One system up and running. Just updating Lubuntu on it. Pretty simple fix.
Second one has every single diagnostic light on. Could be more challenging. Got the i5 system to construct as well.
Cores, never enough cores ....

did you go with Ubuntu 18.10 on anything ?

I'm tied up until the sometime on the 19th running a team challenge for SUSA - Acoustics. Then I'll switch WCG.
I'm going to try sneaking up on Mumps. I started 2 days late and I was making headway until he noticed and he talked about putting some more cores on it. So today I caught the #2 guy and said on the SUSA forums that since I was in that spot I was going to cut back. The reality is I found on the Acoustics forum that the app is 35% faster on Windows so I switched over. Now I have to get past the fee you have to pay to Mr. Pending before you can get traction. With any luck I can surprise Mumps.
BTW, when we start WCG I will have retired 72 threads so my normal run rate on WCG will be down.

If anyone in the UK is looking for Android devices to crunch WCG on, these work well and the price is right. They are Android 4.4 so you can install Native Boinc on them. These are the S812 chip.

Is there a new version of Boinc from Berkeley yet that runs on ANdroid 5.+ and allows remote connections?

I've still got 5 droid systems, a server and the new i5 to get online before the kick off. Spent all day today at a hospital so not much progress so far.
[mention]davidBAM[/mention] I have M8's , they are good systems but the power supply with the units are shit. For 24/7 crunching they need to be min 2A or they die very quickly. I have 2 systems that need new PSU's and I think all the old toast rack have finally killed their SD cards.

11k complete. Hopefully twice that for the drop.

As of an hour ago I'm back on WCG but I'm running open. I have to get my machines trusted again since I had some WU on each machine go past their deadlines.

How long is it until trusted. My systems are 7 days in and still throwing pendings. Thought it was less than that.

You become trusted when 14-15 consecutive WU validate. If you loaded up with a bunch of WU before you were trusted then they stay that way even if you become trusted. The best way is to set your resource share to .01/.01 so WCG only gives you enough WU to match your threads. Once trusted you can open it up.
Even after becoming trusted it occasionally issues 4-5 WU that requre a wingman so it can check that you should still be trusted.

Yup, you have all taught me well. At least bunkering gives me a few days of fame. Maybe one day I'll sneak in a monster new build which will stop you catching me

For the E racing side of things, he beat both Renault and Sauber's best professional efforts, for that he has an international team place next season .... In the real world, next season without the weight penalty and without the rookie license, it will be fun or at least fireworks. I am looking forward to it.scole of TSBT wrote: ↑Tue Dec 25, 2018 2:26 amLikewise. I hope the next Jackie Stewart has a good year also. McLaren Racing called him back yet?

Then blank screen, then logo. Almost like a perpetual reboot. I assume this isn't normal?
I've tried with and without an SD Card (Fat32). With and without RJ45 ethernet. Even looked for it on http but nada
Have contacted seller so await their reply too

Nice!
Other than the monthly Crunch Sans Frontiere, there was only one other WCG challenge in 2018 (from GridCoin). Need to plan some more in 2019 to dovetail in between the FB sprints https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Form ... nned_races

utg can't catch me now so I've moved a machine over to Gerasim. TSC Russia is getting too close to dropping us 7 points. I put 12 threads on it last night and that stopped the bleeding but this will solve the problem.
