Posted 24 Oct 2015 by tullio Post: My CPU is perfect and I check it on Task Manager. I can see the consoles on the CERN Challenge but not on the other BOINC projects. On VLHC@home I see the charts, on CMS-dev I see the logs, on Atlas@home I see nothing. I have only Microsoft software on this PC and don't want any antivirus, since I only connect to BOINC servers. My mail is on a Linux box Tullio |

Posted 23 Oct 2015 by tullio Post: I have only Windows Defender and I asked Microsoft to notify before installing any update that requires a reboot. But Windows 10 Home edition which resulted from an update of 8.1 has the habit of rebooting without any reason, and this often causes the Virtual Machines to go into Powered off. I then have to restart them manually and if they go in the Unaccessible state I abort them. Tasks with shorter duration like Atlas@home are less affected. This and the fact that RDP does not exist on Windows 10 Home edition while it existed on 8.1 makes impossible to see the consoles (but I see those of the Challenge)so I am flying blind most of the times. Cheers. Tullio |

Posted 22 Oct 2015 by tullio Post: I got a computation error with the new wrapper. vLHC@home and Atlas@home tasks running fine despite reboots by Windows 10 for unknown reasons, not related to updates, Tullio |

Posted 19 Oct 2015 by tullio Post: Since I cannot see the consoles due to RDP not existing on my Windows 10 Home edition, I cannot understand what is going or not going on. I see the two consoles on the Challenge tasks using Databridge and I see the charts on standard vLHC@home, nothing on Atlas@home. I used to see all on Windows 8.1 provided by HP, then Microsoft "updated" my Windows and all went down the river. Tullio |

Posted 8 Oct 2015 by tullio Post: I've played Adventure on an ONYX computer with UNIX in the Eighties. Then I found it described by Tracy Kidder in his book "The soul of a new machine' which I translated for Mondadori in 1983. Tullio |

Posted 3 Oct 2015 by tullio Post: I was working for Honeywell Information Systems Italy when it launched its first UNIX computer. We sent one to a technical journalist so that he could test it. The nest day he phoned: your computer does not work. But what have you done? we asked him. I typed "diskformat" he said. Out of the more 300 UNIX command he had chosen the only one that erased the disk. We eliminated that command. Tullio |

Posted 23 Aug 2015 by tullio Post: In vLHC@home there is MCPLOTS which counts the number of jobs you have run and the number of events (collisions) you have crunched. When you reach 1 billion events you are admitted to the Billionaires club. Tullio |

Posted 22 Aug 2015 by tullio Post: CMS-dev seems to be working steadily in Task Manager. I set High Performance in the Power settings and even Firefox is working OK. No consoles, only logs here and graphs in vLHC@home. Tullio |

Posted 21 Aug 2015 by tullio Post: I used to have RDP in Windwos 8.1 and I could see all the consoles. Now I see only the logs. Instead, in CERN Summer Challenge, I see the consoles. Tullio |

Posted 21 Aug 2015 by tullio Post: Since I cannot see the consoles, because my Windows 10 Home edition has no longer RDP, which I used to have in 8.1, I don't know what is going on. The only thing I see is a CPU usage in Task Manager which is very variable, going from 0 to 20%, while both ATLAS@home and vLHC@home maintain a stable rate of about 17%. The CERN Summer Challenge uses 44% because it runs on two cores of my 4 core A10-6700 AMD CPU. Tullio |

Posted 18 Aug 2015 by tullio Post: WBox 5.02 does not yet work in Windows 10.So I cannot install it. Also Firefox is giving me problems. Windows 8.1 was OK and I could go back to it within a month from the date of installation. When I get bored with Windows I shall install SuSE Linux. There is a new version coming called 42.1(?) and I will wait until then. Cheers. Tullio |

Posted 18 Aug 2015 by tullio Post: From a Google search I found a site including a post which says that the Home edition of Windows 10, that is the free update from 8.1 does not include RDP. So long consoles, except those of CERN Summer Challenge that use a browser window (not Windows). Tullio |
