. . Ruh Roh,

. . The weekend has started and there is less (probably) than 2 days work on the splitters. Things could get tight about Sunday night Berkely time.

. . Cross your fingers ....

I read what you are saying. I believe it will be nice to clear some files that have been sitting for some time if nothing gets automatically loaded over the weekend

It really depends on the data. I think we might have enough to last until EARLY monday morning, but honestly it would be so close that we would all panic. There is also a 6 hour RTS queue. I also know the seti team is great about just adding more files over the weekend, so at this point I have no panic, but that might change on Sunday night.

While I'm personally finding this whole Linux thread interesting, perhaps a mod could move the whole thing to another thread as it clearly has nothing to do with the SETI servers being in Panic Mode?

There are a number of threads like this one in "Number crunching" that should probably be in "Questions & Answers" under their respective OS.

As "Number crunching" has become something of a mixed-bag it is difficult to see where this thread should be.

Perhaps a simple name change to reflect it's Linux-ness :)

What do others think?

Keep it short please.

(I'll remove this and follow up posts when some overall agreement or 3 days have past.)

Of course the Mods as a whole may have a better quicker solution.

Move the Linux related posts to either "Don't know where it should go? Stick it here!" https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=82901

or to "Setting up Linux to crunch CUDA90 and above for Windows users" https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=81271

. . Since the most recent messages are all about the work available on the servers I don't see how you consider that to be " a Linux thread".

. . Please forgive my goldfish memory, I had already blocked out Cosmic Ocean's problems ... :(

. . I have to agree that all the 'what version works' messages should be in an OS related thread. It's a pity that TBar's development related thread is now locked I think ... it would have been the most appropriate for that discussion.

Hi Juan,

It is way too early to try to attempt to use that method. It's only 7AM here where I live. lol ;)

Have a great day! :)

I spent the last sunday's outage reading Boinc source code trying to find out what it would take to increase my work queue enough to survive these. Now it is paying off :)

Greetings,

I am dangerously close to running out of GPU WUs on Minty-Winders. I'm good for another half hour and then I'll have NONE. :(

There's a pattern to this weekly debacle. The first week I thought I jinxed the whole thing because I was running BOINC on a new OS, Linux Mint v19.2. But now? I don't know...

Have a great day! :)

Siran

I am now out of GPU WUs. :(

Hi Ville,

I'm starting to see the benefit to the "spoofing" thing. In less than a half hour I'll be out of GPU WUs. My problem is, I'm running Linux and don't have a clue about programming and compiling on Linux. :(

Have a great day! :)

. . Yep, Apache is on the war path for the 3rd consecutive week. ... I know but somebody had to say it ...

. . We need someone to write a kludge to give Apache the appropriate kick in the appropriate place at about 5 am each Sunday morning Berkeley time, just to keep things working ...

I think we're back in business!

22/09/2019 14:54:35 | SETI@home | Reporting 128 completed tasks
22/09/2019 14:54:39 | SETI@home | Scheduler request completed: got 127 new tasks

That's quite quick for a big request.

And a batch of new BLC35 tapes, too.

I don't have too, just follow the instructions in: https://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/CompileClient

The code is in the standard C++, last time i see something like it was >35 Years ago in my engineering school.

About the outage, that was fast! I only could drink a couple of beers. You see Richard technique works perfect. LOL

Hi Juan,

Sorry, but I'm not even going to attempt that. I went to GitHub and saw ALL those files without a clue about them. I'm not a programmer, let alone a Linux programmer. Sure, back in the day, I dabbled in C++ programming and some B.A.S.I.C., but gave it up because my brain was not up to the task. Memory has never been good and learning sucks. It takes way too long for me to learn things, especially complicated things like computer programming. So, I stay away from it even if I could benefit from it as in this case. :)

I guess Richard's technique does work. But, when I did drink beer, I didn't drink before 5 or 6 in the afternoon. It's morning here. :)

Have a great day! :)
