Can't you set it to ping every so often to insure it won't sleep?

I would like to install ubuntu on my new build but could never get a wireless usb stick to work in my other crunchers. Anyone know of a for sure wireless usb stick that actually works? I know anything linksys or cisco won't work. I am using a Cisco range extender connected via ethernet through a switch to wirelessly connect all of my remote units, both Linux and Windows to my router. The range extender was about $50. No wireless card or USB stick needed. Hope this helps. Cheers

Yesterday downloaded the latest 310.19 NVidia drivers (proprietary) and installed them [note that the [additional drivers] under 12.10 has moved from a seprate screen to being a tab of the Softwarte Sources app]. Thought the install failed and exited the GUI [service lightdim stop] back to terminal and hibernated. This morning, came out of hibernate, started lightdm and low and behold, the glossiest, highest res GUI I've ever seen.
[Still got 7.0.39 from LocutusofBorg aka Gianfranco https://launchpad.net/~costamagnagianfranco/+archive/boinc , and zero errors to date (6 days), but one of the overload SIGSEGV's due CPU overload] |

Few weeks ago there was the mention of Evernote for Windows, for the organized not trying to remember loose info bits and minutea. Today there's for Linux such an program too: Everpad http://www.webupd8.org/2012/12/evernote-linux...erpad-available.html#more

The wireless on the main one sucks real bad so grabbed a refurb. AE works great. With the new wireless standard being approved, the new hardware should be coming out shortly. Might suck it up until then and get one. http://www.geeky-gadgets.com/new-wireless-sta...es-more-speed-13-12-2011/

The throughput on 802.11ac looks very nice and might solve my congestion problem. I can tell you the wireless g goes through wooden walls no problem, but definitely not through a metal walled shed. It will be interesting to see what the pricing will be. Cheers

And the good news is, after having started to GPU compute [the low intensity type needing 0.3% CPU cycles] and installing the Bumblebee and Primus display drivers [intended for laptops to extend battery life], the desktop power consumption is down to 160 Watts/Hour, 2 watts better than I had it for W8, which had it down from formerly 170 Watts under W7 to 162 under W8. The surprise was that the difference between 100% CPU load and adding GPU computing, was only 8 watts per the killowatts meter... but this is only a humble GT 220 :D Here's some instruction stumbled on to get Bumblebee/optirun/Primus to work with the latest NVidia available for Linux driver 310.14. I'm happy as that famous clam with how this runs for Unity/GNOME and XFCE (The simple/classic interface that installs when installing Gnome 3.6 on Ubuntu 12.10). edit: oops, the instructions http://www.webupd8.org/2012/12/use-nvidia-experimental-drivers-310.html#more [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Dec 6, 2012 4:56:29 PM] |

For the Linux Adepts... just announced, a BOINC Manager in text format only. BOINCTUI: https://code.google.com/p/boinctui/ . , The screenshots suggest it's still running in a GUI session [Ctr-Alt-F7 and up] so asked if it would also run in terminal, no GUI at all. This it'd be ideal for me. Graphics at all loaded, more efficiency.

The author of BOINCTUI answered:
Q: Looks good. Would it run in terminal [for that would be the non-plus ultra]? Running my Linux box without the Graphical interface loaded... only alt-ctrl-f1/f6 sessions. The screenshot suggests it's still running in a GUI session. A: Yes, it work in text terminal without X. I test boinctui in linux text console (ctl-alt-f1), in remote ssh session, and in ssh+screen remote session. This is going to be sooo much better over the boinccmd tool when only having terminal access only and see what's going on.  |
