Unable to get BONIC to use only 1 GPU
(Message 35287)
Posted 18 Oct 2010 by Raven Lunatic Post: Thank you so much! Its working perfectly now and reporting GPU1 to be ignored in the start up messages. I Just need to make sure the 9400 hasn't melted anything important. :) |

Posted 18 Oct 2010 by Raven Lunatic Post: Thanks you for your reply. BONIC version installed is 6.10.58 Windows x64 cc_config.xml now looks like this. <cc_config> <log_flags> </log_flags> <options> <ignore_cuda_dev>1</ignore_cuda_dev> </options> </cc_config> I rebooted and BONIC is still using both GFX cards. I also dont see anything in the message tab relating to disabling GPU1. Not sure why its not working. |

Unable to get BONIC to use only 1 GPU
(Message 35280)
Posted 18 Oct 2010 by Raven Lunatic Post: Hi, I have a PC with 2 GFX cards GPU0 is a nVidia 9800GTX+ which I want BONIC to use. GPU1 is a Passively cooled nVidia 9400 which I dont want Bonic to use. I tried to follow the wiki to force bonic to leave my 9400 alone by creating a cc_config.xml file and saving it to my bonic install directory c:/Program Files/Bonic/. <cc_config> <log_flags> </log_flags> <options> <<ignore_cuda_dev>1</ignore_cuda_dev> </options> </cc_config> After saving, I clicked on the Advanced tab of Bonic and made it read the local config file but it has not worked. When I unsuspended the queued work CUDA apps continue to work on both GPU's. Can anyone see what I am doing wrong or point me in the right direction? |

Problems running boinc under Vista x64
(Message 20597)
Posted 30 Sep 2008 by Raven Lunatic Post: I moved the data directory to "documents/BOINC/" when i first made an attempt to install boinc 6 as Vista doesnt like programs writing data in the programs directory. I moved the data folder to C:\Users\username\Documents\BOINC I suppose its possible that Vista is preventing the service/program from accessing the folder. I guess if BOINC manager does not have the correct permissions then it makes sense that Vista would prevent it from reading or writing to that folder. No doubt if I re-directed the data folder to C:\BOINC it would work correctly. It was just my choice of folder that caused the problem. Anyway, I dont want to tempt fate and and test this theory as BOINC is working great now. So, I will hold off writing a bug report as its probably just Vista protecting me from myself lol. Thanks again for your help. |

Posted 28 Sep 2008 by Raven Lunatic Post: Should I report this as a bug since the option to move the directory does not work in Vista x64? I changed the location of the data directory using the installer only. No dragging and dropping. I also set it back to the default directory using the same method. |

Posted 28 Sep 2008 by Raven Lunatic Post: I moved the data directory to "documents/BOINC/" when i first made an attempt to install boinc 6 as Vista doesnt like programs writing data in the programs directory. Thank you, moving the data directory back to the default has fixed the problem with no problems with UAC or program start up. Should I report this as a bug since the option to move the directory does not work in Vista x64? |

Posted 28 Sep 2008 by Raven Lunatic Post: Did you reboot the system? I moved the data directory to "documents/BOINC/" when i first made an attempt to install boinc 6 as Vista doesnt like programs writing data in the programs directory. Every time i try to re-install boinc 6 now it has the data directory in "documents". No file called RebootPending.TXT in there just a bunch of files from a boinc 5 install which i did a few hours ago which I think where moved there when i installed boinc 6 again. Reboot made no difference. Manager shows up in task bar but cannot connect to a client. |

Problems running boinc under Vista x64
(Message 20543)
Posted 28 Sep 2008 by Raven Lunatic Post: 5.10.45 was installed as a shared installation but boinc manager will not open on an account other than the one the service is running under. If i click on boinc manager under another account nothing happens. I have re-installed boinc 6. Checked windows firewall. boinccmgr.exe was already there showing as allowed. I have manually added another exception for boinc.exe and opened a port 31416 tcp as well. Still no joy. Upon checking task manager / services there is a service called BOINC which is stopped. I have tried to start this service by right clicking on it but it says not authorised. Tried via control pannel/ administrative tools/ services but get message "error 1067 the process terminated unexpectedly" Also tried turning off firewall, avast and spybot S&D with no effect. |

Posted 27 Sep 2008 by Raven Lunatic Post: I hope you didn't name yourself after the program... as it's called BOINC, not BIONIC. (It isn't Berkeley's International Open Node for Internet Computing, although that wouldn't do bad either. ;-)) 6.2.19 is enabled via windows firewall as for defender its never complained about boinc or has anything to show that its blocking it. 5.10.45 was installed as a shared installation but boinc manager will not open on an account other than the one the service is running under. If i click on boinc manager under another account nothing happens. good call on the name tho no idea why I never noticed before lol |

Posted 27 Sep 2008 by Raven Lunatic Post: I have been having multiple problems getting boinc to run under vista x64. version 6.2.19 installs but cannot connect to client even when i type localhost as the computer name. version 5.10.45 will install as a single user but cant auto start because of vista ( need to allow it to run via taskbar every time. (turning off UAC not an option) version 5.10.45 as a service runs ok but i have to log into the account the service is running on to suspend it and cant access Boinc Manager via any other account. It simply does not load. Also boinc or the applications running under boinc use all the cpu time instead of taking a lower priority to other programs. For example if I watch a DVD and dont touch the mouse boinc starts up but does not allow winDVD or any other program enough cpu time to run correctly. PC hardware : core2quad 6700 @ 2.93GHZ 8GB Ram 500GB HD 8800 GTX gfx card. windows and drivers all up to date. * Edit to change all the bionics to boinc before anyone else notices :) |
