How to start GUI ?

[glaks]

I'm using Fedora 12 and installed phoronix using yum install.

# rpm -qa | grep phoronix-test-suite
phoronix-test-suite-1.8.1-2.fc12.noarch

Now while trying to start gui as "phoronix-test-suite gui" from command line
I get following

# phoronix-test-suite gui

That version of the phoronix-test-suite is very out dated. If you do want to keep using it however, and use the gui, you need to have the php-gtk module which isn't supported very well. If you search the forums, you should find a link to it.

I recommend installing the phoronix-test-suite 3.0 from phoronix-test-suite.com and using it with openbenchmarking.org There is no gui for it yet though.

[Michael]

PTS 1.8 is horribly outdated and is no longer officially supported. It makes me cringe everytime I still see it in Fedora's repositories. You want to upgrade to PTS 3.0. It doesn't have the GTK2 GUI but it's easy to use by default anyways especially with OpenBenchmarking.org.

[glaks]

thanks for the prompt reply. I downloaded 3.0 version and installed it under /opt/phoronix using command "install.sh /opt/phoronix" . Now while trying to run the command "phoronix-test-suite" it throws following error - any thoughts on what went wrong ?

I think I had some errors similar to that before. I can't remember exactly what I did. I think I removed the .phoronix-test-suite folder I had, or renamed it to .phoronix-test-suite2 so that I could move my results and download-cache over. I also install phoronix-test-suite as root, sudo ./install.sh then run the benchmark as a normal user, not root. I've also never tried installing to a different directory than the default, so I don't know if that would have anything to do with it.

Thanks dude. I removed older directory from /root/.phoronix-test-suite and installed it again it works now
