1) Message boards : Problems and Bug Reports : Wrong awarded credit (Message 112347)

Hi, I recently started to compute Albert on my Raspberry Pi. So far I did 2 WU and each were today awarded 500 credits. So it should make 1000 credits total, but in my user account is showed 8500 credits total. I didn't compute any other WU on this project than the 2 WU on Raspberry Pi, so there must be some problem in credit awarding. Thanks for fix.


There's more wrong with it...you should get only 500/8 credits for those tasks, as they are 1/8th the size of the regular BRP4 units :-(.

Winter sale, so to speak.

2) Message boards : Problems and Bug Reports : No WUs for my Raspberry Pi (Message 112346)

I will add the standard 7.0.27 from the repo doesn't have this issue and works fine "out of the box" for Albert and Asteroids.

For the other projects you need to play around with the app_info (and as Bernd suggests the platform/alternate platform).


I guess people will either use the standard Debian/Raspbian wheezy BOINC from the repo (which works out of the box), or will compile their own client. When compiling your own, you can specify the platform string used by BOINC in the ./configure command line (I think it is "--with-platform=....") and if you pick the one that Bernd mentioned, you will be fine with most projects.

3) Message boards : Problems and Bug Reports : validation inconclusive (Message 112336)

A message by Bernd in Einstein@home says:
We found a problem in S6BucketLVE validation. Until this has been tracked down and fixed (or worked around) the validator is disabled.


Thanks for reporting this, it was actually your message here about validation problems that made us look deeper into the validation results!

Cheers
HB
