Hello,

I am using a Quad Core with Nvidia GeForce 9800GT.

I get these messages when I boot up BOINC.

THe problem is I would expect to be able to crunch 5 units at a time but I only crunch 4. The GPU isn't being used. I have set preferences in Advanced/Preferences ti crunch with GPU but this doesn't seem to work?

Any ideas?

Hello Richard,

Thanks for your help. I'll delve deeper somehow.

Any networking engineers out there who could help me out.

Might it have something to do with this:

Might this be the problem? I don't understand what these extra settings are?

No, we are not an academic institution despite the .ac suffix. The IT dept has said that they do not support BOINC.

So this is the problem then? One of those which you have mentioned. Could anything else be the problem apart from the configuration of http/SOCKS/IDs etc to be found in the ADVANCED/OPTIONS/3rd-4th TABS/ etc.

Thanks Richard,

Yes, I have tried all sorts of configerations with SOCKS and http settings and setting the port numbers with authentication and not. What sort of authentication is required? Will it be my network ID or something that only the IT dept will know?

I know the port number supplied to me by my IT dept. I have also tried setting this.

I have tried putting in my user name and password in the relevant space in ADVANCED/OPTIONS/http PROXY

but with the same response,

Hello,

I work for a large corporation. I have permission from the IT department to run BOINC software but they do not support it in any way.

I have downloaded the latest BOINC and tried to attach to different projects (SETI, World Community Grid etc) but am unable to connect. My IT dept has told me that they use a proxy server and I have set this accordingly but thid does not resolve the problem. The IT dept has told me that other people have been able to use BOINC but I am having no luck!

Any ideas?

Hello,

I now know the proxy server name. I put this into the required place in advanced/options but unfortunately it does not work. I try with and without putting paswords in. Is it important to have the port correct?

No, I'm, I'm asking if this is the problem. Is the fact that there is a proxy server present in the network I sue the problem? And if so do I simply simply select the proxy server as you suggested in your mail?

Hello,

I am trying to connect to projects (SETI and World Community Project) via BOINC. I am sure I need to go through a proxy server as where I work they have said that it is not against their policy for users to run BOINC software on works computers. But there is a proxy server to negotiate. How do I connect to the outside world via a proxy server and is this the problem I am having.

Thanks,

boinc_cmd --quit

did work but how do I start boinc_cmd up again.

How do I find boinc_cmd PID because it does not appear in 'system monitor' list or under ps command?

Dear All,

I want to stop BOINC on Linux.

This is the way I have tried.

Go to 'System Monitor' to find the PID. All I can find is Boinccmgr which is sleeping. Obviously I need to find the PID of boinc-client which is obviously the program which takes up the processor power. I don't know where to find the PID for this process. Could anybody help please.

Dear All,

I am trying to copy some files on my desktop to the following directory:

/var/lib/boinc-client/projects/.

I found that I did not have permission to copy to the projects file.

I went through the following commands.

I opened up a terminal and logged in as superuser

su

I then pointed to the projects file and then modified the ownerships with chmod

Unfortunately this did not work.

Here are the ownerships if the file projects.

dr-xr-x--x 3 boinc boinc 4096 2008-04-18 07:00 projects

This return obviously says there are three files within projects but all I find is one named setiathome.berkeley.edu

Why the mismatch?


Could anybody help me out.

Once I have changed the ownerships in order that I can copy files to it will I be able to drag and drop or will I have to use the cp command?

20) Message boards : BOINC client : Increased processing time (Message 15434)
Posted 15 Feb 2008 by Daniel Gandolfo
Post:
Hello,

I am running BOINC with SETI WU's.

Lately the processing time of one WU was about 4 hrs for the largest WU. Recently this time has gone up to 8 hrs per WU. My processors are GenuineIntel
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz [Family 6 Model 15 Stepping 11] so I would expect a much faster time than this.

Any ideas what could be the cause of the increase?
