Further to the above problem...

During setup/installation i used the name : PS3A

When you open network connections i typed it in everywhere i could.

I even altered the:
client_state xml file
and in between the tags i altered localhost.localdomain to PS3A - save and done a reboot but the changes i made reverted back to what they used to be.

This is ridiculous - :)

Hello

I have been trying for hours to alter the domain name/computer name to something other than...

I finally installed YDL v6 :)

localhost.localdomain

when i open up the terminal and type in :
hostname

It comes up as:
PS3A - this is what i want

So why does it still show as - localhost.localdomain

when i look up the computers on my account.

Pleas if possible give me step by step instructions.

Kind Regards,

John

Hello,

Thanks for your support in this matter above...

I opened up the terminal typed in:
hostname & hit enter
answer = live
bla bla bla

couldnt alter set/save etc

tryed:
vi / etc / hostname

Couldn\'t alter it there & the system said you need to go root terminal.

As you stated the live version is read only so obviously i/we dont know what the password is ... ( where is the \"sod it/bugger it\" key on the key board lol )

Didn\'t bother doing

gedit / etc / hostname - No go need Password etc

If i install YDL V6 i can alter names there right ?
During set up ? or at a later date doing...
System - admin - network - general tab - enter whatever name in host field - click on ok - restart ?

Thanks for your help...

Hello,

It\'s me again ..... :)

Today i hooked up my 2nd PS3

On PS3 Console No1 - USB Live
On PS3 Console No2 - USB Live

Both are the same versions -

When i take a look at my account it\'s only showing that i have just the 1 PS3 & not the 2 that are currently running PS3grid/boinc.

I note that the computer name for the 1st PS3 is showing as live - i assume that as the 2nd PS3 is identical to the 1st one.

- Then this would also show as live ?

- could this be the reason why only the one is listed as the computer names are identical ?

-The system can\'t tell them appart ?

How do i alter the computer consoles name from the default ( live ) to whatever ?

Using a normal PC i know how to do the above but being a linux virgin & PS3 user & crunching neewbie - I\'m stuck....

The last time i even touched a games console or even played a game for that matter was a:

DRAGON 32 - The game was Horrace Goes Skiing !

Those were the days - lol :)

Kind Regards,

John

Hello,

I have been using the PS3GRID LIVE usb pen drive for crunching the WU\'s ...Works great !

As you know wifi isnt supported so ethernet is the only option..

Today i installed YDL 5.0 - wifi is not supported.

If i download YDL 5.1 - will this support/work with the PS3\'s inbuilt wireless device ?

*** Or - Should i ***

YDL V6 - I know that this is availiable and is stable and working fine - Shold i just go straight to YDL V6 ?

And does this (YDL V6) work with the PS3\'s inbuilt wireless device ?

Kind Regards,

John

Hello To All Of You,

I\'m new to the world of crunching with a PS3 & i\'m in need of a liitle help....

(1)...I note that PS3PF - Cellbroadband Engine lists has having 2x CPU\'s. But only 1x running Work Unit instance of PS3GRID is running/crunching away.

Is this right ?
- As with a quad core say for example running another/different project you\'d have 4x running WU\'s / instanses at the same time.

- Or does ps3 grid only give 1 work unit per machine at any one time ?

If my machine can crunch 1, 2 etc at a time then so much the better - happy days !!!

- If so could i say attach simap for example and have 2x WU\'s crunching away ?

- Ideally i want to crunch exclusively for PS3 Grid


(2)...I\'m using the live version on the usb pendrive Linux 2.6.16 - 1 -ps3f i have installed it as per trhe instruction here on the website.

So if i turn the machine off and then back on linux loads and carry\'s on into Boinc and carries on crunching where i left off.

How do i get the machine to go back into ps3 game mode rather than linux ?
Will boinc still crunch if im playing a game ?

About an hour or so into the work unit i remembered to join/attach my team that i\'m a member of and the workunit detached/aborted saying that i had aborted the work unit?

Strange......Any input on that one :)

Thanks in advance for you help and i do hope that the above makes some sort of sence !!!

Kind Regards,

John
