1) Message boards : BOINC Manager : BOINC Manager Doesn't Appear - 6.6.31 Linux 64Bit (Message 25438) Posted 14 Jun 2009 by Mark Bennison Post: You are right! 6.6.36 is the version that is in testing. I installed 6.6.31 when it was the recommended version (for Linux 64bit) and now we have gone back to 6.4.5. No matter - I have client 6.6.31 crunching away and talking to manager 6.4.5. All seems well. I will await a new release of both before updating and seeing if the original problem is fixed! Cheers, Mark.

I note that 6.6.31 for Linux has moved back to "use only for testing". Are there other issues I should worry about? The client seems to be happy... :-)

3) Message boards : BOINC Manager : BOINC Manager Doesn't Appear - 6.6.31 Linux 64Bit (Message 25175) Posted 2 Jun 2009 by Mark Bennison Post: Just updated both the client and the manager to the latest 64 bit version for Linux - 6.6.31. The client is working fine however whenever I start the BOINC manager nothing happens. I look at the running processes and I see boincmgr in state futex_wait. I wait but it doesn't do anything and so I kill it. There's nothing I can see in the system logs and if I go back to the previous version of the manager I had installed (6.4.5) it works fine. Anyone else see this behaviour? Anything I can check? Anyone have a solution? Specs: Client/Manager 6.6.31 on Ubuntu 9.04 64bit, Q6600, 8GB RAM Cheers, Mark.

4) Message boards : BOINC client : NO CUDA DEVICE FOUND (Message 24232) Posted 11 Apr 2009 by Mark Bennison Post: Under Ubuntu I don't have the console.perms.d in /etc/security. I had a look in an old bootchart image I had (when I was trying to sort out slow booting) and I note that boinc starts up pretty early so I guess that may be an issue however within /etc/udev the nvidia device is set in 40-permissions.rules, but there's no mode set. Boinc is in 50-boinc-client.rules. I thought that the sequencing of these was monotonic - that is 40-* would be read before 50-*? I tried to add a MODE="0666" to the nvidia* line but nothing changed

5) Message boards : BOINC client : NO CUDA DEVICE FOUND (Message 24199) Posted 10 Apr 2009 by Mark Bennison Post: Hmmm... My method doesn't survive a reboot. On logging on I not the message say I have no CUDA devices. If I then stop/start boinc I do. Any ideas why? Couldn't see anything in the log files

6) Message boards : BOINC client : NO CUDA DEVICE FOUND (Message 24191) Posted 9 Apr 2009 by Mark Bennison Post: For Ubuntu 8.10: 1. As mentioned in the previous post, put a link to libcudart.so in the BOINC client's data area - for me this is /var/lib/boinc-client 2. See what group the video card is in: ls -l /dev/nvidia*. For me this was owner=root, group=video 3. Add the group of the video device to the user boinc: sudo usermod -G video boinc 4. Restart BOINC: sudo /etc/init.d/boinc-client stop then sudo /etc/init.d/boinc-client start As metioned check the messages in the manager window - you should hopefully see CUDA Devices Found
