1) Message boards : Questions and problems : and now for something completely different. (Message 38594) Posted 20 Jun 2011 by Hammeh Post: Would setting your cache to 0.0 days not fix this issue?
2) Message boards : Questions and problems : Ubuntu 10.04.2 64-bit CUDA tasks never start (Message 38531) Posted 17 Jun 2011 by Hammeh Post: I'll give it a go. Do I need to uninstall the current boinc client before installed the new one? (Current one is from ubuntu repos) Thanks Peter
3) Message boards : Questions and problems : Ubuntu 10.04.2 64-bit CUDA tasks never start (Message 38524) Posted 17 Jun 2011 by Hammeh Post: Reading through the trak ticket, seems like this is a common problem. Is there a fix? Peter
4) Message boards : Questions and problems : Ubuntu 10.04.2 64-bit CUDA tasks never start (Message 38518) Posted 17 Jun 2011 by Hammeh Post: Typing into the terminal works and will pause the task. Running ldd -r /usr/bin/boinc \| grep -i xss Gives no output so I'm guessing it is the bug in question. I upgraded my ubuntu so BOINC is now running 6.10.59 and nvidia driver 270.41.06. Peter
5) Message boards : Questions and problems : Ubuntu 10.04.2 64-bit CUDA tasks never start (Message 38503) Posted 16 Jun 2011 by Hammeh Post: 1. And under the Activity tab you have set "Run based on preferences"? 2. Are you using a USB mouse? If so then be aware that in the past there has been a problem detecting user activity on Linux by detecting mouse movement and keyboard input. See trac ticket [trac]ticket:463[/trac] if you're interested in the details. If you ARE using a USB mouse then open a terminal and enter ldd -r /usr/bin/boinc \| grep -i xss That will check to see if your version of BOINC has the latest fix for the USB mouse detection. If it does then the output from the above command will be a line like libXss.so.1 => /usr/lib/libXss.so.1 (0xb74f9000) Please copy and paste that line (if present) in a post here. If that line is not present then you need to update to a more recent version of BOINC or role back to an earlier version. 3. It's possible that keyboard activity detection is working. See if your GPU tasks are suspended when you open a terminal and type at the keyboard. I'm not suggesting that as a permanent solution for your problem but it may serve as a temporary solution until the problem is fixed properly. 4. I don't think this will solve your problem but you should consider updating to a more recent driver. You installed 195.36.24 but the NVIDIA driver finder page recommends 275.09.07 for your GPU. Okay thanks! Will give this a go tomorrow morning and post the results. Thanks again Peter

Just back from lunch, noticed that a task had started, but a long time after I left. Now that it is running it will not suspend again whilst the computer is in use. Peter
7) Message boards : Questions and problems : Ubuntu 10.04.2 64-bit CUDA tasks never start (Message 38487) Posted 16 Jun 2011 by Hammeh Post: Sorry if I'm missing something obvious. I'm attempting to run Primegrid PPS (Sieve) project on my Ubuntu box. I have installed the nVidia drivers (195.36.24) using the hardware installation tool on Ubuntu (10.04.2 LTS). I have the tasks set to only run when the computer is idle, however, they never start. Here is the log messages from my BOINC client, let me know if you want me to run with any more flags in cc_config!

8) Message boards : Questions and problems : BOINC accounts not merging (Message 32438) Posted 28 Apr 2010 by Hammeh Post: Hey!! I have a number of different computers currently active on several different BOINC projects. However, I seem to have multiple cross project ID's: http://boincstats.com/search/all_projects.php?cpid=c77a735bb9280dfee518465bd15cc33a http://boincstats.com/search/all_projects.php?cpid=203b93fc0db292850f70593265a9ee1a http://boincstats.com/search/all_projects.php?cpid=53b3bc11379de51a0e9f5d8d748ac885 They all use the same username and password but may have been added to projects at different times/different computers. Is there any way I can merge all these so my cross project stats will all be together? Do I need to run all of the projects for a short time on the same computer? Thanks Hammeh
9) Message boards : Questions and problems : Work wont finish in time messages (Message 25515) Posted 17 Jun 2009 by Hammeh Post: Question: Do you have any very long tasks running such as anything in the tasks tabs from Climate Prediction? There seems to be a known bug with the scheduler when very long tasks are running. For me if I suspend CPDN, and update, tasks are downloaded normally.
10) Message boards : Questions and problems : Boinc, installed, worked fine, in screensaver mode blocked computer... (Message 25424) Posted 14 Jun 2009 by Hammeh Post: Did you install the correct version of the BOINC client?? I have never had the issue you have described. You could try installing one of the older versions of BOINC, such as 6.4.7 if you tried to use a 6.6.x client, this might help. What operating system are you using on the computer? Could also be an issue with the hard drive itself, I would run some checks on it to make sure it is ok.
11) Message boards : Questions and problems : Fastest CUDA device? (Message 25308) Posted 9 Jun 2009 by Hammeh Post: Nvidia GTX 295 which is a graphics card. Or Nvidia Tesla which is like a parallel processor.
12) Message boards : Questions and problems : Computation errors when disk-write is delayed [Linux] (Message 25306) Posted 9 Jun 2009 by Hammeh Post: Could be a problem because BOINC is not able to checkpoint. However, I am not sure exactly how the client works.
13) Message boards : Questions and problems : Rosetta@home won't download new work until out of work, starting with version 6.6 (Message 25295) Posted 8 Jun 2009 by Hammeh Post: If you are not cuda reliant then I would role back to 6.4.7 or 6.4.5. I am running Rosetta on all of my computers currently using 6.6.28 and the two versions above. I don't seem to have issues with any versions requesting work. However, I have noticed that sometimes because of bugs with the rosetta application and not the BOINC client, the Time Duration Correction factor for my PCs changes because of long running scans and therefore does not request new work for a while. It never runs out though.
14) Message boards : Questions and problems : Rosetta@home won't download new work until out of work, starting with version 6.6 (Message 25158) Posted 1 Jun 2009 by Hammeh Post: The work cache which you have set is not per project, it will include all off the projects attached to your BOINC manager. Is this your computer? It doesnt show any workunits for rosetta completed within the last 30 days if it is. Are you using any optimized applications for SETI? They have been known on my computers to mess up the debt system with other projects.
