Langouste -- WU upload/download de-coupler (+upload capping)

[bollix47]

For Ubuntu:

From a terminal:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install build-essential

or use Synaptic and search for build-essential.

[rickoic]

I also would like help, using Ubuntu 9.10.
I tried the apt-get install gcc, and apt-get install make and got the message that both were the most current version.

Tried then the make ded and got the message make: * * * No rule to make the target * * * dep

And of course if I tried then make I got make: * * * No targets specified and no make file found * * *

Tks
Rick

Then I did the apt-get build essential and it finished with 'setting up build-essential (11.4)'
still get the same error messages.

Rick,

You need to change directory to directory containing extracted sources (prior to calling make).

Do a "cd directory/where/extracted/sources/are" from the terminal; e.g.

Code: Select all

[user@octopus ~]$ cd langouste3-0.12.1
[user@octopus langouste3-0.12.1]$

Sorry, dummy me

prompt =
me@me-desktop:-$

ls doesn't show any such directory. Is there a way to search for the correct directory?

Tks
Rick

"~" is an alias for your "home" directory.

"pwd" shows current directory (full path)
"ls" shows directory contents

If you extracted the archive in home directory you should be able to see "langouste3-0.12.1" directory there ("ls").
If you extracted the archive to the desktop, try going into "Desktop" directory before going to langouste3-0.12.1 -- "cd Desktop" when in home directory.

I'm thinking of providing step-by-step command line instructions.

I'd need one piece of information though -- what's typical on Ubuntu -- wget or curl?


Thanks,

[bollix47]

wget

Thank you, Good Master!

Step-by-step build instructions for Debian/Ubuntu.
Launch terminal; then run following commands:

Code: Select all

apt-get install build-essential
apt-get install wget
wget http://darkswarm.org/langouste3-0.12.1.tar.gz
tar xzf langouste3-0.12.1.tar.gz
cd langouste3-0.12.1
make dep
make

Ok, still the one with the dunce cap on.

Got all that done and found the langouste-helper.sh file alright.
Now you say copy it into the folding directory.
I've tried with my limited knowledge to copy it but it keeps giveing me directory not found.

cp -T langouste-helper.sh //me@me-desktop/folding/langouste-helper.sh

Sorry to be such a dunce, but I'm real new to linux.

Tks
Rick

Rick,

A pre-requisite for completing this process is that you know location of your folding@home client directory.
Judging by the command line you're trying to use let me ask you this -- is it called "folding" ? (in other words -- does "ls" in your home directory show it?)

Pardon me if I'm asking the obvious -- just trying to make sure.

*If* it actually is called "folding" then it's enough to call "cp langouste-helper.sh ~/folding/" (when in dist/ directory as extracted from the archive).

Feel free to copy&paste contents of your terminal into future posts (for easier troubleshooting).


Thanks,
tear

Tks for the quick reply.

I found the correct format to use and got it to the folding dir.

cp langouste-helper.sh ~/folding

Tks
Rick

Rick,

Can you do me a favor?
Can you please do "ls -l ~/folding" and paste the result? (it should contain all client files and the helper script)

Thanks,
tear

That's it deleting all the flags and sizes and such stuff.

I surely do appreciate your help and patience.

Excellent. All that tells me you're good to go


Thanks,

hope you don't mind I've compliled all the instructions for Ubuntu.

(If you have the latest already installed it will tell you)
apt-get install gcc
apt-get install make
apt-get install build-essential
apt-get install wget

(Now go get langouste)
wget http://darkswarm.org/langouste3-0.12.1.tar.gz
tar xzf langouste3-0.12.1.tar.gz

cd langouste3-0.12.1
make dep
make

(Now move the helper script to your folding directory)
cd dist
cp langouste-helper.sh ~/folding/
cd ..

(Now lets start langouste)
(You must leave the terminal window open using this command line)
./langouste3 -l 8088 (the -l is a lower case L)
(This command line will let langouste run in the background)
./langouste3 -l 8088 -D

(We now need to tell FAH6 that is needs to use proxy, localhost, and our port #)
cd ..
cd folding
(Give FAH6 a ctrl-c and wait until all cores have printed out that they've stopped)
./fah6 -config (or -configonly)
change use proxy to 'yes)
just hit enter for localhost
put port # that you used (in example I used 8088)

You should be up and running now.

Tks tear
