I have an computer running OS/2 most of the time idle, so I install Yuri's software. That was completed but nothing is happening. Message: error -108 unknown error File: main.cpp Line: 255 Maybe this helps. George |

That won't help him, champ, as he is using IBM's OS/2, for which there's no default client available from the BOINC download site. So he has to use a 3rd party built BOINC and a 3rd party built Seti, both of which were built by Yuri. Georgie, do you have two accounts? I don't see any computers attached to the one you're posting with. So please, could you either point to your computer (give a link to it), or login to the account you're crunching with? |

Hi Jord, I have run Seti several times in the past but always on Windows OS. I have no idea with wat password or email.... Also Einstein on Windows machines. I'm logged in now, but on my login page I can't find any data about my computer. It's an experiment, wanted to see how OS/2 is doing; in 2001 I tried also with OS/2 without any succes. The computer is an Abit mobo with 2GHz P4, 1GB memory and a NVIDIA TI 4600. If no succes I will try FreeBSD. Georgie |

Well, if the error -108 you get is a BOINC error, this may be caused when the directory that BOINC lives in is hidden. It can't find itself after starting. The other problem is that you do not seem to have attached correctly to Seti to do any work. Hence why I asked about the two accounts and pointed you to the FAQ that shows how to change to the other account. If you only have one account and you think you did attach correctly and Seti seems to be working, then the only thing is to see if the directory is hidden. Although there are other options for this error: ERR_FOPEN -108 (En tussen twee haakjes, als je dit liever in het Nederlands doet, dan kan dat; anders houden we het maar effe in het Engels). |

Dag Jord, Haha, dan maar even in het Nederlands. Als ik een van de tekst files uitlees, waarin al de start-up gegevens staan, kom ik steeds de zin tegen dat ik niet "attached" ben aan enig project. Hier is dus iets mis. De seti directory staat binnen de BIN directory en er zijn geen files 'hidden' Ik loop wel tegen het volgende probleem aan. Als ik het Seti project attached, dan krijg je al de helpfuncties te zien en staat onderin "Now install your project client code". Wat of waar is die code en waar moet ie geinstalleerd worden? Sorry guys for the Dutch language... Georgie |

De seti directory staat binnen de BIN directory en er zijn geen files 'hidden' OK, mijn kennis van OS/2 is ergens tussen erg lang geleden en veel vergeten. Maar de \setiathome.berkeley.edu\ directory moet zelfs onder OS/2 een sub-directory van de \BOINC\projects\ directory zijn. Of heb je het nu over je FreeBSD installatie? Als ik het Seti project attached, dan krijg je al de helpfuncties te zien en staat onderin "Now install your project client code". Lijkt me een slechte vertaling van de authenticor of account key. Die kun je alvast vinden in jouw account. (dat ding hier niet posten, 't is je persoonlijke identificatie nummer) Anders weet ik het niet. Welke versie van BOINC is dit? Ik geloof dat het nog een oude 5.zoveel was? |

Dag Jord, De versie is 5.4.9 en het seti gebeuren staat inderdaad in de Boinc directory. Het gekke is dat die key er al instaat. Ik rommel nog wel wat verder en als het niet lukt is er ook geen man over boord. In ieder geval bedankt voor je belangstelling. Het OS is eigenlijk Ecomstation, je weet wel, de schil om OS/2.
