Hi,

For several weeks, I have been getting the following messages:
"Message from server: Your app_info.xml file doesn't have a usable version of SETI@home v7".

So I eventually went up to the lunatics website (http://lunatics.kwsn.net/index.php?module=Downloads;catd=1) and downloaded a new app. I downloaded this one: "Linux 64bit Multibeam V7 for SSE3 CPUs (r1848), June 2013".

I unpackaged it, copied the appropriate files to my project directory and appended the included app_info.xml to my existing one.

Unfortunately, my machine is no longer processing cuda apps on my NVIDIA card, and I am still getting the messages about not having a usable version of Seti@home V7.

So either I downloaded the wrong file, or I mucked up my app_info.xml. Here are the contents of my app_info file (not including the **Begin and **End).
**Begin

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance,

Read "Porting s@h V7 to Linux" (= the CUDA Linux app is not ready/ported yet)
http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=71818

And the part about setiathome_v7 (in what you posted) for CPU looks very wrong (names do not match and you do not have ATI but NVIDIA GeForce GT 520):
<name>MBv7_7.05r1848_sse3_linux64</name> <- this is maybe the CPU app name
<file_name>MBv7_7.05r1844_sse2_clATI_HD5_linux64</file_name> <- this is for ATI GPU

BilBg,

Thanks, I actually noticed the same thing after I posted it. The <File_info> line seems to have the correct name, but the <file_name> does not.

This is directly copied from the unedited app_info that came with the package I downloaded. Looks like that is corrupted. How do you notify them (i.e. Lunatics) of this?

In the meantime, how do I get back to processing Cuda WUs? Do I just remove this "section" from the app_info and restart BOINC?

No, 'just' read again the first line of my previous post ;)


But I think this old package is compatible with setiathome_v7
01-Linux 64bit Cuda Multibeam (x41g), Dec 2011

You need to change in its app_info part:
<name>setiathome_enhanced</name>
...
<app_name>setiathome_enhanced</app_name>
<version_num>611</version_num>
<plan_class>cuda_fermi</plan_class>

to:
<name>setiathome_v7</name>
...
<app_name>setiathome_v7</app_name>
<version_num>700</version_num>
<plan_class>cuda42</plan_class>

You may also need to do for all executable files:
chmod +x MBv7_7.05r1848_sse3_linux64


This is example of similar section for Windows for reference:
