1) Message boards : Number crunching : 30 hours of work availability - did u get some? (Message 15710) Posted 28 Nov 2006 by dbernat Post: I got a nice load of work during those 30 hours. The work that appeared on 27 November is also crunching away happily.

It does happen occasionally, including a >report of this just two days ago over on Rosetta. >Which version of the client are you using, please? Version 4.43 running in console mode. Boinc Manager starts, then stops due to failure to connect to the server.
3) Message boards : Number crunching : Reporting finished units (Message 15461) Posted 15 Nov 2006 by dbernat Post: Three units have been returned by a computer running Linux, but the results database still shows them as outstanding. Is there a particular problem with the Linux client in this regard?
4) Message boards : Number crunching : Projects to mix with LHC (Message 15431) Posted 12 Nov 2006 by dbernat Post: LHC and Climate Prediction on a 1 GHz computer LHC and SETI on a dual 2 GHz Xeon workstation LHC and SETI on a dual 595 MHz P3 workstation LHC and Einstein on a 1.7 GHz workstation LHC and SETI on a 400 MHz computer LHC and Einstein on a dual 2 GHz Xeon workstation

Sometimes the dice roll differently, and none of my machines get any work out of the current set. Rough experimentation led me to set the cache size at 3 days as being the optimal point on my work curve. Crunching on SETI, LHC, Einstein, and Climate Prediction.
6) Message boards : Number crunching : when we have news woks? (Message 15048) Posted 11 Oct 2006 by dbernat Post: Oh, I'd be happier if the 43 units were on a dual 2 GHz Xeon computer. The dice rolled differently. Crunching on......
7) Message boards : Number crunching : when we have news woks? (Message 15044) Posted 11 Oct 2006 by dbernat Post: 43 new units here.
8) Message boards : Number crunching : going, Going, ........ , GONE. (Message 12845) Posted 23 Feb 2006 by dbernat Post: I received 45 units, spread across five machines.
9) Message boards : Number crunching : Upgrading BOINC (Message 8780) Posted 21 Jul 2005 by dbernat Post: > It's not BOINC's guilt. Zone Alarm is well known for causing problems with > many other internet-related programs. I always recommend NOT to use it. Zone Alarm shows no continuous activity for BOINC 4.19. Zone Alarm did show continuous access of the Internet for BOINC 4.45. Uninstall and reinstall of BOINC 4.45 has the same pattern of continuous access recurring. Leaving BOINC 4.45 installed but shut down eliminates the continuous access symptom. It did not stop the blockage of Mozilla from loading.

BOINC 4.45 installs with a local host connection. Zone Alarm shows continuing activity on the DSL line that appears to block all other programs from accessing the Internet. Clicking on the icons for both Mozilla and IE returns a busy mouse cursor for a few seconds, reverting to the standard mouse pointer cursor. OS is Windows 2000, 512 MB of RAM.
11) Message boards : Number crunching : Upgrading BOINC (Message 8761) Posted 21 Jul 2005 by dbernat Post: I take it back. BOINC 4.45 will not allow either Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firebird to work. I'm back to BOINC 4.19 and a working browser.

13) Message boards : Number crunching : Upgrading BOINC (Message 8756) Posted 21 Jul 2005 by dbernat Post: BOINC 4.45 asks that BOINC 4.19 be uninstalled. Does uninstalling BOINC 4.19 clear out the projects folder? I don't want to lose work in progress and work in queue.
14) Message boards : Number crunching : Linux client weirdness (Message 6265) Posted 2 Mar 2005 by dbernat Post: > This is by design. The returning of work is split into two parts.

The client will report work in 3 cases. 1) More work is needed. 2) The > deadline for completed work is less than 24 hours away. 3) You do it manually > with the update_prefs switch or the update command in the GUI. All previous work on the Linux machine went through the steps automatically. This is why I'm asking.
15) Message boards : Number crunching : Linux client weirdness (Message 6262) Posted 2 Mar 2005 by dbernat Post: Three workunits finished, but failed to report or show up in the console window as having finished computing. ,/boinc_4.19_i686-pc-linux-gnu -update_prefs cleared away the finished work and got new work. Has anyone had a similar problem?

19) Message boards : Number crunching : checksum errors (Message 5729) Posted 21 Feb 2005 by dbernat Post: I'm getting a checksum error for the sixtrack 4.63 client.

20) Message boards : Number crunching : Are we wasting our time crunching some of these WU's...??? (Message 5242) Posted 19 Nov 2004 by dbernat Post: I had a tunescan that finished on 25 October. It took until yesterday to finally get the result removed from pending credits. The solution is, as far as I can tell, patience for things to happen.
