I have Virtual Box installed on my PC under Win 10.
Please tell me how to install and run the tasks awailable only for Linux from Cpdn.
Many Thanks

Install Linux in the VM.
Then install a Linux version of BOINC.

Thanks,
there are so many versions of Linux. Wich one is best to install?

Ubuntu is what the applications are built on and therefore may be the easiest to get going.

Instructions for getting the cpdn 32bit applications working in 64bit Ubuntu are posted in a sticky at the top of this forum. One can get around that potential issue by installing the 32bit version of Ubuntu.

Having seen the traffic about running CPDN in a Linux-Ububtu VM under Windows, I thought I would give it a go.

I have two questions to ask peers more experienced than me.
1) About the business of downloading 32 bit libraries when running on a 64 bit machine: can I assume that as I downloaded the 32 bit version of Ubuntu into my VM on my 64 bit Windows machine, I can ignore all those issues?
And 2) Under Windows, I am used to running CPDN under Advanced view to give a bit more insight and control over what's going on. In CPDN under the Ubuntu VM, I cannot find a way to switch from Simple view to Advanced view. Am I missing something somewhere?

Thanks.

If you move the mouse up in the top a toolbar should appear. Took me a long time to figure out.

Hello Lockleys

... as I downloaded the 32 bit version of Ubuntu
...
I can ignore all those issues?

Yes, they only apply to 32 bit BOINC running on 64 bit Linux.

An install of 32 bit Linux on an old machine is how I got hold of the 32 bit libs for my 64 bit Linux machines.
