The Scottish Boinc Team

Keep up good work, lads. I wish I didn't drop my bunker before challange started. But lesson learnt.
I hope we will win.

You guys rock. I don't know how many bunkers you have got. You just crushed competition.

Thanks for explanation, david.
I will do my best to avoid any cock up during next challenge.

What about WU with 'validation pending' status? Do they count?

So it turns out I am not that all green when it comes to participating in team challenge.

Optimised A@H is fast. I crack one WU in about 33minutes. So maybe nothing is lost.

40k+ worth of credit uploaded before challenge started

Just because firewall rules wasn't saved and got wiped out after sudden reboot.

I started bunkering again but I guess it's bit too late. Damn...

Cheers, scole.

Time to play a little bit with it.

I am all in.

Stock intel cpu coolers won't keep an i7 cool, not if it's got turbo enabled and you run it wide open. You'll need something like a Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO or better. I almost binned a socket 1155 board and i7-3770 because I used the stock cooler and It couldn't cope. And I thought -at first- th...

When check stats for example universe@home I get empty sigature.

I'll let my self to ask yet another question.

I had some troubles recently with boincstats not working properly. This has been sorted however signature for certain projects is displayed like this

Any ideas how to resolve it?

Two weeks is a long time. I am wondering if they are relocating/upgrade actual server room.

Stock intel cpu coolers won't keep an i7 cool, not if it's got turbo enabled and you run it wide open. You'll need something like a Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO or better. I had everything enabled :lol: I wouldn't try overclocking unless I had better PSU. Anyway, new cooler is on the way (Arctic Free...

Is your CPU always under 100% load? I didn't realize there was another way to run them ... learn something new every day :o :lol: I don't know where this question came from. BTW I got my i7-4770 and test run with old Intel CPU cooler. Works fine but hits 92 degrees under full load :shock:

Then you should await arrival of a real expert :P I use this for all my Linux machines but, thinking of it, I have already given them all a password for remote access (I'd replace passwd with that password). On Linux, I give a password by sudo echo -n myPassword >/usr/lib/boinc/gui_rpc_auth.cfg sud...

Code: Select all

I need some clarification with the syntax of the command, david.
The host is VPS and I assume I must put its IP address, right? If so, terminal throws same error as in the subject but with number 102 instead.

Hi all, I stopped some projects from receiving more work on one of my host through boinstats and now when I try to check status on of onging tasks with boinccmd --get_state all I get is Authorization failure: -155 No matter if I run this command as root or sudoer, results are the same. I checked BOI...

Does above apply to headless installation of Ubuntu/Debian?

Hi guys,

Would this command

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/boinc-client status

be appropriate for starting boinccmd after using command --quit

Thanks, Bryan. I'm happy to hear I am not alone.

BTW, the new PSU fixed the random and increasingly frequent reboots. Stable is good.

Good to hear you have it under control. Is your CPU always under 100% load?

What socket Hal? It was Intel® Core™ i3-2100 on 1155. I didn't even use full potential of the rig. When I got my hands on it I was still trying to figure out how to cruch properly on this PC. Until I decided to replenish thermal paste on CPU. I dropped CPU on the socket when removing it and damaged...

What about tweaking amount of WU stored? I read somewhere that if you set those values too hight you might end up in WU not finishing on time.

Speaking of optimalization I went for fastets one based results.

Random reboots are still better than dead motherboard/CPU. Got new motherboard cheap and now hunting for decent CPU.

guys and happy crunching.

Optimisiation for Acoustics@home works well.

Will we see more projects getting similair updates?

Hello all, Sorry for lashing out in my last post. I just had few stressful weeks. Speaking of BOINC stats, as I was not getting nowhere despite following you advice. It would have worked if I had given boincstats some time to update everything. So to resolve the issue I detached all projects, rename...

I am sorry guys, but I am giving up on boincstats temporarily. I really appreciate your help and efforts to help me out. My level of anger and frustration reached maximum. So not to get things worse I stop caring about stats atm. I can still see my stats on free-dc. I will focus on crunching project...

Thanks for clarification, Bryan.

Let's see what is going to happen.

The way to correct that is to take a machine or two and run a few WU on one of the projects that is appearing correctly. Then take those machines and detach/reattach to one of the projects not showing correctly. Run a few WU on the bad project. On the next stats update or the one after that the CPI...

Hi guys, I changed recently email ion boincstats.com. Not all the projects got updated so I had to to do it manually. Now I have only 3 out of 14 projects visible in my profile. Additionally when checking Universe@home signature I got 'Invalid ID'. And my total points are completely wrong (signature...

Nice one. Just have been looking at Formula Boinc . Looks promising for TSBT

So we are we atm?

And you can take the 'Max 8 GB' with a very big grain of salt. My J5005 Linux Mint system runs with 16GB, just because 32 GB is too expensive. Dirk, Was yours custom build?

Dirk,

Was yours custom build?

Make sure that "Virtualization" is turned on in BIOS. It's on Are you using Virtual Box from the repository, or did you download it from Oracle? Did you install BOINC in the User directory, or did you let the repository install BOINC into /var/lib/boinc-client? Make sure -in either case- ...

Hello,

BOINC complains that Virtualbox is not installed.
It is installed, I am added to vbox group, OS is Debian 9.

Should I modify project's xml file to rectify this error?

Here's another example of SBC

Would it be good for BOINC crucnching?

Having lost two ATX PSUs within about 10 days, I am realising the wisdom the old adage ... "To buy cheap is to buy dear" These were (ostensibly) 750W Ace PSU but both were fried in pretty lo-spec systems I already have a couple of Kolink modular ones and really like the fact that most of ...

If it's Linux it will generally swap pretty well, but it does seem to be sensitive to network drivers, especially wifi ones. I had installed Liquorix kernel before I put HDD in another PC. So maybe because of that. Similar problem appeared on Linux Mint when using untested kernel (laptop freezing r...

Strangely I started having some troubles with the PC and I was forced to reinstall OS.
Anyway, thanks for your replies.

I'm no expert but I reckon an unhappy OS would have let you know by now. I would suggest re-running Boinc's CPU benchmarks though as this can affect the credits scored. Best to do this with hyperthreading turned off. Then re-enable after benchmarking Could elaborate on CPU benchmarking? Is there an...

Hello, So, I had old Intel i3 and was running BOINC on Debian based OS. Stupidly, I managed to damage CPU socket and decided to put hard drive in another PC with Intel Core Duo. All worked fine. Underpowered but worked. Shortly after that I got hold of PC with AMD CPU and swapped HDD again. Still wo...

I thought exactly the same. If this happened I would suspect it could exhaust all projects within hours.

Any ideas why?
