Hi everybody, I have a Dell T5500 computer (8 CPU's + 1 nvidia card) available for crunching overnight and during weekends. It is running on Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS (lucid) and 64 bits. For several reasons I must not upgrade to a newer ubuntu version. I tried to install BOINC and it seems to work, but I can't attach to any project: When I try to join an account manager through my accounts in BAM! and Grid Republic, I get the following, with any of them: 22-Mar-2013 17:19:28 [---] Account manager contact succeeded 22-Mar-2013 17:19:28 [---] [error] Bad signature for URL http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/ 22-Mar-2013 17:19:28 [---] [error] Bad signature for URL http://climateprediction.net/ 22-Mar-2013 17:19:28 [---] [error] Bad signature for URL http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/ 22-Mar-2013 17:19:28 [---] [error] Bad signature for URL http://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/ 22-Mar-2013 17:19:28 [---] [error] Bad signature for URL http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/ ... When I try to add an individual project directly, I obtain a similar output: 22-Mar-2013 17:17:40 [eon2] Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks 22-Mar-2013 17:17:40 [eon2] Message from server: Invalid or missing account key. To fix, remove and add this project . Detaching and adding the project again doesn't work, quitting and rejoining the account manager either. I tried BOINC client versions 6.10.17, 6.12.34 and 7.0.28 for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, and none of them works (the last one probably for incompatibilities with Lucid). Of course I did google but I didn't find a solution. I have other 11 machines crunching and I never got this problem. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? Does anyone know a solution? Thank you very much. Yacob |

It appears this is a bug in your Linux version. GridRepublic has a thread on it: http://www.gridrepublic.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=26&topic=263.msg1039#msg1039 |

Ok, somehow it works! Thanks Ageless, the fix of that thread worked. I searched for the version following to 6.10.17 before, but I don't know why I couldn't fix it with that. I guess I needed some focus! BTW, why there is not a page here with access to download any useful version? http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download_all.php seems incomplete to me, so the 6.10.58 doesn't appear there and that is the one that I needed. Thanks again |
