Hi

I keep getting an error of unknown OS. Here is the log.

You have to create a file app_info.xml in the projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu directory, with following content :

<app_info>
    <app>
        <name>setiathome</name>
    </app>
    <file_info>
        <name>setiathome_4.07_windows_intelx86.exe</name>
        <executable/>
    </file_info>
    <app_version>
        <app_name>setiathome</app_name>
        <version_num>407</version_num>
        <file_ref>
            <file_name>setiathome_4.07_windows_intelx86.exe</file_name>
            <main_program/>
        </file_ref>
    </app_version>
</app_info>

Please change "setiathome_4.07_windows_intelx86.exe" to the exactly name of your binary in the projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu/directory.

At http://boinc.berkeley.edu/anonymous_platform.php is it all described in detail.

Did you install /usr/ports/astro/boinc-setiathome?
If you have installed it and there are setiathome and app_info.xml in /var/db/boinc/projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu/, then open /var/db/boinc/client_state.xml and change the field min_rpc_time to <min_rpc_time>0</min_rpc_time>.

Hi

I have never had that much luck with min_rpc bit

I get the following message now.

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/boinc.sh start
Starting BOINC client.

There is no reason to wait. You can backup this file and edit it, like Tusji has described it.

I guess after made changes to the XML and make 0 sec deferr, there still is the "no schedulers responded"

Its odd to see that UC Berkeley would'nt support a popular version of BSD, FreeBSD.

I guess after made changes to the XML and make 0 sec deferr, there still is the "no schedulers responded"

Has it worked before, or is it a new installation ?
Do you have a firewall installed ?
Can you nslookup setiathome.berkeley.edu ?
Can you connect from this system to the seti server (setiathome.berkeley.edu) to port 80 via telnet or a browser ?

Its odd to see that UC Berkeley would'nt support a popular version of BSD, FreeBSD.

Berkeley has no personal an finacal resources to support the different OSes. All the not supported OSes was ported by volunteers.

Looks like the seti servers or the network has a problem : http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=28093

Sorry, duplicate post.
