Fedora 11 has its firewall enabled by default.
Make sure you've either allowed boinc/seti through the firewall or disable the firewall altogether.

Can you tell me, what the new "way" is to get a team's crunch-stats as XML file - if there is any?


You could use the team_id param rather than name, ie
http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/team_lookup.php?team_id=30893
3) Message boards : Number crunching : Boinc manager opens the wrong browser (Message 891120)

I used to have this problem many moons ago but a fix like Ageless posted got it working for me.

I'm guessing your "make a link on the desktop" is an icon that starts BoincManager.
You should be able to amend the settings for that icon such that it will start your preferred browser (firefox)

It will be similar to the above workaround, open a command window and type which firefox
On my system that would return /usr/bin/firefox so I'll use that for an example.
Open the preferences of that icon and click the Application tab.

You need to get the Command field to do 3 things
1, set the BROWSER variable
2, move into the boinc directory
3, start BoincManager

again, for my system that will be
export BROWSER=/usr/bin/firefox; cd /home/ajs/BOINC; ./boincmgr
amend that line to suit your system and be careful not to miss any semicolons or dots
Save the settings and give it a go :D

Having in the past had a farm with 50+ machines, both on the local lan and remote wan, my biggest complaint with BV was the time it took to read all the machines due to its inability to easily enable/disable groups of machines.
Yes, I could enable/disable single machines but with 50+ machines this quickly becomes a pain. I used an early version of BV so it could well have included this functionality in later versions.

I eventually went with boincphpgui (which also seems to be dead now) and wrote my own front end which supported machine grouping.

So, could you include support for machine grouping please :)

Thanks for all your help. I got the solution by following what you both wrote

Oops, sorry for not replying earlier but glad you're up & running.

I think your main problem was as Gundolf said in that your initial attach command didn't go through correctly.

you worked it out in the end though, well done

Hi Stephen

hmmn, things look strange
it seems to have attached because its showing the seti project but...
it doesn't show the project name, it should show name: SETI@home
and it doesn't show your username or total credits

try an update with boinc_cmd --project http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/ update
wait a minute or so and then run the boinc_cmd --get_state command again and see if anything changes

edit
you did change your_seti_account_key to your seti account key didn't you?

You could use boinc_cmd to do almost everything the GUI boincmgr can do.

I'm not sure where boinc_cmd lives when installed through yum, so you may have to search for it.

Once you've found it, you can type boinc_cmd --help to see what it can do.
You probably need to run the attach command, something like
boinc_cmd --project_attach http://setiathome.berkeley.edu your_seti_account_key

9) Message boards : Number crunching : WOW...GPUGRID! (Message 811899)
Posted 25 Sep 2008 by Temujin
Post:
The only catch is that you need to run a development version of BOINC (6.3.11) to allow the GPU to be recognised.
A word of caution
While 6.3.11 was "meant" to enable CPU+GPU crunching, it has proved a tad troublesome and most GPUGrid users (but not all) have gone back to 6.3.10
It works for some but not for most :/
Use at your own risk

This is an excerpt of the result of command hwinfo --cpu in Linux:
Features: fpu,vme,de,pse,tsc,msr,pae,mce,cx8,apic,sep,mtrr,pge,mca,cmov,pat,pse36,clflush,

cx16,lahf_lm,cmp_legacy,svm,extapic,cr8legacy,ts,fid,vid,ttp,tm,stc
Of course I might install the SSE3 application and see if it works. That would be a litmus test.
Tullio

In Linux, SSE3 is sometimes indicated by pni (Prescott New Instruction I think) so the SSE3 app should work

Last week I put Debian lenny amd64 on here and got pretty horrible crunching times compared to XP 32.
I did a minimal install, yanked pretty much everything that was left out of the OS and compiled a very minimal kernel (2.6.25). Using the KWSN vs AK vs stock BOINC made no noticable difference,

I don't doubt that there may be problems specific to Debian but are you sure the opti apps installed properly because you should see huge differences AK->KWSN->Stock

did you see Found app_info.xml; using anonymous platform in the messages tab when starting either opti app?
Can you post links to some of the results?

you could try Crunch3rs site

Post:
.....and when I fired things back up and boinc started, my project was gone! It's still in the folder where I left it, but boinc seems to have lost the configuration or something!

Check that your auto start script (if any) is changing to your boinc directory before starting boinc.

For example, If you're just running /home/me/BOINC/boinc the boinc process does not know to look in /home/me/BOINC

Instead you should run cd /home/me/BOINC; ./boinc

15) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : Problem with download (bonic_5.10.45_i686-pc-linuxgnu.sh) not installing (Message 735310)
Posted 6 Apr 2008 by Temujin
Post:
axxe@axxe-desktop:~$ sh bonic_5.10.45_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh
sh: Can't open bonic_5.10.45_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh


A typo methinks :)
Also, the install file "usually" comes down without execute permission, so you could try
chmod +x boinc_5.10.45_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh
and then retry your
sh ./boinc_5.10.45_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh

Hi Dick, Its nothing to worry about.
Each work unit is sent to 2 people, you and Robert
If yours and Roberts results are the same, you will be awarded credit.

If the results are different, the work unit will be sent out to another person until 2 matching results are received.

Oops, just checked and you're the founder, oh well
This could still work but would take some time.
Get one of your other team members to initiate a team founders fransfer, that will send an email to your Ben Adar email account and will timeout after 2 months (I think) and that member will then become founder.
That member will then have access to your Ben Adar email address

As your Ben Adar account is a member of Seti Berlin, the founder of Seti Berlin will have access to your Ben Adar email address.
See if you can contact the Seti Berlin founder and explain whats happened.

Hello JAMC! if you don't mind, where did you locate the setiathome.berkeley.edu' folder?

You can find it by running the following command (as root)

We've got Pete up & running now.

There was a small error in his boinc startup script so we changed chown -R boinc.boinc ~boinc to chown -R boinc:users /home/boinc (not sure why that was in there but we left it in)

Also got a desktop shortcut to boinc_manager working for him but needed to give him a blank gui_rpc file for it to work.

And we got him running chickens core2 app

happy crunching Pete
