| 21) Message boards : Questions and problems : Boinc - manager screws up video on RPi 4

It's a well known bug in Bookworm. Lots of reports on the issue. I have it too. You can try resizing the window to clear it. I can get even if the initial Manager window opens up legibly, but as soon as I change Manager tabs, the window distorts. https://www.reddit.com/r/BOINC/comments/1afsper/boinc_manager_notices_shows_garbage_on_debian/ |

Message 114370 Posted 29 Jul 2024 by Keith Myers

I'd suggest you contact the developers at the GPUGrid project. All of their apps are python based. They are experts at setting up a python environment and Boinc wrapper on client machines. It seems to be as simple as packaging a LARGE python environment for downloading as a task and simply, unpacking it and executing the included python scripts in the package. |

I ran DOS >> Windows 3.0 >> OS/2 Warp > eComstation>> Ubuntu 10 >> Windows 7 >> Ubuntu 18 thru Ubuntu 24 My forays into Windows world lasted for only a year or two each time. My times with OS/2 Warp/eComstation lasted ten years. Ubuntu for over ten years now. |

Don't use the Mesa OpenCL drivers. Use the official AMD ones. |

On Ubuntu 24.04 using a Chromium browser, I do NOT have the left-hand target anchor points you mention. There is no navigation to any section at all. It just is one monolithic page and useless as commented. |

The 8.0.2 version of the BOINC client has been released for all platforms. Download it <a href=https://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php>here</a>. Release notes are <a href=https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/wiki/Client-release-notes>here</a>. So why no Linux ARM64 packages available? Just for amd64? |

So no ARM64 versions of Boinc 8.0? |

Don't know what NAS software he runs, but one of my teammates runs his homeserver NAS on BOINC Docker. So likely it is possible depending on your NAS repos. |

That would involve a lot more coding for the schedulers to figure out if an app is capable of running on the Boinc reported hardware. And Boinc does not report gpu hardware correctly or in enough depth to know what's on a host. For gpus it only reports the most capable gpu in multi-gpu hosts. And unless you are running very up to date Boinc clients, the client doesn't even report the correct amount of VRAM on Nvidia cards. So to answer your question, no you are in fact naive about Boinc's capabilities. |

I am not enthusiastic about running software downloaded from a random site I never heard of especially with no documentation or description. Then don't use it and continue to try and wrangle the distro repository versions of Boinc into submission. My previous posts tell the documentation and description of the AIO. I think the AIO is a valid, no hassle choice. Just giving you more options that is all. |
| 34) Message boards : GPUs : How can i disable the iGPU?
Message 113933 Posted 22 Apr 2024 by Keith Myers

I assume you mean disable the usage of the igpu for Boinc? You will have to be more specific if the igpu is the only video output for your AIO or whether it also contains a discrete gpu for monitor driving. If the igpu is the only video device you can't disable it in the BIOS because it drives the monitor of the AIO. If that is the case, then you must have to either configure every gpu project compute preferences to NOT use the igpu of the AIO, whether being Intel, AMD, or Nvidia flavor in the settings. You can also suspend use of the gpu in the Boinc Manager via the Activity menu. But that is for just the current session and will reset to enabled upon reboot of the AIO and restart of Boinc I believe. |

Yes, Asteroids@home project utilizes an avx512 application for period_search. https://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/apps.php I run their app on my two AMD 7950X hosts. Primegrid is another. https://www.primegrid.com/home.php There are probably other math projects also. |

Or just install Noble alongside your existing installation instead of upgrading in place. I haven't broken an existing upgrade in place so far. Knocking on wood now. Ha ha LOL. I"ve even managed to snag two required dependencies from Noble that I needed to upgrade to the latest 6.9.0-rc kernels from the Mainline PPA in my Ubuntu 23.10 installations without breaking anything. A complete kludge fix that has worked out. |

No, you could use a max_concurrent statement separately for each task type in an app_config.xml file. Just put in two separate <app_version> statements. https://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Client_configuration#Application_configuration |
