1) Questions and Answers : Getting started : New to Climate Prediction - No tasks for a week (Message 63503) Posted 7 Feb 2021 by ohmbroo Post: Les, Thanks for the extra info. I really just wanted to make some use of some of the better legacy laptops I have. I have found I can get BOINC to work, but will have to research projects and be careful of which ones, if any, that I can help in a timely manner. The best old laptop I got has gotten just over 3% in 16 hours of time, I'll abort the work unit for scholastic expediencies. Cheers and safety!
2) Questions and Answers : Getting started : New to Climate Prediction - No tasks for a week (Message 63500) Posted 6 Feb 2021 by ohmbroo Post: MMM. OK, I don't know the forums well enough to know if I made a private message my clicking on "REPLY". I see a very specific "Private messages: Inbox · Write" set of options in the upper left. This is where, as a newbee, I would think is the route to a private message. I would suggest changing the REPLY button to REPLY DIRECT or something else that makes better design. Sorry for the inconvenience. I got a newer machine with 2 cores running a Intel Core Duo P8600 at 2.4GHz, 4GB RAM. Has a spinning hard drive at 5400 rpm. It is already at 0.25% after 1.5 hours. I could swap the HDD out with 120GB SDD for improvement. cheers

Has a single core with a 1.333 GHz clock with 3 GB RAM with a 160GB HDD. Almost at 0.01% after 5 hours. I have a couple more 32 bit laptops that I scrubbed for friends. I may use one of those if faster. At least I learned more about this effort and installed on a linux. Thanks and Cheers!

We will see if it grabs any work units. Thanks for all the help folks! Cheers!

I have a couple older 32 bit architecture laptops that can handle Linux Mint. I'll work on that and see what I can do to contribute. Cheers,
6) Questions and Answers : Getting started : New to Climate Prediction - No tasks for a week (Message 63471) Posted 2 Feb 2021 by ohmbroo Post: Thanks for the info. Is there some reason for the OS segregation? My first guess would be the Linux compatible Bionic would have something to do with this. At any rate, I have linux here and there and also Virtual Machine as needed. What are the constraints on the Linux OS and/or platform running it? Cheers!

Thought I would try climate prediction, since SETI is down. Started on one computer, no work units for weeks, tried another computer, still nothing. Server status shows 7,000+ available. Anyone? thanks, Edward - TI-19045
