Re: [boinc_dev] Problems with crypt_prog
Hi Crit/Randolph, I cannot recall to have run into this issue myself. This is how it looks for us, following (and improving) the Debian Wiki page: moeller@twin1a:~ $ dpkg -L boinc-server-maker | grep crypt /usr/lib/boinc-server-maker/lib/crypt_prog moeller@twin1a:~ $ dpkg -l boinc-server-maker ii boinc-server-maker 7.2.28+dfsg-1exp1 amd64 BOINC server applications and data files Are you running the same version? It should reside in debian/experimental or snapshot.debian.org, so we always have something current when we want it updated for some security reason. From above location crypt_prog is copied to the project root's subdirectory 'bin', as in /var/lib/boinc-server-uppercase-test/test/bin/crypt_prog Is locate crypt_prog helping to locate the binary? What did you execute when the error surfaced? Cheers, Steffen Gesendet: Dienstag, 18.

Re: [boinc_dev] Estimated Time Remaining, frictional reporting ...
There are two different values, rsc_fpops_bound is used for the resource limit, and rsc_fpops_est is used for the estimated time and progress. So wanting to avoid 'resource limit exceeded' errors has nothing to do with providing a good estimate. El lunes, 17 de febrero de 2014, Richard Haselgrove r.haselgr...@btopenworld.com escribió: Unfortunately, some projects take the easy cop-out - applying a massive rsc_fpops_bound to circumvent resource limit exceeded, instead of resolving it properly from first principles. I suspect that some of the smaller projects have enough on their plate getting their heads round their own scientific research needs, and don't have enough time and energy left to switch into computer scientist mode and concentrate on the boincification of their application and workflow.

If an app's jobs are of a size proportional to wu.rsc_fpops_est, the static estimates should be almost exact, even for a host's first jobs. The static estimates are often very rough ones because it's sometime not that easy to get a handle on accurate ones. In the extreme the estimate gets just set in such a way that you don't run into a resource limit exceeded issue - so you add at least some headroom. However, even in such a case you may know that your app will behave more or less linear. This is why I think having the said opt-in flag would be very useful for such apps.

Re: [boinc_dev] Problems with crypt_prog
I don't know what the debian boinc server package has in it so this is just a guess When following the BOINC wiki instructions to set it up from scratch, that problem does not exist. I believe that crypt was separated from the BOINC library a while back and that there is now a separate libboinc_crypt.a library. So, maybe the Debian package only links to boinc and not boinc_crypt.

Re: [boinc_dev] IDLE detection on Linux
I believe that there is a setting that can delay the startup of BOINC tasks for X seconds. If this is true, then we have to be storing the BOINC startup time, and we could piggyback off of that somehow. -Original Message- From: boinc_dev [mailto:boinc_dev-boun...@ssl.berkeley.edu] On Behalf Of Jussi Lahtinen Sent: Tuesday, February 18, 2014 1:10 PM To: boinc_dev@ssl.berkeley.edu Subject: [boinc_dev] IDLE detection on Linux BOINC's IDLE detection on Linux desktops seem to have been always broken (only the ways have changed). There are various methods for BOINC to get the IDLE time on Linux, but I have focused on trying to fix the one that relies on Xserver. It seems that BOINC starts too soon to work properly with X. Because if you restart BOINC after desktop is fully loaded, it will work as expected. Correct assumption? So I tried to prevent BOINC to touch X related code until X is really ready. See attachment and from the end function named xss_idle. This doesn't work for reasons I'm not aware. Anyone knows what is the problem with this method? Or how to fix it? Alternatively, is there function/method to make BOINC to restart itself? Or is there method to make BOINC start later?

[boinc_dev] Default local preferences set Use at most to zero gigabytes
Today I installed BOINC clean on a system that never had a BOINC on it before. I used 7.2.39 - 64bit, that I had downloaded from http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php I was testing something about the screen saver flickering, but during my travels in BOINC, I found that the default value for Use at most is set to 0.00GB of disk space. See http://imageshack.com/a/img24/9396/f571.png This will mean that project servers will refuse to send work to these systems, until that value has been adjusted to something normal. Do know that a lot of people will look in BOINC's local preferences, and exit out through the OK button, not knowing that this will immediately use the new local preferences, overriding their web preferences. Since the Use at most X GB disk space value is a required one, can we make sure that it can never be zero? Or when it's read as being zero, that we use the value from the global_prefs.xml file? Or set it by default to 5Gb for PCs and Macs (NOT on Android!). -- Jord van der Elst. ___ boinc_dev mailing list boinc_dev@ssl.berkeley.edu http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
Re: [boinc_dev] IDLE detection on Linux
I'm not sure I understand your point... No need to piggyback, if you look at that attachment, you'll see that I already implemented function to determine whether Xserver is loaded or not. Problem is, when Xserver is finally ready, BOINC should restart itself. Or BOINC shouldn't start at all until Xserver is ready.

[boinc_dev] Applications absolutly not updating % work done ... cleanmobility.now 6.06 of http://qmcathome.org/
Applications absolutely not updating % work done at all : This month it is cleanmobility.now 6.06 of http://qmcathome.org/ -- 6.05 or 6.04 would update % done at reasonable intervals – by no means perfect or linear – but better than nothing -- Now, nothing but silence -- Based on the behaviors of 6.05 etc ... one could guesstimate runtime completion, but this is not possible Oddly this extent of bad application behavior is quire rare, maybe one release version in 25 per year does this. It could just be caused by a malformed (botched syntax etc ...) settings file, per each work unit – so fixable.
