I got the clients to work, the 64bit clients (the clients from these sites; http://www.lb.shuttle.de/apastron/boincDown.shtml; This one i get about 4500 MIPS on benchmark http://www.pperry.f2s.com/downloads.htm; This another one i get about 7500 MIPS On the original i686 client, i get about 2000 MIPS) but the 64bit clients dont' download new work units i tried both amd64 clients, and on both, i get this message " Message from server: platform 'x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu' not found" It looks like this platform is unknown The only client that seems to download the new work units, is the default i686 (this one work on 32 bit, and is about half/quad times slow than the 64bit ones here) However, i can download using the i686 client, then close it and open the x86_64 client it will procces the unit. But, the 'not downloading' 'bug' Is servers fault? Is the binary client fault? Is it my fault? (if I am doing something wrong, how do I do it right?) |

You need to use the anonymous plattform mechanism. Look at http://boinc.berkeley.edu/anonymous_platform.php or at www.boinc-doc.net. It was also often asked in the forums last time. |

this is asked a lot 1) you need to install an optimized seti client IN ADDITION TO the optimized BOINC client. 2) you need to create an appropriate app_info.xml file to tell BOINC to use your optimized seti client. if you have further questions on these, a search on some of the keywords above should get you lots of results and better instructions |

I got the SETI client (althouth I dont understood why do I need this) I also got the app_info.xml The platform reports itself as anounymous but: "Message from server: platform 'anonymous' not found" What should i do? |

I got the SETI client (althouth I dont understood why do I need this) The boinc client is the scheduler. It does download/upload and caching of the WUs for the different projects. You can attach to more than one project, and the boinc client manages the cpu resources between this differnt projects. All is good configurationable. The seti is now a science only app, which will be started from the boinc client. So you need two binaries. If you attach, for example on einstein@home, you need a binary for the einstein science app. Can you please post following : - content of your app_info.xml - ls -lRa from you boinc directory - the messages from the boinc client |

The BOINC client dont do the processing stuff? But, if I run it without the seti client, it will process. The i686 binary, downloads que work unit, it process... If i close the i686 after had it downloaded the work unit, and then open the x86_64 binary, the x86_64 binary will process the work unit too. This, without the seti client |

I got the SETI client (althouth I dont understood why do I need this) my app_info is the same of this page http://boinc.berkeley.edu/anonymous_platform.php Right now the schedulers are not responding |

The BOINC client dont do the processing stuff? The boinc client do the handling. The seti app the science computing. |

You have to change the second name field and the file_name field in the app_info.xml to the exactly name from the setiathome binary. Can you please post following - I need it ! : - content of your app_info.xml - ls -lRa from you boinc directory - the messages from the boinc client |

The BOINC client dont do the processing stuff? so, when it download and starts processing and eating the CPU, without the seti client, it process nothing, because it doeanst have the app to do the science computing? |

The BOINC client dont do the processing stuff? if you install the i686 BOINC client, BOINC will see that you attached to the seti project and will automatically download the default NON-OPTIMIZED i686 client from berkeley, then start downloading and doing work with that NON-OPTIMIZED client. if you install an optimized x86_64 BOINC client, BOINC will see that you are attached to the seti project and will automatically TRY to download a default x86_64 seti client from berkeley, except this client does NOT exist. thus BOINC will download NOTHING and do NO work. if you install EITHER an optimized i686 BOINC client OR an optimized x86_64 BOINC client ALONG WITH an optimized seti client AND an app_info.xml file that is updated to reflect the EXACT filename of your optimized seti client, then BOINC will know to use that optimized seti client to do work. Can you please post following - I need it ! : Dotsch is asking this because it is relevant information that will allow us to HELP YOU fix your problem. |

Can you please post following - I need it ! : Dotsch is asking this because it is relevant information that will allow us to HELP YOU fix your problem.[/quote] nice, so the default clients do all the work (with the default clients) I got an app_info and verified if the seti client is on the same name. Everything looks ok http://tiras.jonis.com.br/temp/temp.html I would like to try now, but i need to wait for the schedulers respond |

Are you shure, that your webserver is OK ? : While trying to retrieve the URL: http://tiras.jonis.com.br/temp/temp.html The following error was encountered: Unable to determine IP address from host name for tiras.jonis.com.br The dnsserver returned: Name Error: The domain name does not exist. |
