Running United Devices on Linux.

OK, I have been searching and trying things for months now, none working, attempting to get United Devices to run with Wine.

I've scoured the web, and while I can find plenty of people with suggestions, none of them seem to work. Except for the couple guys who say.. oh yeah, works just fine for me. And have no supporting evidence or are willing to assist.

Officially... on the [H]... does anyone have this working? Wine? Cedega? CrossOver?

 
I haven't heard anything about it in a long time, but the last knew it didn't work. I've never tried it so I can't answer your question but from what I understand it doesn't work.

 
From what looking I've done, it appears that most of the attempts have been in early 2004. At least as of then, WINE apparently didn't support all of the appropriate API's that the windows client and agent require to run. Other than that, it appears that I've found about the same information you have, and that the odds of it running outside of something like VMWare or VPC are slim.

 
Anyone thought of contacting grid to see if there is a way they support to do it.. or plans for doing it? :D
 
Well in the readings I've done, there apparently is a linux client, however the owners of the code have refused to allow UD to license it for use in the Grid.org project. There is a fair amount of information on that in the grid.org forums.

I had the same findings. I don't understand. UD would boost thier numbers like crazy if they released a Linux client. I also heard that they have a Linux wrapper program done, its just thier supporters won't write a Linux port of the apps that run inside of the UD program.

I know they would gain at least another 4-5Ghz from me.

 
Sadly, UD is the only thing keeping me from a completely Microsoft free home.... I guess I just might have to swallow my points and move to F@H.

 
Yeah it is too bad but it's good for FAH I guess so it's not a really a loss.

Ooh! Ooh! Put money on me! just let me keep it...

It looks like the installer doesn't work, but I'd guess that the agent itself will work. I gotta run right now, but it at least pops up the "sign in as" screen.
 
I can't get it to accept my proxy server setting. I'll go around it later and give a status report.

Meanwhile, here's a screenshot of the registration screen I can't get by...

Well, it looks like it won't work. It finally started without the proxy, then downloaded a bunch of files to its directory and then stayed in "agent is initializing" mode. I left it going overnight, no progress. So I guess we wait on official support.

Or not. :(
 
I can tell there's a 33 second limit between posts just by watching K*. It's that bad.

Take a nap or something man, don't need to burn out ;)
 
I like how it says:
WINE & VMWare for the Linux family run the UD agent quite well.

Although.. apparently no-one has gotten it to run with Wine. Then the link to the application support from codeweavers gives a 404 error. :rolleyes:

Has anyone tried with VMWare? I know there has to be a ton of overhead... what processor power would still be left over for UD to run inside? And could you put VMWare on a lower priority so it still gives up cycles to more important things.... like... Frozen Bubble? :D

 
The latest vmware is actually pretty good about not sucking up CPU cycles. Haven't tried UD on it, though, and $199 is a bit steep just for a piece of software to fold on. You could just get another box and call it even.

At least there is a SMP version coming out, That's pretty cool...
