 Notice of GR client update, but I can't find anything  Help  Gridrepublic.org 12/15/10 08:14 pm

Just had to do a big power cycle/reboot, and coming up I got some notices that there is a new GR client. Version 6 or so. But, I can't find it anywhere. And the Windows Desktop client does not seem to have a check for updates anywhere.

So, is there a new update? If so, can we safely update or overinstall, or do I have to make the client computer rejoin the whole effort?

Thanks

Okay, had to upgrade. Now it is working, so whatever bug is in the 10.4 distro version (6.10.17) is fixed in 6.10.56.  Here are the steps.

  1. Download fromhttp://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php- I got 6.10.56
  2. Unpacked the shar to a BOINC/ directory
  3. Shutdown boinc - boinccmd --quit, and made sure boincmgr also off. (ps aux | grep boinc)
  4. Thanks to Spy-Hill documentation, upgraded by copying the files locally.
  5. cd BOINC/
  6. cp boincmgr /usr/local/bin
  7. cp boinc /usr/bin
  8. cp boinccmd /usr/bin
  9. /etc/init.d/boinc-client start
I connected using Tools->Attach to Project to GridRepublic, and it got my profile and downloaded jobs. Happy-happy, joy-joy, grid-grid!

Looks like a solution has been put on the Ubuntu community forums. https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/111283

Seems like the method is to Uninstall BOINC, then manually reinstall, then install the new patch? from http://boinc.berkeley.edu. I'll have to get to it tomorrow. But just looking now I don't see the update shell script on the BOINC site.

Just installed the package from the Package Manager on Ubu 10.4. boinc --version says it is 6.10.17, versus 6.4.5 on my Ubu 9.04 box.

Sounds like BOINC Mgr has the problem. Cause the URLs are correct, but why the Mgr gives a bad checksum seems strange.

Like I said, I was able to attach to Rosetta manually, but the the computations kept restarting so I detached. I've manually attached to ClimatePrediction for a while, to see if that compute space is good with the 32-bit libs.

Building a new box with Ubuntu 10.4 I'm putting BOINC on it to test stability a little, and when idle. Connecting up, it gets bad URLs from my projects.
