You\'ve obviously cracked it, as there\'s a big lot of trickles now come through for host 751367.

Bill,

On the Your account page, choose \'climateprediction.net preferences\'. Then select the type of work unit after clicking on the \'Edit climateprediction.net preferences\' for the appropriate profile (the edit link is after the relevant set of preferences).

Then select the computer summary page for the host for which you want to change the location (e.g. 815493). At the bottom is a list box to make the selection. (You have to be logged in as a CPDN user, otherwise you\'ll only see the information that everyone sees for that host.)

Ageless has provided a download for 5.10.21, both 32-bit and 64-bit:

Large thanks for the pointer to Ageless, whose skill has not withered. :-}

I didn\'t have any problems when installing in 10.3. But a few questions come to mind:

* Is this this 32-bit 10.3 or the 64-bit? If 64-bit, did you install 32-bit package support (IA32?)

* Which version of Boinc are you trying to install, was this the Ubuntu-only version 5.10.28, or one which can run on any distribution (5.8.16 or 5.10.21)? 32-bit or 64-bit?

I thought the 32 bit support was default, but I\'ll check. And I ran 5.8.16. My install is 64 bit OS.

Thanks for the response,
BillN

The machines, all AMD, eight in total, fit on my screen.

AMD in XP upchucks less detail. Linux vomits most. Whatever, it\'s a boinc issue, not a CPDN issue, as DJStarfox notes.

I can\'t understand this change at all! Suddenly, all of my 6 computers using Linux list *every finicking detail* of the processor, causing each system to take 2/3rds of a screen. Note that the details serve no useful purpose.

Does anybody test for usability? It sure doesn\'t look like it. The current display is useless for more than two systems.

Now my computer list is essentially useless because I can only see part of two systems at a time. Is there some way to limit the display of each system to 6 lines?

What screen resolution do you have? All your systems are fitting perfect on my 1280*1024 display.

A merge facility has always been available.
You\'ll see it at the bottom of each computer page, BUT it will only merge identical computers. It bases this on the cpu description, and the amount of ram.

After 30 days, computers that haven\'t been heard from are hidden, with an option to make them visible.

It\'s very unlikely that there\'s NO info at all.
There SHOULD be messages that say what BOINC is trying to do, and a response from the server. Copying some of these and pasting them here will get a better answer than just: \"Good Luck\".

Thanks for the clue. I went back a few days in the messages and found the BOINC client was terminating with zero status but no file to transfer. This happened repeatedly, so I followed the advice to reset the project. System is now downloading a new file, so this looks good.

Obvious, once somebody points you in the right direction. :-}

All socket 939 motherboards *in theory* should be able to handle dual cores given a Bios update (even if designed prior to the introduction of dual cores), but only if the motherboard manufacturer followed AMD\'s specification to the letter. Some didn\'t...

In theory, yes. However, this is the second ECS board I have discarded. The first ECS board failed in less than two years, and this one needed the replacement BIOS after the first few months. Maybe it\'s just a fluke, but I\'ve used my last ECS board. I\'ll let you know what happens with the new ASUS board.
