Try installing ia32-libs with

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

Speedy51,

Not sure if you had the app version problem fixed, but guess you have on that machine.

Time/date is not important long as close and mostly used for determining if your certificate is still valid.

How set time/date under VMware I've no idea. Just set your own. BOINC will compute the task deadlines from your present and add on 10 days for the regular jobs for most sciences ran for WCG.

WCG is special with BAM. First attach WCG directly top the client. Then go over to BAM and make sure that the box is ticked on WCG to always attach to new clients. Only then go to the tools or advanced menu of BOINC Manager and select the attach to account manager.

I've noticed in 6.10.58 that the option in the tools menu is now called "Attach to project or account manager". When you select that a second screen appears asking which of the 2 you want to do. The correct BAM url should be offered. At any rate their url is http://bam.boincstats.com/. Presuming you already have a BAM account enter the member name and password. The recommendation is to set both the same as what u use at the projects else the automated managing does not work.

PS,

slade52, Linux 64 bit is Linux 64 bit, be it Debian or Ubuntu (latter being what Speedy51 reports to use. The error without that cc_config.xml option line is the same generic or Debian... faking it and identifying your Linux distro is something WCG knows. Has worked so far for 100% of all who had that error.

One comment needs to be made v.v. this error. Some had it and some did not after installing Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. Strangely uplinger (WCG tech) reported to first have had it and then it to have gone away without making any change. Were it me I'd add the line default in the install package. The sequence is to first ask for 64 bit work, then if that's not offered, get 32 bit jobs, if they're there (so I understand the order of operation). That is of course, few are dead set to only want to do 64 bit compiled work on their 64 bit platform and the funniest now being that the later 32 bit clients installed on a 64 bit platform just as happy handle 64 bit science apps... you know the client is just a manager and has no speed impact on the executing of the projects.

correct me if I'm wrong... learning something new every day, till I die.

Yes, Debian is the mother of Ubuntu. Concur on the booting... sloooooooow out, less slow in. Got it pretty stable up to when one starts using eye-candy stuff such as Cairo Dock in OpenGL mode. Again had a dead freeze on mouse and keyboard, but the good thing is, even then BOINC keeps on running and running, so then I check in remotely.

The Alt-SysReq-b I did not know yet... will try next time (which is likely soon).

Hi I've got a interesting issue with ubuntu 1.04.1 in vmplayer version 3.1.2 build-301548, I can't access the internet through ub but I can in windows 7. I installed all updates for ub through update manager. Internet was working fine then all of a sudden it has stooped. Under vmplayer network adapter is NAT tried changing has made no difference

Please let me know if more details are needed.

One way to fix would be to set up a new vm but if I do that I'll loose some ccw & HFCC tasks

Key
vm= VMware Player & ub= Ubumtu

check network if its connected yes it's showing green. How do i check if DHCP are enabled virtual network editor? I'm assuming NAT is enabled already as in vm setting beside network adapter it says NAT I'm very new to linux in general. Thanks for your help
