Hi, the WU here after is still showing in Boinc manager as "upload in progress", but is expired since 2 of May because it never began to upload when finished:

What can I do in order to remove it from Boinc display ?
I rebooted more than once since, but no effect.
Thanks for your time...

Any idea/tip ?

Go to Transfers, and if it is listed there click Retry Now.
If it's not there Abort it.

Maybe remove the GPUGrid project, delete the GPUGrid folder and then re-attach.

The 295.40 driver is working for me on Kubuntu 12.04 for Beta tasks. I downloaded the driver from NVIDIA and installed it myself. Are you sure Xubuntu installs the correct driver? Maybe it installs the proper driver but doesn't setup the driver correctly?

I'm not an expert on GPU computing so I am not sure what all the setup parameters are or where to locate them. I know that when I install the NVIDIA driver manually it makes big changes to /etc/X11/xorg.conf so my guess is many of the setup parameters are in that file. There may be 1000 other parameters stored in other files that I don't know about.

Here is my xorg.conf immediately after installing Kubuntu and before manually installing the NVIDIA driver:

I'm not sure. I just saw Coolbits 5 recommended somewhere the other day for the first time and I passed it off as a typo. I'm using Coolbits 4 on Kubuntu and have never tried Coolbits 5. The Gentoo wiki article I mentioned on my previous post even mentions Coolbits 1 as being required for something to do with unlocking the clock settings though you put Coolbits 1 in a different section of xorg.conf, according to Gentoo wiki.

Maybe Coolbits 4 allows manual fan speed settings and 5 allows all that plus OCing? And just 1 allows OCing but not manual fan speed adjusts? I also find it odd that it won't allow me to set the fan speed % to just any number from 1 to 100, only 44 and 85 are accepted. If I use anything between 86 and 100 it falls back to 85. Maybe Coolbits 5 will allow more fan speed values? I dunno but now I'm curious.

I'll see if it will allow me to adjust a clock with Coolbits 4. If not then I'll try Coolbits 5. I'm not familiar with OCing so which setting(s) would you recommend as the one(s) to try first and how much should I adjust it? Currently I'm at:

Graphics: 742 MHz
Memory: 1900 MHz
Processor: 1484 MHz

Here's the doc that explains everything for the 295.40 driver for Linux. If it's not in that doc then it's not worth knowing ;) Change the 295.40 in the URL to match the driver you are using.

This page from that doc explains the Coolbits option and it turns out my wild guess was right. Coolbits 4 allows manual fan speed control and Coolbits 1 allows clocks adjustments. The integer argument to Coolbits is a bit mask so Coolbits 5 allows both clocks and manual fan control so 5 is probably what most crunchers want to use. BTW, Coolbits 2 attempts to setup SLI between cards with different amounts of RAM if anybody has run into that problem.

In addition to putting Coolbits 5 in xorg.conf:

1) To allow manual fan control you also need to start the nvidia-settings utility, go to the Thermal Settings page and check the Enable GPU Fan Settings box. Then you can set the fan speed manually. The setting does not stick between X sessions for my Asus card so I have to put the following statements in a startup script.

I don't use the Coolbits option in a startup script either, if that's what you mean. The Coolbits statement definitely has to be inserted into /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Statements for setting fan and/or clock speed go into startup scripts.

Still no luck adjusting clocks here. I think I need to go to Asus forums and ask about setting clocks and fan speed.

@jlhal,

Sorry about hijacking your thread. Let us know how you're making out.

Will make a snapshot of my Nvidia X-server window setingd to let you see what is available without doing anything myself ...
