Bearcat, I just installed a 64bit ubuntu 10.04 machine. I will get back to you with a fix.
Thanks, -Uplinger |

Ok, I did encounter the:
No application found for task: i686-pc-linux-gnu 608 What I did to solve this was. 1. Stopped the boinc client sudo /etc/init.d/boinc stop 2. Edit the cc_config file mentioned in this thread http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread_thread,29013#278603 sudo vi /etc/boinc-client/cc_config.xml example options <cc_config> <options> <alt_platform>i686-pc-linux-gnu</alt_platform> </options> <log_flags> ..... 3. Restart boinc sudo /etc/init.d/boinc start (Note on restarting boinc, i did get a strange /proc error, but this went away with running the start command a second time.) My 64bit machine is now running HCC. Hope this helps... -Uplinger |

Gave it a shot with no success. Did everything you stated ver batum. One note is when I Tried to stop bionic using sudo, got command not found so assuming bionic wasn't running. Did everything else, fired it up and still got the error. I uninstalled it. Will try a different way (the way I did it last time) and see what happens.

Bearcat,
It's just boinc. Not bionic. It should have found 'sudo /etc/init.d/boinc stop' -Uplinger |

The reason for stopping then editing the file is so that when you start boinc back up, it should read the cc_config.xml file properly.
You could try this to see if the boinc client is running. ps -ef | grep boinc let us know if you see anything. -Uplinger |

Stopping/Starting of BOINC is not required since the Advanced Menu has an option to read in the config.file. When you do the output looks like this:
----------------------------------------Fri 07 May 2010 00:19:11 CEST Re-read config file Fri 07 May 2010 00:19:11 CEST Config: don't use coprocessors Fri 07 May 2010 00:19:11 CEST log flags: file_xfer, sched_ops, task, checkpoint_debug, sched_op_debug Since I found 3 copies of the cc_config.xml, the one I had to do chown for and change was in /etc/boinc-client. I know it's the right file because the flags above are by default off for for sched_ops and checkpoint_debug. edit: spell

Stopping/Starting of BOINC is not required since the Advanced Menu has an option to read in the config.file. When you do the output looks like this: Some options only take effect on client-restart, not on re-reading cc_config.xml. From the look of things, the <alt_platform> is one of the options that only works on client-restart.  "I make so many mistakes. But then just think of all the mistakes I don't make, although I might." |

Regarding "from the the looks of things", no idea where to look other than in long past reading that some preference overrides may not all take effect when reading them in via the menu read in.
----------------------------------------Neither of the 2 wiki's I reviewed before posting makes that indication. What we do know is that not all active options and flags are printed out. David Anderson's check-ins noting to print more of them in future client. Here's what's said per the BFS and if not correct you're suggested to contact Jord aka Ageless. Warning: If you are using a BOINC version lower than 5.8.2, before you add or edit cc_config.xml, exit BOINC. Normally in Boinc Manager File->Exit. If you are running as a service, Start->Run, type net stop boinc and press OK/Enter. If you are using BOINC 5.8.2 or above, it isn't necessary to stop the BOINC client. Just edit the cc_config.xml file and tell Boinc Manager to read the file, through Advanced, Read config file. Below is a copy of cc_config.xml that you can copy and paste into Notepad (or any other text editor). Save it in your BOINC directory (*) as cc_config.xml .. When saving with a text editor, make sure you save as "All types". That way the editor won't auto-add a TXT extension. Note: Not all options are available in lower versions of BOINC. Note: When using a World Community Grid version of BOINC, flags may differ. Please ask at the WCG forums if in doubt. I did add the specific flags in this FAQ.

Am up and running. Used Synaptic package manager to install and run. So far so good. Thanks for all the help.

Regarding "from the the looks of things", no idea where to look other than in long past reading that some preference overrides may not all take effect when reading them in via the menu read in. The alt_platform (if any present) is listed in client_state.xml, one of the last lines. If you adds <alt_platform> in cc_config.xml and re-reads this, it doesn't show-up in client_state.xml (made sure client_state.xml was re-written afterwards). If you on the other hand re-start BOINC, the new alt_platform shows-up. It's the same if you changes the alt_platform, the change only shows-up after re-starting BOINC. It's the same behavour for most of the other hardware-changing options, like <no_gpus> and not using a specific gpu and so on, they only works after re-starting BOINC. "I make so many mistakes. But then just think of all the mistakes I don't make, although I might." |
