Re: [scipion-users] installation of the Scipion: OS selection

[Wolfgang L. <w.l...@uk...>]

hi,

i just compiled and installed it for small tests, since my laptop is too 
weak to run huge analysis.

you need the openjdk-7-jdk package instead of 8. the rest runs as on the 
install page without any further problems.

this is not a full ubuntu, since it lacks the linux kernel. its a 
bash/ubuntu subsystem.
so you cannot use the gpu, because you cannot load the nvidia kernel module.
but most packages work there anyway and you can use the normal ubuntu 
repository.
cryosparc is not working due the lack of gpu support in the subsystem.

you cannot start a whole gnome/kde session (they need dbus which does 
not exist), but you can start individual gnome/kde programs with the 
external x-server on windows.

but if you use e.g. chimerax on windows directly (gpu support) and 
calculate on the ubuntu subsystem with linux programs, its fine to use. 
the ubuntu subsystem can access all local files from windows 10 (/mnt/c 
etc.).
from windows you can call most ubuntu programs via bash.exe -c scriptname.

nfs mounts of remote fileservers is not supported, so you would need 
your data on a usb3 drive (e.g. /mnt/d).

cheers,
wolfgang
