'amd64-portbld-freebsd' isn't a recognized platform yet. I saw your post on the WCG forums. If you submit the platform as suggested, they might authorize it to receive work units. Keep in mind that 32-bit FreeBSD was just accepted as a platform in February.
Alternatively, if this machine is going to be a dedicated cruncher, you can install a 32-bit system. I'd try to get amd64 authorized, though.
Hey there.
Been trying to put the sig up today, but for some reason it wouldn't show up.
Then at the Signature Permissions I saw this : Can Upload Animated GIF for Signature No (bottom right). So this explains that..
Any idea why or what else could I do?
Thanks!
Edit : Oh hey, it suddenly works for some reason! : ) Hoo-Ray! :) :toast:
Looks good Face :toast:Quote:

Very convinient and simple to set-up. Been playing with the colors for half a day though to get some combo I finally liked. Would reccommend this to others as well. :toast:
how do i set this to run 100% and not 60
hey bill I may be wrong but I think that it is a mix between 2 things!Quote:

scroll down to advanced settings and look for "On multiprocessors, at most use:" make sure it is set for at least 2 I have mine set for 4.
I hope I am right and if I am wrong I hope someone helps you!! :)
Change your settings here, by simply typing 100 instead of the 60, and press save.Quote:

You should see your second counter on cpu time count more.
If not, open your boinc manager and press update under the project tab
thanks
what bench marks?
i dont have ht enabled
You should see you your second counter on cpu time count more.

it still isnt 100%
is my boinc mgr on the web page or in the agent
The BOINC manager is a GUI. You should see the BOINC icon in the system tray. Just right click on it and go to "Open BOINC Manager". If you don't see the icon, then go to Start and then All Programs. BOINC should be listed there.
On the World Community Grid home page. Click on the "My Grid" tab. On the left-hand side you will see Device Manager. Your BOINC install should appear there. To change the settings that Frisch mentioned, click on Default.
The CPU benchmark can be run from the BOINC Manager. Go to Advanced and then "Run CPU Benchmarks".
BOINC is composed of a manager and a client. The client is the software that accesses the WCG servers. It's what allows you to download and send back work units.

Some people have had problems running BOINC with Vista. There is a beta version of BOINC that supposedly has better compatibility with Vista. I don't use Vista, so I haven't tried it.

I run boinc on my laptop on Vista without any problems so you should be ok..
yeah the bionic is good i had to uninstall the other manager
Getting the same thing as StyM
2 Machine(s): Dual-core AMD
O.S. Suse 10.2 64-bit (Windows is not an option :nono: )
BOINC client 5.8.16 (standard load from WCG)
crt file is in BOINC dir
Date-time is set correctly
SSL is installed
GTK 32 bit libs installed
Previous install of 5.3.xxx worked fine (it's the danm SSL crap :bsod: )
Have re-installed several times - NO CHANGE :upset: :bsod: :mad: :help:
Thanks MikeE

Nevermind that!
I've installed some new scripts into the shell last night (one them being BOINC Manager), my 3.33GHz E6600 has been crunching steadily on Dapper Ubuntu 6.06 for about 8 hours. ;)

Howdy guys, I just signed up for WCG, and still trying to figure out what client to run. It looks like I should be running BIONIC and not the default WCG client, I'll get that switched over today once I get home from work.
I currently dont have a GREAT crunching rig (limited to a 3 GHz P4) but I should be upgrading to either a Core 2 Quad or Core 2 Duo once the price drops in July.

As to the P4, it all helps my friend.
A P4-3000 should do app 2000-2200 a day.
Questions, feel free to ask and someone will try to help.
Many thanks for helping out!:up:
Thanks movieman. I just installed BOINC client, and its unable to connect to the WCG network. I am getting an error stating "Communication Deferred xx:xx:xx" x's are a countdown for 1 hr. Any ideas? I tried to do a search for the sticky on BOINC but I could find any related to get this thing working.
Wesley
*EDIT*
Inside the BOINC client, I am getting an error message that reads: "Message from server: Invalid or missing account key. Visit this Porject's web site to get an account key."
I've found the account key inside the Account Profile section.
System Specs:
Windows Vista Business
4 gigs DD2 @ 800 MHz
EVGA 680i Mobo
P4 Prescott running @ 3GHz
I have installed BOINC on a 2nd HDD since thats what allowed the UD client to work properly inside Vista (found on WCG forums)
If there is anything else, please let me know.
I have just installed BOINC on my rig and set it to work, under MP I got 16 max, so it should use all 4 cores/ 8 threads on my machine. Time is set to 75%. (I use the machine.) Do I have to eliminate the Pic in my Sig to use the stat counter? It shouldn't be over the max size (The counter doesn't look over 100pix tall, and my sig is 100pix tall, and we are allowed 250 pix in height no? Thanks guys.
**EDIT**: BTW; Do I have to register with Free-Dc.org to get my stats displayed? Or is that an automatic type thing?
And how do I go about "optimizing" the BOINC program? A set of files to DL or what? Will post Benchmark when I get a chance.
