you seem to have a problem with misinterpreting people's posts as malice when it's more just "thinking out loud". Again, no FUD here, i was just trying to understand what was happening. there was no scurrying, just my realization that the settings i thought were in use, in fact, were not. Brent was quite helpful there.

Dude, anyone can go back over the last few weeks of posts and see the pattern.
I don't take kindly to the stunt you pulled at WOW.
Congratulations, you've made the list.

I might point out that Stephen knows all about the Repository version of BOINC, that's why he is trying to install the Berkeley version.
Who knows he might succeed this time.

. . Yep, while I have come to terms with the repository version on Donkey (this rig) and learned to live (and work) with it, I definitely prefer a version that resides all in the one folder, and can be shut down/restarted with a single or double click on a button or icon, rather than opening a terminal windows and typing it commands. Command line interfaces are just fine, but the whole point of a GUI is to not need to do that. I can confidently say that I have no problems working with Petri or TBar's apps, just with Linux ... :)

. . I will have a crack at re-installing Lubuntu later today and like TBar said, maybe this time I will get it to work :)

the only pattern is me asking questions.
the only stunt pulled at wow was placing 4th. not that it matters anyway. its just fun and games event.

chill out.

Ok. Everyone has had their last (calmer, I hope) words.

Lets try to give it a rest.

Who knows, maybe the stock Linux stuff will FINALLY work ;)

I want to thank both Tbar and Ian&Steve C. for being personally helpful in my awkward journey from not very good windows guy to a lot worse Linux guy ;)

I am pleased to announce that I now have 4 different boxes running Boinc/Seti under Linux. Without the very generous efforts of EVERYONE in this message thread, I seriously doubt I would be enjoying tasks being blown through in 3-4 minutes on some Gtx 1060's. And being blown through in about 10 minutes on 3 different Gtx 750Ti's.

I am sure these are not records but they are so much faster than Stock Seti, it isn't funny.

So, PLEASE pat yourself on the backs for suffering through all of this with me. And I am not even trying to run the very fastest versions, just the ones I finally got to work for me.

Respectfully,
Tom

Hi Tbar & Others. Looking the invalids on my host i see thisWU:

https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/workunit.php?wuid=3116569820

As you could see the Cuda 9.2 shows 0 Pulses and the others two shows 17.

Another WU:

https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/workunit.php?wuid=3116430691
This time the CUDA shows 30 Pulses and the others 28 Pulses + 2 triplets.

Please note, I not know and have no ideia is that is right or wrong, just pointed the inconclusive WU's. So better trained eyes could enlight us about if possible.

certainly a minor behavior

bad arg: -pfl
bad arg: 512

sometimes the app found 2 1080Ti and 2 1070 and run fine

https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=6939030587

other times 1 1080TI and 3 1070 and run bad

https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=6935070850

seems curious isn't it ..

for theses 2 WU the device 2 is selected ,

It looks as though getting all Triplets on some Overflows is still there. That problem has been around for a very long time. Fortunately it only happens every few days, or at least it use to be that way. Keep an eye on it and see if you see it more often. I've got one of those myself, but mine is only half filled with Triplets and half Pulses.
Back when Jason was trying to build a Windows App that's the problem he cited. Everything would be running fine and suddenly it was producing Overflows filled with Triplets. That's the last I heard about a Windows build, fortunately that doesn't happen in Linux and MacOS.

I just found a couple more Overflows filled with Triplets. With all the current Overflows you'll probably see a few of them filled with Triplets.

As for the Pulses completely missing, as well as the Best Pulse missing, I tracked a similar problem down to a GPU not fitting squarely in the Slot. It was tilted slightly upwards. See if you keep getting the same problem with the same GPU.

Yes that was left behind when i update de app. Allready fixed.

That's is normal. I add 2 x 1080Ti this last days, one at a time. Now running with 2x1080+2x1070
About the device 2, i belive was a coincidence, the device is a 1070 who is running for a while without any trouble at all. At least my invalid count was very low.

"bad arg: -pfl
bad arg: 512"

The flag -pfl N is not supported any more.
Please do not try it with UPPERCASE. It is still there so that I can test it on offline benchmarks and bug hunting.

Same applies to -pfe.

Ok will keep an eye on that. I just want to report because you ask to do that because the newer app.

I hear about that too.

As for the Pulses completely missing, as well as the Best Pulse missing, I tracked a similar problem down to a GPU not fitting squarely in the Slot. It was tilted slightly upwards. See if you keep getting the same problem with the same GPU.

Will check that, of course, but it's hard to be that because i use a cube case, the GPU's are in the vertical position and firmily fixed. The host crunches 1000's of WU every day, and only few (3 yesterday) WU are mark as invalids and all from diferent GPU's.
Interference from Cosmic ray's or lighthing strikes are more likely. LOL

Anyway the app is running fine and crunching very fast.
Congratz for this nice piece of software and thanks for make that avaiable to us.

I allready fix that when i see the error the first time, now the cmdline is only:

Hey Petri,
With all these Overflowing BLC11 tasks is there something different we can do to find out why some overflows end up Invalid filled with Triplets?

If anyone can find an Overflow filled with Triplets before it becomes Invalid and disappears, you need to grab it. Just look for an Overflow and see if it's all Triplets.
Unfortunately, it seem those filled with Triplets are Arecibo Tasks....oh well.

I've seen quite a few but I haven't caught them before being invalidated. I'll keep looking.

What do you mean by grabbing it or catching it before being invalidated? Can you reprocess it somehow? Or just copy the WU file for more investigation?

Think I´ll try overclocking , if I can figure it out...

Is the explanation in this post still good today?
