BOINC / SETI@home Problem with idle-Mode

Hello,
I installed Boinc and connected to the seti@home project.
I tried both, the local preferences in boinc-manager and the online-preferences for boinc and seti@home. I told the client to start working after the pc has been idle for 3 minutes and to stop working when the pc is in use (keyboard or mouse movement).
Unfortunately it does not work. Boinc waits for 3minutes before it starts working, but it doesn't stop when I use keyboard or mouse...
Any suggestions are most welcome!
thx

The Boinc client is only set up for stopping if the non-Boinc processes throw the processor more than 25%.
Are you using boinc or boinc-nox? I'm using boinc-nox because I don't really need the graphics. This might be a solution if you aren't using it. The problem I'm having and it might actually be my broad-failure card, but it might also be a race condition with my boinc.

[Solved] BOINC (Seti@Home) Problem :(

Hi guys,
I have installed Boinc with the intention of running the Seti project on it.
However there's where my luck ran out. I can't seem to do anything with it no matter what I try.
I installed Boinc as per:
pacman -Sy boinc
This went off without a hitch so I then add my user to the "boinc" group.
However when i run boinc_gui the interface pops up but It says
"(X) Error" above "retrieve current status"
I can't click "add project" or "attach to manager" or anything,
I'm sure its something obvious I'm missing but Ive looked all over the net and messed about
with a lot of permissions and so on. I'm lost!
Any thoughts?

[ZM] Problem with idle shutdown.(or idle tim

My zen micro's current firmware is ..0
I found this problem months ago, but didn't try to figure it out.
There is centainly problem with idle shutdown timer.
I guess the IDLE SHUTDOWN TIMER SHOULD NOT RUN IF THE PLAYER IS PLAYING.
Idle = player is on, but not playing or not performing any task.
My current setting is
Idle timer = 5 min
Sleep timer = 45 min
This problem occurs,
When the player is turning on from deep sleep mode (after 4 hrs of stand-by mode)
I left my player playing mp3 after turning on.
And eventually the player shuts down itself after about 5 min (which is setted as idle timer)
So I checked the screen when the player shut down itself, and the screen was displaying 'Idle Shutdown'
Once the player shut down, it will not shut down again after turing on.
Summary,
. Turn on player after deep sleep mode(4hr)
2. leave player as playing music
3. after time amount of idle timer, it shuts down itself.
4. the screen displays 'idle shutdown' when it shuts down itself.
anyone noticing this problem?

Jason-CL wrote:mcramen,I tested by taking the battery out(this will simulate as a deep sleep), and also turning on and off the player a few times without taking the batttery out with the same setting. The player are still playing now.Jason
Jason, there is a critical difference your test missed: He turned his player off, let it go into "deep sleep" after 4 hours, then turned it back on and left it playing; it then went into "idle shutdown" after 5 minutes. This can only happen with 4-hour-standby firmwares (..02, 2.20.05, and the deprecated .0.02) turned off while playing, which then go into "deep sleep" after 4 hours; if you "simulate" it by resetting, it won't start playing when you turn it back on. And if you press any button, "idle shutdown" will work normally and the bug won't occur. (Older firmwares will lose your place when entering "deep sleep" after 24 hours, so they won't exhibit the problem.)
Sounds like a firmware bug where it fails to recognize that a player turned on from "deep sleep" doesn't need a button punched to be playing. Get ready for .2 and possibly 2.2 firmwares, maybe?
In the meantime, the workaround would be to press any button (menu, pause/unpause, anything) if it's playing when turning on from "deep sleep". (Much like the previous post, but I suspect any button other than the power switch will work, not just pause. But I could be wrong.)Message Edited by RBBrittain on 0-9-2005 02:4 PM

Problem with Append mode in File Receiver

Hello,
I am facing some problem with Append Mode in File Receiver.
In channel config, i have given :
Construction Mode : Append
File Type : Text
Message Protocol : File Content Conversion
The size of the file which i am trying to send is about 9.5MB.
I got this error,
"Recovering from loss of connection to database; message
loaded into queue by recover job: System Job (Failover Recovery)".
So, it would seem that there was a loss of connnection to the database
while the file was being written.
Note - XI successfully recovered from the connection loss and
successfully wrote the file, however since the communication channel
was set to append, it appended to the partial file that was written
before the database connection loss. This is not correct. The file
should have been overwritten after the recovery even though the communication
channel was configured to append.
Can anyone help me on this regard.
Thanks,
Soorya.

Hi Venkat,
I would suggest u to split the file in to chunks if u face any problem in processing at a time in append mode and also
Memory Requirements are must 4 processing huge files:
Q: Which memory requirements does the File Adapter have? Is there a restriction on the maximum file size it can process?
A: The maximum file size that can be processed by the File Adapter depends on a number of factors:
o The most important one is the size of the Java heap, which is shared among all messages processed at a certain point in time. In order to be able to process larger messages without an out of memory error (OOM), it is recommended to increase the size of the available Java heap and/or to reduce the concurrency in the system so that fewer messages are processed in parallel.
o Another factor negatively influencing the maximum message size in releases up to and including XI 3.0 SP 13 is an enabled charcter set (encoding) conversion if the message type is set to "Text".
o Using the transport protocol "File Transfer Protocol (FTP)" also uses more memory for processing than the transport protocol "File System (NFS)" (up to and including XI 3.0 SP 13).
o If the Message Protocol "File Content Conversion" is used in a File Sender channel, consider that not only the size of the input file affects the File Adapter's memory usage, but even more the size of the XML resulting from the conversion, which is usually a few factors larger than the original plain text file.
To reduce the memory consumption in this scenario, consider configuring the setting "Maximum Recordsets per Message" for the sender channel. This will cause the input file to be split into multiple smaller mesages.
Plz do refer the following links:
U may plan the availability of ur communication channel using "Planning Availability Times" feature

Problem with Fullscreen mode

Hello. I have problem with Fullscreen mode in Pages 09. Let me explain it. I launch Pages 09 on space nr 4, than i activate fullscreen mode and now when fullscreen is active i switch for example to space nr 2. And what happens? Pages also moves to space nr 2, but i don't want to move my pages to space nr 2. I guess it is a bug in Pages 09. Thank you for your advice.

Hi There
By the sounds of this behaviour you haven't set any space options for Pages within System Preferences (Expose and Spaces Pane). After experimenting with different options this is what I experience:
1. Pages not listed in application assignment in spaces Preferences - Enter full screen in pages, switch from one space to another pages window will follow and exit fullscreen (this sounds like what you are experiencing).
2. Pages set to every space in app assignment - Enter full screen in pages, switch from one space to another and pages will follow but wont exit full screen.
3. Pages set to a single space in app assignment - Enter full screen in pages, switch from one space to another using control and arrow keys pages will pull me back into the space it is set to and will exit fullscreen. Using the control and number keys pages will stay in its set space but upon returning to that space pages had exited fullscreen.
I suggest you add pages to the the spaces application assignment in System Preferences by clicking the plus arrow under the list of apps and select a specific space for pages to open in, once open Pages will only move from this space if you move it manually.
You can send your feedback to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/pages.html if you wish
Hope this helps

Problem with passive mode FTP server and NAT

Hi,
I have a problem with Passive mode FTP and NAT.
I am trying to run both an FTP server and sharing the Internet connection via NAT. I have by the way specified the passive ports to use in ftpaccess (65000-65534). Everything works fine until someone tries to connect via Passive mode. I have tracked the problem down to the firewall and the rule that handles NAT.
Firewall rule config without NAT:
00001 allow udp from any 626 to any dst-port 626
01000 allow ip from any to any via lo0
12300 allow ip from any to any
65535 allow ip from any to any
Firewall rule config with NAT
00001 allow udp from any 626 to any dst-port 626
00010 divert 8668 ip from any to any via en1
01000 allow ip from any to any via lo0
12300 allow ip from any to any
65535 allow ip from any to any
So, passive ports do not work when NAT is on. If I turn it off, Passive ftp works like a charm.
But how do I solve my problem? I have in my quest for the answer stumbled upon "-punch_fw" but do not know how to use it or if it even helps me at all?
Best regards,
Peter

BOINC Seti@Home Core Duo Show Graphics Computation Error

I'm running BOINC, Seti@Home, on both my PowerBook and Core Duo 20-inch iMac. When I highlight a work unit and click on "Show Graphics" the PowerBook brings up the graphics just fine. On the iMac Core Duo when I click on "Show Graphics" the work unit aborts and shows a computation error.
Does anyone else see this difference and is there a fix?
imac Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.5)

When I click on the work unit, the "show graphics" remains dim. Mine is set to run only after five minutes of inactivity.
The computation error may be due to the Rosetta translation. Maybe will see a universal version soon.

Open current iTunes on your computer. Connect iPhone to the computer with the Lightning USB Cable. Hold both the Home and Power buttons for about 20 seconds until iTunes recognizes the iPhone in Recovery Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes. If still problem, make Genius reservation or set up Sevice and take or send to Apple for resolution under Warranty.

Temperature - BOINC - SETI@Home - MBP 17"

Hello!
Is 91 degrees Celsius a safe continuous temperature for the 2.5 GHz Core i7-2860QM CPU in my late 2011 Macbook Pro 17"? Will that continuous temperature reduce the life span of the CPU or logic board components?
I would like to run SETI@Home / BOINC on my laptop for many hours at a time, and for many days in a row when the laptop isn't being used. BOINC by default uses 100% of the CPU in order to crunch science data. I can adjust the settings to cause BOINC to use less of the CPU, but I'm trying to not be over-reactive to temperature readings that may be perfectly safe, even for extended periods of time, and on a regular basis. Please note, the 91 degree temperature is with an external notebook cooling fan assisting in the cooling. The unassisted temperature would be much higher.
I've also included the temperature readings from iStat Pro temperature monitoring application to diversify the data. Please note, the data listed in the categories "CPU A Temperature Diode" from "Hardware Monitor" and "CPU" from "iStat Pro" seems to be identical. The application "Temperature Monitor" gave me the same readings as "Hardware Monitor," and so is not listed.
Temperatures with CPU at 100% Usage:
Hardware Monitor:
CPU A Temperature Diode     : 91 degrees Celsius
CPU A Proximity                   : 81 degrees Celsius
iStat Pro:
CPU                                     : 91 degrees Celsius
CPU Heatsink                       : 54 degrees Celsius
Temperatures with CPU at 20% Usage:
Hardware Monitor:
CPU A Temperature Diode     : 71 degrees Celsius
CPU A Proximity                   : 67 degrees Celsius
iStat Pro:
CPU                                     : 71 degrees Celsius
CPU Heatsink                       : 52 degrees Celsius
(Note: The BOINC application is likely also utilizing the computers Graphics Processing Unit, and adding to the CPU temperature readout as a result since both processing units are supposedly using the same heat pipes to stay cool).
Any comments, suggestions, or questions to help produce an answer are welcome and much appreciated!

I like your style .
I, also, just installed boinc last night to help save the world with my computer while I sleep. I'm about to go do that right now-- yes it is 9 am here-- but I figured I'd make sure my computers don't melt before I do so.
Right now my MacBookPro5,2 duder is running at 68° C according to smcFanControl-- it should be noted that I find the sound of the fans soothing- especially in this case because it reminds me that I'm helping compute data that will be used to understand global warming, explore the causes of protein malfunctions to prevent diseases and generate models of cognitive processes. That should be someone's sales pitch. I have fans set to 6000rpm (the maximum safe fan speed from what I understand)
Whatever.
I'm tired.
my BOINC settings are:
-Computing allowed while computer is in use
-Use gpu while computer is in use only after the computer has been idle for 3 minutes and only while processor usage is less than 30 percent.
-Switch between Applications every 20 minutes
-use at most 50% of CPU time**
--Use at most 10 gigs of disk space
--use at most 75% of page file (swap space)
--Use at most 20% of memory when computer is in use
--Use at most 75% of memory when computer is idle.
--leave applications in memory while suspended.
---My energy saver prefs are set for better performance,
---the computer is set to go to sleep never
---display goes to sleep after 3 minutes
----In terminal I set my computer to go to sleep after 4 hours of processing:
$ sudo shutdown -s +240
I'll report back when I wake up and let you know if my computer burned my building down.
I'm not too worried about it.
Anyone else running boinc or something similar if you could please post your settings/stats/temperature results, it'd be much appreciated.

Mobile Home problem with Magic Triangle

So I have been setting up a magic triangle for the past few days with an OSX Lion server. I believe it is working properly. The server is running OD and is bound to my AD. I have made an OD group which contains my AD users, and I have set that OD group to have limited application preferences (one of them is to block the App store). All my users have MacBook Airs which they will take off-site, so I enabled mobile home folders in the AD bind and in the OD group mobility settings (with confirmation required).
When I tested it today, with Airs running 10.7.4, here is what happened.
When the system was on the network, it would log a user in, ask to create the mobile account, and successfully create it. Once logged in they were limited to the application preferences that I set on the server. I considered this a complete success.
When I disconnected them from the network, I had expected that they would still be able to log in and the system would fuction the same way with the exception that they would not sync their changes until they were back on-site.
Instead...
When the same user trys to log in it says the AD server is unavailable and then logs them in anyway. However, once they are at the desktop, none of the permissions are in place. They can go to the app store, or do anything else they feel like. Once they are back on the network, all the server based preferences reappear and lock the system down.
So my questions are:
1. Should a mobile account based system compain that it cant find the AD domain when offsite?
2. Why is it not checking some cached verison of the permissions and locking down the notebook when offsite? I can tell that it is caching the user name and password (as loging in as a user the air has never seen before will simply give a login error), as it will let them in, but it is not holding any preferences.
3. How can I prevent users from simply disconnecitng from the network to bypass all my server based policies?
Hope someone can help

Hi,
I'm having a similar problem with exactly the same setup, our clients are 10.7.4 wired not wireless the OD server is 10.7.4 and the clients are authenticating via an AD 2008 R2 domain.
We've had this scenario in the past running 10.5 and 10.6 without any problems but with 10.7.4 the clients' MCX settings are lost when they're not connected to our network. It seems to only lose the settings applied to user groups but not computer groups.
At this moment in time I don't have an aswer I'm still looking, have you found a solution?
I know configuration profiles are the way forward and in the future I'll move over to them but they don't seem to work that well with PHD's at the moment.
If anyone has any thought on this it would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Jay.

Problem with "find" mode in adf/swing application

Hi all,
I'm working on ADF Swing application which uses MS SQL Server 2005 (JDeveloper 10g 10.1.3)
I think that my issue might be well-known…sorry if it has been already discussed somewhere else…
I have a problem with the “find” mode for a detail panel in a master-detail form…(To make it clear the “find” mode is switched on when clicking on the special button on a navigation panel).
So this mode works well in a master panel, but it demonstrates strange behavior on a detail panel, i.e. it takes me two attempts to find the necessary child object and it doesn’t switch back in a simple way from this mode to the normal mode….say if we are in the department 10 (Dept is a master form) we can’t simply find KING employee (Emp is a detail form)…is there any workaround for this?
Thanks in advance. Alex.

Hi Frank, please look this issue

Problem with sleep mode in Win 7

Hello Friends,
I have a great problem after Windows 7 updated itself. I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L505D. When I close the lid, it should automatically go to the sleep mode. Unfortunately, only the screen is black and the laptop is still running, I have to shut it down then switch on again. Is it a problem with the 'battery driver'?Please, help me :)

Before you continue to wait for solution and waste your time back-up all your important data and reinstall OS again using HDD recovery installation - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm
After doing this you will have clean preinstalled and well working OS again.
The first thing you should do after OS installation is to disable automatic Windows update. Do it manually and install important updates only.

Problems with landscape mode

Hi,
I've a problem with my iPhone 3G. In apps like notes, sms or even ipod, it doesn't rotate in landscape mode. But in "not apple apps" the accelerometer is working. I've tested it with Labyrinth LE.
After restoring the device it doesn't rotate too.

I have the same problem.
Apple apps (Mail, Safari, Calculator) don't rotate at all (portrait only). They were rotating correctly before.
3rd party apps (Labyrinth, BubbleLevel, Accelerometer Graph) can rotate to portrait and landscape correctly, so this shouldn't be a hardware problem.
Maybe caused by OS update?
