Hello 2 all!
----------------------------------------I have problems running BOINC on Ubuntu 10.04 64bit. Intel q9550, asus P5E3 Premium, 4Gb RAM, RAID 1 (500GBx2) BOINC set at 100% of processor time. After system starts it work about 20-25min and than "freeze", cursor is not moving, system not responding, only way - reset. Firstly I discovered that system automatically scale up processor and I disabled this function. Then it's look like my video card overheats(?) - new driver resolved this (EAH 4870x2). But all above not resolveŠ² the problem! Temperature on MB and CPU is ok ~50-55C. What else could I do with it? Thank you all in advance! P.S. I have no problems at all running BOINC on Win7 64bit at full throttle.

Actually, found that Ubuntu (64 bit) 10.04 graphics is the wanting part. Was using Cairo with OpenGL and would incur freezes requiring booting and now without OpenGL and things stabilized considerably (liked thefancy graphics). The NVidia drivers for LLL 10.04 from Canonical are not exactly the newest (195), but don't wanna mess with them yet since I don't wanna fix what's not broken badly.
----------------------------------------What that scale up is? You mean switching up to max hrz? I've locked it in at the highest stock as heat is still no issue (running about 56C).

Yep, I mean switching the hrz.
----------------------------------------I've disabled this option to understand why system is not stable. What about OpenGL, you simply turned it off?

Cairo-Dock aka GLX-Dock can be started with and without the OpenGL bells. OpenGL in general is still loaded. It's needed to look at the BOINC Graphics.

Well, any ideas how to make BOINC work?
----------------------------------------Maybe install Ubuntu 32bit?...

Bit size of client is not really a concern since the sciences themselves are all 32 bit.
----------------------------------------Then peruse the stdoutdae.txt file in the BOINC data dir for the time when it hangs up and post a bit of that log from before it hang until after restart of the science app so we can read the client basic setup info too. edit: it's in the title of course :O

I'll try run a smaller project and see what happens.

Hi,
----------------------------------------can you pump up the value for the virtual: 03-Jul-2010 15:40:13 [---] Memory: 3.87 GB physical, 955.99 MB virtual It's possibly going to the brim and topling. Mine is 3.5GB and BOINC is allowed to use 85%. Been able to run 4 CEP2 concurrent with success. The rest of the basics looks fine. Here my settings in Local Prefs on the disk tab.: Use at most 10GB of Disk space Leave at Most 0.25GB free Use at most 85.00% of total disk space Use at most 85.00% of page file (swap file)

I was also having trouble with Ubuntu 64-bit freezing on BOINC with CEP2. The BOINC at Berkeley help says that there are additional modules that have to be installed to run 32-bit applications (like they have at WCG) on a 64-bit version of BOINC. Here is the link: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Installing_on_Linux
My machine was still having trouble after installing that, so I switched back to 32-bit (which is running successfully on another machine). That didn't help either. Finally found out that the problem was a bad stick of memory. The machine ran fine on Windows, but Linux didn't like the bad memory. After I removed the bad stick of memory, it runs fine. Intel 9550, Asus P5k WS, was 4 gig now 3 gig of RAM, dual boot Windows 7 & Ubuntu 10.4 |

Never a word when I installed Ubuntu 64 bit 10.04 Lucid Linux on the libs... the fact that the science takes off without instant bombing and related error messages suggest they were in place. Installed BOINC 6.10.17 64 bit from Synaptic, the only thing needing was to tell BOINC that it was to look for 32 bit apps with the additional platform line in the cc_config.xml. That is again signified by specific warning messages.
----------------------------------------edit: our FAQ's are not all-encompassing, but we have a topic item on the index v.v. the 32 bit libs :D Output file xxxxxxxx for task yyyyyyyy absent [Linux ia-32-libs missing] Maybe that message will find it's way into the official wiki as a footnote ;>)
