I believe that's where you log in. If I remember correctly, mine did the same thing. All I did was hit enter, then it would show the "ocn login" prompt, and go from there.

yep yep.

And once it's all set up, you actually don't have to login at all. It'll just run the folding client.

If nothing happens with just <ENTER>, hit <CTRL> + <A> + <D> in the linux environment. This should unlock it if it's busy with something.

i keep getting a syntax error. i have tried this unbuntu and another linked in another guide and both give the same msg.


any1 any ideas?

Server works fine for me. You just have to hit F8 when you boot Vista, and disable the 'Digital signing of drivers' or whatever it's called. Of course, you'll have to do that on every reboot (thus, just about once a week )

And possibly you get this error since the vircual machine isn't in the virtual machines folder? I do think vmware does need that file to be in that specific folder.

Player works just fine and Vmware to my knowledge does not need the virtual machine in it's folder, I run my ubuntu 1.4 out of my downloads folder.

Marsey, are you sure you have a good extraction of ubuntu? try extracting it in a folder of it's own on your local drive.
