<app_config> <app> <name>collatz_sieve</name> <max_concurrent>8</max_concurrent> <gpu_versions> <gpu_usage>0.25</gpu_usage> <cpu_usage>0.25</cpu_usage> </gpu_versions> </app> </app_config> This code works under Windows7, but not under LinuxMint Cinnamon 17.2. Does anyone have a fix for making it work under LinuxMint? Thanks PS - the WU runs under LinuxMint, it's app_config.xml that does not work. If you need any additional info, I'll be happy to provide it. I am not an expert, so be easy on me, please. |

In what way it doesn't work? Does the client say it found the app_config.xml file? Is the BOINC version new enough to know about app_config.xml? Did you put it into right directory? Does the client have permissions to read it? |

In what way it doesn't work? Code calls for four WU per GPU. Running 0.896 CPUs + 1 NVIDIA GPU. Does the client say it found the app_config.xml file? Have not queried Collatz Conjecture. Decided to ask BOINC first. Is the BOINC version new enough to know about app_config.xml? Version: 7.2.42 (x64) This is the version downloaded by Synaptic Package Manager. Did you put it into right directory? /var/lib/boinc-client/projects/boinc.thesonntags.com_collatz Does the client have permissions to read it? YES |

Does the client say it found the app_config.xml file? Juha meant in the Event Log BOINC keeps (and shows from the BOINC Manager - Crtl-Shift-E) on your local machine. If you re-read config files - there's a Manager menu item for that too - the log will re-display the app_config.xml detections (no need to restart BOINC). |

The client is not reading the app_config.xml. If it were, there would be any entry right after the time entry like this: 10-3-2015 2:47:38 AM | | Local time is UTC -4 hours 10-3-2015 2:47:38 AM | The Lattice Project | Found app_config.xml The first thing to check is the permissions for the file. If you installed from repositories, then the client is running under user boinc. In a terminal window, navigate to the project directory and then enter the following command: sudo chown boinc:boinc app_config.xml Then try the read config files option in BOINC Manager to see if the client now reads the file. |
