Package: boinc-client Version: 7.6.32+dfsg-2 Severity: normal The problem running the SETI app that I reported in bug 825374 was not logged to the BOINC log files. When the BOINC client runs an app that crashes as well as a notification in the BOINC Manager (which can be difficult for new users to find) it should be logged to /var/log/boincerr.log.
-- Package-specific info: -- Contents of /etc/default/boinc-client: # This file is /etc/default/boinc-client, it is a configuration file for the # /etc/init.d/boinc-client init script. # Set this to 1 to enable and to 0 to disable the init script. ENABLED="1" # Set this to 1 to enable advanced scheduling of the BOINC core client and # all its sub-processes (reduces the impact of BOINC on the system's # performance). SCHEDULE="1" # The BOINC core client will be started with the permissions of this user. BOINC_USER="boinc" # This is the data directory of the BOINC core client. BOINC_DIR="/var/lib/boinc-client" # This is the location of the BOINC core client, that the init script uses. # If you do not want to use the client program provided by the boinc-client # package, you can specify here an alternative client program. #BOINC_CLIENT="/usr/local/bin/boinc" BOINC_CLIENT="/usr/bin/boinc" # Here you can specify additional options to pass to the BOINC core client. # Type 'boinc --help' or 'man boinc' for a full summary of allowed options. #BOINC_OPTS="--allow_remote_gui_rpc" BOINC_OPTS="" # Scheduling options # Set SCHEDULE="0" if prefering to run with upstream default priority # settings. # Nice levels. When systems are truly busy, e.g. because of too many active # scientific applications started by the boinc client, there is a chance for # the boinc client not to be granted sufficient opportunity to check for # scientific applications to be alive and make the (wrong) decision to # terminate the scientific app. This is particularly an issue with many # apps started in parallel on modern multi-core systems and extra overheads # for the download and uploads of files with the project servers. Another # concern is the latency for scientific applications to communicate with the # graphics card, which should be low. All such values should be set and # controled from within the BOINC client. The Debian init script also sets # extra constrains via chrt on real time performance and via ionice on # I/O performance, which is beyond the regular BOINC client. It then was # too easy to use that code to also constrain minimal nice levels. We still # think about how to best distinguish GPU applications from regular apps.
