Message 1394905 - Posted: 25 Jul 2013, 21:24:06 UTC

Hello,

How do I get my BOINC Manager to update, or upload, the finished results? I see this alot:


It only refreshes when I hit update. Not sure what happens when it's finished the entire list, maybe it just auto updates a bunch more then? Just want to make sure things are running well.

Also, how can I get my GPU to participate? I have it setup so it should (I think?) but I don't see any indication that the GPU is doing anything, like I still have 4 active tasks (= 4 cores). Shouldn't it be 5 or so with a GPU? AMD Radeon HD 6700 series btw

What are your work buffers set to? Post the
first 40 lines of your event log. Nobody can help
without data from you.

The OP also has 89 "abandoned" tasks from about 17 hours ago, and no GPU listed in his system description.

Oooh looks like something magically happened, lol.

I notice I actually have more than 0 credit now, nice.


This is what I have now, so I assume it finishing out the old list worked just fine.

So which log do you want the lines from? I'm kinda new, but I do know computers as well so just let me know, thanks.

Found the Event Log, I assume this is what you meant:

http://pastebin.com/tdHb741x

That's the entire thing. I can't seem to be able to search in reverse order so the newest is at the bottom.

What Graphics Driver do you have installed? According to BOINC, you don't have one. First thing to remember about ATI drivers, it's difficult to go backwards. I'd start with driver 12.10 and see how things work, you can upgrade easily. It's just going backwards that hurts...

Running as a daemon


BOINC has been reinstalled in protected mode so GPU's are unusable.

[edit]Re-run the installer with protected mode unticked, see here http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=71499&postid=1361441.[/edit]

Cheers.

@Wiggo: What does that mean and how can I fix it?

I have 13.6 AMD Catalyst Control Center right now, I'll try going back to 12.10.

I just said you can't go backwards...don't do that. Try what you have for now. You have to re-install BOINC...

The current ATI drivers leave items behind when you try to downgrade. This usually causes problems. A lot of people try the newest first, then go backwards and end up with problems. It's best to not try to downgrade. If what you have works, keep it. Glad to see it's working for you.

Yeah, I misunderstood what you first said, sorry. Looks like everything is running smoothly now so that's good.

LowLatent, welcome to the project and this forum! About your question on why BOINC didn't immediately report completions:
How do I get my BOINC Manager to update, or upload, the finished results?
BOINC usually waits until it thinks it needs work for the project. It will let unreported completions stack up for up to 24 hours if it thinks it doesn't need more work. That's controlled by your computing preference settings. Check your settings at Tools/Computing preferences and then go to the the Network usage tab. The minimum work buffer is the number of days you want (for all projects). Set that for 3 to 6 days. The "Max additional work buffer" is probably causing your problem. Set it very low - I use .01 days. Higher settings will result in longer periods between updates.

When running more than one project, you may still have imbalances between the projects in work fetch and reporting until BONC settles down and starts running per your resource share settings. That can take up to 10 days. There's a way to adjust that and there's also an option to report immediately after completions, but they usually are not needed.

That's the entire thing. I can't seem to be able to search in reverse order so the newest is at the bottom.

Should have a scroll bar on the right side of the event log screen to go up to the top for the inital messages. You can select the lines you want and there's a button at the bottom to copy selected lines to paste into your message. Those inital lines from startup are often very useful in troubleshooting.
