Hello!

Im running boinc on my server with gentoo and it looks like everything works fine, but in my computer list my server has no name displayed - how can I fix this?

Thanks!

Hi
My Fedora Core 4 system used to do that even though hostname -f returned a fully qualified domain name.
It only started working when I installed Crunchers optimised seti app.
Have a look here
Looking at your computers, your running an early version, Cruncher has new versions and you won't believe how fast they run. Also, if you only run the seti project, look at updating your Boinc client at the same time.

As you can see the computer with the naming problem is a Celeron 500 and I cant find the apropriate files for this - can you help me please?

nope, we don't get to see your computer names, we can see your CPU and OS details and get in and see your results but not your computer name or IP address. When you allow others to view your computers, what we see is quite different from what you see.

and I cant find the apropriate files for this - can you help me please?

I've never had a Celeron but it should be similar.
As its linux run this command cat /proc/cpuinfo you'll see a whole bunch of stuff but what you want is in the line beginning flags (possibly cut and paste the flags line into a message here)
Open crunch3rs page in a new window/tab and compare the flags, what you should look for in your flags is SSE, SSE2, SSE3, pni.
SSE3 and pni are better that SSE2 which is better that SSE

find which of crunchers files (or Harold Naparst, theres a link on crunchers page) best supports you cpu and download it.

Stop boinc
backup your boinc directory
extract the downloaded files into YOUR_BOINC_DIR/projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu/
restart boinc

that should be it

looks like my cpu doesnt support sse, see2 oder see3 :-(

you could try Crunchers i686 mmx... app in his Seti clients for x86 section, thats probably the best your going to get

---

and getting back to your original question, it might even make your hostname show up.
