Methinks, Agent00Skid could give ION some competition. Based on the Allprojectstats.com site.

Not so sure I am correctly reading the daily stats number correctly, why is Agent00Skid NOT on the pie chart?

All these stat thingies...sometimes I hate stats. Sometimes. Like this morning, when I should be doing something other than trolling around here!!

Nah. I'm running POEM@home as well, and that's where all my points go.

Along with my very own POEM pie.

So I bought a 32gb usb 3.0 drive. It says it will have 150mb/s read and about 50 write. Actually kinda cheap if it gets those speeds. Should arrive later today. I am going to play with a Ubuntu/mint install on there with WCG. Maybe a bit more.

TRWOV · Aug 27, 2013

Brought down one of the 8350s yesterday. I'm gonna have some expenses soon so I'll need a little more money than usual.

I'll try to "host" it at work

Curiouser and curiouser...so I left the AMD 4P running Ubuntu with BOINC suspended, and it ran fine. I re-enabled WCG, expecting tha tit would have crashed by the time I got back from class. Not so. It's still going. WU times are highly variable (running SN2S exclusively for now, and time/WU is anywhere from 40 minutes to 1hr 30 minutes) but it hasn't locked up. I'll see what it does over night... :eek:

Are you problems related to power management? I shut all power management options off on all my desktop rigs. No sleep modes no nothing and I manually turn monitors off.

Norton · Aug 28, 2013

Sorry guys I fell asleep early last night :eek:

Will get the Stones and Pie posts out later today or will combine them on tonights post...

@Ion- you pulled over 7k yesterday on the 4P, not bad for just starting out! :cool:

Nah, it's all turned off. This time the 4P setup made it until about 5AM before it locked up. I'll see what it does today, but if it locks up again, I'm going to reinstall on another disk to see what that does.

I was able to run Memtest on the Opty setup for about two and a half hours without issues, so at least it doesn't lock up doing that. I've suspended BOINC cry and it's just running Ubuntu now; I'll see what is/isn't happening after class. The memory checked out fine. Now that WCG isn't running I'm no longer getting graphical artifacts--I hope that WCG isn't messing with anything. I suppose that I can try reinstalling on another HDD if this works, but otherwise I don't have a lot of ideas for what to try...

I assume that the KIev machine has multiple IMCs/NBs, so make sure you run Ubuntu server. Or if you have the time/skills, install Gentoo and configure the kernel for NUMA setups (there may be other requirements, but I lack the knowledge/skill to give all the requirements for running Linux on that rig).

[Ion] · Aug 28, 2013

Yes, Kiev is the 4 CPU Opteron system. I didn't know that I would need Ubuntu Server--I'll give that a shot.

Thanks! :toast:

hat · Aug 28, 2013

Bahahaha... install Gentoo! I wonder how many people know why I'm laughing.

Anyways I stabilized the Q6600 at 3.6. Temps are 68C while crunching right now, and 73c during prime95. These temps are a little high for a Q6600 though... I might scale back to 3.2, it was a bit more manageable there.

Jstn7477 · Aug 28, 2013

I had Gentoo auto-installed on a VPS once, and I broke it in less than an hour. I somehow managed to break the network connectivity using emerge to update the install, and I could only VNC into it (it was a Xen virtualized install). Got rid of it for Debian and no problems since.

[Ion] · Aug 28, 2013

I've installed Ubuntu Server on the AMD 4P setup with the Xubuntu desktop interface. So far, it's doing OK. I'll see how it goes as time progresses :toast:

ThE_MaD_ShOt · Aug 28, 2013

My i7 is now under Ubuntu. Al the wu's finished under win7 today so I swapped in the Ubuntu drive I setup for it and logged into boinc. All is going good.

My Ubuntu rig isn't reporting automatically :wtf:

IS there a setting I missed or any way of adding in a cc_config file so I can have it report results immediately? I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS atm.

@ Ion is you're still having issues, try this Linux install guide for F@H over at [H]*:
http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1601608

* This is how F150's 4P was setup and I believe that Buck Nasty used the same guide and if it works for F@H it will work for WCG.

I was actually going to ask if anyone has figured out how to make the Linux version update automatically. I know with my previous Ubuntu rigs that they almost seemed to learn to do a finale update around 7pm after I manually dumped them for several days at that time. Maybe this weekend I will dig into it and see if I can find what to change.

Also I am running 13.04 and I just ran a base install and only installed Chrome and Boinc.

Jstn7477 · Aug 29, 2013

Some plumbing company my neighbor hired cut my FiOS line this morning, so I'm tethering my desktop through an ancient Vista laptop's Ethernet and a wireless connection to my 4G LTE smartphone for internet atm. :banghead:

[Ion] · Aug 29, 2013

lol

I've noticed that my AMD 4P setup is erroring on WUs--not a lot, but maybe 1 of 15 or thereabouts. Time/WU is also highly variable--looking at the completed ones ATM, it's anywhere from 33 minutes to 1hr58 minutes (SN2S only). But it has been running for nearly 12 hours at this point with no hard lockups, so I'll take what I can get.

[Ion] · Aug 29, 2013

Well, the 4P still locked up over night, even with the Ubuntu Server install on the new SSD--it got about 17 hours before going bad. I'm going to try disabling BOINC and then leaving it for a day to see what happens then.

t_ski · Aug 29, 2013

What are these disk space errors about? I have over 90GB free on the drive with the programdata folder on it and almost 120GB on the OS/Program Files drive. I increased my disk space usage from 10GB to 20GB and clicked "do network communication" but the messages are still there.

Disable SATA hotplugging and SATA link power management in the BIOS. Else SSDs tend to act funnily (at least mine).

Mine were set to the defaults, which were far more limiting. I changed from 10GB to 20GB, then closed and reopened the clietn and they seem to have gone away. Just seems weird that I got them all of a sudden when I've been doing this for almost a year.

brandonwh64 · Aug 29, 2013

I just installed my H50 on my I7-920 today and it has dropped temps by about 8 degrees from the evercool transformer 4. I am going to leave it stock for tonight to let it break in and see what it will do at 3.8Ghz tomorrow
