R: [fluka-discuss]: difficulty with FLUPIX installation

Dear Jean-Pierre,
In order to share the information with the other users it is better that you
send the emails to the Fluka-discuss and not directly to me.
The configuration is very easy and you don’t need to be familiar with IDE.
I attach some screenshots of the configuration of my FLUPIX machine.
Anyway my suggestion, since you are a beginner, is to quickly learn the
FLUKA basis and then pass to a standalone installation on a Linux partition.
In this way you can use the full CPU power of your pc.
E.g. I use FLUPIX only when I’m under windows and I want to quickly check
some inputs without reboot my pc on my Linux partition but for the “serious”
things I want to use the full power of my pc.
 
Hope that this can help you.
 
Cheers,
 
Angelo

Dear Angelo,
Many thanks for your message. I am not very fluent with IDE’s,… I will be at
CERN next Wed morning. Would you by chance be there and available for a
short moment?
Best regards,
 
Jean-Pierre

Dear Jean-Pierre,
it is not necessary to burn the .iso file to run flupix under the
VirtualBox.
Here some basic settings that can help you to start:
 
- Create a virtual machine based on Linux 2.6
- Set Flupix.vdi as IDE Primary Master (HDD)
- Set Swap.vdi as IDE Primary Slave (HDD)
- Set Flupix-XXX.iso as IDE Secondary Master (CD/DVD)
- N° of CPU, memory, etc up to you (depending on your PC specs)
 
Cheers,
 
Angelo

Dear all,
 
I am a FLUKA beginner, and did not understand some possible subtleties in
FLUPIX installation:
- I did install successfully the VirtualBox (two steps: the
extension pack turns out to be required if the USB controller is enabled)
- I downloaded flupix…iso, that wanted to burn a DVD, done. I did
not know too much what to do with flupix-vdi.zip, that I loaded on the DVD
as well (it comes in virtual disk image)
- Now the problem: under point 4 of the Flupix installation manual “CD/DVD
rom”, I could not recognize the elements corresponding to the instructions
of 2008,
                CD/DVD-ROM
                [x] Mount CD/DVD Drive
                (o) ISO Image File
                    Click on the Folder Icon
                    Click on Add
                    Find the flupix-XXX.iso
                    Click Select
   No folder icon, no _at_ add_at_, no flupix-XXX.iso on the DVD, rather folders
isolinux and LIveOS, + flupix and swap in .vdi
- When I start the VM, it halts with could not read the boot
medium, which, I presume, is related to the former point.
 
Any help much welcome.
 
Jean-Pierre
