4) Message boards : Number crunching : BOINC 5.8.15 now recommended version (Message 525408) Posted 2 Mar 2007 by Dirigo Software, LLC Post: Actually, I should say that I did a "Repair" of my current 5.4.11 and then could install the new stuff...

5) Message boards : Number crunching : BOINC 5.8.15 now recommended version (Message 525406) Posted 2 Mar 2007 by Dirigo Software, LLC Post: Got it. Did a reinstall of the 5.4.11 I was running and then the new stuff went right through. Thanks!

6) Message boards : Number crunching : BOINC 5.8.15 now recommended version (Message 525400) Posted 2 Mar 2007 by Dirigo Software, LLC Post: Yeah, I'd love to update to the 5.8.15 but the installation can't seem to keep track of the BOINC.MSI file and won't install. When I search and find it myself I'm told the file isn't a valid installation file. Anyone have a clue?

I did the "transfer and activate" thing when I started up with BOINC. Same account name, same account e-mail, no worky. I have over 20,000 classic units completed. I'm gonna be one ripped mofo if I get screwed out of them....

When I started up with BOINC last June my classic stuff didn't get migrated over, either. I have a lot more done since then, too. And, once again, this latest sync yeilded squat, too. What gives???

11) Message boards : Number crunching : CC 4.21 as a service (Message 80750) Posted 19 Feb 2005 by Dirigo Software, LLC Post: > Any idea why installing as an account other than the logon-ed account has > problems, tho? Yeah. The way that 4.20 and 4.21 are setup to install as a service at the present time is under one specific Windows account. That service will only start for and run under that one specific account. I can't speak as to why the installation program is setup that way. My guess is that the guys don't want to assume that it's OK for the project to run at anytime, no matter who is or is not logged on at the time. So, it's setup to crunch only when the installer is logged on. Changing the service over to a "Local System Account" puts it into the "whoever and whenever" column, though, and you shouldn't have any problems with it, even if NO ONE is logged on (Windows sitting at the logon screen) - at least until the next version is installed, then you'll have to switch the accounts over again - oh um unless they change the installation program, of course...

12) Message boards : Number crunching : CC 4.21 as a service (Message 80465) Posted 18 Feb 2005 by Dirigo Software, LLC Post: Ken, The first thing I did after I installed 4.20 and then 4.21 was to go to my services, right-click and then stop BOINC, right-click BOINC and then select "Properties". Click on the "Log On" tab. Select "Local Systems Account" instead of "This Account:" I also select the "Allow service to interact with the desktop", as well. Press the OK button to close the dialog box. Right-click and then Start BOINC. It should crunch for anyone from this point forward.

13) Message boards : Number crunching : Anyone have a clue as to why Norton Ghost... (Message 76496) Posted 4 Feb 2005 by Dirigo Software, LLC Post: In case anyone is still interested, I have found that following the advise of Symantec and setting the DEP to "Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select:" has allowed my system to turn out WU's at the "normal", ~3 hour speed. So, anyone with Norton Ghost installed and running BOINC, set your DEP as listed. Later... K

Well, that makes as much sense as anything I can come up with, Walt. Still waiting to see how fast things go with this change. Will take a good day or two, I'm sure. K

15) Message boards : Number crunching : Anyone have a clue as to why Norton Ghost... (Message 71214) Posted 18 Jan 2005 by Dirigo Software, LLC Post: ** UPDATE ** OK, as for Symantec Tech Support and their answer for Ghost's hand in these things I'm experiencing: "Welcome to Symantec Online Technical Support. I understand from your message that after installing the product on your system, the network has slowed down. Kindly be aware that this issue can happen if Windows Service Pack 2 is installed on your system. Please be aware that Norton Ghost 9.0 is compatible with Windows XP Service Pack 2. However, you need to modify the Data Execution Prevention (DEP) policy to allow Norton Ghost 9.0 to launch its services during startup. Please refer to the document linked below for more information on resolving this issue: Title: 'Norton Ghost 9.0 compatibility with Windows XP Service Pack 2' Document ID: 2004101410380862 > Web URL: http://service1.symantec.com/Support/powerquest.nsf/docid/2004101410380862 Please let us know if the issue is resolved. Thank You for contacting Symantec Online Technical Support. Regards, Shanal George Symantec Authorized Technical Support" The document tells you to set the DEP to "Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select:" instead of the standard "Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services, only". I'm not sure this will do anything because Ghost and it's services started just fine with the standard DEP setting, and this document I was referred to says it won't. I've gone ahead and made the change and rebooted as the document instructs and will wait and see if this does anything for system speed. Anyone have any input on all this??? K

Can't predict what one-by-itself will do. I can already tell that working a single WU by itself on this HT system is not going as efficiently and as well as working with 2 WU's using "2 processors". I've got one WU right now at an hour and 12 minutes and it's only 57% done. And, my system has just been sitting here getting the occassional e-mail message every 10 minutes and nothing else. It needs to be at 80% complete to be on track for one WU in 1.5 hours. Setting the processor for 1 is inefficient. I'm resetting back to 2. K

Excepting time spent processing WU's > from other projects that is. Well, again, keeping in mind how this hyperthreading deal works, with 2 WU's running simultaneously I'm getting 2 SETI WU's in about 3 hours (+/- 10 minutes). So, if I set processors to 1 I'm still gonna be looking for 2 SETI WU's in about 3 hours, except now 1 in 1.5 hours and another right on it's heels in 1.5 hours. Is that what you're saying is going to happen here? > Keep them message logs around, so you can check the start/stop and > suspend/resume times for each WU. Thats the stdout.txt file in the BOINC > directory. If you restart BOINC, the old one is stdout.old. Won't I be able to just look at my results log onine and see the SETI WU's getting done with a CPU time of something around 5400 seconds instead of around 10,800?

EDIT: I've reset both projects to 1 processor and will try it out for a day or two to see if what you're telling me is true, Walt... Thanks. K

20) Message boards : Number crunching : Anyone have a clue as to why Norton Ghost... (Message 70419) Posted 16 Jan 2005 by Dirigo Software, LLC Post: Well, I just set processors to 1 and checked out the situation. As I expected, BOINC ran one WU, only. CPU utilization was at 50%. System Idle was at 50%. Crap.
