Hello! Something is wrong with me BOINC 4.13 and S@H 4.02 It downloads a file, starts computations and a few seconds later says "finished", uploads amd tries to get next sample ("there is no work.." message from server; client waits for 1 minute and then downloads next sample). Each computation takes about 10 - 20 seconds. S@H server doesn't count results (I thinks results are bad or "empty"). What can be wrong? I'm runnig on MandrakeLinux 10.0, 2.6.3-4mdk kernel. I tried to start Boinc as dedicated user 'boinc' and as root... same problem. How can I fix this? |

Your result files surely look suspicious. There's something going wrong: SETI@home error -11 Unknown error FPU failure in pulse_find File: pulsefind.cpp Line: 314 You might try downloading a boinc client from "http://boinc.us.tt/". The link isn't working ATM since "home.arcor.de" seems to be down, but I guess they'll get their act together sooner or later. P.S: If you mail me at hjdorn@freenet.de", I could mail one of my clients over to you. Regards Hans |

Thanks for answering my question! I'm running same version of software (downloaded from official Setiweb page) on my mobile PII machine, and everything is working fine (same version of Linux and kernel). Now I'm wondering why (as shown on my result page) software cannot? detect amount of RAM on my Celeron machine? Maybe there is a hardware / incompatibility problem, or I need some packets / files wchich are not installed on this computer? Thans again, Regards, Lukas |

Are you overclocking this system? If so, slow it back down. |

PC #4 says "Memory -0 MB" on the PC status page. I don't know if that's related to the error but it seems strange. |

> Are you overclocking this system? If so, slow it back down. > Thanks for suggestion :) My computer is now working at normal speed (was: Celeron-366@457 now is 366@366) - amout of memory is "almost" real - says 250 :) (true: 256) but still nothing: error -11 (unknown error). Any other idea? |

> PC #4 says "Memory -0 MB" on the PC status page. Thanks! Yes, it was ?because? system was overclocked - from 66,6MHz to ~83MHz (was fine and never stopped working or restarted, etc.) Now memory is detected OK but client is still reporting bad results. What else can be wrong? Any idea? |
