Posted 26 May 2024 by Jimbocous Post: Just in case anyone is out searching this, here's a current link that as of May 2024 provides current info on how to install the AIO for BOINC. Obviously the SETI-specific stuff is deprecated, but getting BOINC up and running on a Linux box is still a very relevant topic. I've recently gone through, redone the installation instructions, tested it all, and updated the package to more current versions of BOINC. Legacy support for Ubuntu 12.04, 14.04 and 16.04 is still included, as are detailed instructions for 18.04, 19.04, 20.04, 22.04 and 24.04. Feel free to drop in, take a peek and grab whatever from this web page. I'll be around for questions, if needed, and welcome comments and suggestions as well. |

Posted 7 Apr 2024 by Jimbocous Post: Which project our people contributing the GPU power to? Lol. Probably why I'm not getting any:) Initially I misread the original message as CPU, not GPU. There are indeed no current MW GPU apps. Sorry for the confusion. |

Posted 1 Apr 2024 by Jimbocous Post: The AIO was made by TBAR. You can just download the .deb files from Boinc and unpack the binaries from them in /Downloads and then copy them over into your AIO directory. (Not getting notifications of messages here, hmmm...) Thanks, Keith. I did get it figured out. It escaped me for a bit that I needed to be logged in to Github in order to download files. As always, thanks. Hope you're doing well. l8r, Jim ... |

Posted 30 Mar 2024 by Jimbocous Post: Anybody still copying the mail here? Have been running the old all-in-one Linux BOINC package for quite a while. (Wish I could recall who put that together) Still on 7.16.5, but looking to see if anyone could hook me up with the newer executables, as the CPU overscheduling of multi-thread CPU tasks is giving me grief. This issue is fixed on 7.24, I believe. Supposedly it's possible to download them directly off Git Hub, but I never could make that work. Specifically, iirc all that is needed is to replace the Linux executables: boinc boinccmd boncmgr boincscr switcher Any chance someone could help out? Thanks in advance, Jim ... |

Posted 15 May 2020 by Jimbocous Post: Some projects will only allow you to register via BOINC Manager I'm running E@H for GPUs and MW for CPUs on the few machines I have left running, since current BOINC workshare is borked. I created the MW account via BOINC Manager after being unable to do so via Firefox. Don't recall why, but it was easier that way. Have had no issues for over a month now. |

Posted 9 Apr 2020 by Jimbocous Post: Just got notified of a Boinc Manager update for my Windows box. Downloaded the VM version. Maybe I will explore running Cosmology@Home which is a VM only project on it. Just FYI, if it's 7.16.5 x64 you've updated to, be advised I've been having nothing but trouble with that on my Win box with Einstein jobs, and after 2 trys I just fell back to 7.14.2. Seems CPU jobs just halt. Also apparently trashed the history, to the point where it''s saying I reached my max of 480 tasks per day and threw me into a 24 hour project back-off. |
