EDF?

Or ask the author of the science application - so far as I know, Astropulse hasn't been released for PS3 by Berkeley.


They show where to get the Application from though and they send you the Astropulse Wu's for a PS3 whether Berkely has released it or not for a PS3 ... :)

And why isn't it switching between the 2 Wu's ? As far as I can tell it isn't hung, the Progress % keeps going up as it should.

I'll post about it at Seti though as much as I hate to have anything to do with the Forums over there ...

I have a Astropulse Wu running on my PS3 Box that has been running for 17 hour's now without switching over to the Yoyo Wu that's been waiting to run. Both Projects have an equal Resource Share & my Preferences are set to switch between Projects every 240 Minutes ... ???

According to PoorBoy in this thread BV can see and report tasks on remote machines but it can't force a project update on a 6.3.10 client.


Actually BView can only Monitor or see the Wu's on the 6.3.10 Client Box, it can't do anything else like Report or Update, just Monitor the Box.

I have had some contact from GDF at the PS3 Project, he basically told me to use the "forgot password" feature ... LOL ... I told him I've been down that road about a dozen times already with no reply from the Project or any thing sent to me.

My ISP isn't blocking mail from the Project either because GDF's e-mail got thru to me ok with him using the ps3grid@gmail.com address. I'm waiting for his reply now ... :)

Post:
Boinc 6.2.18, Seti@home, AMD quad core, 4GB RAM, Vista SP1
Any information on why/how boinc may cause the system to hangup & reboot? This seems to be the problem app (I turned off the screensaver mode.) Reducing the resources to <= 90% and only running on 3 out of 4 cores seems to help (time will tell.) Any solutions would be welcome so I can get the most out of my new PC. TIA.


Sounds like the CPU may be over heating or maybe some other part of the system (Memory, NorthBridge Chip etc), if you don't already have a good CPU Temp Monitor then try to get one, I can't recommend a AMD CPU Monitor as I run strictly Intel's but if you do a little Google searching you should be able to come up with one ...

I fired off a friendly letter (at least I hope it was) to GDF at the PS3 Project, so will have to wait and see if he responds or not ... :)

If that doesn't work I'll contact DA personally & see if he can do anything for me ... :)

PS: well that didn't take long to find out it wasn't going to work:

You can not create an account on PS3 using your regular e-mail address - the project replies "Already used".


Yes exactly, now your starting to understand my problem ... ;) ... I can create another Account with the name PoorBoy if I want but I have to use some other E-Mail Adress than what my CPID is linked to at all the other Projects.

So if I do that the Credits I earn would go to the other e-mail account and not my regular Acccount.

If current PoorBoy (or any other account) uses your regular e-mail address, following this advice you should get the temporary login link to that PS3 account emailed. Have you tried it there? Let me try it for you... "Instructions have been emailed to *****@xxxxxxx.nnn."

Peter


Yes I've tried that already a half dozen times & I get that message too but never get anything just like other projects that I've tried it at ... Some projects that works others it doesn't, apparently it doesn't at the PS3 Project. I've had an e-mail going to be mailed to me 4 or 5 times now from the PS3 Project but have yet to recieve anything ...

I've already tried to use my normal e-mail address & it won't let me use it because it's in use already ... The Current Poorboy has the right e-mail address (Or somebody's using it) it's the password that's the problem, I don't know what it is so I can't access the account.

Yes I could do that but it still wouldn't solve my main problem & that is to get my normal e-mail address back to use with my normal Nick of PoorBoy. I can create another PoorBoy Account but it would have to be with a different e-mail address so then any work I did do would go under that account and not my normal account.

Email David about it, present you case in a concise manner and hope for the best.


Yes I suppose I could do that, I'll wait a few days & see what happens @ the PS3 Site & if anybody from there replys. I want to try the GPU part & have a Box set up to run the Wu's if I could get my normal Account back.

I also have a PS3 sitting here in a box that I'm going to try & get ready today to try the PS3 Part of the project but without my normal e-mail address I won't run the Project so i'll just be a waste of time & money if that doesn't happen.

I don't care about the Team under my name, a lot of the Projects have a PoorBoyzToyz Team with me as the Founder but I'm not even a member of those Teams. I just had them created to keep somebody else from using that name or maybe in the future join back up & use them myself.

Is it still possible to create multiple accounts with the same name? If yes and PS3Grid admin(s) will not respond, you could create another PoorBoy over there, let him join PoorBoyzToyz too and ask for team foundership transfer (and hope nobody is playing cat-and-mouse games with you :)

I can create another PoorBoy Account but it would have to be with a different e-mail address so then any work I did do would go under that account and not my normal account.

The only way I know of getting it back which I've had to do at several projects now is for somebody associated with the project to send me the Account Key so I can access the Account and change the Password to my normal password. Unless somebody from the Project does that then I can't get me normal e-mail address back.

Joining a Team and asking for the founder-ship of the Team is about a waste of time too, I've been doing that for 2 or 3 month's now over at the Magnetism Project with out any success, and even if I did get it all I could do is kick the original Poorboy off the Team but I still wouldn't have my project wide e-mail address back that way either ... LOL, kick myself off a Team, I like that idea even if it doesn't solve my problem ... ;)

Apparently nobody's home @ the PS3 Project, I still have no e-mail from them of response in the Forum, I've had the same problem over @ the Magnetizm Project ever since it's inception. Although there I was able to create my normal Account but still haven't been able to gain Control or Founder-ship of a Team I supposedly created but am not Administrator for.

I also posted @ the Magnetizm Project about the Project Aborting Wu's on my computers that were 100% done and when they reported to the Project the Project Aborted them, didnn't say it didn't need them or anything just up and Aborted them as they Reported. I posted about that 18 days ago & still have no response from the Project ...

I don't even know if a team has been made with me on it, I haven't recieved any notice if it has @ the PS3Grid Project

Ah... that may be a problem with the BOINC Wide teams site, where you have to validate your email address every so often. Don't ask me why, I really haven't a clue, but I have to revalidate my email address every so often, else I won't get any further notices.

Saying that, tonight I got one from project Pathfinder, whose server is down already. Seems to be something new: send out the emails and take the server down. Or use the internal IP address 192.168.x.x ;-)


Okay I did that tooo but don't know if it'll do any good @ the PS3 Site now anymore ... I even added the ps3grid.org address to my mail program as a friend and to allow e-mail from in case it was blocking mail from the site.

They can't do that as it may be compromised. So what you do is this:
When you get an email of a project that your team is made at such&so, you go to their site, your account. It'll ask you to log in, you can't as you don't know your password (I don't think there is a password even).

If you now click on the small blue link "forgot password?", you go to a new page where you can fill in your email address. Do so and project such&so will send you an email with a link in it that can be used for 1 day. Click the link in the email, you get transported to your account, where you can change your password, your nick to Billy-Bob and shirt colour to blueish orange.


I've tried that "forgot password" thing already several times today since early this morning but have recieved nothing from them, and no Mod's or Dev's have responded either.

I've tried that "forgot password" at several other projects and have never got anything from them either so thats about usless most of the time ...

I don't even know if a team has been made with me on it, I haven't recieved any notice if it has @ the PS3Grid Project, all I know is my normal e-mail address has been used already & I don't know the password for the account it's being used on ...

PS: I did a search over @ the PS3 site and a Team has been formed with me on it as the Founder ...

If you mean over at the BOINC Teams site then no, it doesn't give me that option. If I try to recreate my PoorBoy account it won't go thru unless I specify a password.

Thats what I don't understand about the BOINC Teams creating a password that you don't know what it is. I know I used a password to create my account there & assumed any Team and or accounts it created would use the same Password but apparently not.

PS: I re-created my PoorBoy Account using a password, went into the Account and I don't see anything that gives me the option to forgo a password ... ???

You should change your email address and password at all your projects


I can't & I won't do that, whats done is done & if somebody wants to mess with my Accounts then that would give me the excuse I think I've been looking for to just chuck it all and say the H with BOINC.

I'm so feed up with the BS & Ineptitude that goes on at a lot of the Projects that I don't really care anymore. Even with my investment into my Farm I don't think I'd have any problems walking away from it all and never looking back.

Some of the Projects I've been involved in are no longer even in existence & I can't even get into the Accounts at those Projects. So if I start run around and start changing things at the other Projects my Credits would get all messed up so either way I'd be screwed up ...
