How to install the new optimised clients for Linux?
(Message 9137)
Posted 25 Jan 2009 by Lazarus-uk Post: I am also a Linux noob, but I found that looking through these pages helped me to get things set up and working I don't know what flavour of Linux you have, but you should find something on one of these: Installing BOINC on Linux Installing BOINC on Ubuntu Gentoo, Fedora and Debian shortcuts here You need to extract the optimized clients to the folder /BOINC/projects/milkyway HTH |

problem with checkpoints?
(Message 8901)
Posted 23 Jan 2009 by Lazarus-uk Post: I'll take a look into this. Those 2 WUs I reported as failures, earlier in this thread, were started from checkpoints after a reboot of the pc. Since then I've had no more failures from checkpoints, whether after rebooting or not. The problem seems to have disappeared, for me at least. Or, maybe I've just been lucky in restarting from a place where the values don't affect the result too much. |

Posted 21 Jan 2009 by Lazarus-uk Post: I also have a couple tasks that have just failed to validate after restarting from checkpoints 63306531 63306530 I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 and speedimic's SSE4.1 Linux 64-bit App. Other WUs, that run straight through without checkpoints, are validating. |

Posted 14 Jul 2008 by Lazarus-uk Post: You may find that a lot of people are unable to meet the deadline for these new WUs unless you increase it somewhat. It just gave me 20 WU's with a deadline of 5 days. Now I'm running a Q9450 @ 3.4GHz (WU currently @ 51mins and 10%. So even at 3 or 4 hrs per WU that's 60 - 80 hours of work to be done in 5 days, plus other work that I'm already committed to. I know I can finish them on time but, I don't think many others will be so lucky. Either increase the deadline or shorten the WUs a touch. Edit: It also means, as soon as the first WUs are finished, I won't be able to get new work from other projects for a few days, but I can live with that. |

Posted 19 Jun 2008 by Lazarus-uk Post: I know it sucks, but keep in mind we're still alpha here (not even beta). I really think this time around we've gotten all our cleaning-up processes running right so the validator/file uploader wont keep backing up on you guys. It's probably painful since we're still learning about the BOINC server here. We really are trying to get things running smoothly over here so you all wont have this kind of problems. Thanks for the updates Travis. Please, bear in mind that 'some' people here are very appreciative of your efforts and intend to stay with this project whatever. Also bear in mind that there are others who like nothing better than to make snide remarks whatever you try and do. It's a shamme that those same people cannot find it in themselves to congratulate when things go well. Still that's message boards for you. |

Problem with new W/Us

Posted 27 May 2008 by Lazarus-uk Post: the new w/u's with task names starting with gs_373082 etc will not run on my up to date Ubuntu Hardy box. They just sit at 0% and don't move?? Working on all other boxes with Hardy that hasn't been updated. Anyone else have this problem?? I'm also having lots of compute errors. Running BOINC 5.10.45 on Win XP Pro (SP3). 27/05/2008 23:11:16|Milkyway@home|Output file gs_3737082_1211945903_968750_0_0 for task gs_3737082_1211945903_968750_0 absent |
