Post:
I removed my milkyway project and tried to login as existing user, but i could not remember my password.
So i entered my email address in the dialog for "Forgot your password", but it will not take my email address,
it always says 
EMAIL failed Can't send email to  ...<my email>

yeh, i double checked the spelling as it's a globally common error
I wish the error message said why it can't send me email
Also, i am using the 
https://milkyway-new.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/

project address
I also, just for grins, tried logging in as anew user but then it says my email is already in use.
TIA

bpinc 7.24.1 x64
I deleted the milkyway project and changed the url to add -new, i also did an update-ca-certificates
but I still can not add the project. in each case i shutdown boinc and restarted it - nothing fixed the issue for me
Someone mentioned adding 2 certs but, where do they go and what name do i give them?
Is it going to fix this?

Yep, libOpenCL.so (opencl client driver bindings) was missing, installing it fixed things on both systems - thanks
Apparently some update removed the lib, why? i don't know, but now its fixed

Linux x86_64
For a couple of weeks now I have two pc's that cant get any GPU tasks, 3 other pc's get them just fine.
Here is the startup code, you can see it's requesting NVIDIA tasks but it never gets any.
Before a couple of weeks ago both pc's were executing NVIDIA tasks just fine.

7) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : boic sees 2 GPU's but only uses 1 (Message 74381)
Posted 8 Oct 2022 by Profile Cat22
Post:
Well, I installed boinc version 7.18.1 and now it only sees 1 GPU.
Is there some conflict between a RTX 3070 and an RTX 2060 that is causing this??
Do i need to build my own copy from source?
I did try building from source but cant get it to stop complaining there are no widgets (I'm on Linux)
and I sure wish i knew what widgets it lacked.
Seems like configure should tell us what is missing specifically not just "oh you dont have any widgets"
What widgets? what version?
so I'm pretty well busted on building from source
I have 2 other systems that are running dual GPU's and they work fine
1 has an RTX 2060 and a GTX 1660 ti and he other system is running 2 RTX 1660 ti's
Neither one has a problem with that config.
I sure would appreciate some guidance.
TIA

I am no xml expert, but I think that gets you 2 instances running on one GPU, but does not address the second GPU at all.

So, how should it be done?

I have plenty of GPU tasks so that shouldn't be the issue
I tried swapping slots on the motherboard and it just does the same thing but whatever is in the first slot is what gets used, the GPU in the next slot is ignored even tho boinc sees it n startup.
What am I missing?

Well, I gave up and did a 'project reset' and lo and behold the nvidia apps are running now :-) yaaaa

Hi,
thanks for the info. I checked and the last nvidia task was sent in on June 1, all the others ware waiting.
I have plenty of tasks, some nvidia some cpu. But why is boinc ignoring the nvidia tasks?
All my nvidia tasks are in state "waiting to run" I have 1 nbody simulation 1.76 task running (12 cpu's)
and thats it, in fact as i write this it finished and started another similar nbody task.

I assume you have your data storage disk (the one you wish to use) mounted somewhere on your primary disk, right?
Since you're in linux cant you just link to the desired location?
e.g
if boinc is in /home/xray_6/boinc
then
 ln -s <where you want your data dir> /home/xray_6/boinc/projects

openSuse Linux (Tumbleweed) x86_64, nvidia driver 440.59

This was going along fine but at least a day ago all the nvidia tasks went to "waiting to run" status and have not run since. the activitiy menu options are all set to "Always" and nothing is suspended, there is no appinfo.xml no app_confing.xml cc_config.xml etc - just raw MW and BOINC. computing preferences allow for 1 cpu per GPU (I have 2 nividia cards) so that should be ok. The nvidia driver hasnt changed. I just double checked I am still part of the video group so thats not it.
How can i determine what is preventing the GPU from running?
Also, as an aside, how does one view the specific computer on the website? I cant seem to sort by computer id so searching for a particular computer in my set of computers is like searching for a needle in a haystack

hi,
The whole system is dedicated to boinc 24/7/365 so for the i9-99000k the answer is 16 cpu threads
I only want to commit whatever number of cpu threads are required buy each GPU application.
My goal is to run 2 concurrent GPU tasks - 1 task per card (which it seems to be doing now that i set the global cpu % down to 90%)
and have the remainder cpu resources crunching CPU tasks.
So if each nvidia app actually requires a full cpu thread to keep it fed, then the remaining 14 threads should be crunching CPU tasks
What bothers me is that by using the Global "Use at most xx CPU percentage" option I am affecting other projects where if i had a decent app_info.xml
or app_config.xml (whatever i need) it would only apply to Mikyway and leave the other (presently idle) projects alone. I would only be running a single project
not more than that concurrently. e.g I switched to MW only because SETI isnt handing out work while they manage an overwhelming amount of returned results.
TIA

Hi again,
I just set both systems to a percentage of CPU so that i would have 2 cores free and after awhile it did start using both GPU's finally.
When I was running SETI we did this via an app info (see below). The SETI app_info.xml allocated however much of a cpu you wanted (.45 in this case) to tend to a single GPU's needs. So far I have not found a linux based working app_info.xml for Milkyway that handles all the apps:

Hi Keith,
I want to run 1 task per GPU. right now I am running 1 task on 1 GPU and nothing on the 2nd GPU

How do i set the number of cpu's that boinc will use as you mentioned? I want to try cutting it back and see if that gets both cards in use. I think we can tell right away if this is the issue if i set boinc to use say only 8 threads out of thee 16 (temporarily as an experiment), that leaves 4 threads per GPU so if this is the issue I should see both GPU's in use right away.
Sound right?

so we are set there.
