I was on a project to replace the manual Army Supply System with a computerised system in Australia. The only computer we had at the start of the project had those big 7 1/2 inch floppy drives and we had the latest in Dbase software. Dbase, not Dbase 1 or 2 or 3 just Dbase. By the end of the project we had hundreds of computers and we even had a form of distributed computing for ou warehousing solution. I have been working in that field ever since and I am still amased at he power of desktops compared to the past.

It looks like Richard Haselgrove's picture was taken just before the end of the workday - at ten-'til-four, PM. It wasn't ten-twenty AM because the hourhand would've been positioned incorrectly. It would've been dark had the PMs and AMs been reversed. I conclude that the cops would have had a happy day unless all there had drunken in moderation or had taken a bus, taxi or train home.


Seti comes back up quickly usually and it is very stable. I think that the admins do a great under pressure from all of us jumping in when the first sign of work not coming to us.

I also notice that these aborted bt project wu end up as a Client error on the users account. There maybe should be another category other than User Error for these ??

Thanks, Grant.

The domain names are different (the new one is ETJ_II and the old one is ETJ_PROD), and I didn't think merge would work in this situation.

Never done it myself; you can only try.




Once there are no results left for the computer then you can delete it in the computer list after selecting the computer. Bring up he computer details that you want to delete and when there are no more results there will be a delete as well as a merge function at the bottom of the screen.

SETI from my experience is the largest project for work out put an members crunching I think and I believe are doing a great job keeping the servers up and running. There are many projects to crunch and most are worthwhile scientifically and some are not, but the choice is still yours. I am running SETI on my 64 bit PC and will swing over some more in due course.

[quote][quote]Things are running smoothly here. Thanks for all your efforts at SSL!



Just for your information, things are not running smoothly here. I have four processors been waiting on work for over 12 hours and I fear this weekend will be a bust again. Project reports no work?? Any News on this? Or am I the only one that has this problem?


I am also returning work OK but getting the no work from project message.

When it's done it's done. There will be a long catchup this time anyway once it is all operational I presume.

Good work guys

The applications page says that there is a 64 bit version.
Linux/x86_64 5.12 1 May 2006 22:43:19 UTC

But when I try and use it on my AMD64 with Linux 64 bit and BOINC 64 bit I get the error that
"Message from server: platform 'x86_64-pc-linux-gnu' not found"

So I guess that you page http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/apps.php

is incorrect.

OK so most of the PC's haven't had the error since I went up to 5.8.14. But I still have two older ones that still give the error. I have un-installed 5.8.14 and gone back to 4.4.11 because I know that it worked. I will wait another day and see what happens

I read in another thread that 5.8.14 fixed this but it seems to be still happening after I upgraded to 5.8.14. I will have to wait and see I guess ?

It is a P4 HT with Boinc Version 5.8.11. I haven't seen these in SETI till I updated to Boinc 5.8.11 ??

I am still standing by, any word on if and when a fix might be available or do I just not use my Linux PC's for SETI. I haven't tried for a while though so I should do that and see if it is fixed. I will advise.

Do you have still the same problem ?
Btw. have you tried to update your BOINC Client ? - The 5.3.12 is from a very old alpha test client source.



I upgraded to the latest Linux version of BOINC and installed it as root and I was able to attach to seti.

I am now set, that's for the help.

Post:
I will have another look but I went through each folder and had a look when I got the error as that is what I thought it might be. It seems strange that this only happens with SETI. I have also attached to Eistein, Xtremlab, WCG on this PC sucessfully but only SETI won't connect. I will just detach nad forget it.

SETI has a newer server software in use like the other projects.
Please be patitient and stanby till the problem is fixed. We are only volunteers here in the forums, and no system administrators on the SETI servers. So we must collect information about every failure, an report them to the SETI devs and admins.
