I'm running BOINC client version 5.4.11 for i686-pc-linux-gnu on a gentoo linux and setiathome-5.27.i686-pc-linux-gnu.

6.dec. it stopped working processing seti packets.

I start boinc with
root/downloads/seti/BOINC/run_client -no_gui_rpc -dir /root/downloads/seti/BOINC -return_results_immediately -update_prefs http://setiathome.berkeley.edu > boinc.log &

and boinc.log output is:

ore boinc.log

and from seti account I see, that the cient got new work from seti project from
5 Dec 2007 3:33:30 UTC until 6 Dec 2007 22:21:57 UTC
and all new works have status In Progress - outcome unknown - client state new (deadline >13.jan.2008)

what I noticed: following files are 0 byte emty:
sched_reply_setiathome.berkeley.edu.xml
master_setiathome.berkeley.edu.xml

any idea, how I can get closer to the problem?
many thanks!
Liebe Gruesse,

Could you please try to make a "reset project" from within the BOINC manager of the boinc_cmd tool.

Btw. I have seen, that you use a BOINC client 5.4.11. In the moment 5.8.x or 5.10.x is recommended : boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php.

Ahm, I see 5.4.11, 5.8.16 and 5.10.21 as recommended. But, since 5.8.x was a lot of improvements...

I see the three versions too. Very silly question...:
I've no X/KDE/Gnome on my Linux running, can I take version the recommended version "5.10.21 (Standard GUI)" having no GUI running...?

many thanks

Yes, of course. Only the BOINC manager needs the graphics libs.

---

Yes, as Dotsch said, only the manager needs X. There should be 3 different executables: boinc_client (which actually does the work), boincmgr (the graphical manager) and boinc_cmd. The last one is the command line tool that lets you control boinc without graphics. You can use that to attach to new projects and manage current projects and tasks just like with the manager just with a little more typing involved :) Or you can enable remote management and use the manager from another computer to manage it.
