1) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : Linux Sulphur 4.23 Unstable (Message 20745) Posted 25 Feb 2006 by old_user98947 Post: They are indeed, totally separate projects, with totally separate listings for credits on stats sites. Thanks for the info Les, good thing I\'m not it it for huge credit scores then:-) (Never going to happen with an Athlon XP 3200 & an XP 2600 anyway!) Chris
2) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : Linux Sulphur 4.23 Unstable (Message 20657) Posted 23 Feb 2006 by old_user98947 Post: cjrt If you\'re a multi-project person, the way to run the BBC project is to use a normal 5.2.13 version of BOINC and just attach to the BBC project, the same as any other. Yes, that\'s what I did, but I\'ve still ended up with one (windows) system running cpdn and one (linux) system attached to the bbc.cpdn.org website- they appear to me to be running as totally separate projects, though both under boinc. Did I do it wrong? Chris
3) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : Linux Sulphur 4.23 Unstable (Message 20489) Posted 19 Feb 2006 by old_user98947 Post: You could always set CPDN to get no new work and connect to the BBC coupled model project (http://bbc.cpdn.org) instead. Incidentally, as far as I can see the BBC one, which starts at 1920, is in fact the beginning of the new whizzy exciting next-gen experiment 2 which various people have been working their systems so hard doing the spin-up for- it\'s not a cut down super-stable cpdn as I have seen suggested in 1 or 2 threads (not this one), it\'s the future, man! (Please, if I\'m wrong about this someone let me know). As I have 1 windows box on normal cpdn and one linux one now on bbc.cpdn, they\'re technically on 2 different projects which offends my tidy mind, but at least they\'re both working now! Chris
4) Questions and Answers : Windows : Installing Boinc 5.2.2 get \'can\'t find BOINC.msi\' (Message 16782) Posted 26 Oct 2005 by old_user98947 Post: Using Win2k SR-4 (on Athlon XP3200), trying to install 5.2.2 it starts the install then partway through says it can\'t find BOINC.msi and asks me to tell it where it is. It creates a large (6391kB) .msi file with a name like 3547a6.msi in my temp directory, but if I try to use this instead (even if I rename it to BOINC.msi) the installer says it\'s not a valid installation file. Could this be because my temp directory (and indeed my home directory ) is on a second partition called u:? The installer should be able to cope- but can it? EDIT: I don\'t think it\'s to do with the temp directory because I tried it again in the \'administrator\'account which is totally standard and got the same problem. And the md5 checksum on the .exe file I downloaded was correct so it\'s not corrupt. Anyone have any ideas? BTW, if already crunching a model using 4.45, if I install 5.2.2 will it continue with the same model? Or would I have to wait for this one to finish? (I have a backup of the whole 4.45 Boinc directory from before I started trying to upgrade- If it trashed the model I was planning to uninstall and roll back...) Chris
