Downloaded, installed, Lunatics 0.43a installed, all crunching well. :-) TimeLord04 Have TARDIS, will travel... Come along K-9! Join Calm Chaos |

7.4.27 allows graphics on GPU crunching!!! Since I have Lunatics installed, I can't get them to work for SETI; however, Einstein's screensaver just came up for me. It shocked me when I saw it!!! I thought I was hallucinating!!! However; I wasn't, it was a great sight to see! :-) [EDIT] Can someone who's not on Lunatics, crunching SETI on 7.4.27 on a GPU confirm that graphics are supported??? I'm very interested to know. Thanks, TL TimeLord04 Have TARDIS, will travel... Come along K-9! Join Calm Chaos |

Never mind... SETI Beta kicked in to crunch, and the screensaver stopped. I checked BOINC, and highlighted a Beta unit, and the "Show Graphics" button was greyed out. So, no SETI graphics when crunching on GPU... :-( Bummer... I like graphics. TimeLord04 Have TARDIS, will travel... Come along K-9! Join Calm Chaos |

This isn't something that 7.4.27 does specifically, it's a function in the science application itself, whether or not it can work together with a simultaneously sent graphics app. Einstein has been sending out graphics applications with all their GPU applications since March 2011, so it's not something awfully new. Seti doesn't have it yet. They'll look into it for the Seti v8 applications. |

Download BOINC for Linux x64 (3.25 MB) BOINC 7.2.42 Forwarded that to development. I think it's because of the problem with wxwidgets 3.0.1 not working on all systems, or perhaps they forgot to add 7.4.25 (which is the Linux version) to the download link. |

If it works so perfectly why would all these people waste so much time & effort on over 40 some fixes? ;-) ;-) :-) ... |

There are more reasons not to upgrade than vice versa. At least on Anon plattform. With each crime and every kindness we birth our future. |

On the other hand I have found that if it's not broken I don't fix it, that works better for me. 6.10.60 and Lunatics 0.43a doing just fine here with 314.07 nvidia drivers, but thanks anyway. :-D Cheers. |

I seem to have good timing in that I update my systems right before the next recommended version is released. I just recently updated all of my systems to 7.2.42. However I plan to go with the latest semi-stable release of 7.5/7.6 on some systems for the <dont_use_vbox>0|1</dont_use_vbox> option.

Graphics for 7.03 are still greyed out. Sorry TimeLord04 |

Just a small warning, especially in the face of needing a backup project for this project. We have had reports, and I have managed to replicate this as well, that when you set a backup project at zero resource share and you have never downloaded work from it yet, that BOINC 7.4.27 will not download work from it, no matter how empty your queue is. But even though I've sent in three separate logs about this to the developers, not much has been returned about it. So it's probably a figment of my imagination and that of the three other people so far who reported it. :) |

It's not a figment of your imagination, Ageless, I've noticed the same on my systems. With work units getting scarce, I raised my download limit to 10 days and got a full cache on all machines for SETI. I run 6 other projects and noticed that after they finish a work unit, the reply for "not needed" CPU cache full appears. 11/16/2014 12:34:00 AM | LHC@home 1.0 | Sending scheduler request: Requested by project. 11/16/2014 12:34:00 AM | LHC@home 1.0 | Not requesting tasks: don't need (CPU: job cache full; NVIDIA GPU: ) 11/16/2014 12:34:02 AM | LHC@home 1.0 | Scheduler request completed Maybe you could pass this on to the powers that be as it's only happening since I upgraded all my machines to BOINC 7.4.27. |

V 7.4.27 has made some changes to the way information is presented in the log. LHC does use a feature that many projects don't. It set a timer to call home on a regular basis so that work is returned and reported quicker. They also allow only a very small cache (15 or 20 WU). |
