Free-DC

It gets updated a few times a day: late am, afternoon, and finsl update somewhere around 9pm, all EST

im still crunching away, thats whats nice about this octo, I can do that work while be on TPU without any laggys

ive got 1 vina project left. the rest are the usuall

manofthem · Nov 29, 2014

Additionally the points on Free-DC are BOINC pts and do not match WCG points exactly, should be 7 WCG pts = 1 BOINC put... iirc

You're 100% correct.

Well. I officially have no freaking idea what is going on with the dualie. It kept giving me a bsod. When I tried to start in recovery mode it wanted a password but didn't like the standard one I normally use. I later found out that doesn't seem to meet the requirements for the server version of windows I'm using but now I have no idea what the actual pw is. Fortunately I have it set to log me in automatically when there is a successful boot.

Anyway, last night, it was even bsod'ing on the recovery boot, until it wasn't. Then it just hang with a blank screen. So I left it like that. I made up a new install disk thinking I would just blow away the hard drive and start from scratch tonight but lo and behold, I go to boot from the cd and it decides it will boot into windows. I see that there's been an update to the OS and it's telling to wait while it configures. OK, sure.

Now everything seems to be working. So I created another admin account with a password that I'll have tattooed somewhere on my person but in the meantime is carved into the desk where the case sits. So I should be able to get back in if need ever arises. Still can't see the machine on boincstats and don't know why but I guess I'll deal with that problem some other time.

Ubuntu works great on dual 1366 rigs. :toast:

Hey guys. It's been a long time, but I'm back, and planning to have a couple of rigs up and running for the cause in the next few weeks.

Welcome back buddy. :toast:

twilyth · Nov 29, 2014

Thanks but I can barely tolerate using windows. The idea of trying to learn something else just to run WCG is too painful to bear. Maybe someday I'll have the mojo to try it. I know I should for the boost in productivity but I'm just not there yet.

I can setup a Ubuntu HDD for you and drop it in the mail... all of my Ubuntu 12.04 LTS rigs just run- the only thing that stops them is lack of electricity

That's probably the only way I would do it. But then the problem is when something breaks I have no idea what to do. As you've seen, I'm clueless enough with an OS I actually know something about. Can you imagine what it would be like otherwise? OMG. I probably would start looking around for a blunt instrument. But I really do appreciate the thought. Thank you.

t_ski · Nov 29, 2014

Ubuntu is pretty easy, and as long as you don't dink around with it too much it should be fine. I broke mine once and had to do a reinstall. Nothing different there from many others who run Windows.

Do you have a computer sitting around that you can test it out with? Before going full on?

I have two, of the three desktops, in my little farm running Linux. I started with Mint, an easy UI, and then jumped into Ubuntu and had them both up and running within a few minutes, with a little help from my friends, i.e. TPU!!!

Norton's offer, a drive preloaded, is a sweet deal!! That's the biggest part!! Downloading, then setting it up in a cmd window....Take it and run!! Nearly everyone here knows a little bit and/or can point you in the right direction.

Not to mention, the boost in crunching, and the Science!!!

Have no fear!! :toast:

twilyth · Nov 29, 2014

Thanks, but it's really not something that's on my list of priorities at the moment. There are too many other things I should be taking care of and have been putting off that I need to take care of first. Someday maybe I'll get my act together though.

twilyth · Nov 30, 2014

OK. And my problem child rig is down again. So here's the plan. Since there is an ancient hard drive in there, I'm going to reinstall on an SSD spare I have and see how that goes. If I still have problems after that, then I'm not sure what I'm going to do.

Well, it's likely a hardware issue at that point, wouldn't you say? I mean the rig ran for about 2 years I think until it developed any problems - which was one of the reasons I shut it down to begin with - although I probably forgot about that since it's been down for a while, but it's starting to come back to me. LOL.

The next culprit would be the PSU which is also pretty ancient.

HDD's and ram are the sources of issues I have once in awhile

What are the specs on it?

That's an excellent question.

What else would you like to know?

Seriously though, beyond what cpu's are in it, I have absolutely no idea. I've never kept any records. When I need to know I have to go and look. I just happen to remember that the chips are ES but the board and ram I bought new while the hd and psu I rescued from the salvage heap.

t_ski · Nov 30, 2014

If you have a spare HDD, I'd recommend that over and SSD due to the constant writing. I haven't seen it personally, but I'd be worried about wearing out the drive.

twilyth · Nov 30, 2014

That's a thought. Maybe I'll use both and start doing image backups to the hdd. Right now I'm running a diagnostic after resetting the bios to the defaults. There's the possibility I may have tried to get cute with some of the settings, they worked for a while, forgot what I did and then ran into problems and couldn't figure out why. Wouldn't be the first time I've fallen into that trap. I'll go back and check before I hit the hay.
