1) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : Boinc waits 1 hour before starting the next WU (Message 7572) Posted 10 May 2005 by Hermes Post: > Are your preferences the same for all projects?

I am starting the command line client manually and control ist with BoincView from a Windows Computer in my local Network.

4) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : LHC and Predictor don't get along (Message 6957) Posted 11 Apr 2005 by Hermes Post: > Try to reset the lhc@home project. > Make sure you get version 4.66 of sixtrack. I got sixtrack 4.66 now, but it also got mixed up with mfold. It went even so far as to Boinc claiming to have P@H running and counting up the CPU-time, but in the process list the running process was sixtrack. and now my mfold WUs end with "process got signal 6".
5) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : LHC and Predictor don't get along (Message 6887) Posted 8 Apr 2005 by Hermes Post: I have encountered an unknown number of problems this night. On my first Linux computers was a Predictor@home workunit running, when Boinc started sixtrack. Even though Boinc claimed to pause P@H the mfold-client continued to run. The CPU-Time of the Predictor WU was reset to zero, the progress continued at the same percentage. My second Linux machine had a paused Predictor WU with about an hour CPU-Time, when Boinc paused Einstein to start a LHC WU. Again the CPU-Time of the Predictor WU was reset to zero. And now the CPU-time used by the sixtrack-program ist added to the Predictor WU. Software Versions: Boinc: 4.27 Sixtrack: 4.63 mfoldB125: 4.27 1. Computer: Knoppix 3.4, Kernel 2.4.26 2. Computer: Fedora Core 3, Kernel: 2.6.10-1.770_FC3
