1) Message boards : Number crunching : Network going Down? (Message 119015) Posted 5 Jun 2005 by abject Post: Seems to have started uploading again (don't need more work just yet...) about an hour ago. Of course, there'll be a traffic jam for a while... Ah, and from the front page: June 4, 2005 Update: the scheduling and data servers are back on line. Service may be a bit slow for a while.

2) Questions and Answers : Web site : Technical News in Time Warp (Message 112068) Posted 17 May 2005 by abject Post: Erm... Is this a bug, or is this (and the long eerie silence on XML stats) a new (or, perhaps, the bad old) un-communications policy?

3) Message boards : Number crunching : New faster BOINC and SETI clients for AMD now available [for Linux] (Message 111971) Posted 17 May 2005 by abject Post: ... I would suggest everybody running 64bit Linux to switch over to this new seti client, it certainly rocks! Will do! My A64 3200+ is getting a serious inferiority complex!

4) Message boards : Number crunching : New faster BOINC and SETI clients for AMD now available [for Linux] (Message 111391) Posted 15 May 2005 by abject Post: Not to look a gift horse in the mouth or anything... but these XP clients are *so* fast, my XP2200 and XP2400 are theatening my Athlon64 3200+ !! An equally souped-up AMD64 client would be way cool! :)

5) Message boards : Number crunching : XML Data feed snag? (Message 111390) Posted 15 May 2005 by abject Post: No update to S@H stats on boincstats.com for 24 hours. Is this problem back again? (Please! I'm not sucking around for the "Why we do this" lecture; I just really like to watch those stats :)

6) Questions and Answers : Web site : 3rd Party stats behind. Has Replica db fallen behind again? (Message 110591) Posted 12 May 2005 by abject Post: Solved. XML has been updated, 3rd party stats sites sucking it up.

9) Questions and Answers : Web site : 3rd Party stats behind. Has Replica db fallen behind again? (Message 110341) Posted 12 May 2005 by abject Post: "Website" looks like the best fit for this Q, sorry if I've misunderestimated... Anyway, Boincstats.com's S@H stats haven't updated for over 2 days. Is the problem on their end, or has the replica db they use (see time-warped Tech News page ;) ) fallen behind again?

10) Questions and Answers : Web site : Technical News in Time Warp (Message 110126) Posted 11 May 2005 by abject Post: Sometime in the past week or so, the Technical News section had a flashback to April, and now seems to be stuck there. THought you might like to know. :)

For Debian, the "native" library is in the package zlib1g-dev. The AMD64-from-i386 version is in the AMD64-libs-dev package. But I had the native version installed at the time. Thanks, though, Aki

There is an IA32-libs package, which is installed. There are no nightly tarballs and the CVS sources don't come with a pre-built configure or Makefile script. The seem to need autoconf and automake, and I'm without a clue about that stuff... - Larry.

13) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : where are the nightly tarballs? (Message 85439) Posted 12 Mar 2005 by abject Post: I don't know where they are either, so I just pulled from CVS. The handy command line is right there on the page - http://boinc.berkeley.edu/source_code.php As of now, it says: <p> cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@alien.ssl.berkeley.edu:/home/cvs/cvsroot checkout boinc <p> for the latest version, or <p> cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@alien.ssl.berkeley.edu:/home/cvs/cvsroot checkout boinc_public <p> for the latest "released" version. I can't get either to build under Debian AMD64, though :(

I suspect that I need to complile a seti client for AMD64, which I've flailed at for a couple of days. If so, a cry for help with that will be my next post : But, just to confirm - I've downloaded several different BOINC clients - the "standard" x86, optimized XP, optimized AMD64, etc. All start up OK, download a seti client (if necessary) and WUs. Then, the fun begins: [...] 2005-03-12 17:15:59 [SETI@home] Starting result 07ja05aa.26430.23249.348568.155_1 using setiathome version 4.02 2005-03-12 17:15:59 [SETI@home] Unrecoverable error for result 07ja05aa.26430.23249.348568.155_1 (process exited with code 127 (0x7f)) 2005-03-12 17:15:59 [SETI@home] Unrecoverable error for result 07ja05aa.26430.23249.348568.155_1 (process exited with code 127 (0x7f)) 2005-03-12 17:15:59 [SETI@home] Computation for result 07ja05aa.26430.23249.348568.155 finished [...] This is because the seti client can't work on AMD64, right?

15) Message boards : Number crunching : Pentium M vs. G5 (Message 81806) Posted 22 Feb 2005 by abject Post: [...] > Ok, my question is, is this normal? The Pentium M has a higher "measured > floating point speed" while the G5 has a higher "measured integer speed" and > which is more important to SETI@Home? [...] It may have to do with the optimizations of each client's respective compiler. This will affect the credit you get for completing WUs. You'll get different results for the *same* processor (not just the same model, the same actual chip) on Windoze and Linux Boinc clients because of the differences between the compilers used on each OS.

I have 57 pending WUs out there, from every month since July. As John MacLeod #7 says, it looks like the ones that didn't get 2 other matching results haven't been resent until this week. Patience. Again.

18) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : Upgraded to 4.13 client - now always (Message 36996) Posted 15 Oct 2004 by abject Post: I'm running 2.6.7 and a mixed Sarge/Sid. 4.09 won't upload for me, but 4.12 works fine. If I were you, I'd stick with 4.09 and wait for > 4.13 to see if they fix its problems.

19) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : Result exited with zero status but no 'finished' file (Message 36995) Posted 15 Oct 2004 by abject Post: What version of BOINC are you using? If it's not 4.12, upgrade or downgrade (4.13 has issues) to 4.12, is my recommendation

20) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : Upgraded to 4.13 client - now always (Message 36702) Posted 15 Oct 2004 by abject Post: 4.12 gave Winderz users problems. 4.13 for Winderz fixed thos problems. For Winderz 4.12 (linux) is working fine for me. Are you trying to solve some problem with 4.13? If not, I recommend you go back to 4.12.
