Posted 5 Apr 2020 by ![]() ![]() Post: If you are going "around and around" with Ubuntu 18.4.x for anything from the logon loop to not being able to get the Nvidia drivers to install via "Launchpad" then you might want to try Zorin (core).Now that I've refreshed my ux head a bit, I can't say I've found much grief with 18.04. Do you ever use the LInux box to remote into windows? I am having a heck of a time...... |

SETI@home and COVID-19
(Message 2042004)
Posted 31 Mar 2020 by ![]() ![]() Post: For those wanting to do Covid-19 tasks, use Rosetta@home if you still want to use the BOINC umbrella. I would say 75%-100% of tasks I am pulling are Covid-19 related. It should be noted that Rosetta is RAM intensive and can use up to 2GB RAM per CPU job. Unfortunately, the project does not support GPUs. |

Posted 22 Mar 2020 by ![]() ![]() Post: They did a month ago and provided results. But I don't think they are currently running any Corona virus campaigns. I am running Rosetta and currently have a bunch of WUs with Covid-19 in name..... |

SETI@home hibernation
(Message 2039613)
Posted 22 Mar 2020 by ![]() ![]() Post: Sad to see the hibernation, but there is an urgent need now to "solve" the Chinese Disease COVID-19 problem. I am going to mostly do Rosetta as well near term.... I am not sure why it is so unpopular.... |

I am new to Linux as well, what options if any do you set for the watch command? |

Posted 12 Feb 2020 by ![]() ![]() Post: No worries, I only check this a few times a day and usually am behind the conversation when I do. I have the count set to 1 and I am much faster now. I look forward to tweaking later this weekend. What I really need to do is put a custom cooling loop in for my CPU and OC the shit out of it........ |

Posted 12 Feb 2020 by ![]() ![]() Post: I have my count set to .33 on my gpu and i suspect that is the culprit since I am running three wu per gpu. I just switched it to .5 to see if that helps I trimmed 30 seconds off of each run by going to .5 count. I am not sure which is better a slightly longer run but multiples at a time or balls to the wall and set to 1 for 1 at a time |

Posted 12 Feb 2020 by ![]() ![]() Post: I still need to tweak settings for sure. I just got up and running and when I attached to all my backup projects I downloaded a ton of WUs from them. It will be a week until this machine is only running seti. I installed the AIO and I thought that I saw -noobs set already in the supplied config file. I will have to revisit for sure as I should be under a min WU time |

Posted 11 Feb 2020 by ![]() ![]() Post: i installed openCL before I updated the driver so you may have to do that as a separate command as I am unsure if it is included. |

Posted 11 Feb 2020 by ![]() ![]() Post: For the most recent Nvidia drivers I installed from https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+index using the commands: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa sudo apt-get update I am running Linux Mint 19.2 with dual Nvidia RTX 2070 super and have had no issues for the past two days. I installed driver 440.59 and it works great. Be warned though, these are not official drivers. |

Posted 9 Feb 2020 by ![]() ![]() Post: i did a fresh install of Linux as was suggested from the beginning of my problems but went with Mint, already working better with my setup. I am not sure if it is the thread-ripper or the dual cards that were causing the problem in Ubuntu. I am maxed out now and my tower might as well be a space heater ) |
