| 1) Message boards : Questions and problems : Will there be a viable boinc for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS soon
Message 113524 Posted 31 Jan 2024 by vorix |
@David Pickett I recommend you install BOINC 7.20.5 from this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~costamagnagianfranco/+archive/ubuntu/boinc I'm using it on Pop OS 22.04, which is based on Ubuntu 22.04 and this version of BOINC works fine. It's possible I had to do something after installation so the BOINC manager can communicate with the client (not sure - that problem may have been with some other BOINC version on Ubuntu 20.04). |

Interesting paper. I wonder why they didn’t include Einstein@home, despite saying they included “SETI@home and the next nine largest projects on BOINC)”. I always thought Einstein@home was something like the 2nd largest project after SETI@home? Also they say “Analyzing (or crowdsourcing) rose a decade later, at the end of the 2000s, carried by the launch of Galaxy Zoo in 2007”, however Stardust@home actually came before it (2006). |

Message 112979 Posted 23 Oct 2023 by vorix |
Hello, I am currently using BOINC 7.20.5 from the costamagnagianfranco PPA on an old PC (Core 2 Quad Q6600) with Ubuntu 20.04. I would like to use this new feature to use 75% of the CPU cores when in use and 100% when not in use. What is the recommended installation method for BOINC on Ubuntu for versions greater than 7.20.5? Should I try the Flatpak version? I also saw this: Bounty: Fix BOINC Linux Packaging which appears to be completed I added the repo on my Pop OS 22.04 host: wget -O- https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/linux/stable/jammy/boinc-202305.gpg | gpg --dearmor > boinc-key.gpg cat boinc-key.gpg | sudo tee -a /usr/share/keyrings/boinc-key.gpg > /dev/null echo 'deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/boinc-key.gpg] https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/linux/stable/jammy/ jammy main' | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/boinc-official-test.list There is only this one package in the repo, but I did not install it as it does not appear to be ready (weird version number etc.): $ apt show boinc-linux-client Package: boinc-linux-client Version: 1.0.10-1 Maintainer: parvit <***@gmail.com> Installed-Size: unknown Depends: libc6, libxss1 (>= 1.2.3) Homepage: https://boinc.berkeley.edu/ Name: boinc-linux-client Download-Size: 3,535 kB APT-Sources: https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/linux/stable/jammy jammy/main amd64 Packages Description: BOINC lets you help cutting-edge science research using your computer.

| 4) Message boards : GPUs : Intel iGPU (Gen7) on Ubuntu/Pop OS 22.04 (beignet-opencl-icd not available)
Message 112974 Posted 22 Oct 2023 by vorix |
Hello! I am running BOINC 7.20.5 (from the costamagnagianfranco PPA) on this machine (Core i5-4460, Pop OS 22.04). BOINC is not detecting the Intel iGPU. I already tried installing the packages intel-opencl-icd and mesa-opencl-icd, both did not make a difference. intel-opencl-icd only works for Gen 8 iGPUs and above (the i5-4460 has a Gen7 iGPU). As I understand it, I need the package beignet-opencl-icd which was at least available until Ubuntu 20.04, but is not available in 22.04. So I was wondering, did anyone manage to get Intel iGPUs (<=Gen7) working in BOINC with Ubuntu 22.04 (or derivatives like Pop OS)? Maybe someone was able to compile https://github.com/intel/beignet for 22.04? (I haven't really tried it yet as I don't usually compile stuff myself). |
