1) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : \'boincmgr\' received an X Window System error (Message 32356) Posted 26 Jan 2008 by old_user442168 Post: Yes I\'m running the 71.86 driver on a GeForce2 GTS which is supported. I think the driver is working fine. There\'s no nvidia in /etc/init.d/. OpenGL is working, too (glxgears at ~1900 fps and 3D-Games). Thanks anyway for the comment.
2) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : \'boincmgr\' received an X Window System error (Message 32328) Posted 24 Jan 2008 by old_user442168 Post: I used to have X Windows shutdown problems on Fedora 7 because the proprietary ATI graphics driver is crap. Upgrading did help, but if I switch from init 5 to init 3, it will not shutdown X. Runlevel 5 or 3 is OK by itself, just not switching between the two. If you have an unstable X system, other processes will have problems. Anyway, I hope you got it figured out. Any more problems, then try an upgrade/reinstall of OS or drivers. well, I have a very old graphics card and there\'s only one driver which works for me. And I have to install it manually because there\'s no repository for old legacy drivers. But why did it work before and now doesn\'t? I don\'t think there are problems when switching between the runlevels on my system.
3) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : \'boincmgr\' received an X Window System error (Message 32316) Posted 24 Jan 2008 by old_user442168 Post: I just typed \"W\" in the Graph and it turned to the 2D-View. I have already turned off the screensaver. I only sometimes look at the graph manually to check if everything is ok (ice-world, weird behavior...) Hopefully the new model works fine (I have already said this a few times before :D )
4) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : \'boincmgr\' received an X Window System error (Message 32312) Posted 23 Jan 2008 by old_user442168 Post: But why everything works fine except of the shut-down-thing and BOINC-Manager (the boinc-client also works but I don\'t want to run only the command-line BOINC). I also have the feeling that it all started after I installed Google Desktop. I have to try quitting it before shutting down. I will try it right now, brb. OK, it shut down properly, at least it looked like. But the graphics driver got damaged again and I had to install it again. During the installation it tells me: ERROR: File \'usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so\' is not a symbolic link. it links to /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so.71.86.01 which is in the same folder and then later: Your driver installation has been altered since it was initially installed...will uninstall as best it can...see \'/var/log/nvidia-installer.log\' for details Maybe something is wrong with the installed driver but the installer doesn\'t uninstall the bad file Wow, I just tried to start BOINC-Manager and it works!!! Maybe the uninstaller worked better this time. I have just set everything up and it works. The Graphic is working again, too. But it shows the 3D-Globe although I have selected 2D in the preferences? And the globe doesn\'t seem to be OpenGL-Rendered (turns very slow, about 1 Frame every 3 secound or 1/3 fps when in fullscreen, 2 fps when small).

7) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : \'boincmgr\' received an X Window System error (Message 32294) Posted 22 Jan 2008 by old_user442168 Post: I have a problem, again. BOINC didn\'t work properly on my SUSE-linux and didn\'t show the graphics. After a model-crash I decided to reinstall BOINC. Before the reinstall I had a problem with linux (and still have), it doesn\'t want to shut down and I have to switch off the computer by force. Then after 2 such \"shut-downs\" X Window got damaged and I had to install the Graphics-Driver again. After that BOINC-Manager didn\'t work any more: The program \'boincmgr\' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was \'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)\'. (Details: serial 557 error_code 11 request_code 146 minor_code 5) ... Now I still can\'t get BOINC-Manager to work. I have already deleted everything from the BOINC-folder and reinstalled it. BOINC-Manager still shows the same error. What can I do?
8) Questions and Answers : Windows : model crashed, from which point shall I restore backup? (Message 32128) Posted 10 Jan 2008 by old_user442168 Post: @MikeMarsUK: Thanks for the links, I already know them except of the linux version. I have SUSE 10.3 I can even start memtest at startup: http://bp2.blogger.com/_VN8zHqq8Ns8/ReRkagjSZ5I/AAAAAAAAAD0/4I-5y-gesnc/s1600/103grubcr2.png But in Win Xp, which I had before, the Computer didn\'t produce so much errors. I don\'t think something is wrong with the computer. I think I did something wrong with the installation of BOINC. I don\'t know what I am going to do next... BTW: The graph of the new model after the crash also doesn\'t show. One more thing: BOINC is showing: hadsm3fub_028m_005919313_3 using hadsm3 version 504 Resuming CPDN! Resuming CPDN! Resuming CPDN!

9) Questions and Answers : Windows : model crashed, from which point shall I restore backup? (Message 32123) Posted 10 Jan 2008 by old_user442168 Post: Update: Good news: The hadsm-model works again ->http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/result.php?resultid=7041767. Bad news: The other model an hadcm, which was running on linux just crashed ->http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/result.php?resultid=7117962. Can someone tell me, why the stderr out message is so long? I already had the feeling that something is going wrong with the linux-BOINC-model because the graphic didn\'t show and the data looks weird (esp the ocean temp). Shall I restore the backup from 6 Jan, unfortunatelly that\'s the last backup I made. Or should I better reinstall BOINC and start a new model (and hope that everything works fine)?
10) Questions and Answers : Windows : model crashed, from which point shall I restore backup? (Message 32097) Posted 9 Jan 2008 by old_user442168 Post: Small Report: When I restored the backup from 1h before the crash happened the model crashed immediatelly again. Then I restored the backup from the day before the crash (~2h computing time before crash happened). ItÃ‚Â´s running now. We will see what is going to happen to the model :D I will report later.
11) Questions and Answers : Windows : model crashed, from which point shall I restore backup? (Message 32038) Posted 6 Jan 2008 by old_user442168 Post: OK, I will do so, after the computer finishes the current task (http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/result.php?resultid=7078423). I have already clicked on \"no new tasks\".

13) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : no graphics (Message 31887) Posted 26 Dec 2007 by old_user442168 Post: simply open the terminal and type: xhost +local: Mikey I have the exact same problem. The graphics showed up earlier but then suddenly disappeared for some reason. I\'m new to linux. When I type this in my terminal it tells me: xhost: bad hostname \"local\" I think I have to insert my host name in the command line. I tried my computer name: tir0@tir0s-linux-pc:~> xhost +tir0s-linux-pc tir0s-linux-pc being added to access control list But nothing has happened, the graphic still doesn\'t appear.

The reason why the 1600+ has 4 models in the list is because I had some troubles getting BOINC to run. It only has one model running now. I will reset the bad model and start a HADCM. Now I know that I have to look after my models.
16) Message boards : Number crunching : Iceworlds & Slowdowns hadsm3/mh - Closed - Discussion (Message 31751) Posted 16 Dec 2007 by old_user442168 Post: The HADCM is not in the list anymore, only the HADSM, and I havenÃ‚Â´t got any backups. So, it doesnÃ‚Â´t metter if I click abort or reset. Or is it possible to continue the HADCM without having a backup?

18) Message boards : Number crunching : Iceworlds & Slowdowns hadsm3/mh - Closed - Discussion (Message 31737) Posted 16 Dec 2007 by old_user442168 Post: Ok not so good news for me. How can I abort the model so that the credits wonÃ‚Â´t be deleted? When I abort the model in the tasks-window it says I wonÃ‚Â´t get credit for it! Shall I click \"reset project\" in the projects-window? Or shall I click \"no new tasks\" and wait until it stops and then \"reset project\"?
