How to run Glide faster on a desktop

7/31/2012

We recently realized that using the "-LOCAL" flag in the /opt/schrodinger/glide command, the program will write to the current working directory resulting in a speed up of ~20%.

The command you should use is:

/opt/schrodinger/glide -LOCAL file.in

Bug in Ubuntu 11.10 after restart from updates: "Waiting for network configuration"

7/10/2012

We recently updated one of our Desktops and when we restarted in, Ubuntu 11.10 seemed to load initially, but then we got a message "Waiting for network configuration" and 60 seconds later the screen turned black. We were able to login in the terminal, but the computer was unable to find a network.

This Ubuntu 11.10 bug and solution is described in:
http://uksysadmin.wordpress.com/2011/10/14/upgrade-to-ubuntu-11-10-problem-waiting-for-network-configuration-then-black-screen-solution/

Shortly the solution:

Hit Ctrl+Alt+F1 at the blank screen to get you to a non-X terminal (tty1)
Login in with your username and password
Change to root with: sudo -i and enter your password
mkdir -p /run /run/lock
rm -rf /var/run /var/lock
ln -s /run /var
ln -s /run/lock /var
reboot

You should have 11.10 back again.
