(Message 23107)
Posted 14 Feb 2009 by dentaku Post: I unchecked "When computer is in use" with a 1 minute configuration in the BOINC manager preferences. But it doesn't work: when I start BOINC manager, it doesn't start the projects and display: "Suspending network activity - user is active". After 1 minute, the projects start crunching ("resuming network activity") - and never stop again no matter if I move the mouse, type on the keyboard or do anything else with the computer. I run BOINC manager 6.4.5 on 64 Bit Linux. I wonder it it says "NETWORK activity" ... of course, the preferences setting is usage of the CPU - not the network. |

Posted 10 Feb 2009 by dentaku Post: GPUGRID has new Versions also for LInux: "New applications for Windows and Linux released. CPU usage is now close to zero, so that you can keep crunching other CPU projects as before while also using the GPUs in your mach" In addition to 2 active WUs for my 2 cores, a third WU is now also active using the GPU. |

Settings for best throughput?
(Message 22398)
Posted 12 Jan 2009 by dentaku Post: Well, with 8 GB RAM, I have plenty of it for BOINC - so, no swapping risc. I reduced the default time to 10 minutes to get smaller WUs out in time. Sometimes, a big WU like climatepredicition outrun small WUs. I wonder if there is a minimum checkpoint duration. |

Posted 12 Jan 2009 by dentaku Post: I set up my configs to change applications every 10 minutes (and keep apps in memory). Is there some kind of optimal change time? Perhaps, some value is too low and the overheade of changing apps gets too high. |

Boinc Manager Linux 5.10.28 WILL NOT STOP
(Message 14826)
Posted 10 Jan 2008 by dentaku Post:
Nope, it doesn't. I always quit BOINC manager with "Datei > Beenden". And former versions (before 5.10.28) always stopped the tasks too. I see this in my CPU meter. Since 5.10.28, the CPU meter keeps crawling at 100% and I see the BOINC tasks still working in the process overview (GNOME system monitor). I am able to stop the client via Extras > Shut down connected client but of course this is a step backwards compared to former versions that did this automatically on closing BOINC manager ... |

Posted 4 Jan 2008 by dentaku Post: I can't see any "Advanced" Menu in the BOINC manager ... In former versions, when I closed the BOINC GUI, the boinc tasks also quit. SInce this version, the tasks continue occupying the CPU. Why was this changed? At least there could be some configuration check box how a user would like to behave when the BOINC gui is closed. |

Worst bug ever: short time without internet => most/all tasks fail!!!
(Message 14124)
Posted 26 Nov 2007 by dentaku Post: This is the worst bug of BOINC I ever encountered in a new version (Linux 5.10.28): when the internet connection is unavailable for a short time (e.g. 1 Minute), BOINC pops up a message that internet connection is down and you should choose the menu item extras > retry communication. But as soon as I press OK, most of my tasks suddenly change to 100% and with calculation errors. Grrrrr! This occurs everytime when my internet connection is down and it's a pain in the ass to loose all this work (e.g. sevral days of crunching on Einstein, SETI, etc.). I can't see some rule here, as some tasks keep staying and continue and others fail. I have a dual core CPU running 2 WUs at a time and today, about 8 tasks failed on the last internet "pause". Too bad ... :-( |

(Message 14057)
Posted 23 Nov 2007 by dentaku Post: Okay, some progress: I found the file ".BOINC Manager" in my home directory. I checked if it had read/write rights for my user - it had. Then I looked into the file and found some strange characters - german Umlauts were displayed as funny boxes and strange chars. I replaced them with non-Umlauts and started again. No success. But suddenly the .BOINC Manager file lost almost all of it's content (only 137 Byte instead of my backed up 4,2 KB). And after another restart, the error message finally vanished! So, it seems that there is a problem with special characters in this file and perhaps the new BOINC version tries to vonvert this file and can't read it therefore. Other than that, BOINC manager still starts always with the simple view. And changing to the advanced view never remembers it's size, position, etc. |

Posted 23 Nov 2007 by dentaku Post: 2. The main window always opens in a smaller size, even though I always maximize it before closing it - the old version always opened maximized (i.e.: the last size?). In addition, BOINC always starts in the simple view - the old versions started in the last view when I quit BOINC last time. Is there any solution for this problem with ".BOINC Manager" configuration file? I don't have such a file - neither in my user's home directory nor in the BOINC installation directory. :-( |

Posted 19 Nov 2007 by dentaku Post: I run the 5.10.28 64 Bit version with Ubuntu 7.10 for several days now and here are the bugs/problems compared the the previous version: 1. Everytime I start BOINC I get this error message: ------------------------------ BOINC Manager Error can't open user configuration file '/home/den/.BOINC Manager'. Failed to convert file "/home/den/.BOINC Manager" to Unicode. 21:19:49 can't open user configuration file '/home/den/.BOINC Manager' to Unicode. 21:19:49 ------------------------------ 2. The main window always opens in a smaller size, even though I always maximize it before closing it - the old version always opened maximized (i.e.: the last size?). 3. All table columns in the tabs with tables are reset to some small widths - no matter how often I resize them ... on next start they're small again. :-( 4. For long running times (more than 24 hours) suddenly all tasks fail. The internet connectionj is also gone. I have to restart again and the tasks get reported with error. The only good new is that it looks prettier now as it uses the system look&feel / theme. |

Posted 4 Nov 2007 by dentaku Post: When I let my computer on for a long time (and my internet provider disconnects automatically every 24 hours), I notice that some or all of BOINC's tasks failed. I noticed this now several times and I guess this is a BOINC program error. If an internet connection is required, BOINC should retry in specific cycles - endlessly. Or suspend with some notification. But not by letting tasks fail! |
