1) Questions and Answers : Windows : User activity detection broken? (Message 173926) Posted 3 Oct 2005 by Michael Letzgus-Koppmann Post: Hi folks, I'm running setiathome@BOINC 4.45 on a WinXP SP2 multiuser machine. I think there is a problem with the detection of user activities. The profile for my machine is set to "Do work only after computer is idle for 4 minutes". User A logs on, works for a while, after 4 minutes idle (the computer!) boinc starts working, everthing OK so far. But: If someone logs on as user B, then boinc starts working as well. Maybe because user A is now idle for 4 minutes, but not the machine! Is this a bug in boinc? Is it a even feature? How can I configure it that boinc only runs if the whiole machine is idle? That means NO user is active! [By the way: The boinc system service is running with user B's account.] thanks, Michael

2) Questions and Answers : Windows : seti-client dies and becomes a real zombie (Message 57280) Posted 25 Dec 2004 by Michael Letzgus-Koppmann Post: > Does the event log show anything about the problem? Usually DrWatson is > called to handle program exceptions. No, there's nothing about the boinc client in the event log. DrWatson isn't working since I installed Borland C++ Builder, including Borlands debugger. To investigate the "seti-zombie", I used a tool called "Process Explorer". There are tons of information about memory usage, state of signal pipes, file handles available. Even manual closing of signal pipes and removing of unhandled events/exceptions is possible, but the seti-client is still not removeable from memory. Windows' task scheduler won't release it... ;) > If you aren't getting any crashdumps, maybe drwatson isn't set as the default > debugger. Run "drwtsn32 -i" (run command in the start menu) to set it as the Hm, ok. See above ;) Next time it crashes, I'll gather some more information. Michael

3) Questions and Answers : Windows : seti-client dies and becomes a real zombie (Message 57155) Posted 25 Dec 2004 by Michael Letzgus-Koppmann Post: > Upgrade to 4.13! > > Oh, sorry, my fault. My BOINC software is of course 4.13, the running seti-client is 4.08. I accidentally wrote core client.... I noticed that this happens very often if I got a lot of noisy work units. Maybe there's a problem with memory management in case of too much (noisy) results ? Michael

4) Questions and Answers : Windows : seti-client dies and becomes a real zombie (Message 56705) Posted 23 Dec 2004 by Michael Letzgus-Koppmann Post: Hi, sometimes, the core client (4.08) hangs and can't be killed or restarted, system must be rebooted to run it again. System ist WinXP SP2 on Athlon64, 512 MB RAM. The remaining state of the client in memory is "KernelObjectsCritSecOutOfMemoryEvent" This always seems to happen after finishing a workunit. Michael

5) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : ./configure on alpha ev67 @debian/testing fails (Message 3710) Posted 3 Jul 2004 by Michael Letzgus-Koppmann Post: the configure-script delivered with the seti@home-sourbecode fails (see below) on my Alpha EV67 running Debian/testing @Kernel 2.6.7.
