platform 'i586-mandriva-linux-gnu' not found

Posted 9 Jan 2010 by Skip Da Shu
Post: Grrrr. Stupid Mandriva packagers. I CAN NOT believe this problem STILL exists... somebody handed me a Mandriva machine (2010) and I was installing BOINC for them... after getting around the gui_rpc_auth.cfg problem where the manager will not attach to the client I\'d hoped I was done... attach any project... and I get this crap... 7 months later. They need to take a look at the Debian package. It just works. |

Reading that historical account of the 'Bern Floods' I thought I picked up that ya'll are using Dell stuff. Living about 10 miles from Dell you'd be surprised how many Dell server parts are laying around within a 50m radius of here. Next time you need a PSU post up the model... we might be able to locate one in a matter of hours. I'd call Steve first... about 3 miles up the hwy from me... unless he's 'cleaned up' he has an entire room in his house full of Dell stuff... mostly server stuff... I don't ask. LOL. |

Les, I agree this s/b in number crunching... but... The link in this (below) on the front page directs folks here. Recent updates Think maybe that should be redirected to news thread in number crunching. |

Just a thought... Donated / Loaned Hardware
(Message 37202)
Posted 13 Jun 2009 by Skip Da Shu
Post: Mo/Milo, I know this is a long-shot but... The folks that crunch for CPDN are a wide and varied group. I'm sure the jobs folks have also range all over the place from mere Rocket Scientist to highly esteemed Sanitation Engineer. However, I strongly suspect that there's a higher than average % of folks that are somehow connected to IT (and/or are just hobby hardware geeks). As I sit here and ponder the disk space and power supply problems going on my eyes keep drifting to my 'parts shelves'. Specifically to the 7 extra HDDs, 4 extra power supplies and 17 power cords over there. Now my stuff is officially certified 'Junk' and all older than dust. But I can't help to wonder if someone else has access to or happens to have a spare PSU or a "raid array" of the same make/model that ya'll need. Not likely but posting up the specific make/model of the parts needed wouldn't take more than a couple minutes and we might just get lucky. Maybe somebody with more means than I would be willing to ship ya'll a PSU as a 'loaner'. Who knows? Maybe worth a shot in the future. Hmmmm... Now that reminds me, where is that old dead ProLiant server box I kept around for the PSU and SCSI card. |

Post: Please see my post here in reply to a similar question on our other board........................ Les, Unencumbered by any actual knowledge... I was thinking that it\'s not a matter of modifying the edit in code but rather some parameterization to set \"\'X\' # of units will be sent out\" so that the edit is passed / message not triggered. Oh well, no response needed... just rambling thoughts. |

Post: The server has its new RAID array and has had an OS upgrade, but there are problems with the array that mean it can\'t come back on line yet. This is supposed to have been worked on this afternoon and I\'ll hopefully find out more tomorrow............ Offer \'em a 12-pack, It\'ll be fixed within the hour. In days long gone this would always get my mainframe batch jobs through much faster at month-end. |

(Message 35940)
Posted 16 Jan 2009 by Skip Da Shu
Post: For Xubuntu/Ubuntu you may also need to install the libstdc++5 package. It\'s been too long for my memory to be accurate on this but... I don\'t think this is required for CPDN but it is for some BOINC project apps. There were some posts on this back around Nov/Dec 2007... I\'ll take a quick look because I thought I\'d documented what projects require what back then. |

Workunit error - check skipped
(Message 35075)
Posted 21 Sep 2008 by Skip Da Shu
Post: I am noticing that most if not all of my WUs returned that are marked as \"success\" have \'valid state\' as \"Workunit error - check skipped\". Because some of these are OC\'d dedicated crunchers I was about to undertake an across the board reduction in clock speeds until I checked a couple \'not overclocked\' machines http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/show_host_detail.php?hostid=8270 and see it getting the same result. Am I really contributing anything at all these days? Is this \'normal\'? |
