One is normal for SCC1 for devices considered reliable, but I think "reliable" means it's successfully validated 10 SCC1 results. I don't remember the details e.g. how recent that needs to be.
----------------------------------------If you're getting a lot of _1, it means the _0 device is not yet known to the system to be reliable.

Can someone recommend a Linux distro?: I want to see whether my Win 11 output could be improved upon. Thanks

Same here. Completed over 400+ tasks with zero validation. Wing persons haven't completed their tasks yet by checking a few.
----------------------------------------Edit: after checking more, found one awaiting the system validator to run its course. More than one hour after the my wing person completed the task.  [Edit 1 times, last edit by pututu at Apr 22, 2023 3:38:44 PM] |

Can someone recommend a Linux distro?: I want to see whether my Win 11 output could be improved upon. Thanks I use Ubuntu Long Term Support versions (LTS), currently on 20.04 with upgrade to 22.04 planned. This can be run from DVD or USB to check it works with your PC without disturbing what is currently installed. It is possible to load BOINC to test how tasks run. Ubuntu also has flavours for smaller PCs with lower memory & CPU requirements. Other distros to check out include Mint, from a similar base. Paul.
Paul.

RE: Linux...
John, I run Debian and Linux Mint (with a few Windows systems). If you're just starting, I'd definitely advise Linux Mint. I like Debian because it gets Security Patches much quicker (big concern for me), plus it has 32-bit Distros for (2) XP-era machines I resurrected from the junkpile to run WCG alongside my 64-bit systems. [Cost of electricity to keep these running vs a bigger multithreaded system is a concern, but both have sentimental value & it's nice to point to them and tell folks they're running a Modern OS] -- * Mint with Cinnamon Desktop absolutely worked out-of-the-box -- I hardly touched anything. * With Debian I had to get baptized quickly in 3rd party driver installs (WiFi) and 50 installation screens. * ZDNet has been pushing Windowsfx and Zorin for folks migrating off Windows to Linux, but I've not tried either. [To read --> https://tinyurl.com/muxmbpeh and https://tinyurl.com/56t83azv ] * One thing to keep in mind -- the further you get away from the "Base" Linux distributions like Debian, Fedora, Slackware, etc, the longer you can expect to see Security Updates -- I know with the Linux Mint box I'm testing I don't get Zero-Day Updates that Debian releases for 1-2 days because Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu, which is based on Debian. -- One item of note -- either save your HostID for the current system and replace in the new, or totally give the new Linux box a different name! WCG currently has issues if you bring a different system online with same name and expecting it to magically takeover from where Windows left-off -- it won't (speaking from experience and alot of hard work on the WCG Tech Team's part to reconcile -- kudos to them -- I won't bring another system online with same Windows/Linux name again). This topic is probably best if presented over on the BOINC Client branch -- folks will help you there if you need assistance. Good Luck! |
