No but you can set up a profile to only allow certain projects to run on the PC. The fastest WUs are FAAH and next would be UGM and MCM. OET and CEP take >6 hours and use more memory.

Also set the buffer size to 0.

I was looking at limiting this PC to use only FAAH but couldn't find the option. Can you help in that respect? Currently I am aborting longer tasks manually until i get the FAAH

Edit: Nvm found out that i have to do it over WCG and not the boinc manager

Noooooo

Select projects under My Projects on WCG's site.

Also, you can look under Processor Usage and Network Usage, under Tools >Computer Preferences. There you can select times that the CPU will crunch and the times that you'll download and upload... might help..


And I just realized you figured out the first part

Yeah the thing is I want this only for particular computers but i figured out there are profiles My home PC is running 24/7, 5 tasks and i dont care what. But at work, uni, my laptops i want only fast things to ran so that I am sure it will be done by the time i am done working at that particular PC since I am not sure when I will be using them next and the tasks may expire till next use. Ideally I would like to set up a USB that can be plugged in any PC that I have admin rights to, run tasks, save the progress, remove usb, plug in into next pc and continue where the other pc has left off.

Also in the manager you can set all kinds of cool things like A start time and stop time to run each day and also which days of the week you want the rig to crunch. Example being you can set the rig to only crunch between lets say 8pm and 5am Monday thru Friday.

I have done that but I assume that is when it stops crunching and it doesn't take into account that a task wont be finished by then.

Edit: I might be wrong as it seems it stopped fetching new tasks 1 hour early... either that or it's a different time zone

 

[ThE_MaD_ShOt]

It will just pause the work unit until next start time. It just suspends the manager.

K guys, living situation got worse.

Now I'm expected to pay $10/week for electrical and $15/week for wifi which will probably be limited. For me to work at Labor Ready I'd have to leave the house at 4am every day just to get a CHANCE to work for the day.

I'm on full depression/anxiety-fulled job search mode. I'm one p!ssed off dragon.

If you guys know anything like job search tips or interview tips, please do let me know because I messed up my last one, and I'd rather not mess up again.

This and you can also setup times where the system will pause crunching. Another thing to remember is that most work units have a 10 day deadline...., which is plenty with the right size buffers

95% of the cases that is true. Today however i had to suspend 4 tasks at ~90-95% and the next time I will use that particular PC is 6th of March while they expire the 5th i think Not a big deal but if I could continue them on the PC I am working at now it would be great

 

[krusha03]

Huh it seems my bionic portable is working. I lost 10% for some reason but who cares the task continued working on my ULV celeron

Hey, hey guys, guess what.


I have wifi for a week. Guess what that means.


CRUNCHING TIME.
though I can only do it for a week due to, I basically still have no money. I was able to get it for a week but geez, $55 for a month is just above my budget.

Hi everyone.

My mother passed away yesterday afternoon about 12:30 Pacific time.

I will miss her very dearly as she has always been a big part in my life as my pop passed away many many years ago when I was 11 years old. She was pretty much the mom and dad. Dang, it is tough to deal with at this time and I am pretty depressed today. I think being here at her apartment is kind of causing some of the depression. It wasn't too bad last night, but I think it is finally setting in today.

She passed very peaceful in an amazing hospice center.

I want to thank the Nathan Aldelson Hospice Center for an amazing job of keeping her comfortable and doing all that they could. The nurses, doctors, and staff were so amazing with her and me while I was there by her side. She is in a better place now. She had very bad crippling arthritis for many years and suffered a lot of pain due to the arthritis. Now she is peaceful, so I thank the lord for that.

Sorry for going on everyone, I just needed to vent a bit.

Well everyone, I just received the official Nevada state certificate of death today.............Man, it hit me hard when I opened it up and read it......

I guess it was kind of like a slap in the face. Huge reminder I suppose.

Sorry but I just needed to vent a bit..........Everyone has just been so helpful with all the kind words, wishes, and prayers and I want to thank all from my heart for everything!
Thanks team!!!!

OK, So, The P4 Cruncher was on a back shelf until I decided to Google lost password. Boom, a few minutes later she was running. However, I couldn't get BOINC to get any new jobs...Decided to open up WCG, was gonna re-attach and BAM! Boinc started reloading jobs!!

So, P4 is now Crunching!!!!!!!!!!!!! One down, 3 to go!!

I am still having issues with This 'Ole Comp. I am still trying to figure out how to Open a new created "executable" (BOINC Manager) in Linux Mint Lisa 12.

I am not sure what application to use to start it!

Written on an emachine with a P4 @ 1.8 GHz!!

I think I may try to get Karen up and running next. I got a series of continuous beeps and no post last time I tried to boot her. May have something to do with the extra HDD I attached from a different XP machine. We'll see. I hope it was not a Death Toll!!

I have been away for a bit, just now heard about this. I lost my Mother in 2000, the last of my parents, it was hard. Best course for me, Let the emotions flow. Don't hold on to them and let them build up. No one will think less of you for it. It may seem embarrassing but, it is not. The only people that will make it a big deal are not the people that care about you. Remember that when it all blows over, they are not your real friends.

Best of Luck to you and I hope you can come out the other side intact! I am with you 100% and if you need someone to vent at, feel free to fill up my inbox!! I cannot promise a speedy response but, often, none is really needed. However, I will read and advise, as i can, if you want( my work schedule is ludicrously effed up since the boss hurt his back!).

Did you install it with the package manager, or with a download from the BOINC website? I may assume the latter?

My grandmother passed away February 12th, 2014. Earlier this month when it was getting close to the anniversary of that date, I was barely holding it together, but if you asked my wife she'd have said I was weird all week long. Then on the 12th of this month, I lost what remaining composure I had.

There will be times when you're reminded more than you want to be. Just try to focus on the good things about her, and how she's doing better now, and maybe that might make things a little easier. That, and resting on the comforts of friends and family.

 

[Arjai]

Did you install it with the package manager, or with a download from the BOINC website? I may assume the latter?

downloaded the .sh with package manager. copied to desktop the used terminal to make it an executable. Now I go to the BOINC Manager file and it asks for what application to use to open it. I don't know what to use.

Also, Karen, on XP, does not recognize the USB as an Ethernet connection to my Hotspot. I tried to use a couple of different windows network settings to connect to my lappytop, Win8.1, to no avail. I cannot, for the life of me, find my USB wireless adapter, either!!

On that note, does anybody have a Win 7 key they can give me? I would like to upgrade Karen, before trying to get Ubuntu as a dual load. XP is too ancient to handle what I want.

 

[Peter1986C]

So you did not use the package manger but an .sh file. OK, but avoiding the .sh files may have been better. The Software Center/Synaptic or whatever it is called on Mint is usually more convenient.

The manager executable you wanted to open (but could not) must be marked as executable in its properties (this is a security thing).

Looking for a volunteer to do the Daily Numbers post- looks like Ion is tied up with school and hasn't been online in awhile.

Anyone interested?

I can take over again, if needed. The news thingy is kinda slow!

It is. Now I need to open it!!

What application do I use!!

@xvi was doing it for a while and did a great job, maybe he'd be interested. Just throwing that out there.

Perhaps there should be a more "permanent" choice/designation also, not this sort of floppy flop that's been happening recently.

Edit: @Arjai too was very good and dedicated. Either would be good
