Problem with BOINC manager from v 6.12.n onwards

Posted 15 Aug 2012 by Dark Angel Post: Just an update. I'm currently running 7.0.27 (I think, it's installed from the repositories for Ubuntu 12.04) and am still having the same issue with the wxwidgets version incompatibility. |

Posted 31 Jan 2012 by Dark Angel Post: You definitely need to install two libraries: libssl.so.1.0.0 => not found libcrypto.so.1.0.0 => not found this bit means BOINC needs them but they're not on your system. Have a hunt through your package manager for them and install them. |

Posted 13 Jan 2012 by Dark Angel Post: Ok, it looks good. The only niggle I've got is from the output of ldd boinc
The required libs are there and the client runs, it's just sulking about the version information, so I'm not sure if it's a similar thing where my libs are newer than anticipated or something else. Since it works I'm not really worried about it. As a suggestion, perhaps a page somewhere listing the lib versions these new dynamically linked BOINC versions are compiled against might be handy. |

Posted 13 Jan 2012 by Dark Angel Post: 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". |

Posted 13 Jan 2012 by Dark Angel Post: Little update: I've discovered that Audacity exhibits the same symptoms and that a few people have had it happen to them. Not many, but a few at least. This suggests that there's some difficulty/incompatibility with the gtk+ or wxwidgets version on my system. It might help if I knew which versions 6.12.33 and onwards are compiled against. Perhaps someone could enlighten me? I also discovered that the client doesn't like my versions of libcurl, libcrypto and libssl (using the ldd boinc command), but it seems to run happily enough just the same so I won't chase those for the moment. |

Posted 12 Jan 2012 by Dark Angel Post: In all fairness I should mention it's good to see the benchmark on this system come up with this version. The discrepancy between the Linux and Windows benchmarks have been the cause of some consternation for a while now. Forgot to mention, minimizing the window and then maximizing/restoring it doesn't make any difference. |

(Message 42026)
Posted 12 Jan 2012 by Dark Angel Post: It happens every time I connect to a client, be it the local machine or another one on my network. I also just discovered that it will not upload tasks, either. It's particular to this machine though as the same version uploads fine on my other Linux boxes, which are all Ubuntu 10.04, though the manager won't run on them. ldd boincmgr on those machines rattles off a bunch of unmet dependencies on gt2k. I noticed in another thread comments about using dynamic/static linking and how the devs have chosen to go dynamic. As far as I can see the only "problems" they are addressing this way are related to cosmetics, size on the file server and bandwidth consumption. Up to v6.10.58 could be assumed to "just work" so long as you had a reasonably sane system. Now ... not so much. Never had this happen before so rather disappointed. I downgraded to 6.12.33 and the upload at least works though the menu bar is still just as flakey. |

Posted 12 Jan 2012 by Dark Angel Post: Ok, all the dependencies come up as met for the client, command and manager binaries. I just discovered that if I switch to Simple View and then back it seems to work fine. I'm guessing this is something to do with the Skinning feature somehow. |

Posted 12 Jan 2012 by Dark Angel Post: Slackware is a little different to Ubuntu (or Debian) in that regard in that repositories are handled differently. There's not normally any automatic updating unless I choose to do it myself. Some updates I would have to compile myself if I thought they were necessary. I'll use ldd and see what comes up. Might reveal something. Thanks. |

Posted 11 Jan 2012 by Dark Angel Post: I'm running Slackware 13.37 64bit (XFCE 4.4 desktop) and having been running BOINC v 6.10.58 very smoothly for some time. Recently I tried the latest "recommended" version but am having some odd problems that I cannot seem to find any answer to. My normal update method is to shut down the existing client, extract the new one in a separate folder, copy the new binaries to the existing folder and then restart the client. This has worked fine for until now. With the current recommended version (6.12.34) up to and including 7.0.6, the client itself seems to work fine but the manager has a display issue where all the controls across the top of the page (File Edit View etc) display ok until the manager connects to the client but then they all contract to the far left such that only half of the File option control is visible. The Controls open using their Alt+foo hotkeys but there is no way to access them with the cursor or see them. Since I don't see this problem coming up in any searches I've done I am guessing that I am missing a required display library or have the wrong version of one for these newer manager versions. Would it be possible to get a list of dependencies and/or what libs etc the manager was compiled against? Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

Posted 30 Nov 2008 by Dark Angel Post: Actually they're designed to be run as crunching engines and as such have better cooling and more durable construction. Then there's the issue of error control. I believe they are considerably more expensive than their pretty-picture-making counterparts, but not without some benefit when it comes to 100% 24/7 operation. |

Posted 29 Nov 2008 by Dark Angel Post: Just a question ... Does the GPU/CUDA functionality in BOINC handle things like the nVidia Tesla setup? (3-4 Tesla cards, quad core CPU and RAM to burn) There's a link to GPUgrid in the CUDA application pages but I've been told (by an unverified source) that BOINC won't handle that many GPUs. I'd just like to clarify. |

BOINC Benchmark list
(Message 21420)
Posted 20 Nov 2008 by Dark Angel Post: Hi Dark Angel! Individual users who have responded either to this or in threads on several other forums. Did you compile from any of the boincstats.com info? No. How do you know that a particular version of, for example, ubuntu is 64 bit and not 32 bit and running on a 64 bit platform? I ask. The current version of my list includes the bit number for both operating system and BOINC client. Do your statistics include gpugrid? That seems to skew the boinc points per day. No. I have yet to get any stats from anybody running gpugrid. For example, I have calculated the following average cpu statistics for gpugrid and abc but was unable to draw a proper conclusion as to the boinc points per day. (Sorry I do not know how to set font to fixed pitch to fit. Look here for better graphic of table http://swri.info/cpustats/5_stats_jys.png ) I just build this as a spreadsheet. The benchmarks are from direct user reports, not my own estimates, and the credit estimate is based on info I have found here and elsewhere and assumes 24 hours of actual crunching time (not wall clock time) and reports CLAIMED credit as opposed to what the quorum on various project might grant. Since I have yet to come across anybody that runs gpugrid I have not included anything specific to that. I also do not try and track or estimate the exact time taken to complete units as I don't think that can accurately be done (too much variation in usage patterns by users). I'm not sure, but I think we're actually trying to do something a little different from each other. I wish you well, this has proven to be a difficult and often thankless undertaking. Good luck Mick (DA) |

Posted 1 Nov 2008 by Dark Angel Post: After seeing every list of BOINC benchmarks I've found start and die shortly after I've taken it on myself to produce something that people might find useful. I've been tabulating systems, listing CPU (make, type, rated speed, operating speed, number of cores), Operating system (Win/Linux etc, name/distribution, version number, type (desktop or sever), 32/64 bit) and BOINC version. The spreadsheet also returns the expected points CLAIM (not return as nobody can predict the various quorums) in both BOINC points per day (assuming the machine runs and returns for the full 24hrs) and for WCG (until they convert to straight BOINC points). If anyone wants to download the spreadsheet (in .xls format) they can get it HERE If anybody wants to contribute their scores (with ALL the other information, and please be honest. After all, this is for posterity.) please email them to me at iron_sparky at yahoo dot co dot uk and I'll include them for you. |

(Message 20682)
Posted 6 Oct 2008 by Dark Angel Post: Firstly just a quick thanks to the dev team. Thanks for all the hard work you folk put in, it's much appreciated. I just downloaded this version to give it a whirl and see how it runs. It did some funny things and being as it's a dev version I figured I should say what I saw. I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 64bit, fully updated. AMD Opteron 185 (running at 2.86GHz, yes it's got a 10% overclock) with 2GB or DDR-566 RAM and an XFX 7600GT vid card. (I don't know what else might be relevant so ask if need be.) When attempting to connect to other clients on my network with the 6.3.10 manager it would bring up the "Connect to project" dialogue. If I cancelled that it would drop me to the "Messages" tab rather than the one I had selected before trying to connect. I was attempting to connect to v 6.2.15 clients. Thanks again for the efforts, I hope this helps someone. |

Posted 17 Jul 2008 by Dark Angel Post: For the most part, yes. They are all ending up named "Space Family", though there seems to be more than one team ID in a "holding pattern" at least at Rosetta. My suspicion is that this Barbar <expletive> has others "parked" in case he loses his current team and/or is banned from forming a new one. This operation appears to be very wide ranging, deliberate and malicious. |

Posted 15 Jul 2008 by Dark Angel Post: This guy really is a "piece of work". I'll assume this has been called for more than once already, but I suggest Barbar be banned from any and all BOINC projects and this parasitic team of his as well. His antics are causing nothing but anger and frustration on every project he touches, and it seems pretty obvious to me that he has no regard at all for what we as a community are trying to achieve. ie the betterment of all mankind through sharing computer resources. |

Posted 9 Jul 2008 by Dark Angel Post: Here's the Space Family team on CPDN Beta1 (that's the original beta project, not the project we're crunching for now): Even if hosts are detached they remain in the system otherwise it breaks the relations in the database. IOW, a work unit cannot exist as "completed" if there's no agent to have done it, so the agent ID, and associated info, are permanent. If he'd ever done anything, it would be searchable down to precisely which units he'd done, how long they took, what credit he received/claimed, time and date work was sent/due/received ... the whole bit. |
