I did experiment with setting the <scrsave_debug> flag.

with scrsave_debug = 1 ( set by "BOINC Diagnostic Log Flags" and verified in cc_config.xml
and screensaver active - the bulk of the logs entries are like:

I tried turning the flag back off; looking at the logs;
turning the flag on and looking again..

The logs did not stop.
The number of messages between heartbeats increased and an error code started.

Hi Klaus,
was "No usable GPUs found" in the BOINC event log at start up?

I have a Radeon/ATI card, and use Debian and Ubuntu.
I get that message at boinc start up in the event log.

I work around the problem by restarting the boinc-client with a
sudo /etc/init.d/boinc-client restart

Perhaps, this will work for you...

Hi
I had the same problem.
I used the command line to attach..

first go to your wcg account on the web and get your External Authorization Code.
it is under settings -> profile

Then, get a terminal window and issue the command
boinccmd.exe     --project_attach    http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org    [your code]

Since the command line worked, I'm not sure why the GUI didn't...But this will get you started..

Good fortunes,

Greetings,

My stdoutscr.txt is inundated with screensaver log entries

I was using the stable build (7.4.27) - then tried the daily build to see if the problem was fixed.

It wasn't.

I'm now running windows Vista and BOINC version 7.4.36 (x64)
Only the default logging flags are set:
File_xfer
task
sched_ops

when I installed the daily build, I used windows to uninstall BOINC first

when I installed the daily build, I did not choose the install screensaver option.

I was puzzled when checked the Windows Vista screensaver setting -
and saw the BOINC screensaver had been enabled

Before, while I was on the 7.4.27. I was able to stop the logging by changing the screen saver to the Windows floating text - something other than the BOINC screensaver.
But after I installed the daily - 7.4.36 - the BOINC screensaver was
configured (though not selected during BOINC install)
and I get 2 GB of logging in a day or two - 3 to 5 events a second logged,
and the BOINC screensaver was re-enabled over my previous choice.

Is this a known bug? Or my fault?

-edit--
The main question is: How do I turn this logging off???
-- end edit --

Temporarily, I can stop the logging by configuring a different screensaver.

T H A N K Y O U !!!
Jay

PS
I wanted to add a sample of the logs - but I lost my paste buffer.
Now, I can't reproduce the problem.
I'll reboot and try to add an example in a posting edit.

Hi,

Are you trying to run a GPU WU?
Did the event log complain about not finding an OpenCL library??

Are you running Linux or windows?

You may need to make a symbolic link.

Post:
Greetings...

Not sure what is going on.
I wiped out Ubuntu Studio 14.04.01 LTS (was using boinc 7.2.43)
and did a fresh install of Ubuntu Studio 14.10.
I believe the default boinc for this version is 7.4.8.
I encountered the problem tehere and used the boinc PPA to install BOINC 7.4.23.
It also has the problem:

I use advanced view.
On the tasks page, if a select a task then select the suspend page,
the task status does not change to suspended until I re-click on the task.

If I click on the Projects Tab, nothing happens until I click again on projects.
But, if I do not click on any items on the page. the pages will chang on a single click on the tab.
If I do click/select an item on the projects or task pages, the first clcick is again lost.

?? Perhaps this is a wxwidgets problem with xfce in Ubuntu Studio??

Here is window environment/stuff...

I'm stumped. I don't know where to start - other than to log in with a different window manager.
I don't care for having all of the programs that get loaded with gnome -
That is the sole reason I chose Ubuntu studio - which uses xfce.
And there were no missing events in Ubunbtu Studio 14.04.1

Silly me. I thought upgrading to BOINC 7.4.23 would be easier in the new release if Ubuntu - where all of the packages were integrated...

Suggestions??

Thanks,

On advanced view, goto tools-> computing preferences -> processor usage.
be sure to check the box "While computer is in use".

If that was the problem, recheck the Boinc settings on your account of the websites of your projects.

I've had this problem when adding a new project - and the new preferences were downloaded.

Good luck crunching..

71) Message boards : BOINC client : boinc-client VirtualBox (Message 54945)
Posted 18 Jul 2014 by Profile jay_e
Post:
Hi there,

Recently, I added the "Atlas" project to a PC that has plenty of memory to run VirtualBox.

On the same PC (running Ubuntu Linux with virtualbox 4.3.10-dfsg-1) I am running WCG and Einstein.

I put in an app_config.xml to limit the the number of Atlas that are running at once:
...
<max_concurrent>2</max_concurrent>
...

I see this error in the task status:
'Waiting to run (Scheduler wait: VM job unmanageable, restarting later)'

If I set all projects to "Won't get new tasks" ,
all running WU run to completion - EXCEPT the task mentioned above.

If I exit boinc-manager and restart the boinc-client,
Then the task completes.

Is this a bug or a feature?? :-)

I would like to see if I can get Atlas to play well with others.
I realize that it may take a day or two for BOINC to get some run-averages.

Meanwhile, I 'grew' the /var partition (with BOINC directory) from from 15 (or 20) GiB to 150GiB.
Afterwards, another WU hung with the same status. This time, I didn't wait, just suspended all WU; stopped and restarted the manager and client. The 'stuck' task restarted and finished OK.

I *believe* the error occurs when boinc does a task switch to another task taht was waiting.

Another user helpfully suggested that I set the "switch between applications" to 99999 minutes.
Yup. That works.

I did want to pass the error by you to see if anyone is interested.
Another user reported the same error in their team forum - but on the T4T task - which also uses VirtualBox.

[from the _Rolling Stone_]:
Suggestions?
Love-letters?
Advice?

added logging?

My gratitude and thanks,

I've spent some time reading the posts about increasing BOINC partcipation -
and the excellent posts about the societal rewards of the projects.

Computer users are willing to learn the ins and outs of Facebook to get an immediate reward of social interaction.

Hmmm. Sounds like we need more parties !!!

What do you think? Solicit users to meet at a bar , restaurant, park?
Talk about their favorite projects?

Ah, I see a problem. How to encourage new users and avoid "My xyz GPU can leave your ABC GPU in the dust' and associated conversations?

Moderators?

Ideas? Opinions? advice?

Posted 27 Mar 2013 by Profile jay_e
Post:
Hi Claggy, Richard, Ageless and others who posted to this theme,

I am afraid that I am still where I was when I posted on this last April. I am still running 7.0.28 with the 2+2 preferences but unless I restrict MW@H using the suspend and resume tactic it will kick SETI off and only run MW@H.

I thought that if I gave it a few months to settle down then I would get back to 50/50 on both projects but this has not happened. Although the "high priority" tag for MW@H disappeared after 7.0.25 it is , in effect, behaving as if it was still there.

Does anybody have any ideas? If so, thanks for posting them.

John



Hey there.
I had written up some strange-looking observations about the n-Body-108
There is a MW forum that asked for input about their beta-program. [edit-clarify]

see
http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/forum_thread.php?id=3171

It explained a lot to me.
I run Linux. (may not matter)
I had set my BOINC preferences ( cpu % cores utilized) to 50 % and every other time a certain WU was downloaded the actual utilization went from
62.5% to 100% to 62.5% to 100% , etc.....

I *think* this relates to your observations.

First of all, stellar documentation of your experience! I don't have a solution for you at this point, but I am starting a similar build today. I'll let you know if I get my ATI7750 GPU running opencl work, and then we can compare notes...


Ivan,
how did it go?

Did you find the clue? ( do a sudo /etc/init.d/boinc-client restart )
after every boot.

I also posted in the WCG gpu forum.
Many thanks to Katejacy

hi Claggy,
I missed the most important.
I had posted it in the WCG - GPUforum . here it is

But first.
In another forum, another user responded with a solution;
After reboot, you have to restart the client.

** That worked **
with that info, I found a post from 2010 in BOINCStats
Yes, this have been a problem for over two years.

The answer was that it had to do with GPU card initialization.
But I had followed other posts and had added a 33 second delay.

I started digging.
I checked out the BOINC source and found where the error message was generated.

Now the fun starts
The error message - for Linux - is when a test for the file
OpenCL.so
is done.

I scratched my head. That has nothing to do with card initialization -
and getting code downloaded.
Further test dealt with available memory - an had different error messages.

I'm not above hacking.
Since I could not easily trace the include files that set up the path,
I just put links to the OpenCL.so all over the place.
Yes. I did have the .so file - but the links did not help at all.

I was still bugged.
I saw one forum response that used the service command.
I had been bit years ago with that since it has VERY limited env variables -
like LD_LIBRARY_PATH
So I thought that the different rc.[level 0 thru 7] that all
had links to init.d/boinc-client were mangling each other.
Call Gallagher! Hack away!
I took out all of the links except one.
That didn't work either.

So. I'm still looking for the cause of the symptom.

I did get a small chance to use my GPU for the WCGrid Help Conquer Cancer project. But it is projected to run out of GPU WU soon.

My next step is to look through 3 years of BOINC problem reports and see what is there.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!!
Jay

PS, I'm currently using Ubuntu Raring 13.04 with the 'stock', non-free,
fglrx: 2:9.010-0ubuntu2
and

drivers

GERONIMO!

Post:
Went to the AMD web site
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx
and got the latest "catalyst" driver and App sdk -- for LINUX.

Boinc still did not recognize.

An Ah-hah. a README in the SDK download said
"Note: 
	As of SDK 2.8, the AMD APP SDK GPU runtime is not supported. To get the APP GPU runtime file,
	install the Catalyst driver. The SDK 2.8 runtime supports only CPU hardware; it is installed under
	/opt/AMDAPP/
	
	Recommandations for GPU user:
	Install 12.10 (or later) Catalyst driver then install SDK 2.8 to avoid the CPU RT files installation."

The RT Libs *are* in the windows Catalyst. Not the linux ...

But all I want *is* the Realtime libraries... :-(

In hopes of a distribution with the ATI package needed with OpenCL,
I have tried:

    Debian 6.06
    Debian 6.07
    Ubuntu 12.04-1
    Ubuntu 12.04-2
    UberStudent 2.0.4.1 (xfce)
    Kubuntu 12.10 (KDE)
    Lubuntu 12.10 (lxde)


Results: The ubuntu installers did a better job of recognizing the video hardware. But I should be able to get the right Debian package for the video driver. Getting the openCL that MATCHES the verion of the fglrx on the video driver is problematic.
Kubuntu lsmod gave radeon 895653 2
modinfo gave
filename: /lib/modules/3.5.0-17-generic/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon.ko
license: GPL and additional rights
description: ATI Radeon
author: Gareth Hughes, Keith Whitwell, others.
...
and the firmware for the 7750
firmware: radeon/VERDE_rlc.bin
firmware: radeon/VERDE_mc.bin
firmware: radeon/VERDE_ce.bin
firmware: radeon/VERDE_me.bin
firmware: radeon/VERDE_pfp.bin
...
But, still, BOINC didn't recognize the card.

About the Debian packages for opencl..
Here is what I tried:

aptitude search amd

p boinc-amd-opencl - metapackage for AMD/ATI OpenCL-savvy BOINC client and manager
p boinc-amd-opencl:i386 - metapackage for AMD/ATI OpenCL-savvy BOINC client and manager
p fglrx-amdcccle-updates - Catalyst Control Center for the AMD graphics accelerators

Note: the following was already installed - and BOINC did not see GPU.
i A fglrx-amdcccle - Catalyst Control Center for the AMD graphics accelerators


snag...

Oh, blah
so. Try to treat boinc-amd-opencl as a pre-requisite.

Oh, not in the stable version. Will try (test version) later but first
try libopencl1

root@pc-14-large:/home/jay# aptitude install libopencl1
Note: selecting "ocl-icd-libopencl1" instead of the
virtual package "libopencl1"
The following NEW packages will be installed:
ocl-icd-libopencl1

Nothing. Nada.

and now try the boinc again...
Nope. sees amd-libopencl1 and libopencl1 as different.

Punt. Try the boinc package:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+package/boinc-amd-opencl


Time to re-post and ask again.

I still would like the fairly simple question to a user that has installed the
OpenCL runtime on Linux (preferebly Debian) for ATI
Radeon 7700 or 7800 or 7900 series - How did you do it?

I welcome suggestions

Jay

PS
for a primer on the name, wherefores and segfaults of the debian ATI packages, see:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2012/06/msg01108.html
Yes, this may be outdated biu it is a firm basis.
THANKS, Vincent.

PPS,
If you manually load from the AMD webpage, you are the one to verify version compatibility - conformance.

See
http://developer.amd.com/tools/heterogeneous-computing/amd-accelerated-parallel-processing-app-sdk/system-requirements-driver-compatibility/

I'll copy the table at the end of their page here

Another ah-hah.

I didn't see the AMD open CL because it was in testing - not the stable release.

Get try it.
Fail again

Looks good so far..
Reboot and restart BOINC..

OK, Does anyone know just what - and where BOINC looks for the
file that is part of the openCL library??

Definitely time to quit for the day.

Thanks agin,

...OH...
I can't believe I did this.
It OpenCL not OpenGL.

OK.
Punt.
Doesn't look like I can get Open CL for Debian and AMD
Debian (Squeeze) does have Nvidia drivers built into their distribution:
root@xxxx:/var/log# aptitude search openCL

p   nvidia-opencl-icd-ia32 - NVIDIA OpenCL ICD (32-bit)
v   opencl-icd             -    


I tried the non-nvidia-named open cli.. NOPE. It went to the Nvidia....

OK.
Please advise.
Maybe I can take my AMD GPU card back and try a Nvidia that has support
for Open CL..

Next hurdle.
Does anyone if the libraries above satisfy BOINC's check for an Open CL library??

Thanks.
Time for a beer.

Hm. No Bites. Yet.

I went back and re-read wiki.debian.org/ATIProprietary.

The wiki listed instructions for squeeze.
These said to install fglrx - driver and -control with headers to the current kernel.
Did these. installed without a hitch.
Reboot.
Did not get to the GDM login screen.
log had repeated crashes.

Removed fglrx
installed standard ati video. the video now works -

BUT
BOINC says
Fri 22 Feb 2013 12:54:37 AM EST No usable GPUs found
(argh)

I went back and installed freeglut3
No recognition
Installed just about everything that mentioned Open GL
Still no recognition from BOINC.


Any suggestions???

Thanks,
Jay

It looks like the Radeon HD series goes up to HD 5000
But not HD 7000.

I'll try to focus on my question.
I'm not gaming. I want the OpenGL to allow WCG - Help Conquer Cancer to
run apps on the GPU.

Does anyone know if this is possible in the current Linux?
Or will I have to swallow a lot of pride and go buy Microsoft and install??

Thanks again!
Jay
