1) Message boards : Graphics cards (GPUs) : *development* BOINC 6.6.36 is out (Message 10486)
Posted 5431 days ago by Quasar
The x86_64 linux version of 6.6.36 is either corrupt or just dysfunctional. 6.6.36 will not find the localhost and does not start the becnhmarks or any other text messages in the messages tab.


I can confirm this behavior. However, I noticed that the problem can be solved if you run the run_client script after running run_manager.

Any ideas what could be causing this? I changed nothing in my setup but got these errors the past two days. Did anyone else notice this? I hope there are no problems with the PS3 WUs.

I think all the WUs, from PS3Grid and others, hang, at least that's what happened with me. I was looking around and found a newer BOINC client optimized for the PS3 (http://www.dotsch.de/boinc/boinc6219_10.linux-ps3.tar.gz), unfortunately it's a command-line version and I tried to get it to work with BOINC Manager but it didn't work. Maybe an update to the current PS3Grid BOINC client (whether using the one mentioned above or otherwise) would fix the problem?

Could it be that this problem occurs when more than one project are using the PS3 (maybe it's related to task-switching)? I've been crunching on my PS3 for a couple of months without problems but had this problem yesterday once I attached BOINC to yoyo@home. I aborted the WU and got another one but this one seems to be hanging too. Here are the links to the WUs:

5) Message boards : Multicore CPUs : Shortage in PS3 WUs? (Message 7270)

Which BOINC version do you have installed, and what was the exact message?
You need to use the PS3GRID version you can download here -> http://www.ps3grid.net/PS3GRID/PS3client/boinc_client_ps3grid.tgz.

This is the version I downloaded (it's 5.10.6). The message simply says that no work was sent and the project requested communication to be deferred for one day. I tried updating it manually several times but I kept getting the same response.

Hey everybody, I just installed YDL 6.1 on a new PS3 I have. I installed BOINC and attached it to my GPUGRID account without problems. However, when I try to acquire new work for the PS3, I get a message saying that I didn't receive new work and the project requested communication to be deferred for 1 day. I just wanted to check whether there's a shortage in PS3 WUs or is there something wrong with my setup?
