Well can this idea be presented to the developers of all editions of BOINC and let them think about it and do a poll whether it should be done?

I have my preferences set to use 100% of Multi-CPU and 100% CPU Time when computing. I also have it set to switch between applications every 120 minutes.

I have noticed that World Community Grid seems to always be using all four processors and was to understand that each project would use 33.3% of the CPU time and processors when computing. Is this right or do I hav a setting wrong?

Is there a way to make sure each project uses one Processor at a time?

Thank you for your time,
Will

I'm more of a Windows person, but you may want to check http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/CompileClient#Linux. Not sure if the Linux build commands are the same throughout the distros.

I got it to compile, but now I'm getting a run-time error. Based on the info in your posts, I discovered that I need the following as dependencies to get the manager GUI to compile:

libqt4-opengl-dev
freeglut3-dev
libglui-dev
libwxgtk2.8-0
libsqlite3-dev
libsqlite0-dev

After sudo make install, I get the following terminal output:
jason@jason-desktop:~/Downloads/Utilities/boinc_core_release_7_0_25$ boincmgr
execvp(/home/jason/Downloads/Utilities/boinc_core_release_7_0_25/boinc, --redirectio, --launched_by_manager) failed with error 2!

Last night I downloaded the most recent stable version of boinc 7.0.25 for 64bit Linux. I use 64bit Ubuntu 10.04. When I double click on the boincmgr icon, nothing happens. So, I tried running it in a terminal by typing ./run_manager and it gave me this error:

./boincmgr: error while loading shared libraries: libnotify.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The output of whereis libnotify is
libnotify: /usr/lib/libnotify.la /usr/lib/libnotify.a /usr/lib/libnotify.so /usr/lib64/libnotify.la /usr/lib64/libnotify.a /usr/lib64/libnotify.so /usr/include/libnotify

[snip]

So, I assume I have libnotify. I must need a simlink, but I don't know how to make simlinks in Linux.

Also, I have been running the development version of boinc 7.0.3 for 64bit Linux that I compiled without receiving this error. The reason that I want 7.0.25 is that when I compiled boinc I only got boinc and not the GUI manager for some reason

./configure --disable-server

Do know, that the scheduling code has been rewritten from the ground up. It will not go and fetch work, or schedule which projects to run, as previous versions did.

[T]he new work fetch methods are now based on a low water mark and a high water mark.

BOINC won't immediately after uploading & reporting work ask for new work, but will only do so when it's past the low water mark.

E.g. if you wanted at least a day's worth of work:
In 6.12 and before, you'd set connect to interval to 0.01 and additional work to 1.0

In 7.0 you set minimum work buffer to 1.0 and max additional work buffer to 0.01

Collatz remains offline. I hope to hear from someone anyone that knows what is going on. I hope everyone is ok on the project.

Don't know about that, I do know my Mac reported computation errors on all the units it is waiting to report. The computer is verifying on other projects. Perhaps it is more than the firewall.

320 WUs and counting, about 12 hours of work according to BOINC's own estimation... that's 0.5 days, way more than 0.01 days.

Ubuntu downloads and installs only version 6.33, as 6.34 is not yet in the apt-get database. Boinc Manager keeps sending me notices to download, install, and run v6.34. I am unable to do this as I am a novice at Linux. So I wait for Ubuntu to add v6.34 to its database or someone here to steer me down the path to a successful install of the version from this web site

Ok, after hunting through versions for some time, it turns out that my wxwidgets version was/is too NEW.
I grabbed v6.12.43 and thankfully it lists which version it's compiled against: 2.8.11
My system was running wxWidgets 2.8.12
So far it's running nicely, though I will try to provoke it a little more before declaring this "solved".
