2) Message boards : Number crunching : How do I get help? (Message 182125) Posted 25 Oct 2005 by groucho Post: Do a search for BoincDV and download it from Skips site. Run it. It's a window$ program..... I'll wait for a while, quiet in my corner without complaining, though.
3) Message boards : Number crunching : How do I get help? (Message 182122) Posted 25 Oct 2005 by groucho Post: > What are the numbers for short-term and long-term debt for each of the projects? I don't know how to get this numbers. > How much work do you have waiting for the other projects, do any have deadlines coming close (particularly CPDN)? No deadlines coming close. Come on... I know all this things.... I've been using boinc for a while now. Everything worked ok, then I updated boinc and the projects do not swap anymore. > In Preferences, what do you have for Switch between applications every...? 1 hour > What entries are you seeing in the Messages tab, would you copy and past a representative sample of them here, including those when you contact SETI@Home? All messages are: begin Wu / end wu / upload / begin wu/ end wu / upload... Never asks for more WU

You can look at mine and see what I would see of yours ... there really is not much reason to hide them ... And it does make it easier to help ... Not hidden anymore. Boinc 5.2.4 Linux Debian 2.6.12-1-686-smp

6) Message boards : Number crunching : How do I get help? (Message 182084) Posted 25 Oct 2005 by groucho Post: First line of defense is the Wiki ... I did that. Found nothing The second is to clearly state the problem, describe your system, and ask clear questions. I did that If some one suggests you try something, you try that ... Nobody suggested anything I will be honest, I "patrol" the NC forum and I don't recall seeing your question ... So, this is one of the places to go ... ask away ... http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=21400 http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=21388 http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=20928
7) Message boards : Number crunching : How do I get help? (Message 182082) Posted 25 Oct 2005 by groucho Post: This may seem a bit fatalist, but if you're not getting answers then maybe nobody knows. That's what I thought, but my hope was that there was a way to get to the developers.... Your problem with Earliest Deadline First may be down to you running too many projects on a slow machine, and the computer is overcommitted. I can't tell from looking at your computers - they're hidden - and you haven't said how many projects you are running. If you can provide a lot more information about your project list and specification of computer(s) maybe someone can give you a few pointers. I'm running a Linux with 2 cpus. It's not a slow machine at all. And I'm running mainly Seti, CPDN, Einstein and Rosetta Thanks
8) Message boards : Number crunching : How do I get help? (Message 182079) Posted 25 Oct 2005 by groucho Post: Hi all, I've been asking some questions both on this forum and in the Help forum, but nobody answered. If no one answers, is there any other way to get help? I cannot ask in the /dev/ forum because I cannot get an account there. Thank you, G
9) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : Boinc 5.2.4 not switching projects (Message 180696) Posted 21 Oct 2005 by groucho Post: I forgot to add that my computer is running Debian 2.6.12-1-686-smp Thanks, G Note for the moderators: I've been trying to get some answers to some problems I'm having with boinc. I've asked them on the forums but I got no answers. Is there any other way to get help?
10) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : Boinc 5.2.4 not switching projects (Message 180323) Posted 20 Oct 2005 by groucho Post: Hi, I'm running several projects on boinc and, even if none of the WUs is close to the deadline, boinc crunches each WU according to the most recent deadline, so it doesn't switch between projects. Also, it doesn't ask from more WUs. So, as I'm running CPDN, once all other project WUs have been finished, it will run CPDN eternally. Any suggestion? Thanks G
11) Message boards : Number crunching : Please, help: Tiny fonts for boincmgr 5.2.4 for linux (Message 180250) Posted 20 Oct 2005 by groucho Post: Hi, Please, could someone help me with this? The fonts that the boinc manager displays in my computer are so small that they are very hard to read. Any solution? Thank you, G
12) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : Boinc v5.1.8 tiny font size (Message 177528) Posted 13 Oct 2005 by groucho Post: I still have the same problem with 5.2.1. Anyone can help? Thanks
13) Message boards : Number crunching : tiny font size with v5.1.8 in Linux (Message 174793) Posted 6 Oct 2005 by groucho Post: Hi all, I'm using the last boincmgr available, version 5.1.8. But the font size it's using is so small that I can barely read it. Do you know how I can fix that? thanks G

15) Message boards : Number crunching : WU pending since August 2004 (Message 153727) Posted 19 Aug 2005 by groucho Post: Hi, First of all, I was not complaining, I was informing that I had a WU pending for more than a year. This fact may be interesting to the developers or administratiors. Second, I also have lots of WU pending, but these are recent WU and I didn't say anything about that. Third, I don't think Seti@Home is in BETA period. Fourth, If none says there's a bug, it cannot be fixed. Last, Have a good day. G ::::Not directed at any one person:::: QUIT the complaining, SETI folks are aware. The issue is being worked. We ALL have WUs that are pending. I have over 150 myself. They will be validated as soon as possible. People, no-one is making you run SETI/BOINC. This is the BETA period for this program. This is when the bugs are worked out. Get used to it. IF the program ran with no issues, front end or back end, it would be production. This is NOT the case. I enjoy running the SETI program. I am fully aware that this is still the BETA period for this project. Sorry for the rant, I just get frustrated reading all the posts saying why isn't it working and fix it now.
16) Message boards : Number crunching : WU pending since August 2004 (Message 152817) Posted 18 Aug 2005 by groucho Post: Not only went AWOL, it also went to a party and is still suffering hangover... This one has clearly gone AWOL. One of the results is still In Progress since August 2004. Didn't we have a DB outage about that time that trashed a bunch of WUs?
17) Message boards : Number crunching : WU pending since August 2004 (Message 152737) Posted 17 Aug 2005 by groucho Post: Any idea why this WU is still pending? Thank you, G
18) Message boards : Number crunching : BOINC Client 4.35 (Message 105469) Posted 29 Apr 2005 by groucho Post: > Looks like they have set up the code that makes the client work on those WU's > that have the earliest report deadline. > any idea if it runs the WU with the earlist report deadline until it's finished, without using the resource share we decided? Because if that's how it works, then projects with short deadlines will have an advantage over projects like ClimatePrediction that would never run. G
19) Message boards : Number crunching : BOINC 4.30 (Message 98855) Posted 14 Apr 2005 by groucho Post: > Did anyone have problems with setup 4.30? I tried in Linux, but it didn't work ok for me. Two reasons. 1- I think I doesn't have the fonts used in the left bar. 2- It does not connect to the localhost. g
