1) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : Running same WU on both Linux and Windows? (Message 2516) Posted 1 Sep 2004 by old_user3928 Post: My machine is duel booted with Mandrake Linux 10, and Windows 2000. I use linux most, but lately I\'ve been using Windows quite a bit as well. The partition boinc is installed on is formatted as Fat32, useable by both OS\'s. Is it possible to install the windows version of boinc to the same directory, and have it work on the same workunits the linux client is working on? For example, lets say I\'m in linux, boinc is running, and I reboot to windows. Can I have the windows client \'pick up\' where the linux one left off, continueing the calculactions on the same workunit? Or would it download new WU\'s to work on? I hate to lose calculation time just because I\'m in windows.
2) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : Several problems - computer miscount and downloading fails (Message 2424) Posted 31 Aug 2004 by old_user3928 Post: I do have a modem, but it's a dsl modem, so I'm not sure why I'm getting timeouts. Oh well, that seems to have done the trick. I had boinc reset the project and all's well now. Merged the three duplicate hosts into one, that took care of that problem as well. Thanks for the help :)
3) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : Several problems - computer miscount and downloading fails (Message 2320) Posted 31 Aug 2004 by old_user3928 Post: Hi, I just joined CPDN, I\'ve been wanting to for a while but I waited until Seti went to boinc version 4 so I could run them both. But now that I\'ve done it, I\'ve hit some problems. First, CPDN has miscounted the number of computers I\'ve installed the project on, or rather, it\'s counted the same computer three times. Three seperate host ID\'s, but it\'s the same computer. Second, it (BOINC) can\'t seem to download the actual program that will do the work. Here\'s the output: 2004-08-31 06:32:09 [climateprediction.net] Requesting 17529 seconds of work 2004-08-31 06:32:09 [climateprediction.net] Sending request to scheduler: http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc_cgi/cgi 2004-08-31 06:32:10 [climateprediction.net] Scheduler RPC to http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc_cgi/cgi succeeded 2004-08-31 06:32:10 [climateprediction.net] Project prefs: using your defaults 2004-08-31 06:32:10 [climateprediction.net] Started download of hadsm3_4.03_i686-pc-linux-gnu 2004-08-31 06:32:10 [climateprediction.net] Started download of hadsm3se_4.03_i686-pc-linux-gnu.zip 2004-08-31 06:32:22 [climateprediction.net] Finished download of hadsm3_4.03_i686-pc-linux-gnu 2004-08-31 06:32:22 [climateprediction.net] Throughput 98793 bytes/sec 2004-08-31 06:32:22 [climateprediction.net] Started download of hadsm3um_4.03_i686-pc-linux-gnu.zip 2004-08-31 06:33:00 [climateprediction.net] Giving up on download of hadsm3um_4.03_i686-pc-linux-gnu.zip: File downloaded was not the correct file or was garbage from bad URL 2004-08-31 06:33:00 [climateprediction.net] Started download of hadsm3data_4.03_i686-pc-linux-gnu.zip 2004-08-31 06:33:00 [climateprediction.net] verify_downloaded_file(): projects/climateprediction.net/hadsm3um_4.03_i686-pc-linux-gnu.zip: MD5 computation failed: -108 2004-08-31 06:33:00 [climateprediction.net] Checksum or signature error for hadsm3um_4.03_i686-pc-linux-gnu.zip 2004-08-31 06:33:17 [climateprediction.net] Giving up on download of hadsm3se_4.03_i686-pc-linux-gnu.zip: File downloaded was not the correct file or was garbage from bad URL 2004-08-31 06:33:18 [climateprediction.net] Started download of 03it_400029550.zip 2004-08-31 06:33:18 [climateprediction.net] verify_downloaded_file(): projects/climateprediction.net/hadsm3se_4.03_i686-pc-linux-gnu.zip: MD5 computation failed: -108 2004-08-31 06:33:18 [climateprediction.net] Checksum or signature error for hadsm3se_4.03_i686-pc-linux-gnu.zip 2004-08-31 06:33:18 [climateprediction.net] Finished download of 03it_400029550.zip 2004-08-31 06:33:18 [climateprediction.net] Throughput 10481 bytes/sec That may be more info then needed, but I didn\'t want to leave out anything relevant. Please note that I\'ve been running seti just fine since it started using BOINC. Can anyone help me sort this out?
