Changes since 5.2.7 * Localization updates. * Resolve many connection issues regarding passwords. * Mac: Fix a screensaver stutter while scrolling text. that is all i could find that changed.

Well i guess the 5.2.8 is just a fix for the boic manager/boinc_cmd this should have no affect to the boinc core client. Join BOINC United now! ID: 192821 ·

The benchmark runs fine and gives me about what a Windows machine would have (double), but as soon as it tried to do something, it crashes. Sometimes it waited until a network access to crash. I'm sorry that I don't have the error files. I have been "optimizing" the system :-) The P4 SSE2 BOINC version runs great on my 3.0 GHz P4, 512MB RAM, SuSE 10.0 machine. The Windows BOINC version also seems to be running great on my 3.4 GHz P4, 1GB RAM, WinXP. Since I'm a newbie to Linux I have assumed my problems were an operator-head-space problem, but maybe there's a problem with this configuration running on a Celeron? Anyway, thanks a bunch for the BOINC clients. They level the playing field for Linux vs Windows. Edit: I just tried the 5.2.8 version with the same results.The stderr file shows: 2005-11-24 17:34:01 [---] Starting BOINC client version 5.2.8 for i686-pc-linux-gnu 2005-11-24 17:34:01 [---] libcurl/7.15.0 OpenSSL/0.9.7e zlib/1.2.3 2005-11-24 17:34:01 [---] Data directory: /home/rick 2005-11-24 17:34:01 [SETI@home] Found app_info.xml; using anonymous platform 2005-11-24 17:34:01 [---] Processor: 1 GenuineIntel Intel(R) Celeron(TM) CPU 1300MHz 2005-11-24 17:34:01 [---] Memory: 630.70 MB physical, 1.00 GB virtual 2005-11-24 17:34:01 [---] Disk: 11.73 GB total, 10.93 GB free 2005-11-24 17:34:01 [---] Version change detected (5.2.7 -> 5.2.8); running CPU benchmarks 2005-11-24 17:34:01 [Einstein@Home] Computer ID: 434387; location: home; project prefs: default 2005-11-24 17:34:01 [Predictor @ Home] Computer ID: 170903; location: home; project prefs: default 2005-11-24 17:34:01 [SETI@home] Computer ID: 1601549; location: home; project prefs: default 2005-11-24 17:34:01 [rosetta@home] Computer ID: 51161; location: home; project prefs: default 2005-11-24 17:34:01 [---] General prefs: from rosetta@home (last modified 2005-11-09 18:50:12) 2005-11-24 17:34:01 [---] General prefs: no separate prefs for home; using your defaults 2005-11-24 17:34:01 [---] Remote control allowed 2005-11-24 17:34:03 [---] Running CPU benchmarks 2005-11-24 17:35:02 [---] Benchmark results: 2005-11-24 17:35:02 [---] Number of CPUs: 1 2005-11-24 17:35:02 [---] 1349 double precision MIPS (Whetstone) per CPU 2005-11-24 17:35:02 [---] 2432 integer MIPS (Dhrystone) per CPU 2005-11-24 17:35:02 [---] Finished CPU benchmarks 2005-11-24 17:35:03 [Einstein@Home] Deferring computation for result w1_1174.0__1174.2_0.1_T12_S4hC_2 2005-11-24 17:35:03 [rosetta@home] Resuming computation for result 1di2__abrelax_rand_len10_jit02_omega_sim_19011_0 using rosetta version 479 2005-11-24 17:35:03 [SETI@home] Deferring computation for result 24ja04aa.11699.17040.497156.116_2 2005-11-24 17:35:03 [---] Resuming computation and network activity 2005-11-24 17:35:03 [---] request_reschedule_cpus: Resuming activities 2005-11-24 17:35:03 [Einstein@Home] Restarting result w1_1174.0__1174.2_0.1_T12_S4hC_2 using einstein version 481 2005-11-24 17:35:03 [rosetta@home] Pausing result 1di2__abrelax_rand_len10_jit02_omega_sim_19011_0 (left in memory) 2005-11-24 17:35:08 [rosetta@home] Sending scheduler request to http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta_cgi/cgi 2005-11-24 17:35:08 [rosetta@home] Reason: To fetch work 2005-11-24 17:35:08 [rosetta@home] Requesting 3191 seconds of new work SIGILL: illegal instructionStack trace (3 frames): /home/rick/BOINC/boinc_client[0x8180243] [0xffffe420] ID: 193774 ·
