Well, now that my new rig is running I guess it's time to retire some old crunchers.
----------------------------------------All but the top 2 near the wall are going away. That to the left of my keyboard is a Surly. CynicAle to be precise.  Most important crunching tool.  There is no utility written to control the speed of a Nvidia GPU fan for linux. Everyone is asking for it but the answer on all the boards are...not going to happen. <sigh> Probably paid off by M$  .Got myself a couple dozen beta's this afternoon. Still 200 days away from sapphire. Stay warm!  [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Dec 14, 2010 2:25:53 AM] |

I found the fix for "Your computer has no NVIDIA GPU" here--> http://www.gpugrid.net/forum_thread.php?id=2316#19002 Seems like a stupid bug. Open terminal & type $ sudo /etc/init.d/boinc-client restart Every time you restart Ubuntu. I'm not on your team (but I did grow up in Duluth!) And I think this might be useful to you. The reason BOINC running as a daemon in Ubuntu doesn't see the NVIDIA GPU when you first boot is that BOINC starts before the GPU has started up. There's a simple fix that doesn't require you to restart the BOINC daemon manually. Edit the script /etc/init.d/boinc-client as follows (You will need to use "sudo" to do this as root): Find the section that starts: start() { log_begin_msg "Starting $DESC: $NAME" if is_running; then log_progress_msg "already running" . . . Add the line "sleep 15" after the opening brace: start() { sleep 15 log_begin_msg "Starting $DESC: $NAME" if is_running; then log_progress_msg "already running" . . . This will cause a long enough delay in bringing up BOINC to let the GPU start. (If 15 isn't quite long enough on your machines, you can adjust it. That's plenty on mine.) It works in Ubuntu 10.04; I haven't upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10 so I can't say for sure about it. I am learning from reading your thread. I hope this is useful to you. Linux rules!

Still 200 days away from sapphire. Stay warm! Nice tool. If I was still drinking, mine would be JACK! That stuff was so good. Gave it up many years ago. I'll have a beer or wine once in awhile. love the Sam Adams winter stuff. Nice farm. Had to show the wife that picture to show her that others are more addicted than me.  That quad I bought won't work properly on my board. Found out the hard way only E0 stepping will work at max speed. So back on the hunt.PS.. What's the scorpion on the wall for.

PS.. What's the scorpion on the wall for. That's a gecko. My wife has a desert theme going on in the basement. She's got cactus, roadrunners, armadillos etc... stenciled all over. Thanks kateiacy for the tip. I have Ubuntu 10.10 loaded and will test it out as soon as I get home from work.  |

You also know if you have extra space on the rack, you will have to fill it up with other systems eventually. You are way more organized than I am. Cheers

I'm not on your team (but I did grow up in Duluth!) Nice to hear from you. Stop by often. Duluth - nice city. Rowed against Duluth Rowing Club many years ago on the bay. Also ate at Joe Huies, which was a long time ago. That place had atmosphere. Ran Gramdmas and the Edmund Fitzgerald a couple of times each. Duluth is always an interesting place. Cheers

When I came back from the army, was going to move up to Duluth. Very beautiful city and area. The unemployment back in 95 was to high so stayed in St cloud area. I go up periodically. Would move up there in a heart beat if I could.

Would move up there in a heart beat if I could. Brink, which ones get the axe! I love Duluth and the north shore. I go birding there at least once during the winter. The gulls from the Arctic and Hudson Bay some times show up as is the case this year. gulls and others I plan on going the last week of December. Hope to see when I'm there other than the gulls include: Snow Buntings, Grey Jays, Boreal Chickadees, White winged and Red Crossbills, Purple Finches, Pine Siskins, Hoary and Common Redpoles, and maybe a Golden Eagle. Which ones get the axe... 1 - G3 Mac (733Mhz) 1 - Compaq desktop (733Mhz) 1 dell server (2.8Ghz HT P4) 1 HP Desktop (2.4Ghz P4 No HT) 1 MSI home build (2.4 Ghz P4 No HT) Now I'm going to put that script in and see if it works. Edit: Script worked perfectly! [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Dec 15, 2010 12:54:06 AM] |

Most of my Clean Water WUs get validated right away, but some are marked as inconclusive and I get no credit. When I check again later they are marked as valid. Anyone know how this happens?

There is a thread somewhere which explains the inconclusives are checks which have two for verification. Most of the wu are single quorum except for some which wait for the second one to finish as a quality check. Cheers
