1) Message boards : Projects : What does the future of BOINC look like? (Message 108586) Posted 19 Jun 2022 by fryfat Post: I'm curious what ideas people have for the future of BOINC. I've heard rumor a couple extremes, one is merging with folding@home, another is conservative maintenance with few (if any) new features. Then I realized I've only heard these from rumors on twitter and cryptocurrency forums, and was curious what the actual developers and insiders think, especially with leadership changing.

4) Message boards : Questions and problems : boinc-client on Ubuntu 16.04: Operation failed: read() failed (Message 84638) Posted 3 Feb 2018 by fryfat Post: I'm trying to run BOINC (v7.6.31+dfsg-6ubuntu1) on my VPN digitalocean droplet running Ubuntu 16.04. The droplet is also my VPN server, and was created & configured automatically with the Streisand VPN script. (git is here: github.com/StreisandEffect/streisand ) I log in, sudo apt install boinc-client reboot boinccmd --get_state Operation failed: read() failed Every command results in "Operation failed: read() failed" In addition to defaults, I've turned on the following log flags: <task_debug/> <gui_rpc_debug/> <slot_debug/> /var/log/boincerr.log dir_open: Could not open directory 'slots' from '/var/lib/boinc-client'. Creating /var/lib/boinc-client/slots makes that error message go away, but doesn't fix "Operation failed: read() failed" /var/log/boinc.log 03-Feb-2018 00:46:34 [---] Starting BOINC client version 7.6.31 for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu 03-Feb-2018 00:46:34 [---] log flags: file_xfer, sched_ops, task 03-Feb-2018 00:46:34 [---] Libraries: libcurl/7.47.0 OpenSSL/1.0.2g zlib/1.2.8 libidn/1.32 librtmp/2.3 03-Feb-2018 00:46:34 [---] Data directory: /var/lib/boinc-client 03-Feb-2018 00:46:34 [---] No usable GPUs found 03-Feb-2018 00:46:34 [---] Host name: mylittle-server 03-Feb-2018 00:46:34 [---] Processor: 1 GenuineIntel Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630L v2 @ 2.40GHz [Family 6 Model 62 Stepping 4] 03-Feb-2018 00:46:34 [---] Processor features: fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss syscall nx pdpe1gb rdtscp lm constant_tsc arch_perfmon rep_good nopl eagerfpu pni pclmulqdq vmx ssse3 cx16 pcid sse4_1 sse4_2 x2apic popcnt tsc_deadline_timer aes xsave avx f16c rdrand hypervisor lahf_lm kaiser vnmi ept fsgsbase tsc_adjust smep erms xsaveopt arat 03-Feb-2018 00:46:34 [---] OS: Linux: 4.4.0-112-generic 03-Feb-2018 00:46:34 [---] Memory: 488.30 MB physical, 0 bytes virtual 03-Feb-2018 00:46:34 [---] Disk: 19.32 GB total, 16.93 GB free 03-Feb-2018 00:46:34 [---] Local time is UTC +0 hours 03-Feb-2018 00:46:34 [---] Config: GUI RPCs allowed from: 03-Feb-2018 00:46:34 [---] No general preferences found - using defaults 03-Feb-2018 00:46:34 [---] Reading preferences override file 03-Feb-2018 00:46:34 [---] Preferences: 03-Feb-2018 00:46:34 [---] max memory usage when active: 244.15MB 03-Feb-2018 00:46:34 [---] max memory usage when idle: 439.47MB 03-Feb-2018 00:46:34 [---] max disk usage: 16.83GB 03-Feb-2018 00:46:34 [---] don't use GPU while active 03-Feb-2018 00:46:34 [---] suspend work if non-BOINC CPU load exceeds 25% 03-Feb-2018 00:46:34 [---] (to change preferences, visit a project web site or select Preferences in the Manager) 03-Feb-2018 00:46:34 [---] gui_rpc_auth.cfg is empty - no GUI RPC password protection 03-Feb-2018 00:46:34 [---] This computer is not attached to any projects 03-Feb-2018 00:46:34 [---] Visit http://boinc.berkeley.edu for instructions 03-Feb-2018 00:46:34 Initialization completed 03-Feb-2018 00:47:49 [---] GUI RPC request from non-allowed address 2.0.135.102 adding 2.0.177.102 to gui_rpc_auth.cfg makes that error message go away, but doesn't fix "Operation failed: read() failed"' any ideas? I assume the VPN script has done something that breaks BOINC, but I don't know what. I really want to run BOINC on my VPN :(
