The Scottish Boinc Team

Yieks! Finally!

I am chuffed to bits

I like avatars. I like rank avatars as well. It was my shy thought about resizing or hiding them.

Will try to check over the weekend that add-on you mention about, David.

Another thing I think would need improvements or modifications. User avatars are smaller thank rank avatars when browsing forum on smartphone.

Would be nice to display them as smaller avatars, as text or not at all.

What do you say, lads?

Sweet. Board looks the way I like.

Many thanks, admins.

Would be great if other members of TSBT shared their views as well.

Dear TSBT admins,

I was wondering if it's possible for registered users to hide 'Forum rules' red banner and 'Announcments'.

I read them, I'm familiar with them and I don't want to see them again.

Things would look little bit neater.

What do you say?

We had some newcomers but they remain quiet. What about remainder via email?

Is there any optimized app for this project?

I better clean my visor next time :-D

I hope I am not late for the challenge. Should I start bunkering now?

PS
Invitation code, please.

Cheers to that, Pete

Hi Techiebelle.

Welcome to TSBT.

What exactly TN-Grid is crunching?

I revised settings and all works fine.

Yes, Alez. The host I was talking about is a headless server.
Using Boinctasks sounds like a good plan. I will look into it later.

So how can I force for example LHC or Cosmology run only 2 cores out whatever I have and allow other projects run WU on all cores available?

Well, well, well. Seems like TSBT is gaining on popularity.
Welcome to TSBT, Mook.

Healthy score, Seb James. Welcome on board.

Hi guys, I have seperate computing preferences for each project preassigned for each host. For some reason one of my hosts is utilising only 2 cores out of 4. Below is copy of global_prefs.xml file <global_preferences> <source_project>http://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/</source_project> <source_schedu...

Nice to see myself closing the marathon :lol: I beg to differ. There are 572 people in this challenge. A great effort all round guys :clap: :clap: :clap: Considering MUMPS could go full on nuclear and outcrunch us altogether, I think 7 of us in 2nd position is a team effort to be proud of.

It's right time to close this thread. It turned out that 'lockfile' was responsible for authorization failure. I deleted 'lockfile' from both home and from /var/lib/boinc-client directories and restarted boinc-client. According to some various threads on different forums (I'd forgotten to take a not...

I reckon they must be an electricity supply company or have a field full of wind turbines

Very fortunate pal, indeed.

It's been a while, Dirk, since your last update. Any luck?

No sir ... about 1/2. Less than that if he went into "battle" mode.

Yet, he did it would not scare TSBT off.

BTW is this guy's home a server room

?

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.

davidBAM wrote: ↑Tue Feb 12, 2019 5:13 pm It'll surprise you how quickly they build up with the optimised apps - three times faster on my machines

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.
