Indeed, this is the boinc client that comes packaged with Xubuntu, which I've downloaded through Synaptic. But when I try that command, it gives me a "command not found" error. I've tried:

run_boincmgr
run_boincmgr &
run boincmgr
run boincmgr &

None of them work. As you can see I'm still a n00b with GNU/Linux, so go easy on me. ;-)

Ubuntu is based on Debian. I am running Debian and I am using the version of BOINC released through them. My solution to the ulimit problem was to go to /etc/init.d and find the startup script for BOINC. I edited the startup script and put the ulimit command close to the beginning of the script. before any other commands where executed.

Thank you, Jim. I've done that to /etc/init.d/boinc-client. Is there anything else I should do, or will the problem be fixed now?

Just stop / start or restart your boinc client. Other than that, it should work.

Hello,
Am I the only Linux tester that cannot get ulimit -s unlimited to "stick"?
Thank You

Doug

what steps are you taking to implement the ulimit?

Sorry for all the NOOB questions. The reason i am running these linux machines is to get a better handle on LInux, and it is working, slowly but surely.

Ok, now on to my question..

In my init script, how do i set the stack limit for a particular user?

It will work even as a daemon: in the boinc start script or init script (or whatever means you use to start), put this command before you start the actual boinc process. Make sure to set the stack limit for the user that boinc runs under.

PS We are looking for a better solution (one where this hack on the user side is not necessary), but for now this is the workaround.

Just a thought. You said to put that command in the shell initialization file. But, that won't work for me. I have BOINC runninng as a daemon. I am actually rarely logged into either one of my linux boxes.

My stack size was also 8192. I have just increased it to unlimited as you asked. I will keep an eye on things from here on out.

Here are my computers
http://docking.utep.edu/show_host_detail.php?hostid=207
and
http://docking.utep.edu/show_host_detail.php?hostid=208
and all of my results
http://docking.utep.edu/results.php?userid=113

I had picked out several wu's and listed them individually, but I inadvertently hit the "back" button, which erased my post before it got sent. :( oh well. Here is some of the info.

Anything else needed?

I suspect that your other WUs weren't successful, but only validated successful because of a bug in 5.1. Do you have any result numbers for us to check?

Thanks
Andre

My linux box just updated the application from 5.01 to 5.02. 5.01 was running just fine. all WU's that it crunched completed successfully.

5.02, on the other hand, is giving me the following error.

9/19/2006 6:31:22 AM Unrecoverable error for result 1tng_mod0001_1123_110866_3 (process exited with code 1 (0x1))

Any other info needed?

I am using Debian Etch with all the updates as of yesterday (9-17-06). I have two machine both of which are running this same distro. I just joined today and both boxes downloaded 5.01. One machine is running and returning results without any problems. The other is giving me errors.

I reached my daily quota of 25 on this machine. I've reset it, but will have to wait until tommorrow to see if I get the 5.02 app.

All projects on this machine are running fine, with the exception of this project and HashClash.
