There seems to be some sort of problem running projects that have graphics.

Do you by chance have an onboard graphics chip? I mean one on the motherboard? If you do, then when you run graphics/screensaver, the CPU will use the other 50% for showing the graphics.

Do you have ThreadMaster or a similiar program that is limiting the SETI client to 50% CPU utilization?

Did the bump in the road from last weekend not teach you anything? Look at all the whinning and complaining we had last weekend when people couldn't upload results. Just imagine what it would be like if they shut Seti/BOINC down ENTIRELY! people would riot. There would be destruction in the streets. World governments would be overthrown. The earth would be knocked off its axis and the sun would collapse into a black hole.

I take it you mean not enough BOINC seti units to crunch to keep everyone happy. I am just curious as I think freeing up all the resources for BOINC SETI will make the job easier in the long run even if both classic and BOINC seti have to close down for a few weeks. We will survive if they do. After all, one purpose of BOINC is to have alternative projects for when one project temporairily shuts down. Thanks for the reply!

UGHH...

Now I remember why I got burned out on reading the S@H forums. Nothing but a bunch of bickering and complaining.

You are all a bunch of biddies staring at the computer screen looking for something to go wrong. When something doesn't work like it usually does you start jumping up and down and screaming about how incompetent the staff at Berkeley is.

I think I will stay with the Einstein and LHC forums. Although they move a lot slower, those people are much more positive and friendly.

The graphics don't work on the ATI X800XL series cards for Einstein or Seti Beta either. :-(

The new E@H in beta (as linked by Ageless) has working graphics on my ATI x800 Pro.

On Pirates we're trying to find out what causes the Ati cards not showing graphics for Einstein (and therefore Seti), KJF. That's mostly the 9600 and 9800 series cards. Not the mobile version chips in laptops. As far as I know they do things fine.

They haven't worked since Boinc CC 4.20, if I am not mistaken, so it's a tricky thing to try to break. Or repair.

Also, anything we find through Pirates won't be fixed overnight. As far as I understand we need new apps for the projects that don't show graphics, plus a new Boinc CC.

So just because you think you have graphics & a screensaver on your system, doesn't mean the rest of us graphics forsaken people do. ;)

Have you noticed what day it is today? Do you expect lab people to stay clogged up in their lab 24/7, ready to jump at the whims of the people and network/internet, or would you give them the right to see their families once in a while as well?

Besides that, who says they haven't been working on trying to fix the problem? What do you want? For them to fix the problem, or to spend precious time on typing something in on the front page, just saying that there is a problem, which we all know about already? I for one want them to fix it, fix it in their own time and have them spend time with their family, as it's weekend. Monday is soon enough.

I can't connect at all.

It is sad that they can not keep the computers running. One of my computers crunched a lot, but the time will expire before I can return them.

PS: I had hoped that BOINC would be more reliable than SETI was.

A tad unfair PS isn't it... Between starting crunching on 30 May 1999, and moving to BOINC 8-10 months back, I can count the number of times I was without Classic work on the fingers of one hand. For that matter, I have never run out of BOINC/SETI work either.

...One thing I like there is the lack of report deadlines -- something not really possible with BOINC due to the need to validate.

Look over to CPDN. They have a deadline of ~ 1 year. Their wu's take a lot time to crunch but they 'trickle' from time to time, so you get credits step by step.

Do you have the link to their home page?
