| 1) Message boards : Questions and problems : Can't download boing from Mint 22.1 command line
Message 116242 Posted 15 Jun 2025 by Sandman192 |
Yes, but the site is broken. But not it seems to be fixed but something still doesn't look right. Where it says noble in the command is fixed. It didn't use to say that before. It had $ and ( ) with -CS instead. Linux doesn't use $ or ( ) in the terminal. Am I wrong? sudo curl -fsSL https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/linux/stable/noble/boinc.gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/boinc.gpgThe second command doesn't look right. sudo echo deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/boinc.gpg] https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/linux/stable/noble noble main | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/boinc.list > /dev/null |

No it doesn't. Why you think it says $(lsb_release -cs) instead of "noble" in it's place. This is the only site that you have to edit instead of just copy and past and it just worked. |

Maybe $(lsb_release -cs) is web base command to change the command line when selecting OS is not working. Because selecting OS does not change the command line when selecting it. Anyway I got it installed. |

Ok, I got it now. And it seems I have to repeat it in the second line of code. |

Something like this? But I don't know what CODENAME? If any of this so far is right.sudo curl -fsSL https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/linux/stable/Ubuntu 24.04 CODENAME?/boinc.gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/boinc.gpg |

I don't know what to put in and BOINC is not clear on how to do it. lsb what? When Linux is so hard to understand BOINC should be more clearer on how to install it. |

| 8) Message boards : Questions and problems : BOINC so broken with Linux Mint 22.1
Message 116188 Posted 1 Jun 2025 by Sandman192 |
Using Software Manger to install BOINC installed but doesn't run at all. Using Flatpack to install but doesn't ask where to put the Data folder. First window that pops up when starting BOINC is what projects or project manger to use but there all blank. Doesn't add to startup manger. Notification window shows all black. But if you highlight from top left to bottom right and copy and past to Writer you see all notifications. Mint 22.1 updated since 5/29/2025 BOINC Flatpack v8.0.2 BOINC v8.0.2 for Linux Mint 22.1 won't run. |

When synchronize to Grid coin I go to right click on the icon in the system tray and click on "Open BOINC web" and instead of going to BOINC web site it takes me to grcpool.com instead. Ether rename the "Open BOINC web..." or make it go to BOINCs web site. |
| 10) Message boards : Questions and problems : CPU work full so no GPU work for you
Message 115133 Posted 3 Jan 2025 by Sandman192 |
I running Prime Grid only for CPU work. Now I decided to allow GPU work from Prime Grid site. BOINC doesn't know the differents from CPU work to GPU work and says "1/3/2025 4:21:38 PM | PrimeGrid | Not requesting tasks: too many runnable tasks" when I have no GPU work for NVIDA cards yet. BOINC v 8.0.2 Edit: sorry I didn't know but this is the first time Prime Grid had no GPU work at all. So you can ignore this message. |
| 11) Message boards : Questions and problems : Got project that are 7 days late and aborted it.
Message 114859 Posted 15 Nov 2024 by Sandman192 |
Make BOINC abort projects that past there deadline even if it's in the middle of work. I seen projects about before it runs a project. But BOINC should never have gotten the projects before when BOINC should process better. Extra days of work should not have have problems when you go past a day or more. Apparently BOINC needs to do benchmarks on GPUs since this work is running on a AND 7700X iGPU. Needs to improve on the algorithm on to not get to much work where it can't finish on time. BOINC is a set it and forget it. But I don't see that here. Application BOINC v8.0.2 |
| 12) Message boards : Questions and problems : BOINC seems to tell any V-Box project not to run on this machine.
Message 113800 Posted 21 Mar 2024 by Sandman192 |
Well can do find out if it will work since LHC ran out of (ATLAS) work. And Rosetta python projects I'm guessing is for V-Box is out as well. Well dam, I can't test if it worked or not. |

Wow, from what you told me I have to make my PC variable to attacks to get VM work to work. Everything you say is not all of this is in the FAQ at all and you giving me all this NEW intonation now seems off. NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH RUNNING ON WIN 10 on Intel. Just made sure the BIOS had Virtual enabled and off it went. Now I have to go through all the hops to try to get it to run. The notification that told me VirtualBox jobs require hardware acceleration support doesn't show up any more and nothing in the logs show any errors. I would think that the log would always come up with the error. Expressly after each startup of BOINC. OK I'll try it your way and if it still doesn't or does work I'll still go back and change my settings back and NOT make my computer variable and just not use VM work ever again. Add #5. This right here I could not figure out but why can't BOINC do all of that in V-Box? |

LHC and Rosette will not grab any V-Box work and won't tell me why. I checked all LHC and Rosette FAQs and done some of what it needs and got no were. I CAN run Mint and DOS under Windows V-Box. So AMD-V is enabled. If there's a log that I can enable to help me find out why it won't run any V-Box work. I used the BOINC bundle. Note: Some one told me it could be WSL but uninstalled and that's not the case. Hyper-V is not installed. 3/10/2024 8:58:57 PM | | Starting BOINC client version 7.24.1 for windows_x86_64 I get this in my notification "VirtualBox jobs require hardware acceleration support. Your processor does not support the required instruction set". |

From Google AI answer you also need to enable IOMMU in the UEFI along with virtualization to get Oracle VM Virtual Box to work. IOMMU is set to auto. I'm setting not to get work except for LHC AND wait. I've did get work for LHC SSE2 and AVX. |

You have to install and configure cvmfs and install runc. Not installing anything if LHC didn't install itself. And I don't know what your talking about? And it's not in the FAQ for any cvmfs. I'm using V-BOX 7.0.6 which is bundled with BOINC 7.24.1. Running Windows 11. With AMD-V enabled. V-Box is running other OS just fine. |

Well if you don't know what it is then I have no idea. The LHC FAQ says nothing about it that I can fine. Just the AMD-V. |

Just to eliminate it from possibilities, how much memory have you allowed BOINC to use? 32 Gigs. |

Message 113556 Posted 5 Feb 2024 by Sandman192 |
Just to clarify, this is Rubning Mint within VirtualBox, and trying to get work from within that instance? Or is this something else? Yes, Mint is running within VirtualBox. |
