so what is the optimal amount of ram i should be letting it use ?

edit: ive read i should be letting it use 800mb for the os and the client to run properly on foldingforums

would that be right ?

I usually set it at 512mb. I haven't noticed any benefit to adding more RAM.

[14:17:58] Trying to send all finished work units
[14:17:58] + No unsent completed units remaining.
[14:17:58] - Autosend completed

it did exact same thing last night. i restarted FaH client this morning.
restarting Ubuntu as we speak

EDIT:
nope, goes right back into "Entering M.D."

Sounds like a networking issue.
Try looking at these threads.

EDIT: There was a power outage at stanford so that could have been part of the issue

I have never had this problem before. Sounds like a hard drive issue.

Ok, i got the VMware/Ubuntu SMP client up and running (only took about 90min to figure it out) Im a noob at this.
I cant figure out how to get the FahMon to work. I have it installed on my computer. But where do i find the shared folder?
I guess i dont understand this part

3. Now in Windows navigate to your network and you should see your VMWare install named Ubuntu. Open it and type your username and password you just set up.

re-downloaded it, and got it to work.

but FaHMon don't always identify the VMware client, when it doesn't, i have to login to \\ubuntu.

is there anyway to set up a guest account, so there is no need to login?

well i shut my computer down for a bit to do some internal work. Now i cant get Fahmon to pick up my work in Ubuntu. I get this error message:

Are you running 64-bit VMware?
Did you select the 64-bit version of Linux in the virtual machine settings?
Did you install a 64-bit Linux?
Do you have virtualization enabled in your BIOS?

I redownloaded the server app and it says for 64 bit and 32 bit.. so idk if i have to change a setting or something. there is nothing in the installation about which to chose.. the linux is 64 bit yes... and i will reboot and see ifi have virtualization enabled.

EDIT: mobo was the problem thanks. +REP

Does typing that command in terminal always get the latest version ?
