I have had the Linux beta version running on my Web Server for a while now and it sems to work just fine. The problem was that it only uses one core. I was loading Ubuntu 10.11 onto VirtualBox on my Vista laptop as I could not stop the browser application from stopping all the time. I ran into problems and saw that BoyHowdy, a user at theSkyNet, had posted that he got Unbutu running. After a few messages back and forth I finally got theSkyNet Linux application loaded and running on the laptop. BoyHowdy was very helpful in advising how to run multiple versions of the application. The process that was advised by BoyHowdy, and was sucessfull for me is as follows:
Remember to change the Account number and also change the directory to yours. Also only load as many applications as you need.
cd to your Desktop
mkdir nereus
cd nereus
mkdir nereus1
mkdir nereus2
mkdir nereus3
mkdir nereus4
mkdir nereus5
mkdir nereus6
wget http://ict.icrar.org/store/skynet/nereus_nix_installer_v1_4.sh
chmod +x nereus_nix_installer_v1_4.sh
./nereus_nix_installer_v1_4.sh -u 104282 -d /home/dingo/Desktop/nereus/nereus1
./nereus_nix_installer_v1_4.sh -u 104282 -d /home/dingo/Desktop/nereus/nereus2
./nereus_nix_installer_v1_4.sh -u 104282 -d /home/dingo/Desktop/nereus/nereus3
./nereus_nix_installer_v1_4.sh -u 104282 -d /home/dingo/Desktop/nereus/nereus4
./nereus_nix_installer_v1_4.sh -u 104282 -d /home/dingo/Desktop/nereus/nereus5
./nereus_nix_installer_v1_4.sh -u 104282 -d /home/dingo/Desktop/nereus/nereus6
sudo nano /etc/rc.local
enter your password and paste the following into the file after the comment but before any commands that might be there.
/home/dingo/Desktop/nereus/nereus1/nereus/bin/nereus_service.sh start
/home/dingo/Desktop/nereus/nereus2/nereus/bin/nereus_service.sh start
/home/dingo/Desktop/nereus/nereus3/nereus/bin/nereus_service.sh start
/home/dingo/Desktop/nereus/nereus4/nereus/bin/nereus_service.sh start
/home/dingo/Desktop/nereus/nereus5/nereus/bin/nereus_service.sh start
/home/dingo/Desktop/nereus/nereus6/nereus/bin/nereus_service.sh start
type control o and press return to save the file
type control x to exit nano
At this point you can either reboot to get the services running or you can start each individual service
sudo reboot
or manually type this on the command line
/home/dingo/Desktop/nereus/nereus1/nereus/bin/nereus_service.sh start
/home/dingo/Desktop/nereus/nereus2/nereus/bin/nereus_service.sh start
/home/dingo/Desktop/nereus/nereus3/nereus/bin/nereus_service.sh start
/home/dingo/Desktop/nereus/nereus4/nereus/bin/nereus_service.sh start
/home/dingo/Desktop/nereus/nereus5/nereus/bin/nereus_service.sh start
/home/dingo/Desktop/nereus/nereus6/nereus/bin/nereus_service.sh start
To disable any of the services from running, edit the rc.local file and put a hash in front of the command.
example
/home/dingo/Desktop/nereus/nereus1/nereus/bin/nereus_service.sh start
/home/dingo/Desktop/nereus/nereus2/nereus/bin/nereus_service.sh start
/home/dingo/Desktop/nereus/nereus3/nereus/bin/nereus_service.sh start
#/home/dingo/Desktop/nereus/nereus4/nereus/bin/nereus_service.sh start
#/home/dingo/Desktop/nereus/nereus5/nereus/bin/nereus_service.sh start
#/home/dingo/Desktop/nereus/nereus6/nereus/bin/nereus_service.sh start
Now service 4,5,and 6 will not run on bootup
a service can be stopped, started or restarted at any time
sudo /home/dingo/Desktop/nereus/nereus1/nereus/bin/nereus_service.sh stop
I hope you do not have any problems if you try this as I am not that much of a Linux guy but I will help as much as I can.
