Welcome to Team Icrontic (http://www.icronticforums.com/showthread.php?t=6198)
Read through the tutorial and I've made it self explanitory. It will instruct you onsetting up the whole thing. If you have any questions, you can ask them in the Distributed Computing (http://www.icronticforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=28) forum. Glad to see your going to fold for our team naginaoe.
Welcome.

[yagga]

when it says type in user name, type in "yagga" -very important!

[Hawk]

Hey! NOT! You put your own name in naginaoe. Shame on you Yagga. Don't let anyone talk you into folding under their name. You'll see your own progress points under your name after you get up and folding. We'll show you how to check your points and progress.

[versello]

Lol, yeah, Yagga should be ashamed. :fu:

[yagga]

what did I do? Why are you people being so mean to me?

[Zuntar]

naginaoe is a female.;)

[versello]

Maybe she's too busy folding?

[naginaoe]

sorry guys iver tryed to get on alot but i havent had the time. im really sorry.

[naginaoe]

everything bad happens at once ya know

[naginaoe]

wow that was easy! i thought it was going to be so complicated! I'm not verry good at computer stuff yet. but im getting better!

[Zuntar]

GOOD, glad you didn't have any problems! ;)

[naginaoe]

nope! im not as stupid as i seem!!! lol (no comments please)

[Hawk]

naginaoe, What Name & Team are you folding under? I don't see you on our team list.

[yagga]

Yes! Sorry, but we don't offer help to start folding unless you fold for our team! ;)

[GnomeWizardd]

nope! im not as stupid as i seem!!! lol (no comments please)


ah shucks... /me kicks ground

[Hawk]

naginaoe, We still don't know what Name & Team you are folding under? I don't see you on our team list. I'm wondering, you should have turned in 1 or 2 work units by now. And you should be showing up on the team.

[naginaoe]

i dont know i just started folding. it didnt ask me to sign on to a team......um....yeah so explain it plz...

[yagga]

i dont know i just started folding. it didnt ask me to sign on to a team......um....yeah so explain it plz...

You have the text client?
You probably are folding for no team.

[Hawk]

i dont know i just started folding. it didnt ask me to sign on to a team......um....yeah so explain it plz...
Which version did you install---?
#1 Graphical Client Setup:
#2 The "No-nonsense" text-only console Setup.
Need to know that before I can explain it.

[naginaoe]

uh..... i clicked the first one on that site you linked to...Stanford University Folding@home download page the 5.03 thats ablout all i had to do.... did i do something wrong?

[naginaoe]

---also has anyone ever found a cure by folding?

[Hawk]

OK, Did you install the program? Or, Just download it? And, As far as cures, I'm not sure. But, I know they are making progress tracking how different diseases work. You can check the Stanford site and they will have more info on whether cures have been produced yet.

[Hawk]

Here's a page at Stanford that will explain more to you on what folding is and how it is being used... It's quite interesting .... Folding@Home Educational Project (http://www.stanford.edu/group/pandegroup/folding/education/diseases.html)

Yagga, Don't tell her that! She's new to computers and needs to have the graphical version which she can check easily! Not to mention configure easily.(Then get the one I showed above.) Besides which you didn't show her anything above! You need to stop confusing this thread dude. Everytime I try to give the girl help you keep jumping in and changing what I tell her. Gnome is the folding MOD form now on let him handle it. I'm out of it.

[yagga]

Oops, I guess I was get mixed up or something. I'll stop.

[naginaoe]

i thought i installed it but it never asked me for a team # it said download then i went threw the setup screen.. all i really had to do was type in my user name.

[Hawk]

Ok, yagga, Your officially a distrib. computing moderator now. Help the young lady out. Here's your first official task bud! Welcome to the team.

[yagga]

Ok naginaoe when you installed the program just about at the end of installing it it asked you your name correct? It then should have asked you to start the program up. This is where it would show you a window to type in your team number, atleast if you said yes.

So, do you have the folding atom icon down by the clock on the bottom right? If you do right click the icon, then click on "configure..." and then you get the window that lets you type in your team number. Just type in 33693 and click ok. If the team number says 0 when you first see it you are not folding for the team, but if it is set to 33693 then there is some other issue.

[yagga]

Naginaoe, I checked your name on the stats site HERE, (http://vspx27.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=userstats) and my thoughts were correct, you are folding for no team at all. You did finish a 155 point work unit, so you are chugging along. You just need to change the team number from 0 to 33693 like my above post shows.

[naginaoe]

ok did i fix it it says im folding for team 33693... is there anything else i need to do?

deisgnate a user name, and set cpu useage to 100% !!!

[naginaoe]

deisgnate a user name, and set cpu useage to 100% !!!

didnt i already designate my user name? and how do i put the cpu useage to 100%?

[naginaoe]

ok i got the cpu usage at 100%...

[yagga]

Yes naginaoe, I believe you are all set up and good to go. In a day or a few days we should be able to see your name on the team stats page.

[Zuntar]

agreed :fold: :fold: :fold:

[naginaoe]

i dont get how to read it

[LiLbRo]

i dont get how to read it
what part dont you get?

[naginaoe]

ha! all of it i like the stanford one...though it hadent updated im a little bit...im up to 2 WU's now and it still says one.

[yagga]

The Stanford site gives the updates quicker because they are the official site. The EOC site takes the stats from Stanford and adds to them. I personally check both sites. EOC typically can be about 3 hours delayed.

The EOC site should be self explanatory I would think. The site shows the graph of your team's current and future status (estimate of course) in regards to a few other close teams and then towards the bottom it shows the top producers of points for the team and some other stuff. If you click on an individual name down there, or search in the search field, you get a lot of extra stats for you or who you clicked, rather than the team overall. This site is good if you want to know point averages for you and the team, and also are competitive with other team members.

If you just completed another WU it should soon update, but if you are thinking 2 WUs since you started folding remember that first one got put into the "no team designation" section so that won't ever count for you on this team. Stanford never shifts points around after being registered in their systems, and points go with an individual per individual team. If I for example folded for Short-Media I would have to start fresh at 0 points, the points from Icrontic do not stick with my name everywhere.

aaahhh so that explains it! heh ok..thx

[naginaoe]

:yell1: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH my computer totally crashed!!!! we had to reinstall EVERYTHING!! we lost everything!!! so i have to go threw that hole thing again!!! hey do you guys know if my progress would be saved or will i have to start all over? :fold: :fu: i have my computer!!!

[yagga]

Did the drive get completely reformatted? It sounds like it. If you did that you will have lost any work in progress. It shouldn't be too bad if you get it back up and running shortly, because a day or so loss isn't too much in the long run.

If you had it on a second drive that wasn't reformatted there might be hope, but maybe not because you used the graphical version, and it may have installed something into the registry, I'm not sure, does anyone know?. *caugh Hawk *caugh

[naginaoe]

yeah we lost everything! we had to reinstall windows the internet and everything so i lost all my work. but i guess i only lost like 3 WUs

[yagga]

You probably only lost 1 wu. The only way you would have lost more is if there were errors sending in the completed wus and they were waiting for a later time to be sent in again, or you were running more than one at a time. I'm sure you were only running one. People usually only run more than one if they have more than one cpu in their system or they have Intel's Hyperthreading.

[naginaoe]

awsome! well i got it installed again and its running again..now that i knew what i was doing it was really quick to get it up and running again.

[yagga]

GREAT! :fold:
