I've been using the 64-bit Linux client from boinc.berkeley.edu. Recently, having read that the master URL for LHC had changed, I detached from LHC and then re-attached. Since then (if I don't intervene) the LHC server does not download the LHC executable for me -- instead, the server says: platform 'x86_64-pc-linux-gnu' not found. The current server software provides an <alt_platform> capability. When the project does not support the primary platform requested by the client, but an alternate has been indicated, the server would supply executables and work according to that "alt_platform". As long as LHC does not provide a "native" 64-bit Linux executable, could you please set up your server so that it can supply 'i686-pc-linux-gnu' stuff when 'x86_64-pc-linux-gnu' is requested ? mikus p.s. Before I did the detach of LHC, I was running with an app_info.xml file for LHC. It specified the 32-bit LHC executable (and caused the requested platform to be 'anonymous'). After the re-atttach, the first time I put in that file the executable did not get downloaded ("URL missing"). Have not gotten around to trying it again. I would prefer that the platform compatibility matter be resolved at the LHC project server, instead of me at my client having to manually set up an app_info.xml file for the LHC project. . |

I hope they will upgrade to the lastest BOINC server version in the near future, which handles 64bit/32bit compatibility automaticly. Linux Users Everywhere @ BOINC [url=http://lhcathome.cern.ch/team_display.php?teamid=717] |

FYI, BOINC server software in use on LHC is several YEARS old. It will probably take them quite long to migrate to the latest one, since there are so many changes... |

Isn't this a good time to get rid of old modifications and use a a Boinc server with as few modifications as possible. Would also ease future upgrades..... Kjell |
