21) Message boards : BOINC client : Boinc Client on HPUX 10.20 (Message 16327)

Are you shure that you use a http proxy, not a socks proxy ? - Are the authentication entries (<socks5_user_name> and <socks5_user_passwd> - if you use socks or <http_user_named> and </http_user_passwd> for http proxy set correctly ?
I am not shure, but I think there was some issues at the older 4.x BOINC clients with proxy autentication. Could anyone confirm this ? In which version was it fixed ?
What proxy server do you use ?


I am using an http proxy server. I am running a windows machine on the same network and have BOINC 5.10.20 running smoothly with http proxy server configured.

I have put my username and password in as well, and have confirmed by making sure that is what I'm using on my windows box BOINC platform.

I'm not sure what proxy server I'm using. Could I trouble you for a newer build of BOINC for this cr@ppy old operating system?

Have you included the statement <use_http_proxy> in the client_state.xml ?

The proxy statement should look like this :
<proxy_info>
    <use_http_proxy/>
    <socks_version>4</socks_version>
    <socks_server_name></socks_server_name>
    <socks_server_port>80</socks_server_port>
    <http_server_name>obiwan</http_server_name>
    <http_server_port>8000</http_server_port>
    <socks5_user_name></socks5_user_name>
    <socks5_user_passwd></socks5_user_passwd>
    <http_user_name></http_user_name>
    <http_user_passwd></http_user_passwd>
</proxy_info>

Before you change the client_state.xml you have got to stop the BOINC client.
Could you please download the newest BOINC client package for 10.20 from www.dotsch.de/boinc. - It's a modified version, could you please try, if they fix your problems. If not, I will recompile it again.
Edit : I've also made some trials with a BOINC client 4.7x, which has imho a better proxy support - if the proxy connection not work with 4.32, I can also catch up the 4.8x build for 10.20.


Dotsch, you rock for offering so much time with this. I have added <use_http_proxy/> as you have said, and have downloaded the package again. I now get the following error:

I'm thinking the problem is I can't get through my firewall. I've modified the client_state.xml to include my proxy username and password, but still no luck. Is this the correct way to set my proxy, username, and password?


On Windows and Linux you can set proxy info via Advanced->Options in BOINC manager. Not sure but I'm guessing Stefan's package does not include the manager?

Another way, on Windows and Linux, is to use boinc_cmd which is a command line interface for controlling the client. Maybe Stefan's package includes boinc_cmd?

Editing client_state.xml seems like it should work too but I've never tried setting proxy that way. You'll need to exit the client first, of course. I suspect you'll also need to delete client_state_prev.xml else BOINC might undo your edit of client_state.xml.


Stefan's package does not include the manager.

I'm running this through the command line and have not GUI interface. I've tried running the boinc_cmd as well, but that gives me the error:
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Can't open shared library: /opt/boinc/lib/libstdc++.sl.5
/usr/lib/dld.sl: No such file or directory
Abort(coredump)

I have the program running from a user directory, and do not have /opt/ privilage. With boinc_cleint, I set SHLIB_PATH=/a/nunu/boinc ; export SHLIB_PATH, so the boinc_client does access the libraries correctly. However, with boinc_cmd, I can not seem to modify the path in which it is accessing the /opt/boinc/lib.

modifying client_state.xml does not seem to help.

I've downloaded the client for HPUX 10.20 from Stefan Urbat; http://www.lb.shuttle.de/apastron/boincDown.shtml

After installing the boinc_client, I run it with:

I'm thinking the problem is I can't get through my firewall. I've modified the client_state.xml to include my proxy username and password, but still no luck. Is this the correct way to set my proxy, username, and password?

Any other suggestions?

Compiling your own is the only choice; there aren't official binaries for HP-UX. You'll have to do the same with SETI application, not only BOINC.


Wonderful. :(

I tried that. Unfortunetly my C compiler cannot create executables, and I don't have root password. Looks like 1 less server to use.

Huh ... are you sure your box is Linux? It might be some other variant of Unix. What does

uname -a

print out?



I write this in fear of me being a total idiot; uname -a prints out:

HP-UX whrcs4 B.10.20 A 9000/785 unknown


If boinc_5.8.15_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh is the wrong version, what version should I be using?

What about your tar and bash version? (I'm assuming your shell is bash).


Not sure how to bring up ther version with tar, but the MAN page shows:
HP-UX Release 10.20: July 1996

bash:
GNU bash, version 1.13.2 -CWRU

My command interpreter is ksh.

YEP!!! now I tried

gunzip | tar xf foo.tar.gz

Correct syntax for that is:

gunzip foo.tar.gz | tar xf -


That provides the same error as before:

gunzip: foo.tar.gz: not in gzip format
Tar: blocksize = 0; broken pipe?

So it's clear there seems to be a problem with the zip file, as it's not unzipping correctly. Any suggestions? I also tried re-downloading the file and starting fresh to make the foo.tar.gz file, and still get stuck with the gunzip. Okay, what next??

Please don't give up!


If you execute the following:
( read l; read l; read l; exec cat ) < boinc_5.8.17_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh > foo.tar.gz


do you get a valid gzipped tar file? file should be something like this:

$ file foo.tar.gz
foo.tar.gz: gzip compressed data, from Unix, last modified: Thu Mar 8 03:29:46 2007

The date part will be different in your case of course.


YEP!!! now I tried

gunzip | tar xf foo.tar.gz

buy got the error:
directoy checksum error
gunzip: compressed data not read from a terminal. Use -f to force decompression.

I also tried: gunzip -fd foo.tar.gz and got the error:
gunzip: foo.tar.gz: not in gzip format

u+x means add eXecute privileges to the User.

Did you try "./boinc_5.8.17_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh" (after giving execute permissions) instead of "sh boinc_5.8.17_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh"?


Yep. :(

I got the same error.

gunzip: stdin: not in gzip format
Tar: blocksize = 0; broken pipe?

Please don't give up!

Try this, instead of using sh:

chmod u+x boinc_5.8.17_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh
./boinc_5.8.17_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh


I originally tried chmod +x, but I undid that, and just tried with the u flag. Still no luck. What are the individual files inside the pack?

It's been a long time since I used Linux... it's slowly coming back. :) I appreciate your help man.

Do this after downloading:

md5sum <filename>

The output should match the one below. I don't know if you downloaded 5.8.15 or 5.8.17, so I'll give the output for both:

2b02e40d741ee1cc6732c2832439935f *boinc_5.8.15_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh
e11a2c61520edb09af3ab9f9e52c8093 *boinc_5.8.17_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh
If it doesn't match, means the download was corrupted.


e11a2c61520edb09af3ab9f9e52c8093 --- Yep it has downloaded correctly.

*sigh*

Is there a place I can download the tar file ??

It's beginning to sound as if you need to do some detective work, to find out whether it's a corrupt download or a broken (un)zipper.

Do you have any chance of downloading the package on another machine - preferably using a different ISP - and transferring via CD or memory stick? That would help to track down whether it's getting mangled in transit.

And for the other half of the test, have you tried to install any gzipped packages from other sources recently, to test that all your local tools are working properly?


Yeah, I have tried to download the file to another machine, and transfered it to the current machine. I also have been installing other software via the same fashion. However, I also tried tar on spereate packages that were just tar'ed and it worked.

I think there is some reason why tar isn't working before it's piped to zip... At least that is what I think is trying to happen??

Your browser probably downloaded file as ASCII instead of BINARY. I guess that running

wget http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/boinc_5.8.17_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh

from linux command prompt should do it properly.




Okay, downloaded it this way, and confirmed the file is there. Still having the same error:

gunzip: stdin: not in gzip format
Tar: blocksize = 0; broken pipe?

Any other suggestions? You guys are really awsome with all the help! Thx!

Thank you for a quick reply. You know how to get through a proxy using the cmd prompt?
