[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?

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
cl10k

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.

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.

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.

[Solved] Help Setting Samba Share In Qemu With XP Guest

Hello all,
After getting around all the quirks of setting an XP guest inside qemu, the only (though, pretty important) thing I can't solve is setting a samba share between the Arch host and the XP guest.
I tried whatever I could think of that's relevant, with no success:
Qemu is launched with:
qemu-system-x86_64 -machine type=pc,accel=kvm -cpu host -boot d -m 1024 -net user,smb={my home folder} -net nic,model=virtio -rtc base=localtime -drive file=XP.qcow2,if=virtio -spice port=5900,disable-ticketing,image-compression=off,jpeg-wan-compression=never,zlib-glz-wan-compression=never,playback-compression=off -vga qxl -global qxl-vga.vram_size=67108864 -device virtio-serial-pci -device virtserialport,chardev=spicechannel0,name=com.redhat.spice.0 -chardev spicevmc,id=spicechannel0,name=vdagent -balloon virtio
I installed samba, added a user, and started the service according to the wiki.
I allowed the samba ports in UFW (using the CIFS rule).
Whenever I try accessing the share inside my XP guest (\\10.0.2.4\qemu), I usually end up with a target not found error, or at times, a password prompt that will not accept the samba user/password.
Anything else I forgot to do?
Thanks, Adam.
* EDIT *
I somehow missed the section regarding the guest OS able to access the host OS normal samba shares at 10.0.2.2.
Default samba share for home folder works as expected.

Thanks.
I tried toying with the options a bit more, with no success.
I then decided to try Spice+QXL anyway, and am very happy with it.
Aside from the lengthy compilation of the Qemu version that supports Spice from the AUR, once I got it set up, installing the guest was a breeze.
Using the Spice guest tools for windows, everything was set up very conveniently (virtio for network, hdd, qxl driver, mouse integration etc.).
Responsiveness is much better comparing to previous attempts with "vga std", "vga cirrus" and normal adapter.
Bottom line, I'm sticking with Spice+QXL, seems to work best for me.

Seti@home and Mac OS X 10.4?

After I installed OS X 10.4, I started having problems with Seti@home software.
If I leave it on overnight, I often find the system locked up when I get up in the morning.
If I log off, disabling the Seti@home screen saver, the system will not lock up, or if I turn off Seti@home, the system will also not lock up.
The problem increased after I upgraded my ATA 66 card to an ATA 133 card so I could install a new larger 160 GB hard drive.
Has anyone else had this problem?

You should probalby post your question on the Seti Message Boards:

Brand new IPad 3 out of the box - set up problem with Apple ID

Brand new iPad 3 out of the box - set up problem. It says my Apple ID (email address) is already being used. I reset the password successfully but still says I need another Apple ID. Why won't the ID recornize me?

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.

Xgrid for SETI@home

Hi,
The SETI@home project uses the BOINC platform (Win, Mac, Linux), to analyse radio telescope data in the search for intelligent extra-terrestrial civilizations.
The project can be found at:
http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/
I want to know, if I had Xserve's or Mac's dedicated to this task... Would Xgrid be a good choice for the Mac?
Many Thanks

Well, I'll see it soon.
I crunch for 7 years and now bought 11 Macs and one Server - in few days I'll know

How can I set home page for a new tab? how can i get firefox to open the home page every time i open a new tab in Windows vista home basic??
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Firefox can have multiple home pages if you wish. Each home page that will open when starting Firefox is separated by the "|" character.
See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
To have new tabs open a specific web site, add one of the following extensions:

I have set home page, what option do I use to set new tabs to open as home page?

I have set home page default. What option do I use so that new tabs open as home page?

Oracle to Mysql character set conversion problem!!! PLZ IGNORE

Hi Experts,
I have created a database link from Oracle 10g to Mysql 5.
I have installed Oracle Gateway 11g for this purpose.
When i retreive the data from sql plus the text is displayed as question marks.
Oracle 10g Database character set is WE8MSWIN1252
Mysql character set --->latin1
Character set of ODBC connector for mysql is latin7
Character set in the parameter file of HS folder is WE8MSWIN1252When i retrieve data from sql developer the text is fine(as i think it directly takes the character set of target) but
when i login from sqlplus i get question marks!
I have another post in Heterogeneous Connectivity forum
Re: Oracle to Mysql character set conversion problem!!! PLZ HELP
Kindly update your comments there,

It is OK to post a globalization-related question in this forum in addition to the forum pertaining to the main technology. Not all experts follow all possible forums on OTN. Of course, you should cross-link the posts to let people merge the answers.
Regarding the problem itself, make sure that SQL*Plus has the right NLS_LANG setting in the environment. On Windows, in the Command Prompt:
C:\> set NLS_LANG=.WE8PC850
C:\> sqlplus ...On Unix:
$ setenv NLS_LANG .WE8ISO8859P1 (or NLS_LANG=.WE8ISO8859P1; export NLS_LANG)

An odd set of problems - full re-install fail

Hello helpful computer people
I have a funny set of problems which has culminated in me wanting to fully reinstall operating software. I will explain why I want to do this in a minute, but the main problem is that I can't manage to do it! When I boot up my mac from the startup disk I get a messed up display. The information is obviously all there on the screen, but it's displayed in weird jagged lines. This means that I can't make out where to click to continue with the installation. I also though that the disk drive was being particularly clunky sounding, but could be imagining that.
You can see what I mean here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/33449131@N02/7160853520/in/photostream
The problems up to this point have been really odd, with applications one by one stopping responding and finder crashing. Also the computer will sometimes not go to sleep when closed and the fan will go a bit mad. I have had particular problems with browsers crashing and generally the computer grinding to a halt with nothing but the off button having any effect.
I have tried loads of stff - reseting P ram, repairing disks, running cleanups on Onyx, removing programmes etc.
I want to go back to square one because things are getting a bit messy, it won't let me reinstall Safari becuase it thinks it's already there, but It doesn't show up on search!
I tried reinstalling Snow Leopard but realised that didn't really do much and am now going down the route of putting the original install disk in. I bought there computer second hand btw, so there is a possibility that the install disks are wrong, although unlikely because the guy was trustworthy.
Thanks in advance for all your help
Tim

Yep.
Just want to clear up the fact that the original problems encountered were not display related and it only happens when I try to do that one specific task. The computer is working ok now and I am writing this message from it.

Any way of finding out how Apple will solve the Aperture / ACR problem?

Has anyone out there gotten any comments from Apple support or other people "in the know" about how Apple is going to solve the Aperture / ACR problem, and any potential time frame?
Of course, Apple is going to work on problems with its own RAW conversion; that goes without saying. But does anyone have any knowledge of whether Apple is going to open up the ability for Apple to send RAW, unconverted images to Photoshop, so that ACR can handle them?
I think knowing this now is pretty crucial. I am willing to live with the pain Aperture is going to impose on my workflow, in exchange for the file organization benefits it provides, IF I know that I'll be able to use Aperture with ACR soon (near term). But if Apple is going to just tinker with the RAW converter, and not attempt to send RAW files to ACR, then as someone else posted in another topic, this could be a long wait, and other companies have taken years to hone their RAW converters.
This is kind of my last-ditch effort to keep Aperture around, and build my workflow around it. If I know that within a month or two at the most, I'll be able to be using ACR directly when editing new versions, then I'll absorb the pain until then. But if I am looking at waiting six months for it (several man years), or riding out the process of Apple trying to get their own converter fixed, then as much as I don't want to, Aperture is going to get returned or hit eBay.
Does anyone have any idea on this? I've held up my projects for the past week trying to reorganize my workflow to work with Aperture, and I've got to pound the gavel, make a decision, and pursue a direction. Knowing what direction Apple is going to take with this makes all the difference in the world in what I do.
Thanks in advance for any info you can pass on.

This "Open External Editor from Master NEF", versus open from a dynamicaly created version is, I have decided, crucial.
I am getting less clumsy with the interface, but I simply can not get all white balance, and noise reduction done on my best available light shots.
ACR in CS2, and a subsequent "Neat Image" scrubbing is excellent for this.
The automatic association within a stack, of the resulting flattened file would be a big difference. I agree a formal statement from Apple would make me more inclined to really commit to Aperture for all my work.
Going one step further, it would be nice to keep the layers on the round-trip Master file, even if you would work with a dynamicaly created version of the returned "master" within a stack. It would occupy more disk space, but would do so only for those images where the user has made a quality decision.
