Posted 25 Mar 2009 by Andy Post: I have installed the BOINC Manager, but haven't figured out the attach to a project. Hair pulling and screaming hasn't helped yet. Would jumping off a tall building be of any use? |

Gasping for Air (May 14 2007)
(Message 567873)
Posted 15 May 2007 by Andy Post: What a weekend. As noted by the others they successfully got the replacement science database server from Sun and brought it to the lab Friday afternoon. As we hoped it was basically plug n' play after putting the old thumper's drives in it. After some file system syncing and data checking Eric started the splitters on Saturday. All was well until bruno's httpd processes choked (more on that below). So we were not sending work for a whole day until Jeff kicked bruno this morning. The bright side is this allowed the splitters to create a whole pile of work in the meantime which we are sending out right now as fast as we can. The main bottleneck is NFS on the workunit file server which is (and always has been) choking at around 60 Mbps. It'll take a while for things to catch up. Now i know what SUPERMAN does for giggles! |

Attaching to project-SETI-PROBLEM
(Message 497524)
Posted 4 Jan 2007 by Andy Post: New computer, with 2.4ghz cpu, 1g ram, and 150g hdd, WinXP, ZoneAlarm firewall. Works! Just fine now. Old computer is for music playing. Now for the big question- WHY DOES MICROSOFT CALL THAT SIEVE A FIREWALL? And thanks to all that tried to help. Being a computer novice, AKA- user from hell, and being brain dead most days does not help the situation. |

Attaching to project-SETI-PROBLEM
(Message 430769)
Posted 4 Oct 2006 by Andy Post: At this point, should I raise the white flag? Nothing seems to be working at this end, and everytime I try attaching to a project, setiathome, the server responds with error message, shared memory violation. SO I'll sit tight until the server maintainence is completed and try again. The circuits are willing, the software is weak! to paraphrase. |

Posted 13 Sep 2006 by Andy Post: Have you allowed BOINC.EXE, BOINCMGR.EXE and BOINC.SCR complete access through the Windows firewall? Checked the firewall, and it lets BOINC through. When I enter the URL, http://setiathome.berkeley.edu, I get the error message.This is fustrating, to the point of being discouraged from continuing. The error message indicates a SHARED MEMORY VIOLATION. Does this give you any ideas?I suspect something to do with BOINC having me registered, and maybe I didn't detach correctly? I'll try a "clean" start to the program. |

Posted 10 Sep 2006 by Andy Post: Have you allowed BOINC.EXE, BOINCMGR.EXE and BOINC.SCR complete access through the Windows firewall? Currently using Norton Systemworks with Norton Firewall, not the WXP firewall. I'll double check the WXP firewall, just in case. Thank you for your suggestion. |

Mystery of NO WORK solved
(Message 257029)
Posted 3 Mar 2006 by Andy Post: WRONG!!! Ouch!!! Sorry! I did not know ALL of the intricacies pertaining to such an undertaking. After so many days of not getting any work, I mistakenly thought the project had been assimilated, and further resistance was futile. Now having read the explanations, I will gladly wait to have my computer assimilated for further work. :-)) Good Hunting!

Mystery of NO WORK solved
(Message 256711)
Posted 3 Mar 2006 by Andy Post: Having read the NO WORK explanation, now I comprehend. BOINC has been assimilated by the UNION NO WORK RULES. Hasn't any thought been given to having emergency back-up power? Power outages are few, but do happen. Is it the cost that is prohibitive? Maybe some scrounging would help? |
