Hello Drorion,
Thanks for adding the ps listing. Something is stopping HCC after BOINC starts it.

This is a problem for an experienced Linux guru.

On Windows I would suspect a security program. On Linux, all I can suggest is trying out other projects, such as FAAH, to see if they act the same way.

Does anybody have some useful suggestions?

Lawrence

Hi Laurence

Took your advice and set performance level at 100%. Downloaded latest version of BOINC. Short work units seemto be ok. latest FAAH has stalled after 2 hours -suspended and resumed everything now O.K. Latest message page attached.

I notice that despite resetting preferences to 100% BOINC limit is still 473 MB

Where do I go from here,

Stormin.

Stormin Norman, I notice you have a preferences override file. This is created when you change your preferences using BOINC Manager, and it overrides the settings you select on the web.

Clear the override file using BOINC Manager, or delete it manually.
