Even i felt it way overclaimed. to close on windows i needed to claim around 80 credits per WU. I claimed around 115 so im taking it off. its just too much of a claim.


Hmm, you're right - I didn't know it overclaimed that much on Linux too. Of course you still only got 16 credits for 7.5 hours work because of the quorum.
I take back my comments about this client being OK for Linux.

Hello Yoda,
Are these proposed by Boinc, and granted credit, on par with most Linux Boxes?, or, way below?Please be brutally honest, Will continue crunching, but, may tweek the O.S. for even better Bench,s somehow. This is my "Docking" credit History:

I am glad you are crunching and that you are learning new things.

Thanks Memo,
Today, learned that a reboot isnot nessary after ending a session, and also, the session starts, where I left-off, stayed in memory.
Have a concern, have been studying the Linux credits. This is my P.C.s latest
results here:

I couldn't follow your successes in the past days, but I'm happy if you managed to solve the problem! Did you manage? As far I can see you are running two clients in two different home directories :)


TeHe, Yup,
Works great Dannielle.Thanks "ehh".

I have copied the start up script from both instances of Boinc, find the differences to be interesting.
For a Linux Box, and, a start up sript, which one looks the most correct?
Find it quite fascinating, to be able to run 2 types of Boinc, both with
identical Bench,s. without "conflict"?, The system is running Flawlessly.."Cool".

Ciao

MEMO,
EEEEHHHAAAA, what I have done, is just reload the "Docking" terminal session,
and it works just fine, Thanks Memo, Dannielle, Andre, Dave.
Linux is even more easier than Windows. EHAAA, This thread is now DEFUNc_TO DEFAc_TO, it may help other dummies though. LOL

"Crunching for Docking for 8 hours again", then finish all in Boinc#1.

Thanks

Hello Memo,

Was a mistake to erase the dockimg files iside home/doug/BOINC, but, by doing this I learned how to "restart" Boinc without reaataching to experiments.What I did was
save the Console session that uses your command lines, now, am able to restart
that instance of Boinc through trial and error, mostly erorrs.I cannot learn unless
I try new ways.
I call up the cosole, open up the saved session, and easily follow step "6"

6.
a) run the following command:
"nano run_client"
b) inside the editor on the top line a type the following:
ulimit -s unlimited
c) hit the keys ctrl x (hold ctrl key and hit x)
d) nano will ask if you want to write the file
press y (y means yes in this case)
e) run the following command:
"nohup ./run_client &"
f) run the following command:
"nohup ./run_manager &"

I donnot have to press "Y" to save that file, seeing as I saved that session.
And it works well, thanks again Memo.
BTW, am I correct that utep football team is the "Sun Devils"?
Thanks Doug

Hello Dave,
Trial and error , saved the konsole session last time, then used same Konsole
session to start Boinc. This time will not erase xtra files, and see if it works,
I.M.H.O., it will, ehaaa.Thanks
Regarding UTEP and its football,"American syle" teams name is the Sun Devils.
2½ hours before kickoff
Alpha Lawn, just south of the Whiteman Tennis Center and Parking Structure is the
always enjoyable Tailgate Party. Washington State are playing today against them.
Good luck Sun Devils

have nearly finished the second 4 hour w/u that crunched through the night flawlessly. For more info on the Football team and a calender please copy and
paste this url."Happy Crunching"

It may have worked prperly this time.Erased all Docking files in home/doug/BOINC,
rebooted, Did steps 5 on, got this message, and no benchmarks, I am sure if I haddnot deleted files, due to attaching each time, I would not have had to reaatach to a project this time.The Console did not ask yes to save, instead it started the Last instance of Boinc Docking.This is the output after starting Boinc Docking up:

Hello, WOW

Conan, I think all you said in your first Post was phenominally intelligent,
well thought out, and it caused no such contrversy, you were concerned about.
Indeed, this thread, started by another intelligent Human being, Dannielle.
Conan, the Distro I run is called PClinuxOS "Big Daddy", they made MiniMe also.This 2.4 Gig machine beat out
much better ones, and was credited the same as Windows. It is Seti, our Team
is getting 3rd place back.
http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/workunit.php?wuid=98824252
I am also using a O.C., that could make my P.C. 20,000 seconds faster also.
Funny thing though, I run Boinc 2 different ways.Original way my Bench,s are
a "bit" better:Measured floating point speed 598.05 million ops/sec
Measured integer speed 1626.38 million ops/sec
When I run Docking the second command line way, these are my Bench,s
Measured floating point speed 580.23 million ops/sec
Measured integer speed 1644.35 million ops/sec
"Happiest crunching to all"

"Then you (we) make a shortcut on the desktop and you won't have to use the console." This is the answer

Great idea Dannielle,
That is exactly what I need to do, well, "We", LOL.
Thank you so much for your ongoing help.Good luck with the exams, I know you
will do great.Yes, I have "no more work" from all experiments and have only
the Climate Model, and a Seti w/U about 6 hours to finish.

I am also very busy at work , and events I want to volunteer at .So , no biggy
can still crunch for Docking, and finish the Seti, w/u, untill we make the Desktop
shortcut, instead of the Cosole, Wonderful idea Dannielle.

Sincerely

Doug
