Message 114121 Posted 11 Jun 2024 by Jean-David |
Now it says there are three notices, but the Boinc manager exits without a word if I select the tab. Where in the file system are the notices kept? I should look at them, their ownership, and permissions. I rummaged around in /var/lib/boinc/notices but it does not seem to be what I thought. |

I set the Boinc Manager process to simple view and asked for Notices and it crashed just like the advanced view does. |

To me it feels a bit like the bug that would crash the manager when switching from simple to advanced view. I just tried that, switching from advanced view to simple view (or whatever they are called) and then back to advanced view and it worked with no trouble. |

I am running Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.10 (Ootpa) on a Dell computer.CPU type GenuineIntel Intel(R) Xeon(R) W-2245 CPU @ 3.90GHz [Family 6 Model 85 Stepping 7] Number of processors 16 Operating System Linux Red Hat Enterprise Linux Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.10 (Ootpa) [4.18.0-553.el8_10.x86_64|libc 2.28] BOINC version 7.20.2 Memory 125.08 GB Cache 16896 KB I am running boinc version 7.20.2 from EPEL that is the latest version available from them for my system. Now I run the boinc manager almost all the time and it works fine unless I select the top left tab that currently says Notices (2). When I select that, the boinc manager seems to vanish and stops runing. Wondering if something went wrong with the code, I re-installed the boinc manager from the .rpm and it made no difference. Is it just me, or do thers have this problem too? In any case, what do I do to fix it? |

The update process now seems to work normally on Lunar with 7.23.0. Also at least one other user has reported it working on the CPDN fora with Arch Linux. And here on Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.7 (Ootpa) with 7.20.2. |

I raised my RAM to 128 GBytes so I would have enough room to do the larger Oifs work units, and now I am not getting any, Sigh! I know. I am sorry I did not make that clear. But I cannot even get the Projects tab of the Boinc manager to display the current up-to-date results for climateprediction.net on my Linux machine. My Windows machine has that right. |

As Jean-David Beyer pointed out on the CPDN site, these certificate files are actually incredibly simple: just chunks of plain ASCII, concatenated one after the other. If you break the[m] up into single certificate files, even a home version of Windows (sorry!) will decode and display the details - provider, period of validity, and so on. Some months ago, the Rosetta project could not download anything to my Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.7 (Ootpa) machine (it may have been a slightly earlier release at the time). I updated all the certificate stuff on my machine, but nothing actually changed other than the dates of some of the files were made the current date. But the content was unchanged and it did not cure the problem. I then did a Reset Project on Rosetta on the theory that something was wrong on my machine, but that did not work either. Doing that, Rosetta created the files that were needed, but they were all empty. I posted on the Rosetta board where complaints should go, but nothing came of it. I wondered if any human was running Rosetta at all. They sure did not read their Crunching board. Then several months later, Rosetta started working again with no action on my part. I hope it does not take months to solve this here. My guess is that Rosetta did not update their certificate when the existing one expired. It all works just fine on my Windows 10 machine (other than lack of work units, which is no big deal). I raised my RAM to 128 GBytes so I would have enough room to do the larger Oifs work units, and now I am not getting any, Sigh!

For me, the "Home Page" resolves to www.climateprediction.net and everything of interest is at www.cpdn,org. And www.cpdn.org is down. The link to the real home page seems to resolve to the www.climateprediction.net now, but that is not where my browser wants to go. It wants to go to www.cpdn.org. So perhaps this home page is a fall-back address in the DNS somewhere.https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/cpdn.org?www=1 Is Cpdn.org down? Checking if cpdn.org is down or it is just you... It's not just you! cpdn.org is down. |
| 14) Message boards : Questions and problems : Is there a way to get BOINC to give priority to Tasks with short "time to deadline"?
Message 107785 Posted 10 Apr 2022 by Jean-David |
Pore example, only CPDN set absurd deadline CPDN deadlines were not absurd. They may be a little long these days with faster machines, and shorter work-units, so perhaps they could be cut in half, or even to 25%. Mine currently take 4 to 8 days, depending on what work units I get. But a new set of work units (OpenIFS -- not yet available) might take a long time. I am told they are RAM hogs. In the past, there were many CPDN tasks (most of them) that took several months to complete on the machine I had. It had two Xeon processors that ran at 3.06 GHz, which was as fast as I could get at the time. It had 8GBytes of RAM that was considered a lot in those days. |
| 15) Message boards : Questions and problems : boinc cliend does not start correctly
Message 106586 Posted 28 Dec 2021 by Jean-David |
Whatta mess! After a lot of spinning wheels, splitting hairs, and so on, I gave up and removed the boinc-client and boinc-manager and replaced them with the same thing I already had. I had the rpms on hand. Then I could get the boinc-client and boinc manager up, with no tasks in the machine (as I had left it) with no new tasks for anything. The system still got mad at me with errors every second or two. This system runs with systemd and SELinux (security enhanced Linux) and it is very fussy. Even the super-user cannot do things. So I cleaned up a few rules and got it going. I then enabled new tasks for universe (because I do not care what happens to it) and it failed to download any, though it acquired a nice list trying to download. I then set the system to check and relabel all the files with SELinux (which involves a reboot), and that helped a lot more. So now I have it running. If it does all right with those, I may let another project run next. WCG, probably. Then I have to remember how to tell systemd to start the boinc client on boot. But I have done that before, so I suspect I will be able to do it again. But a day wasted on a 15-minute job. |

I run Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.5 (Ootpa) and have been running BOINC for years. Today I had to reorganize my hard drives and moved the boinc stuff from one partition to another. That looked OK. First, I stopped the boinc client, and that worked. # systemctl stop boinc-client.service Then I moved the files. When I try to start the client, I do this # systemctl start boinc-client Dec 27 10:02:58 localhost systemd[1]: Started Berkeley Open Infrastructure Network Computing Client. Dec 27 10:03:08 localhost boinc[465491]: 27-Dec-2021 10:03:08 Another instance of BOINC is running.

I have no idea what to do next. |
