I'm trying to install FahMon into Ubuntu and the install is complaining about all kinds of missing libraries. I'm a new Linux user and I'm feeling my way around how to search the repos, but I'm not good at it yet.
Could you give me the exact names of the libraries, packages etc that I will need> I know that I need wxwidgets, but there are so many different libraries I don't know which one to install.
If you're using ubuntu gutsy (7.10), then try the prepackaged installer, as it should pull down the dependencies for you.
Otherwise, this command will install the bits-and-pieces you need to compile FahMon:
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install libwxgtk2.8-dev wx-common g++
If you're using ubuntu 7.04 or earlier, they don't have wxWidgets 2.8 in their repo, so replace 2.8 with 2.6 in the command above. This will work for FahMon 2.3.1, but when FahMon 2.3.2 is released it will depend on wxWidgets 2.8 (2.6 will not work).

OK, thanks.
I was able to find the wxwidgets repo for 2.8 and added it to the list; I'm running UB 7.04 but the install went fine after that.
Next question. As I said I'm new to Linux but not new to FahMon; I have it running on 40 windows machines. Now the file server is this Linux machine; that's where FahMon is installed, and I can't find how to add clients on the network. For instance, the Linux file browser on the server says that a client is at smb://ep-1/smp. When I right-click/add, the location browser only shows local drives; I can't find out how to see the directory in FahMon.
I'm sure it's easy, but I'm stumped. Mind helping?
EDIT:
BTW, drag and drop doesn't work either from network directories. From local it's OK.

This is to do with a fundamental difference between the way Windows and *nix handle filesystems.
In Windows there are multiple filesystem roots (c:\, d:\, //machine-name/), in Linux there is only one root, "/" and everything must be "mounted" under that single root. This can be confusing for those used to the Windows system of doing it.
The smb:// address is what's known as a kioslave, its basically a wrapper that your filemanager uses to access a windows share without you having to mount it first. FahMon doesn't know how to use this kioslave (I'm hoping to add it to a future version if possible) and so requires you to access the share the conventional way.
Luckily this is fairly easy to do on the fly (there are ways to make this more permanent but I'll let you find that out
):
First you need to create a mount point on the filesystem for each share, this is just a new folder into which your share will be mounted.
Code: Select all
sudo mkdir -p /mnt/lan_shares/ep-1
Then you need to mount the remote shares into the mount points (this shouldn't require you to install any more packages, but I haven't tried this from ubuntu recently):
Code: Select all
mount.cifs3 //ep-1/smp /mnt/lan_shares/ep-1
Then, you can browse to the new folder in your filemanager and drag-and-drop it into FahMon.

Hi, sorry if the question was already asked here, though I haven't noticed it here, but maybe I am getting blind
I had fahmon 2.3.0, and I got project 3907, which is listed in psummary page, and is dgromacsB with 50 frames. And fahmon doesnot recognize this WU, everything is N/A except my username and team. I downloaded zip file with fahmon 2.3.1, and copied alll the ziped files in my fahmon dir, but nothing changes. I download WU info updates from psummary page, but nothing happens. I even tried changing frame number to 100.
As far as I remember DgromacsB support was introduced several versions ago. And I had some other DgromacsB wus which were recognized properly. so what is the problem?
cheers

That's odd because it works for other people:

Neither of those WUs is on psummary at the moment which probably explains why FahMon doesn't recognise them.
Try this:

am I going crazy or delusional?
yesterday when I was writing my 1st post about this 'problem' I double checked it the psummary page. and there was p3907. Should have gone to specsavers
and now it IS gone.
anyway, thanks for the link, I will try in a minute
first, specsavers, and laundry

thanks, it worked
so something was wrong with stanford psummary page, because I clearly remember 3907 being there
anyways thank you very much.
dgromacsB love my x2 3.1ghz, I get 1436ppd
though I do hope that it is not a 50 frame thing

As I understand it, psummary lists ACTIVE WUs- they have to actually have them on the server waiting to be assigned. They must have completed the batch they had, and it won't show up again until they post the next batch to run.
What I've seen with the 50 frame WUs is that FahMon shows half the actual time to finish and double the PPD. uncle_fungus was working on addressing that.

yeah, I think he fixed that one

ok I got dgromacs and look how fahmon reacts to it:
notice the ETA, and how many % done in main window, and in fahlog.txt.
my cpu does one frame in 24 min something for this WU.
P.S. now it is 42% in main window, and 92% in fahlog.txt, so I guess it is 50frame bug?

Yes, its a bug that is being fixed as we speak.

Is it really a bug or is it just a problem with that the WU actually has 100 frames & not really 50.
All the 3906 & 3907 I have worked have 100 frames & not 50, so I think if they actually put 100 frames in the stats page instead of 50 it would show correct time & the right PPD in Fahmon. Looks like a simple mistake of not putting the correct amount of frames on the stats page.
Maybe I'm missing something here? By the way I didn't read all 5 pages, just the first & last page of this thread.
