21) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : My computer goes to idle (Message 5099) Posted 6 Oct 2004 by old_user1329 Post: > check your "general preferences" web page here, it may be that you have it > setup to suspend if computer is in use, only run at certain times, etc? > "Do work while computer is in use?" shows yes. "Do work only between the hours of" shows (no restriction). "Leave applications in memory while preempted?" shows yes. "Confirm before connecting to internet?" shows yes. Climateprediction "Resource share" shows 100. I see nothing in preferences that would explain the problem I am seeing. BTW, it stopped again (after only a couple of hours). And what top has to say about the idling process is 'defunct'.
22) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : My computer goes to idle (Message 5092) Posted 6 Oct 2004 by old_user1329 Post: After running for a while (on the latest occurrence of this problem, the client had been started about six hours earlier) top shows that hadsm3um_4.04_i goes into an idle state. Further, top comments that this process is in 'residual' (or something) state - but does not say zombie. (Climateprediction was the only application running on my SuSE 9.1 system. I do not have X running.) I could not kill the idling hadsm3um_4.04_i from root. However, I had started it from the console, and entering ctrl-C on the console did end it. When I then started the client from the console again, the process by that name (but different number) started executing anew. I could not find any messages on stderr or in any of the files in any of the climateprediction directories. My system runs OFFLINE -- I would have to manually set up a relay for it to be able to communicate with the server(s). mikus
23) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : how do I get it to run again ? (Message 4039) Posted 13 Sep 2004 by old_user1329 Post: > you should be able to start up and explicitly connect via: > > ./boinc_4.05_i686* -update_prefs http://climateprediction.net > That is EXACTLY what I typed in. The client soon types the "Defering communication ..." message. After that, 'top' shows my system to be idle.
24) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : how do I get it to run again ? (Message 4028) Posted 13 Sep 2004 by old_user1329 Post: Needed to reboot my system. Afterwards, when I from the console started the Linux client (WITH the -update_prefs http://climateprediction.net parameter) it told me \"Deferring communication with project for 1 weeks, 2 days, 0 hours, 56 minutes, and 23 seconds\". My system is sitting there idle. I don\'t want to wait a week to see if it does anything. How do I put it to work again ? Should I create a new account, wipe my disk, and start all over again from the beginning ? mikus p.s. This system runs OFFLINE. It requires manual intervention on my part to set up a temporary proxy for it to communicate with the CP servers. Ir is very hard for me to set up the link when the __client__ wants it. Is it possible for me to tell the client when __I__ have set up such a link ?
