Hi.
After have a bit of a look at the Ubuntu forums I found this ppa, (ppa:costamagnagianfranco/boinc) they have 7.1.10 up for download that's a big jump from the one I'm running now, does anyone know if it's O.K.  thanks. |

No it's not. The Gianfranco ppa always presents the very latest he's build into Debian kit (deb), this includes the development which 7.1 (through the uneven sub indicates). It's running on my Ubuntu just because I added the repository to synaptic and to test the latest screamers. Bugs galore in this one... dev having moved on to 7.1.18 meantime.
The official repos are retard btw. 7.0.65 is the current recommended for Linux. Get it at Berkeley: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download_all.php The WCG release which will be a 7.0.xx, anyone's guess when, has many backports from the 7.1 development branch, i.e. when you have the WCG kit, you've got much all from 7.1.xx. Now my win7-octo is on WCG's 7.0.68 running about 48 hours. But, doing only WCG+WUProp, not exactly put through its scheduling paces of CPU+GPGPU work, which latter is the most finicky. Critical to WCG is the smoothest most stable installation in Windows, to include W8. |

I am running Win7 with BOINC 7.0.64 and it's just guzzling my internet resources. As I only have 60GB/month before paying through the eyes for internet, this will restrict my contribution. Runnong DSFL, malaria control.net and POEM tasks...

How is it guzzling internet resources? v7 is designed to do less project connecting than 6, in fact you're the first to claim bad intertube behavior. [I'm going to ignore LAN and Local-host traffic, which does not hit internet, but is confused with it]

For those on a budget, BOINC can be set to restrict the amount of data transfered with the "Transfer at most xxx Mbytes, every yyy days". When that budget has been used, BOINC stops fetching / reporting until the new time period starts. It will though not stop computing i.e. when there's a new budget period it will report then and start fetching new work. If it the client guzzling you'll know, if it is not the source, it will carry on.
----------------------------------------For good order, the System Requirement page shows the estimated amount transfered, initially for a science app, and subsequently for every WU. Pick the lowest per hour consuming if need be. edit: If you look at the Dashboard bottom, it shows the per-core estimated bandwidth use per science. Obviously those are averages. The faster a machine the more it will consume. Presently a full balanced mix of sciences eats a calculated estimate of 9.25MB per day, on the average machine. CEP2 only and you're on 118MB per core per day... nothing to do with the choice of client version. [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Jun 20, 2013 10:02:51 PM] |

Hi.
Do you know which package has to be installed first, I've got three (3) .deb files. One is the meta package, the other two are manager & client so does the meta go first I've never had install 3 packages before usually just the two. |

My guess is that the meta package contains both the client and manager. (At least that was the way it was in Synaptic) I would install the meta package first then see if both the client and manager are there. If not then install the other two packages.
----------------------------------------Hope that helps. [Edit 1: Additional ideas:] I've never installed the .deb method, I usually use the .sh Berkeley installer so I don't know if this will be an issue for you or not. But after you get it installed, if you get any messages about missing dependencies or missing libraries, Install these 6 libraries: (sudo apt-get install library-name) libwxgtk2.8-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libxss-dev ia32-libs libstdc++6 freeglut3 [Edit 1 times, last edit by captainjack at Jun 21, 2013 2:44:05 AM] |
