Posted 26 May 2006 by dasy2k1 Post: The only time I ever got that error was when I tried to change the password in the remote_gui.cfg file. I was going to set a standard password across all of my clients and ended up with that error. Try to remove your remote_gui.cfg file (or maybe just move it somewhere else) and restart everything. this is all teh files in my boinc folder, which one shoudl i move? das@Suse:~/bin/BOINC> ls -l total 8608 -rw-r--r-- 1 das users 3426 2006-05-26 16:58 account_einstein.phys.uwm.edu.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 das users 2848 2006-05-24 23:58 account_setiathome.berkeley.edu.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 das users 256 2006-05-05 21:36 binstall.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 das users 1744688 2006-05-05 21:36 boinc -rwxr-xr-x 1 das users 434320 2006-05-05 21:36 boinc_cmd -rwxr-xr-x 1 das users 6402756 2006-05-05 21:36 boincmgr -rw-r--r-- 1 das users 1264 2006-05-05 21:36 boincmgr.16x16.png -rw-r--r-- 1 das users 1786 2006-05-05 21:36 boincmgr.32x32.png -rw-r--r-- 1 das users 558 2006-05-05 21:36 boincmgr.8x8.png -rw-r--r-- 1 das users 23233 2006-05-26 17:01 client_state_prev.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 das users 23233 2006-05-26 17:02 client_state.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 das users 166 2006-05-24 19:38 get_project_config.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 das users 1699 2006-05-24 21:34 global_prefs.xml -rw------- 1 das users 32 2006-05-23 17:57 gui_rpc_auth.cfg drwxr-xr-x 33 das users 792 2006-05-05 21:36 locale -rw-r--r-- 1 das users 3051 2006-05-26 14:41 lockfile -rw-r--r-- 1 das users 139 2006-05-24 19:52 lookup_account.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 das users 2699 2006-05-23 18:32 lookup_website.html -rw-r--r-- 1 das users 8064 2006-05-23 17:58 master_bbc.cpdn.org.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 das users 8352 2006-05-24 19:52 master_einstein.phys.uwm.edu.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 das users 69 2006-05-23 17:57 master_setiathome.berkeley.edu.xml drwxr-xr-x 4 das users 128 2006-05-24 19:52 projects -rwxr-xr-x 1 das users 50 2006-05-23 17:55 run_client -rwxr-xr-x 1 das users 53 2006-05-23 17:55 run_manager -rw-r--r-- 1 das users 25249 2006-05-23 22:43 sched_reply_bbc.cpdn.org.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 das users 3940 2006-05-26 16:58 sched_reply_einstein.phys.uwm.edu.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 das users 3454 2006-05-24 23:58 sched_reply_setiathome.berkeley.edu.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 das users 4902 2006-05-23 22:43 sched_request_bbc.cpdn.org.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 das users 5114 2006-05-26 16:58 sched_request_einstein.phys.uwm.edu.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 das users 5132 2006-05-24 23:58 sched_request_setiathome.berkeley.edu.xml drwxr-xr-x 5 das users 120 2006-05-24 21:34 slots -rw-r--r-- 1 das users 728 2006-05-26 16:58 statistics_einstein.phys.uwm.edu.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 das users 732 2006-05-24 23:58 statistics_setiathome.berkeley.edu.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 das users 0 2006-05-23 17:57 stderrdae.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 das users 14002 2006-05-26 16:58 stdoutdae.txt |

Posted 26 May 2006 by dasy2k1 Post: i woudl seriously recmed SUSE 10.1 for anyone who has used windoze for a whild and wants to start using linux, the installer is easy to use if a little slow and with KDE it is easy to use as you would windows, then you can experiment more and more untill you are fully competant in linux, i woudl recomend http://www.linuxquestions.org to help you get started |

(Message 315352)
Posted 24 May 2006 by dasy2k1 Post: if liek me you are using a relativly low speck box and seti/boinc really slows down performance when it is running and you want to work, this is my fix using SUSE 10.1 with KDE using teh porcess table in system load i changed boinc form Nice 0 to Nice 8 (any positive number will do) this turns down teh prority so when you start soem CPU heavy app like graphic rendering, seti will take a back seat and just use up teh slack. when you are doing nothing it takes full power. i know you can jsut set it to pause when you are doing somthing but as my comp is only on when i am doing somthing by taht mesure i would never crunch any WUs |

Posted 24 May 2006 by dasy2k1 Post:
my prefered way of setting times is to lower them all so that the toatll cross project is 100, then what you have in effect is the %age of time that prodj gets, so i woudl use seti 75 einmstein 25 to get a 3/4 sahre for seti and 1/4 for einstein |

Error 403
(Message 315317)
Posted 24 May 2006 by dasy2k1 Post: Anyone else getting error 403 when connecting? this is to do with the internet side of things not the seti side... this coudl be because of your firewall, try turning it ff or decreacing the sucuraty, if anyone knwos what port boinc uses then you could forward that port sespificly to keep high sucuraty on your firewall |

Posted 23 May 2006 by dasy2k1 Post: We paid two different prices, .08$ & .06$, not real sure what the deal is with that. the .08 would be your daytime "peak" rate the .06 would be the night time "economy" rate so it is cheaper to run teh computer all night and swich it off all day! or at least taht is my justification for staying up all night, still you guys have it easy your side of the adlantic, we pay nerly 10p per KWH here still taht is cheap compared to petrol (gasoline) at £1 per litre (thats about $9 a (us) gallon by my rough working) and all your gas guzzelers are messing with our wether, we have a drought and hosepipe ban and yet it is tipping it down with rain! (all the boreholes are empty!) we had one of the driest winters ever and now one of the wettest mays! |

Posted 8 Dec 2005 by dasy2k1 Post: i have since installed slackware 10.2 and it wiorks fine, especially wirth xfce at the window manager instead of KDE if you need help the best forum i have found is www.linuxquestions.org the eople there are usially very helpfull though i suggets searching the forum for you quetsion forst and only posting if there isnt an answer that solves your problem. vert rarely are you told to RTFM or STFW though the less severe "google is your freind" somtimes crops up. |
