ubuntu 9.04, core - 2.6.26.15-generic, GTX275 OC'ed (702/1584/1260), BOINC 6.10.4 and 6.10.6, 190.18 and 90.32 nvidia driver.

while BOINC works there is no problem, the whole week 100% stable work w/o any issue. But on weekends I need to switch my rig to windows in order to "work" over Crysis, COD WaW, etc.

I tried to suspend WU's, I'm waiting to processes to disappear from gnome system monitor. But when I'm done with gaming I'm switching back to linux and GPU WU immedeately dies with "Computation error".

So, how should I turn off BOINC in order to keep WU's continue to work? Rosetta works fine.

And the second question is about "do not use GPU when in use". It still using GPU what causes periodical freezes and makes me angry :-)

I have found that the best way to keep a work unit during a reboot is to
1) Suspend all Gpugrid work units
2) Close the Boinc manager - not by File - Exit but by closing the window.
3) Open an console; change to the Boinc subdirectory and
Stop Boinc via the command line
./boinccmd --quit

In Linux, this will usually allow me to return to the work unit later.

OK, thanx bro:-)

I do not know why but 2gay while I'm playing with i2c I reboot the rig 2 or 3 times. I had no dead Wu's. Strange...

Too many people trust ... Windows.

For Ubuntu I just stop boinc as below. Works fine for me and it picks right back up when rebooting back to Ubuntu.:

sudo /etc/init.d/boinc-client stop

I shofted to 6.10.6 and it work fine to me eveni turn it off using "quit"

You might look to 6.10.7 -- it is reported to address the problem that 6.10.6 has with multiple work units -- moving from one to another within a project rather than completing one and moving to the next.

Hello, and i´m having big troubles with my GF GTX 260, C2D 8500 and GPUGrid.
It crahsed very often with the following error:

"Output file...... for Task ..... absent."

What is going wrong?

Thank you...

When you start getting errors you should make some observations, temps of GPU, CPU, board, fan speeds, task failure types, system usage at time of failure.
There are several generic things you can do,

Restart the system (stops system related runaway errors),
Increase fan speed / improve ventilation (reduces temps),
Free up a CPU core/thread (stops some heartbeat issues),
Reduce CPU clocks if the CPU is overclocked (reduces system temperature/motherboard and component overheating issues, especially chipset),
Reduce GPU clocks (start by trying to reduce the memory speed, then move onto the GPU if need be, but you shouldn't have to go below 10%)
Rollback, reinstall or upgrade drivers,
Increase GPU voltage very slightly.
Clean the GPU and system,
Reset the Bios,
Re-seat the GPU (take it out, reboot, power down, re-seat the GPU),
Restore or reinstall the operating system.

I am using drivers 275.33, BOINC 6.12.33(x64) and can cause the downclock on demand. Is there any resolution other than rebooting the system?

Thank You

I am suddenly having a bunch of acemd2 tasks fail. this is the first time this has happend since I started running GPUGRID.
