cuda_fermi start, not run [solved]

You have a point, Ivan. I would put it as "if a Linux update involves a GPU driver or you suspect it does, then a reboot after update might be wise even if the update software does not recommend a reboot". But then I have a tendency to be wordy. I'm getting valid GPU results again, so it seems all is well. On pure CPU (10 cores on boinc, two left to occasional random tasks) was getting 11000 cobblestones per day and with the 560 TI GPU active was getting around 25000-30000 per day. |

cuda_fermi start, not run [solved]
(Message 1358717)
Posted 31 days ago by David Anderson (not *that* DA)
I noticed my Ubuntu GNU/Linux 12.04 cuda jobs were not running. Instead they were sitting in the tasks list waiting, having taken 2 seconds. Only pure-cpu stuff running. This was a new symptom... of what? Then I remembered (vaguely) a recent Ubuntu/nvidia update. Which did not insist I reboot the machine. Guessing that there was some weird inconsistency in what boinc understood was in use as the GPU driver, I rebooted the machine and luckily that helped. The GPU jobs started running and finishing, apparently normally (perhaps at bit early to be sure the completed GPU tasks are ok, I will keep watch). So I *think* all is back to normal. Strange? |

Since 1 Jan 2013 through 23 February 2013 Folks with bad results, pointed to by my Inconclusive list. I sent PMs to all but 2 (the 2 anonymous). 20 different hosts: 2 responded to PM and are doing ok now. 6 are now producing good results, without responding to PM. 5 no longer responding to seti. 7 are still doing badly: error and invalid. |

Vyper (1635) is taking action to fix the machine generating bad results and he sent me a PM. Thank you Vyper!

zeek and Horribleron are actively addressing their results issues. Neither was really aware their machines were having error/invalid problems. Both thanked me for pointing out there was an issue. Thanks to both of them for addressing the problem and doing it promptly. |

Linux GPU setup

Posted 155 days ago by David Anderson (not *that* DA)
The Ubuntu 12.04 boinc was broken, as you said. The 12.10 Ubuntu version is a boinc 7.0.27 which works. When you get the boinc distro from Berkeley really working, could you post, here, a description of all you did and where the files are and who boinc-manager and boinc-client run as (as distinct from where they are in the Ubuntu version running as user boinc)? I've been thinking about doing what you are doing but was a bit reluctant to take the time, and I do really like having boinc running as another user and group (with therefore no permission to read my personal files because of how I set umask). |

Looked through my current inconclusive results (all 31 of them) and found some machines generating less-than-good results. Sent what I hope are nicely expressed requests to fix the machines noted below. Mentioned Richard Haselgrove's thread 69735 to all those folks that could possibly find it useful, I think.

Gregory is actively trying to improve his laptop Invalid/Error numbers. We exchanged PMs and I suggested things to him based on postings (by experts) in related threads, and something seems to have worked -- even though I am no expert. Time will tell, but starting December 12 he is getting good results, it appears.

Looking at my Inconclusive results (which are down from 100 a few weeks ago to 30 today) I noticed a few wingmen (wingpersons?) that have remarkably bad Seti results on their computers. Numbers are userid: vilon 8262323 fuze 9777071 Bill Martin 9216028 perry 7800261 gregory 8823142 Prof.Pointer 65486 Tasha 9420323 The best of the above is generating less than half good results, most generate essentially no good results at all. All Error or Invalid. I PM'd them all (trying to be as nice as I can) and asking them to go to the Questions & Answers forum to get help. I hope at least some of them take some action to improve the situation with their machines. This 'Inconclusives' task reporting is really a good thing, thanks to those who made it happen. |

One wonders if the incredible volume of incoming data (as shown by cricket graph) is not a manifestation of the infamous 'buffer bloat'. Rather than really a need for more bandwidth. |

I was alarmed at my 100 Inconclusive (1800+ pending) and did find a couple wingmen with rather bad records, meaning 10 times as many Invalid as Valid. So I PM'd them today. Hopefully it gets them to ask for help, and soon. |
