And yes, Semis are a law unto themselves, kind of like a rhino is...

. . Actually, the harder a system is to implement and use properly the smarter you need to be, I guess that is why I am having trouble with Linux :)

:)

. . Ok then I guessed wrong, I had nothing missing at all, thanks for that information.

. . I am hoping to get those so.8.0 libraries from Michael. Is there anything else I need? Apparently there are different apps for either SSE or AVX under Linux.

. . Is there any particular reason for the 6 hour time limit? I can abort any unfinished work but I was wondering what the rush was for?

And there's the rub. For Windows, the whole reason I created the Lunatics Installers in the first place (since handed off to the very capable Richard) , In Linux regimes there has been zero recognition of where Windows actually excels. That is in catering to new and prospective users. Make it simple, make it obvious, and make help 'nice'. Frankly most Linux help people are nerdy A-holes. Not to say you must condescend to Apple levels, but jeez, try act like you are trying to sell a product, since that's what you seem to want to do.

in my opinion, it has nothing to do with making things complicated or being rude to others... new users are expected to read and learn, instead of getting answers to every question they ask. It's not because linux people are condescending (ok maybe some are) but it is the only way to properly help someone...

I do agree there is a problem though, and that's the way things are documented...

Excellent point of order. And accepting the status quo as poor documentation, How would you make great documentation for people ? Or is the free help provided by people now saving people from reading ?

. . Yes, I can't say anybody has been rude to me, everyone has been nice and helpful throughout my confused efforts, but the documentation is very poor, one of the best I found was a document on Linux file structures by published by Dell. It is very useful and coherent. It actually provided information about what the file structure types were and which you should use for what purpose. Almost every other document just said there are partition format types and then listed every directory name in the Linux vocabulary without any coherent explanation. Not helpful.

Stephen

?

. . That's very kind of you Mike but it was the xxx.so.8.0 libraries we need to get :)

Stephen

Unless they are the same thing but that would be very confusing. Sounds like Linux to me.

@But what are gkrellm and psensor .... just temperature monitors.

I see you have one stock CUDA 60 task, so you must have the NVidia drivers right now. BTW they those took over 1 hour on my 1070 :(

I guess TBAR did say that, and to try the Cuda 4.2 he linked to. then search Lunatics for the SSE3/AVX multibeam/astropulse apps (that match your CPU), ad in AP NVidia app, and manually install them for the anonymous platform. Then your off :D

oh and I just passed my 15M credits

Congrats on your 15M.
Oh, and I think your 1070 may climb to the top 10.

Hi,
RAC over 300 000. One machine, one machine only.

I haven't tried this but it might work without an xscreen...
sudo apt-get install nvclock
- To change GPU fan speed, write this:
nvclock -f -F 70
- 70 is % of speed

nvidia-settings -a [gpu:0]/GPUFanControlState=1 -a [fan:1]/GPUCurrentFanSpeed=60 -c :0.0

Why not connecting your display to one of your GTX 1070 ?
If so, you just need to add an extra line :
Option "Coolbits" "4"
in each of your "Device" section.
Reboot and you'll be able to control fan speed from nvidia-settings.

I have one GTX 1070 (MSI Armor) : 70 C
The next one GTX 1070 (MSI Gaming X) : 80 C ...increasing fan step to 90% make temperature falling to 75 C

I'm a little bit disappointed by the MSI Gaming...reviews were claiming maximum temperature of 70 C
