Aaaaaaah now I get it. Does that mean Linux "kind of keeps the old driver in memory" so current applications don't crash - but then when my F@H tried fetching new GPU-folds/WUs it couldn't start the process again?

Ah yeah I know. But there was little information when searching the error-codes so I thought I pop it in here as informational. Never had issues on windows though.

A tip for you - Get a set of question with some diversity and a few unique ones and contact famous streamers etc on twitch/twitter. They might even be up for a short skype interview or similiar. Good luck mate!

Some people on Ubuntu are currently experiencing issues after "sudo upgrade". This is due to Nvidia drivers being changed and there the machine needs to be rebooted for F@H to detect proper GPU-lettering. I had this yesterday for a brief moment - Rest in pieces my 68 days uptime

Soon up at 10 million points - however they are counted. Working great on both Windows and Ubuntu based distros. Need to fix my overclocking on my CPU though as it hits 100 C

My suggestion is you actually take a few minutes and google each of your issue and try to find a solution, if this sounds hard or boring - DO NOT install Linux thinking it will be better than windows. I run both operating systems as gaming machines, and linux as all my server/NAS stuff - Windows is not bad, it's just too much of what people don't want today. It's a product that is it. Back to the point, all your issues seem to be VM related - get yourself a USB of 16gb or so and install an Ubuntu based ISO on it and boot from it. That should give a slightly better representation. I can not stress enough how important it is to change how you look at problems if you want to use Linux as a performance boost - Quoting you; "Oh Im not... I see a guest option thingie but don't understand it at all or how to do it properly." -> What you need to do here is to understand the option. You can't scrub it aside in Linux and assume the default is correct for you. That's where Linux shines, giving you the ability the change everything. This also lets one ruin their own performance for example, or get more performance out of the same hardware.

Running Linux Mint 19 on my old Laptop from 2012, 4gb ram and a slow i5-quad core I can't remember. Anything with less than 8 GB of ram I would say Lubuntu, Mint or Ubuntu based. Choose a DE more carefully than distro.

If you run sudo iwlist wlan0 scan What output do you get?

Mine never wanted to do this for me - Might be an old mint install I have or something. I am very new to linux and the method I posted worked for me. Altough I will copy your config file, it looks amazingly ordered!

I also managed to install on linux. My recommendation if you are on ubuntu/mint is to download the packages from alternative downloads, google "alternative folding@home downloads". If you get an error when choosing not to run on startup, run: sudo update-rc.d FAHClient defaults The command to start FAHClient is: FAHClient --user=USERNAME --team=223518 --passkey=PASSKEY --gpu=true --smp=true Still having problems getting them all remote controlled by my main pc.

Just signed up to both Forums and Folding just for this. Riley is just too attractive in techlinked! Going to get this working on my Ubuntu machines as well hopefully. Glad to be part of something
