boinc-client not processing Ubuntu 10.4 [RESOLVED]

Hi All,

Since I have upgraded to Ubuntu 10.4 the boinc-client does not seem to be processing anymore. This is a 64 bit system and was working on a 64 bit Ubuntu 9.10.

I did follow the instruction and installed the necessary libraries (ia32-libs libstdc++6 freeglut3) and added the line to recognize the processor.

Here are the messages:

Nothing afterwards. Any suggestions?

Hi,

18-May-2010 12:00:57 (low) [] Reading preferences override file

Mind you post a copy of the global_prefs_override.xml file.

Both your Activity Menu Run Always and Network Always are set?

Have you visited the Project tab, selected WCG and hit the update button?

Re: boinc-client not processing Ubuntu 10.4

Also, just to make sure you put the proper line in cc_config.xml please post this as well, as it'll help us debug the situation.

Re: boinc-client not processing Ubuntu 10.4

Hi, I do not have XWindows on this server. It is strictly a LAMP server. I only installed boinc-client and not boinc-manager, as it installs all the XWindows stuff with it. I would think the upgrade would just upgrade the packages that were already installed.

cc_config.xml:
<cc_config>
<options>
<alt_platform>i686-pc-linux-gnu</alt_platform>
</options>
<log_flags>
<task>1</task>
<file_xfer>1</file_xfer>
<sched_ops>1</sched_ops>

<cpu_sched>0</cpu_sched>
<cpu_sched_debug>0</cpu_sched_debug>
<rr_simulation>0</rr_simulation>
<debt_debug>0</debt_debug>
<task_debug>0</task_debug>
<work_fetch_debug>0</work_fetch_debug>
<unparsed_xml>0</unparsed_xml>
<state_debug>0</state_debug>
<file_xfer_debug>0</file_xfer_debug>
<sched_op_debug>0</sched_op_debug>
<http_debug>0</http_debug>
<proxy_debug>0</proxy_debug>
<time_debug>0</time_debug>
<http_xfer_debug>0</http_xfer_debug>
<benchmark_debug>0</benchmark_debug>
<poll_debug>0</poll_debug>
<guirpc_debug>0</guirpc_debug>
<scrsave_debug>0</scrsave_debug>
<app_msg_send>0</app_msg_send>
<app_msg_receive>0</app_msg_receive>
<mem_usage_debug>0</mem_usage_debug>
<network_status_debug>0</network_status_debug>
<checkpoint_debug>0</checkpoint_debug>
</log_flags>
</cc_config>


global_prefs_override.xml:
<global_preferences>
</global_preferences>

Thanks, Brian

Re: boinc-client not processing Ubuntu 10.4

Did you restart the BOINC daemon?

Since you don't have the BOINC Manager presume you to be familiar with the boinccmd tool to send commands? See http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Boinccmd for instructions. Under the Examples section it shows how to send an update command.

My settings files I actually found in /etc/boinc-client which I know are the one my installation uses.

The cc_config.xml looks good, but don't like the override file showing as empty. Not sure if it is reporting overrides just because the file exists so have a look in that other location.

Re: boinc-client not processing Ubuntu 10.4

the update command did it.

boinccmd -project http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/ update

I did start and stop the daemon a few times without success. Very strange.

Thanks for your help.

Re: boinc-client not processing Ubuntu 10.4 [RESOLVED]

Great, then please edit your thread opening post to insert [RESOLVED] in the title just like i did in this reply.

Happy crunching, bpaskin.

(really like those easy ones :-)

edit: Eventually the client would have initiated a contact, normally though the first thing it should have done is asking for 1 second of work [also presuming this was a clean install]. This client continues to disappear from my WLAN, but sending a remote command from windows always seems to awake it again.
