I've an iMac G4 running Debian (squeeze) and everything's fine except running BOINC. Note that boinc DOES run (as a daemon) and I can control it just fine through /etc/init.d/boinc-client start /etc/init.d/boinc-client stop and then open BOINC manager, not an issue, it runs and reads my configs and permissions ARE correct, I made sure of it (chown boinc /var/lib/boinc-client/whateverstuff) I wasn't able to post in the number crunching forum for some reason, but wanted to know why the 3 ppc-unknown-linux apps I got from Dotsch.de - both astropulses and setiathome527 - will not get work. Oh and BOINC says this upon launching the manager: Fri 14 Oct 2011 11:49:10 AM EDT Starting BOINC client version 6.10.58 for powerpc-linux-gnu Fri 14 Oct 2011 11:49:10 AM EDT Config: GUI RPC allowed from: Fri 14 Oct 2011 11:49:10 AM EDT log flags: file_xfer, sched_ops, task Fri 14 Oct 2011 11:49:10 AM EDT Libraries: libcurl/7.21.0 OpenSSL/0.9.8o zlib/1.2.3.4 libidn/1.15 libssh2/1.2.6 Fri 14 Oct 2011 11:49:10 AM EDT Data directory: /var/lib/boinc-client Fri 14 Oct 2011 11:49:10 AM EDT Processor: 1 PowerMac 7455 [Model 0 ] Fri 14 Oct 2011 11:49:10 AM EDT Processor: 256.00 KB cache Fri 14 Oct 2011 11:49:10 AM EDT Processor features: altivec Fri 14 Oct 2011 11:49:10 AM EDT OS: Linux: 2.6.32-5-powerpc Fri 14 Oct 2011 11:49:10 AM EDT Memory: 1.48 GB physical, 3.08 GB virtual Fri 14 Oct 2011 11:49:10 AM EDT Disk: 70.33 GB total, 63.28 GB free Fri 14 Oct 2011 11:49:10 AM EDT Local time is UTC -4 hours Fri 14 Oct 2011 11:49:10 AM EDT No usable GPUs found Fri 14 Oct 2011 11:49:10 AM EDT SETI@home Found app_info.xml; using anonymous platform Fri 14 Oct 2011 11:49:10 AM EDT SETI@home URL http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/; Computer ID 6201540; resource share 100 So that's fine. Right? It's not giving any errors (anymore) since I fixed a minor typo... But then when I go ask for work, I only see this: Fri 14 Oct 2011 12:23:07 PM EDT SETI@home update requested by user Fri 14 Oct 2011 12:23:07 PM EDT SETI@home Sending scheduler request: Requested by user. Fri 14 Oct 2011 12:23:07 PM EDT SETI@home Not reporting or requesting tasks Fri 14 Oct 2011 12:23:09 PM EDT SETI@home Scheduler request completed confused here. Any ideas? NC @ Thingy It's a tarp! |

Fri 14 Oct 2011 12:23:07 PM EDT SETI@home Not reporting or requesting tasksconfused here. Any ideas? Did you set "No new tasks" in the Projects tab of BOINC manager? (What does the Status column tell?) Gruß, Gundolf Computer sind nicht alles im Leben. (Kleiner Scherz) SETI@home classic workunits 3,758 SETI@home classic CPU time 66,520 hours |

No, it's set to allow new tasks. I know how to use BOINC in general, but using anonymous platform esp. on PPC Debain is completely foreign to me. So given all my knowledge of BOINC, it SHOULD work, but I must have messed up somewhere.. NC @ Thingy It's a tarp! |

If the Status column is really empty, I can only guess it's something with your app_info.xml. Gruß, Gundolf |

Is it just the standard Version as for the OS X? Thanks guys! It should be, you will most likely need one of the newer builds though. http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/boinc_6.12.43_macOSX_universal.zip |
