You are correct @thebluebumblebee !!!
I didn't notice at first as I was just looking at the small application's window and not the top of the desktop itself!

Thanks to @Norton for helping me install Ubuntu 16.04 on the e5 2683 system

Nice! Should be a pretty good bump up in ppd for that rig!

Hope it was an easy process for you?

EDIT- Really liking the ppd I'm getting out of my Ryzen 1600X!!!

Well guys, looks like we'll be getting some stormy weather this weekend. I'll be shutting down the pcs Saturday, as we're going to be having some company over. If things get crazy, I'll be moving my machines away from the windows too.

Anyway, don't be alarmed if I drop off for a few days and/or if I dont log in. I'm expecting power outages to hit us, unless the storm makes a big change.

Stay safe bud- you, your family, and all of the other members down there (@Jstn7477 @Chicken Patty @BUCK NASTY and everyone else)!

Doing all I can. If you'll see a Crystal Red C6 Corvette flying around your town, there's a good chance that was mine. Feel free to take it for a spin lol. I'll post around the forums as I get a chance. We should be good another day or two before this thing starts to make landfall here.

Anybody not getting the new project, MIP?

I had one on each machine, the day it dropped, but none since.

 

[infrared]

I'm getting a handful of MIP work units, but mostly SCC. It's odd that you aren't getting any , have you been through your project settings/device profiles on the WCG website?

 

[Recca29]

Full with MIP work units, but i am little confused.
With all MIP tasks by system temps at full loads are ~58c but with OpenZika system temps were ~80c. don't know whats happening.

Do you have a full workload/all threads running?

Selecting MIP only might not be filling up your rig... if that's the case then try adding SCC work since they seem to work well together imo

I'm trying to install or rather re-install boinc on my laptop and I keep getting this message that says it's looking for a resource on the network that isn't there. I can provide more info if needed but I think this issue has come up before and I'm hoping someone can tell me what the problem is. If not, I'll try to re-install again and make a note of exactly what it says and what it's looking for. Thanks.

IIRC, he's running i3's. Its been my experience that slower systems, which aren't requesting new work all that often, can miss out on limited availability WU's. On the other hand, fast systems requesting work more often can often grab more, which is how I got ~15K out of a 2600K.
@twilyth , that's not ringing a bell for me.

Running 16 threads, all 100% at 3641 MHz. I have about 5 days of MIP work units in queue.
Changed the project to OpenZika and OET for the time being will change it back when MIP becomes more mature.

 

[Arjai]

I got another MIP on one of the i3's, but nothing on my LappyTop, an i5. The i3's are running at 3GHz, or a little better, and the i5 lappytop maxes out at 2.1 using all cores.

My numbers a going to be a little bit off for the next day or two- the internet is down at my remote site so the 4P and the 980X can only be updated manually by using my phone as a WiFi hotspot.

Hopefully Frontier will be out to fix it tomorrow...

The rig I have running on the Kreij account is there also

EDIT- all fixed. Frontier has a bad habit of fixing one thing and breaking something else when working on poles around here

Anyone interested in a GPU for F@H? Here's a nice price on a water cooled GTX 1070: MSI GTX 1070 Seahawk EK X, 2x Toshiba 960GB SSDs

Spent a few hours last night swapping in my new Ryzen 1700X setup into my main PC case.. the insides of my Fortress FT-01 case was quite mess and I went through many rags and nearly 2 cans of air getting all of the crud out of the case ... still need to get a lot of stuff working again (TV tuner, fan controller, DVD player software, etc..) but now that it IS my main PC I can dedicate more time to it.

Also got my old setup back up and running outside of the case, going to switch that over to the test bench/open air case I picked up and probably get it back to crunching for awhile until I decide what I'm going to do with it (cruncher rig, server setup, sell it, or give it away)

If you want CPU temperature monitoring to work under Linux for your Ryzen / Threadripper / EPYC processor(s), it's working on hwmon-next.

Ugh, having a fight with one of the 1800X rigs, I'd tried running only MIP on everything, but the two 1800x/linux machines fell flat on their faces, the 6700k/win7 was finishing a MIP work unit in <1hr, the AMD systems for some reason were taking 8+hrs per task. I changed my preferences on the WCG website so now I should only be getting SCC work units, and the 6700k + 1 of the 1800X machines are back in the game, but for some reason one machine is being stubborn and only downloading MIP units. I tried clicking 'options - Read config files' which should have told it to get SCC only. As soon as I let it download more work it was all MIP Any ideas?

I've been meaning to install a newer distro so I have temperature monitoring working, maybe I should use this as an excuse to do that.

I don't know what you're doing there. Is it possible to control what project(s) a client gets at the client level? I thought you had to go to settings on the WCG website and set up profiles in order to specify projects for specific clients? (I won't have time to look into this today)

Yeah, that's what I'm doing, and it's working for all the other machines, just 1 seems to have gone rogue and isn't cooperating lol. Cheers

You may have to delete the project in the BOINC manager and reattach to the project. This will dump any current work and get you new wu's

Legend! That sorted it I was trying the reset project button which half worked, got rid of the MIP stuff in the queue, but just downloaded more the moment i let it get new tasks. Cheers!

 

[twilyth]

FYI - you can create up to 4 client profiles and specify the projects you'll accept for each one. I forget what they're called. I think you've got work, home, school and I guess default.
