41) Questions and Answers : Windows : Cannot get work units (Message 705662) Posted 30 Jan 2008 by Jakob Creutzfeld Post: 01/29/2008 06:16:56 PM\|SETI@home\|Message from server: (reached daily quota of 4 results) Please help. I did a clear in the Preference tab but it did not help. Thanks. Hi Patrick, I've marked the reason for your issue above ("reached daily quota of 4 results"). For whatever reason the SETI server thought it has to cancel some dozens work units you had already on your host (see here). This probably led to a reduction of your daily quota (what it shouldn't do). The daily quota will be reduced by one with each unsuccessful computed work unit, but will be doubled with each successful returned result. So this should be fixed in the next hours, as soon as your host has crunched some more work units. HTH Andy [Edit] Ohhh, Ageless was faster, again...[/edit]
42) Questions and Answers : Windows : only one wu per cpu (Message 704982) Posted 27 Jan 2008 by Jakob Creutzfeld Post: Hi Rick, two things worth to check: - Make sure you do not use localised preferences, they do override you web settings (to check this, open BOINC manager -> advanced view -> Advanced -> Preferences and click the "Clear"-button to revert to the web based preferences), - Make sure all of your hosts are set to the same venue. There are four different venues possible (default, home, work and school) which each having their own set of preferences/settings. HTH Andy
43) Message boards : Number crunching : im new, what tweaks can i make? (Message 704010) Posted 25 Jan 2008 by Jakob Creutzfeld Post: And since the 2.2B overclaims credit, the Crunch3r Apps are the ones to go for. F. That's new to me that 2.2B overclaims credits... ?:-) But after reviewing the lunatics site, the actual version seems to be 2.4. Andy It was explained pretty prominently when the whole switch to multibeam happened in early August 2007 - see for example this post and this post. Perhaps that's one of the perils of performing a major project upgrade during the holiday season? Ohhh...:-o - stupid me (haven't looked in the opt app thread for a long time, since I'm using 2.4V-GFX for some months now - blame me). So V2.4 is the way to go. (and I'll be quiet now... ;-)) Thanks for clarifying, Richard! Regards Andy [Edit] Actually, from the top off my head I thought 2.2B was already the multibeam app... hmmmm, probably a memory leak at offset 0x00CF003B...[/Edit]

45) Message boards : Number crunching : im new, what tweaks can i make? (Message 703973) Posted 25 Jan 2008 by Jakob Creutzfeld Post: Hallo Andy ! Genau - Wie auch immer ....! Yup. But we're off topic... @cerncerncern, as mentioned the science app you are using is an old version. Either use at least one of the 2.2B versions from Simon's site (without graphics, the SSE2/SSE3 version should work) or crunch3r's version (also SSE2 or SSE3, they are newer, with variable multiplier and graphics). HTH Andy
46) Message boards : Number crunching : im new, what tweaks can i make? (Message 703734) Posted 24 Jan 2008 by Jakob Creutzfeld Post: Oh, and by the way: You are using an old science application version (V1.3), which is obsolete now. If you want the newest release (and with graphics... :-)) you should install crunch3r's optimised apps. HTH Andy Hallo Andy Kann es sein, dass dieses Durcheinander durch den link auf die lunatics - site entstanden ist ? Muss gestehen, dass ich erst jetzt alle posts gelesen habe, und bei DR: C.E.T.I.`s Antwort war ein link auf lunatics anstatt Crunch3r. GrÃƒÂ¼sse aus Ãƒâ€“sterreich! Kurt Hi Kurt, jou, kann sein... is aber auch nich schlimm, frage mich nur, warum im auto installer noch die Version 1.3 dabei ist (bzw. wie der OP dazu kam)... Die apps von lunatics tun ja auch, sofern es die V2.2B ist (und nicht auf 'ner vista-maschine lÃƒÂ¤uft). Wie auch immer... Happy crunchin'! Andy

(Message 703702) Posted 24 Jan 2008 by Jakob Creutzfeld Post: Is there a setting i can change so what as soon as a WU is finished it updates and sends, or to update every 10 minutes or something? Yes, you can choose to change your Boinc client : go to : http://calbe.dw70.de/win32.html, take the RED PILL for client 6.1.0.32, install it. Updates and sends after 1 minute to avoid validate errors. ( Works just fine for me ) Regards Kurt mmm now when i close seti and open it the WUs start from scratch :( Oh, and by the way: You are using an old science application version (V1.3), which is obsolete now. If you want the newest release (and with graphics... :-)) you should install crunch3r's optimised apps. HTH Andy
48) Questions and Answers : Windows : Inicio automÃƒÂ¡tico (Message 703488) Posted 24 Jan 2008 by Jakob Creutzfeld Post: Cuando instalÃƒÂ© Boinc puse que no se iniciara al iniciar windows. CÃƒÂ³mo hago para que se inicie automaticamente al iniciar Windows xp. Tengo que desinstalarlo y volverlo a instalar? Si hago eso pierdo los trabajos que ya enviÃƒÂ©? Ayudaaaaaaa Hi Marcela, either remove/reinstall it over the top of the existing installation (your will not lose work by doing so) or make a shortcut to boincmgr.exe in your autostart group (start -> programs -> autostart), both should work. Google translation: Ya sea eliminar y volver a lo largo de la parte superior de la instalaciÃƒÂ³n existente (no van a perder su trabajo por hacerlo) o hacer un acceso directo a boincmgr.exe automÃƒÂ¡ticamente en su grupo (inicio -> programas -> inicio automÃƒÂ¡tico), ambos deben trabajar. HTH Andy [Edit] Make sure to choose the option "run on windows startup" when reinstalling / AsegÃƒÂºrese de elegir la opciÃƒÂ³n de "correr en el lanzamiento de las Windows" cuando reinstalar [/Edit]
49) Questions and Answers : Windows : No puedo enviar mi trabajo/ I can't send my work (Message 702838) Posted 22 Jan 2008 by Jakob Creutzfeld Post: Thanks you for the help. Now, I can work in some projects, but in SETI can't work still. Nevertheless, I can work in DepSpid, Cosmology@home, Milkway@home and few more. Appreciate all the help possible. Thanks. Relampague Hi Relampague, I found that almost every work unit exited with error code -177, which means "not enough memory". Here's a snippet from one of your returned results: <core_client_version>5.10.30</core_client_version> <![CDATA[ <message> Maximum memory exceeded </message> ]]> You should check your memory settings (either in your computing preferences on the web site here or in your BOINC manager -> extras -> preferences (which overwrites the web based preferences), depending on the type of control set you use) and raise the amounts for memory usage a bit more, say to 70% and/or more. HTH Andy
50) Questions and Answers : Preferences : Noob question - Hidding Computers (Message 702106) Posted 20 Jan 2008 by Jakob Creutzfeld Post: Can any body tell me how to hide my computer on the statics pages. I simply cannot find the option to do this. Any advice Hi Gallagher and welcome to SETI@Home, you can hide your computers in your SETI@home preferences, option "Should SETI@home show your computers on its web site?". HTH Andy
51) Questions and Answers : Windows : Gesamtzeit eines Projektes (Message 702097) Posted 20 Jan 2008 by Jakob Creutzfeld Post: Hallo! Kann man im Boinc-Manager oder auf der Seite die Gesamtrechenzeit eines Projektes einsehen? Ich meine nicht die Prozessorzeit fÃƒÂ¼r eine Aufgabe. Vielen Dank. Milhouse Hi Milhouse, nee, sowas in der Richtung Gesamt-Rechenzeit (wie bei SETI-Classic) gibt es unter BOINC nicht mehr. Das liegt daran, dass bei BOINC die wirklich geleistete Arbeit gezÃƒÂ¤hlt wird (in der Form von MegaFLOPs) anstatt die jeweils benÃƒÂ¶tigte Berechnungszeit. Dies macht durchaus Sinn, weil natÃƒÂ¼rlich schnellere PCs mehr work units berechnen kÃƒÂ¶nnen als langsame... Vielleicht gibts aber ein Drittanbieterprodukt (siehe hier), welches die Rechenzeit aufaddieren kann (wÃƒÂ¼rde es mal mit BOINCLogX probieren, kenn aber das Programm nicht nÃƒÂ¤her...) :-) HTH GruÃƒÅ¸ Andy
52) Message boards : Number crunching : Can some one explain this to me (Message 698441) Posted 8 Jan 2008 by Jakob Creutzfeld Post: It's worse than just not counting flops, it's not registering any CPU time even though the task runs, completes normally and is valid scientifically. Yeah, only a totally outdated client version can (or cannot) do that! LOL To be honest: CC version 3.18 is quite old... weren't there any plans to abandon such old CC's, i.e. by not sending any more work to them? Andy
53) Message boards : Number crunching : Can some one explain this to me (Message 698433) Posted 8 Jan 2008 by Jakob Creutzfeld Post: Hi Shadow, your co-cruncher aka Wingman aka quorum partner is using BOINC version 3.18 [see here). Seems like this (old) BOINC version doesn't report FLOPS... :-( There was a thread some weeks ago about old BOINC clients like this, but I can't find it right now...

55) Questions and Answers : Getting started : Old Account (Message 698356) Posted 8 Jan 2008 by Jakob Creutzfeld Post: I had an account on Classic Seti and would like those unit transferred to my new account, is that possible???? Hi Michael and welcome back to SETI, yes they can be transferred, see here: Claim your SETI@home Classic workunits.. Keep in mind that the classic credits are not compatible with the BOINC credit system, so the classic credits are listed as a separate entry in your account summary. HTH Andy

GruÃƒÅ¸, Gundolf Hi Gundolf, danke fÃƒÂ¼r's einspringen und fÃƒÂ¼r die Korrektur (wie schon gesagt, bin eigentlich kein "Internet guy", und wenn's um Internetverbindungen usw. geht komm ich dann doch recht schnell mit meinem Latein an's Ende...) Gruss Andy
57) Questions and Answers : Wish list : classic workunits to credits (Message 693038) Posted 20 Dec 2007 by Jakob Creutzfeld Post: SETI Classic workunits are incompatible with BOINC credits and cannot be converted. Ok Have credits some utility in the real life??? Thanks in advance and Ozzy for ever (and metal) No. Except for bragging, claiming rights or comparing computer against each other they are - in the real world - worthless (although... I've never tried to pay my bill at the gasoline station with seti "credits"... maybe worth a try. LOL) HTH and metal on! Andy
58) Questions and Answers : Windows : Scheduler request failed: couldn't resolve host name (Message 692866) Posted 19 Dec 2007 by Jakob Creutzfeld Post: My next move would be to try to "ping" the Berkley address from the Cmd prompt... Er, how do I do that? I mean what do YOU mean by "cmd prompt"? What program? Which address? I'm sorry if I seem to be too persistant, but it's troublesome that all worked fine until about three days ago. Nothing has changed on my side - or so I believe. Ok... Hi Holger, to "Ping" the berkeley servers do the following: - Click "Start" -> "AusfÃƒÂ¼hren...", enter "cmd" in the dialog filed and click < OK > (this opens the DOS Box). Type "ping setiathome.berkeley.edu" (without quotations) end press Enter. You should receive something like this: Ping setiathome.SSL.berkeley.edu [128.32.18.171] mit 32 Bytes Daten: You should receive: Antwort von 128.32.18.171: Bytes=32 Zeit=199ms TTL=44 Antwort von 128.32.18.171: Bytes=32 Zeit=203ms TTL=44 Antwort von 128.32.18.171: Bytes=32 Zeit=203ms TTL=44 Antwort von 128.32.18.171: Bytes=32 Zeit=203ms TTL=44 Ping-Statistik fÃƒÂ¼r 128.32.18.171: Pakete: Gesendet = 4, Empfangen = 4, Verloren = 0 (0% Verlust) If you receive something different, please report it here. Next step is a tracert (trace route), so in the same DOS Box type "tracert setiathome.berkeley.edu" (without quotes). You should receive (similar): 10 62 ms 46 ms 62 ms ae-2.ebr2.London1.Level3.net [4.69.132.133] 16 187 ms 187 ms 187 ms ae-21-79.car1.SanJose1.Level3.net [4.68.18.67] 17 187 ms 187 ms 187 ms CENIC.car1.SanJose1.Level3.net [4.79.44.6] 18 187 ms 187 ms 187 ms inet-ucb--svl-isp.cenic.net [137.164.24.106] 19 187 ms 187 ms 187 ms g3-19.inr-201-eva.Berkeley.EDU [128.32.0.58] 20 187 ms 187 ms 187 ms g6-1.inr-230-spr.Berkeley.EDU [128.32.255.110] 21 203 ms 203 ms 202 ms ssl-f1.SSL.Berkeley.EDU [169.229.0.218] 22 203 ms 203 ms 203 ms bane.ssl.berkeley.edu [128.32.18.171] Ablaufverfolgung beendet. If this doesn't work, report it here. Actually, I'm not an "Internet guy", so if both of these suggestions fail, I'm at the end of my Latin. I suspect that Berkeley has changed it's IP adress (or ISP) and the new paths to Berkeley are not published fast enough for all DNS servers. Further suggestions/ideas, anyone? Andy
59) Questions and Answers : Windows : Scheduler request failed: couldn't resolve host name (Message 692840) Posted 19 Dec 2007 by Jakob Creutzfeld Post: Thank you, Fred, for the fast reply, but do you care to explain what it does before I do it !? (I don't like doing stuff to my PC unless I understand at least what the idea is; I'm not presumptuous to say I understand everything, but the general order...) Actually it is explained in the linked post itself... :-) You can also type "ipconfig /?" to see further options... HTH Andy
60) Message boards : Number crunching : No graphics in some WU's (Message 692829) Posted 19 Dec 2007 by Jakob Creutzfeld Post: Hmmm. I don't know enough about Crunch3r's apps to troubleshoot beyond that. Perhaps somebody else may know the answer... Actually I noticed this too a while ago (see my post here). But I suspect, that nobody except Crunch3r can give an answer... Andy
