How to install & setup WCG

[Movieman]

wooooo hooooo I installed 5.10.13 instead and its working perfect as a service.

Thank you Movieman and rcofell for offering your help . Movieman even offered to call me. Thank you . FYI I have SAS Harddrives so they are very loud and running like crazy . My GF told me to "turn that s**t off" I'm going to stick it into the garage thanks again.

Must have been another Movieman..
Why I would not even know how to use a phone..

Glad to hear you got it working and a suggestion for you:

Move the GF out to the garage!

[rcofell]

No problem, good to hear things worked out.

Luckly you managed to escape the phone call from Dave, you should be glad you still have the use of your ears, even if all you can hear is those SAS drives . I just think he's getting lonely in his old age, nobody goes to visit him

Now where's that whistling coming from...

Just dodged the bullet on that one then didn't you. No one talks on the phone with Dave aka Movieman and live to tell about it

LOL You guys are hilarious.

I have three more computers

One with two PIII / 2GB's / 4 10K SCSI 36GB Drives /

One Brisbane x2 3600 / 1GB / Tforce 550 / ATI Cheapo GPU

A Dell 4400 Dimension

Once I get my cable hooked up all of them are going to be working. How much should my electric bill jump ?

[rcofell]

Depending on what your rates are, I'd say the Brisbane should be ~$4-6, since my 4000+ Brisbane(x1900xt, so that might be taking a bit of power too) is clocked at 2.7GHz and is only taking 122 Watts atm.

As for the other systems I'd say they probably run about the same, the dual PIII's might take more since its got the scsi drives, but if they're tualatins(my favorite cpu I'd have to say) that would be better.

Just joined the forum and the extreme systems WCG team. This is my first post so hello everyone My rig is only a 3.0 Celeron but its up 24/7 running linux so will leave it crunching. I'm planning on upgrading after lots of research and penny saving.

Cheers

Now where is that volume switch on my Bell Tones?

I just joined WCG-BOINC... Any idea where I can get a stats-type sig? I looked on free-dc and can't find it maybe I am just too tired to see it.

anyway, I might be running this on 4 systems soon. currently have 3, just need to set the other two up

One of the brain surgeons will helpwith the sig by tomorrow.
For now I'll just say thanks for helping!

Thanks for helping, but I'd wager it's a good thing the computers are doing the math, I see FIVE systems you could have up & running for the cause !

Check out this thread, the first few links will show you how to make a sig.

Just check that you are using the right sig ID's for both projects. If you follow the FAQ on the Stats page it should explain it...but if you still have problems, yell really loud and one of us will track them down for you

I followed the FAQ page to set it up. But if I have read WCG's site correctly...it takes at minimum 24hrs since first completed batch. Which completed 8 hrs ago. Currently am only running my P4-D 3.4. I'll have it up on my PentiumM @ 1.7 and my C2D @ 2.2 here soon. Then my future build within' the month

Great work

As said by many, thanks for joining

Might as well. I just registered as Bobsama_XtremeSystems but I can't install the client as this PC (yes the junky AMD K6 550MHz) is too old and chokes as it is and I don't have admin priv on it.

[[XC] junglemaster]

@ Bobsama - no hurry, we will still be here waiting for you

[Hosser]

I can't download the software... I get to step two and click "Continue" and the damn Javascript doesn't do anything, can't get the download window to appear...

Windows Vista x64 & latest Java RE, Opera & IE7 both fail at this step.

I even tried Firefox, though it pained me to do so - also failed.

Any suggestions? :S

EDIT:

Never mind, I followed the "download the World Community Grid software to another computer" link in the welcome email and all is well. Didn't try to detect my OS this time, so that helped.

Are you downloading from the WCG or the BOINC site? Here's the link to the BOINC downloads.

Just joined the team, now crunching away on both PC's in my sig!

One question tho, when I installed it on my secondary PC, it didnt ask for username/password when it started downloading projects from server.
Anyone know why? Has it something to do with both machines coming from the same (public) IP address?

Welcome and thanks for helping!
It should ask for your info each time unless they've changed.
I'm using 5.10.20 so perhaps there is something new??

[sierra_bound]

Welcome to the team.

On your My Grid page at the World Community Grid site, does it show one or two device installations? If you are using a router, there is usually a slight difference in the local area connection IP address for each computer. The last digit is usually different on each machine.

WCG uses your computer's Windows name to distinguish each installation. So if you named one computer "Fred" and another "Sam", those are the names WCG will also use.

How to I make WCG use my HDD, not my SSD?
