Quite right jlhal, and I did that:

Ctrl+Alt+T sudo gedit /etc/init.d/boinc-client

start()
{
log_begin_msg "Starting $DESC: $NAME"
if is_running; then
log_progress_msg "already running"
else
sleep 6
...

Boinc 7.0.24 might have issues in the fetch area too. Maybe change your work buffer, suspend some tasks and hit update, or go for the manual download and setup of 7.0.27.

Odd that the Ubuntu repository 7.0.24 client worked better as a daemon for GPU tasks than CPU tasks, while the DIY download didn't fair so well. There are a few people not so happy with 7.0.24 being added to 12.04 repositories, and I see Berkeley are still recommending 7.0.25 for Linux too.

ODD? :|

boinc-central claims to be using LTS versions for testing only.

current LTS is 12.04.

it comes with 7.0.24.

now whom shall we blame?

oops - was that a typo?

I upgraded to BOINC 7.0.27 and I'm still seeing failures on the beta workunits. Any other thoughts?

Fedora 16 - 3.3.5-2 x86_64 kernel
BOINC 7.0.27 (x86_64)
NVIDIA driver 302.07 x86_64 (beta)
GeForce GTX 560 Ti

In messages log file:

kernel: [71720.000884] acemd.2505[3469] trap divide error ip:49c901 sp:7fff40d64c60 error:0 in acemd.2505[400000+42a000]

Hmm, I meet all the requirements now, but I'm told no work available, but server status shows 185 units ready for Acecmd beta. Are they all reserved for Linux clients?

Just upgraded boinc to 7.0.27 on another machine & still getting errors

Just upgraded boinc to 7.0.27 on another machine

Could u please please please tell where did u load this version ?

Just upgraded boinc to 7.0.27 on another machine & still getting errors

well, one bug down - but there allways is another one waiting for us.. :(

So happy downloading, thx

edit:

embarissing , still no output. I give up.

(134214655MB)

my graphics memory in linux , but it must be 1023 MB !!!

So is Windows working yet or not? Judging from GDF's early post, I thought it was.

This what I get after upgrading to 7.0.27 (x86)

jlhal, go up a few lines and see if it was just asking for CPU tasks.

There are no Beta's for Windows yet:

It's only requesting task for NVIDIA

I just accepted Long Runs again to see if it's ok : 2 tasks downloaded for Long Runs.
I have switched again this off and see if it's downloading Beta tasks when Long Run is finished.
This time I allowed test apps together with ACEMD beta , may it was what was missing...

Just in case you missed the fact : I'm talking about my system (odysseusII home)under Xubuntu. The other one (odysseusIII work) is Win 7 running Long Runs exclusively and Boinc 7.0.24.

Lubuntu 16.04.1 LTS x64

For anyone else, in GPUGRID preference you need to accept test applications to test Beta apps, which is what this is (a CUDA 4.2 Beta app). In this case you don't need to accept beta tasks, as the app is used with small (non-beta) work units just to test the app. However I would still recommend to select Beta Tasks, as doing so might allow you to run full test units should they arrive.

Run test applications?
This helps us develop applications, but may cause jobs to fail on your computer yes

Run only the selected applications
ACEMD beta: yes

You might think one setting would probably do, but if a task fails it's probably not going to mess up anything else. An app failure might cause more issues.

Unfortunately I can't see other crunchers settings (I can only see tasks and computer details just like everyone else), so for anyone looking for help it's down to individuals to check their settings, read the FAQ's, post log files with settings and give as much detail as possible. Even then it's often a guessing game.

jlhal, I was pointing out to 5pot, and anyone else reading the thread, that there are still no beta's for Windows. I also wanted to post my logs from when I attempted to get betas on a windows system, so people will know what to look for (Requesting new tasks for NVIDIA).

Thx !

58.69 56.96 150.00 ACEMD beta version v6.43 (cuda42)

wdiz, that's fast ;)

WINDOWS!!! Can't wait, my 680 is bored at Einstein...

wdiz, thanks for the post. 58s is great:

Stoneageman's tasks are around 75s on a GTX580 (Linux), so it's looking like 30% faster, as Gianni said.
For ref. my GTX470 takes ~106s.
