What do you need to do to get work on this project? I joined yesterday but there was no work available? I have Windows PC's raring to go (I tried adding it to an Ubuntu but it doesn't let me) I have all priorities set to allow this project a good run on multiple computers? Clearly I am missing something? Any ideas?

I should add that it just says "... got 0 new tasks - No tasks sent"

No Windows application at the moment so you need Linux.
I don't know why you can't add to Ubuntu.
The work had run out but I now noticed that there are 40,000 work units available so you should be able to get some with Linux.

Thanks for the feedback Conan.

I'd forgotten that I'd given Zorin a try on that laptop which might explain it. Does anyone know if Gaia doesn't like Zorin? The other projects don't seem to mind so I assumed it was compatible.

This time I should add that I have now managed to add Gaia to the Zorin laptop.

I think a T2080 CPU has a 32bit instruction set. This project only runs on 64 bit at the moment.

That might well be it. I'll try a better machine - thanks.

Is it not possible to run a Linux distro on a windows machine any more? I'm sure I have had a Linux virtual machine running on a windows box in the past.

Why not? I'm using a linux vm to crunch this project (waiting for a Windows app)

Precisely. I will be doing the same. Just seemed people thought the lack of a Windows app was a roadblock.
