installing FAH in Ubuntu

[Sham]

I downloaded the file, used the line of code from the wiki:
mkdir /folding
cd /folding
wget http://www.stanford.edu/group/pandegrou ... -Linux.exe
chmod +x FAH504-Linux.exe

and then manually edited the client file to add my username and team number (couldn't get it to open in the program to let me add that info).

Finally I got it to load and start downloading and it has errors loading the cores. It goes back and forth between

Code: Select all

[01:11:16] Verifying core Core_82.fah...
[01:11:16] Signature is VALID
[01:11:16] 
[01:11:16] Trying to unzip core FahCore_82.exe
[01:11:16] - Couldn't open file FahCore_82.exe 
[01:11:16] + Error: Could not extract core

Or

Code: Select all

[01:14:03] Verifying core Core_82.fah...
[01:14:03] Signature is _NOT_ valid on given file.
[01:14:03] Failed to verify core
[01:14:03] + Error: Could not extract core

Or

Code: Select all

[01:12:19] Verifying core Core_82.fah...
[01:12:19] Bad file format for downloaded core bundle.
[01:12:19] Failed to verify core
[01:12:19] + Error: Could not extract core

before trying to download again.

Where did I mess it up?

You probably didn't damage anything by editing the client file, but it's not recommended. To start the client you are apparently already entering
./FAH504-Linux.exe

To start it and go through the configuration process, you can use either
./FAH504-Linux.exe -configonly (which stops after updating the configuration) or
./FAH504-Linux.exe -config (which proceeds to start the current WU or download a new assignment)

The other errors are generally an indication of an unreliable connection to the internet.

Sham - the other thing to check in Ubuntu is that you've installed the ia32-libs from the Synaptic Package Manager
