Post: You can normally ignore the status reports there. They are designed for other projects and do not accurately reflect the status here. |

BOINC causing problems burning DVDs
(Message 32467)
Posted 6 Feb 2008 by Keck_Komputers
Post: CPDN also happens to be the worst project for interference with CD/DVD burning. It does some heavy I/O as well as keeping CPU usage high. Forcing a lower speed for the burning can also help reduce errors. |

Posted 23 Dec 2007 by Keck_Komputers
Post: I assume you are talking about this host. The host details show one CPU even though the description is for a quad core chip. Check that your OS is registering all of the cores, a reinstall of the OS is often required when changing to multi-core chips. Also check your BOINC directory for a cc_config.xml file, if it exsists make sure there are no tags for \"NCPU\". |

Post: Actually plasma screens are the only ones that you really need to worry about image burn-in on. Modern CRTs and LCDs are much less prone to image burn-in than the old CRTs were. It is still possible on both types but it takes a very long time. |

Post: The most common workaround for vista is to install as a service to a directory outside of \"program files\", c:\\BOINC for example. |

Post: I usaully copy the account_*.xml file over in this case. Once it is in BOINC\'s directory the next time BOINC starts it will automatically attach to the project. The other method I use is attaching to an account manager. Do that once and then you can attach to projects using a web page. |

Message from server - platform not found
(Message 31150)
Posted 28 Oct 2007 by Keck_Komputers
Post: If you are content with ABC\'s 64-bit client (assuming it is 64-bit, most of the Projects which recognize 64-bit boinc have 32-bit clients -- but, if memory serves, two of about 50 actually have them), then have at it. Your choice. Your memory is slightly off here. There are only two projects so far that GAIN any significant processing speed from running a 64bit app, ABC and APS. There are a few more that have native 64bit apps but they do not make a difference. There may be a new workaround in the 5.10.27 client. By adding an approiate <alt_platform> element to the cc_config.xml file you may be able to get 32bit apps from a server that does not recognize 64bit clients. I have not tested this though. |

55000 in pending credit...?
(Message 31093)
Posted 24 Oct 2007 by Keck_Komputers
Post: The server state, outcome and client state descriptions are certainly not always reliable/true for cpdn models. I still have no idea whether this is a boinc or cpdn problem. If we start to discuss this with the boinc experts it will have to be when we have a lot of free time ahead........... These are CPDN idiosyncrasies. CPDN does not use the standard BOINC mechanisms for credit handling so the various standard indicators are not reliable on this project and should mostly be ignored. |

Posted 16 Sep 2007 by Keck_Komputers
Post: You can not show graphics unless the task is running. If you are attached to other projects they may need to run for a while before the CPDN task starts. So from what you have said there does not appear to be a problem. However when looking at your host you have downloaded 4 models today, when I would not have expected you to get more than 2 on your host. If it doesn\'t start up in the next few hours restart the client and post the first 20 lines or so of messages. |

Post: The server also keeps track of the contact sequence number of each host. When you change things and this number is not what the server expects it can create a host ID that can not be merged even if all the descriptive fields are identical. |

Post: Metod\'s answer is correct, however he overlooked a reason for suspending one of the models. If the CPDN server does not hear from a model for about 4 to 6 weeks it may reissue it. Suspending the running model once a month should prevent this. |

Posted 1 Jul 2007 by Keck_Komputers
Post: When you reboot one of the first messages will be number of CPUs. You appear to have a hyperthreaded CPU so this should read 2. The newer clients will suspend projects if there is a lack of memory. Your host only has 512mb of memory so that probably explains it. |

Post: Also, 5.10.7 has been \'recalled\' with a serious fault. Nothing official, but I\'ve heard that it can delete all of the icons on the desktop. It may be causing explorer.exe (the windows desktop) to crash. It does not acutally delete anything and restarting the computer will fix it. However even though it is a fairly rare occurence this is a serious enough problem to recall the version. |

Post: A few projects and non-standard clients started using the \"AMD64\" platform ID before an official platform ID was created. When an official platform ID was created it used \"x86_64\". So that is the direction all projects will be heading eventually. |

Post: Updateing the scheduler to be based on the current head should enable the sending of 32bit models to 64bit machines until the 64bit model is ready. In fact only 2 or 3 projects are actually sending 64bit tasks, most are using the new server code to automatically send 32bit tasks to 64bit clients. |

Post: BOINC does not support graphics on vista yet. Look for this in the 6.x.x version of BOINC. Even then individual projects may take some time updating their graphics code to work with vista. |
