I was gone for a week and am told that the projects my CPU was working on are overdue, so that I likely won't get anby credit for it, so I might want to abandon them.
The next message after that was that my computer is overcommited, so that the client is 'Suspending work fetch because computer is overcommitted.' So what now? I don't know how to abort specific tasks. I also don't know how to connect the client with the manager, so that I am running it in a terminal window. Any suggestions? |

Try getting the BOINC Manager working. There should be a boinc_mgr script there that you can run. By default, it will automatically connect to the local (running) BOINC client, and let you configure it.
There is a small grace period for overdue results, so just abort those that are going to go way over. The overcommited message just means you are already going to be missing deadlines, so you certainly don't need more work. After you've aborted a few units, it will start getting new work again (but not immediately - give it time). |

The boinc_mgr script indeed starts the Boinc Manager. Unfortunately the run_client script won't start the client.
To start the client, I have to log in as root in a terminal window, open the run_client file and copy the line 'cd "/home/ralf/Grid/BOINC" && exec ./boinc $@' into the terminal window and hit return. So when I start the manager via the boinc_mgr script, it can't connect to the client running in the window. And without the manager, I can't abort any projects. So what now? |

Start boinc in the background. Go to the right directory, and just type boinc & How do I do that? There seems to be a boinc executable, but it doesn't run when I click on it. a I only can start the boinc manager, and it won't let me type anything, or connect to any projects, and it won't find any projects or the client. |

Is there not a command like window in Linux, like there is DOS window allowing to navigate the disk and type instructions at the prmpt? Found quite a few oogling around with the "BOINC &" as search object.

Found quite a few oogling around with the "BOINC &" as search object. Yes, there is such a command window, the terminal, I had misunderstodd Didactylos. The problem is, it still doesn't help. Here's the output in the terminal window: [root@77 BOINC]# ./boinc & [1] 23006 [root@77 BOINC]# 2007-04-12 15:02:32 [---] Starting BOINC client version 5.4.11 for i686-pc-linux-gnu 2007-04-12 15:02:32 [---] libcurl/7.16.0 OpenSSL/0.9.8d zlib/1.2.3 2007-04-12 15:02:32 [---] Data directory: /home/ralf/Grid/BOINC 2007-04-12 15:02:32 [---] Processor: 1 AuthenticAMD AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2500+ 2007-04-12 15:02:32 [---] Memory: 1008.78 MB physical, 1.94 GB virtual 2007-04-12 15:02:32 [---] Disk: 144.94 GB total, 110.39 GB free 2007-04-12 15:02:32 [World Community Grid] URL: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/; Computer ID: 140947; location: ; project prefs: default 2007-04-12 15:02:32 [---] General prefs: from World Community Grid (last modified 1970-01-01 01:00:01) 2007-04-12 15:02:32 [---] General prefs: using your defaults 2007-04-12 15:02:32 [World Community Grid] Task 10000581-10001520_2 is 1.76 days overdue. 2007-04-12 15:02:32 [World Community Grid] Task 10000581-10001520_2 is 1.76 days overdue. 2007-04-12 15:02:32 [World Community Grid] You may not get credit for it.

Never mind, I found a way to do it:
At first, I have to start the client with: '[root@77 BOINC]# ./boinc &' Afterwards I can start the boinc manager with '[root@77 BOINC]# ./boincmgr $@ ' The manager has found the client now and I could abort the project. I get some error messages, though: [root@77 BOINC]# ./boincmgr $@ Gdk-WARNING **: Missing charsets in FontSet creation Gdk-WARNING **: JISX0208.1983-0 Gdk-WARNING **: KSC5601.1987-0 Gdk-WARNING **: GB2312.1980-0 Gdk-WARNING **: JISX0201.1976-0 send: -1 send: Bad file descriptor connect: Die Operation ist jetzt in Bearbeitung 2007-04-12 15:10:48 [---] Rescheduling CPU: result suspended, resumed or aborted by user 2007-04-12 15:10:48 [World Community Grid] Pausing task 10000581-10001520_2 (removed from memory) 2007-04-12 15:10:48 [World Community Grid] Starting task faah1449_d016n829_x2AZ8_00_2 using faah version 530 2007-04-12 15:10:53 [World Community Grid] Unrecoverable error for result 10000581-10001520_2 (aborted by user) 2007-04-12 15:10:53 [World Community Grid] Unrecoverable error for result 10000581-10001520_2 (aborted by user) 2007-04-12 15:10:53 [World Community Grid] Deferring scheduler requests for 1 minutes and 0 seconds 2007-04-12 15:10:53 [---] Rescheduling CPU: result suspended, resumed or aborted by user 2007-04-12 15:10:53 [World Community Grid] Computation for task 10000581-10001520_2 finished (gedit:23142): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed.

Unless somebody tells me that those other messages are serious, I suppose I can continue, but I'll wait until somebody tells me that it is alright. Thanbks in advance for the answer. |

Yes, that's exactly what I though I suggested you do. Sorry I wasn't clear enough.
I think you can ignore the GDK warnings. Certainly the font warning has been reported before, and doesn't do any harm, and the same for the send -1 error. The Gnome warning is a new one on me, but looks equally harmless. Happy crunching. |
