Dear all,

I've recently added 2 now computers to my crunshing park.
Those 2 are unfortunately reporting only "validate error" so far.
Since I never had such issue with my current main machine I wonder what I've missed.

1) Failing
CentaurHauls VIA Nano processor U2250 (1.6GHz Capable) [Family 6 Model 15 Stepping 3] (1 processors, no GPU) on Ubuntu server 10.04 LTS
http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/results.php?hostid=433420

2) Failing
GenuineIntel Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9400 @ 2.66GHz [Family 6 Model 23 Stepping 10] (2 processors, no GPU) on Debian Linux Stable
http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/results.php?hostid=433418

3) No problems
GenuineIntel Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz [Family 6 Model 42 Stepping 7] (8 processors, ATI GPU) on Windows 7 x64
http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/results.php?hostid=323537

I've searched for log file or similar things but did not find any so far as well.

Any hint on what I could investigate?

Many thanks

You're using the anonymous platform with a really ancient version which won't work anymore. You can either just not use app_info and get the current version, or you have to update what you're using manually.

I though I was doing the good way keeping the Milkyway clients coming with respectively Debian and Ubuntu but therefore was wrong.
Nice for spoting that!

Just few notes for crunchers who may face similar issues.

On either Ubuntu/Debian, just install boinc-client package, *don't* install boinc-app-milkyway as it bundles the old non-working Milkyway app.

Once boinc-client installed, just attach your computer to the project using the boinccmd command line:

boinccmd --project_attach http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/ auth

Where auth is your "Weak account key" as referenced on http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/home.php

Happy crunshing.
