Message boards : Unix/Linux : Linux WU's = Invalid = No Credit?

have not crunched for Docking for a few weeks due to not knowing why my work isnot being "validated". As soon as I know that the 3 w/u
that still need validation, are not one of those 30 some odd weird w/u.
See You At PClinuxOS

Be Well Trog Dog

G'day Doug

Just had a quick look at one of your invalid wu's and it looks like the PIII bug. PIII's and PIII Celerons produce different results to PIV's and PIV Celerons. If you have a PIV Celeron (looks like you do) and you come up against two PIII's yours get marked invalid, likewise if you come up against one PIV and one PIII the PIV's render the PIII result invalid.

Clear as mud?

Bottomline is the project is working on it.

Catch you over at PCLOS.

Trog Dog,
Great news that MiniMe works well for you.On 3 Machines WOW.I cannot get ulimit to work on same type Distro.The Ulimit takes just like you said with the 8192.
How do you start your Boinc Client?{KDE menu, or comand line} if command line,
could you post this for me, Thanks Trog Dog.I cannot get a w/u to be successful
Have to start a different instance of Boinc.
Take care
Doug


G'day Doug

I use KDE's startup script to autostart the BOINC manager as KDE starts (KDE is also set to autolog me in). The result is on a reboot KDE starts and logs in as user trogdog and starts the BOINC manager.

To use the KDE autostart script create a text file containing the following

#!/bin/sh
/path/to/your/BOINC/run_manager &>/dev/null &


In my case the line path/to/your/BOINC/run_manager is /home/trogdog/BOINC/run_manager

save it as /path/to/your/.kde/Autostart/startup

In my case the file is /home/trogdog/.kde/Autostart/startup

Make this file executable.

As far as the ulimit fix goes I have that as the first line in the run_manager file.

If this isn't clear PM me in the PCLOS forum.

Hello Stranger,
Hey Trog Dog how goes the Minime O.S. that I sujested that you use, and, are the credits good {for Linux}, and, how did you get Ulimit to work with MiniMe? I may go back to Minime, I miss the little guy.Is MiniMe P.C. # 810, that looks like my old kernel? There is many reasons why I am asking these questions Trog Dog, if you are unconfortable to answer them at this Post, could we communicate via Email?


G'day Doug

I've got 3 Minime's ( Optima , Optiplex and Athlon ). I initially had problems until I used the ulimit fix, the main problem though was that ulimit -s still reports as 8192 so I initially thought that it hadn't taken, but it had.

I like Minime, and I'm glad that you gave me the tip to check it out.

I plan to start working on this HR solution this week. Don't know how hard or easy it will be to get this going, but hope easy...

Andre



Cheers Andre

I've kept all my boxes attached, although on a minimal resource share

Sorry for the inconvenience, let me explain you what is going on...

First is not a problem with your computer, the problem is that for some reason, that we are investigating on, P3 and P4 are giving different results. Obviously most of the time P4 turn back work before P3 and that is why you are getting no credit most of the time.

We are modifying homogeneous redundancy to make P3s and P2s to validate in a group with no P4s while we discover what is wrong with the system. When? I am not sure, Andre is the one working on this issue I will ask him.


Is there a timeframe for when the stricter homogenous redundancy will be implemented?

Damn Small Linux runs fine with no need for the ulimit fix, even though the stack is a default 8192, although all my boxes running this distro are PII/PIII variations and failing validation.
