much i am missing. Once I set up the first vm, I just copy and rename it to make another. Only need to change the host names and static ip addresses ... avoid dhcp with smp.
Even the smp client gets cloned this way ... just delete any wu (work and queue.dat file) and delete the machinedependant.dat file from the cloned folding dir.

If you want some help with it post away .... Charlie3.0 is probably more of an expert on it than me by now. I don't pretend to be an expert since i just follow crib notes I made from what worked for me ... and i need to keep it simple.

well when I try to type the code in the Terminal it doesn't work so... what next?

What code? Can you do a screenshot?

Do you mean the licence code? I had that problem with one of my early installs. If so just get a new one from vmware ... i found recently when reinstalling that it does not seem to detect duplicates when i reused some license keys. Also, i think they are case sensitive.

I tried going the route with VMware, the problem is though that ubuntu 64 doesn't come with the 32 bit libraries anymore so I cannot get the client to run properly. I tried installing the libraries via synaptix, I get a whole bunch of errors though.

For the time being I am going to stick with the windows SMP client... completed my first WU last for 1100 points, thats with my quad running at 3ghz. I might bump up the clock to the 3.2-3.3 after the next WU completes.

7. now to install folding. since the linux client (not the cores) is a 32 bit app, you need to install ia32-libs on any ubuntu level after 6.10 since it is not installed by default with the os.
- terminal window: 'sudo apt-get install ia32-libs' and hit enter to all the prompts. Alternatively install via gui with synaptic software manger if you prefer ... i find a command line easier/faster even for a lousy typist like me.

This did the trick for me trying to get the 32 bit libraries installed. (from the vmware/linux thread)

I tried that command as well, the download portion goes fine, but when it tries to install it gave me errors about it not being supported etc. I also manually downloaded, tar -xvf filename, and did a manual install to no avail... I think I might try a different version of Linux which still has the 32bit libraries pre installed.

Are you using Ubuntu 64bit? You need to d/l that version. I did that error a while back. Then you can install the 32bit libraries.

Yeah, was using the 64bit. Version 7, the new one that just came out.

[3.0charlie]

When configuring Vmware, did you select the 64bit Linux option?
