Dear Bruce & FreeSurfers,
 
I ran freesurfer (86x64_64 centos version 5.1.0) on my new linux box (Ubuntu 11.10 64 bit, NVIDIA GEforce GTX 580, no CUDA for now) using recon-all -all; it went on for 8 hours, I got the message (Recon complete without errors) in the log.txt file in my subject directory. However, when trying to use mri_convert or tkmedit to see the lh.dpial.ribbon.mgz, there was an error (could not open file). I searched for the file in all the /mri folder and the whole file system on my box, could not find it. I found lh.ribbon.mgz, rh.ribbon.mgz, and ribbon.mgz, but not the dpial.ribbon.mgz file or any other ?.ribbon.mgz variety.
I appreciate your suggestions.
 
Octavian.
