LHC@home

If you want to try Ubuntu you can use the instructions I gave to my team. It's worked for me on several 18.04 installs. The instructions given at LHC forums are way overly complicated for no reason when CVFMS can be installed from a repository. It's also much quicker than compiling it.

This was virtually painless. I only had one stumbling block as a recent Linux refuge, recently slipped into Mint. When I got to this part:

Setup file
Code:

sudo mkdir -p /scratch/cvmfs

sudo gedit /etc/cvmfs/default.local

I did not have Gedit installed, or know what it was. It took me about 15 mins to figure out why I kept getting an "invalid command". Once I got Gedit, the rest went smooth.
