Post by CycloneRanger »

Anyone ventured into any of the VBox projects? Any potential winners in that small crowd of projects?

I signed up to this one http://www.dunadd.co.uk/seti/forum/view ... 119&t=1978, but so far haven't had a single unit :( Sorry, not very helpful.

Turns out I'm an idiot and didn't have VT-x enabled in bios, though I would swear it was :oops: Waiting for a climate unit ( did get 1 but it errored after a couple of days ), currently got a RNA unit running on windoze and on Linux but they both appear to be huge if the time remaining is to be believed.

As an update , the RNA units are huge, they take weeks to complete. Seem stable but I am a long way away from completing one.
I finally got a unit from Climate@home, ran for just over 1 hour, 50 credits.

Managed to get a RNA unit completed under Linux, now just need a wingman. Lost one under windows, but did get credit for a partial completion.
Climate@home runs under windows no problems so far..... Haven't managed to get a single one to run under Linux yet though. Seems the Linux version has 'issues'
