Since we issued it, I'd like to see us turn out in force. If you're gonna, there is an optimized app in the team DropBox.
What I like the most on this project beyond cracking a message is the short wus.
Can't reach site.

10 Days till start
Looks like WU's are being distributed with a deadline of Feb 22nd already. So only about 20 more minutes before we could start bunkering. :)
Too bad I already have well over a million hours on the project. Not that much incentive for me to run it hard. :rolleyes:
I need 1.5M credits to finish it off ... then I'm done :D
Does anyone know how many WU you can get per machine or thread?
I've had the opti-app for a while. Is there a newer one?
I'll start bunkering as soon as my RL stuff clears up. Should be Monday.
Vic
That's still less than 2 days work
Team L'ALLIANCE FRANCOPHONE is asking me how to enter the contest. I don't know what do they need to do to set it up on boincstats.
Curious, they are usually entered automatically. No matter, one of their admins with the correct login info can sign them up just like we have to do for challenges.
Any of you folks getting enigma work on linux?
I got 4 computers worth last night but haven't tried it today.
Yes sir, not having any problems at all. If it was getting work and stopped then I don't have an answer. HOWEVER, if it is new to the project and you have "no_alt_platform" enabled in your cc_config then it won't pull any work. I know someone who found that out the hard way :D
I swear I'm not loading up and draining the queue either. But soon... :D

Loading up!!
Whats the deal with the opti app? quick links anyone?
I can install after the big dump...
HF
nevermind, found my notes!!
someday I "WILL" get it together
HF
Okay Mumps, knock it off! I can't get to the server to load up more VMs =))
My understanding is that they are the team that shows up blank and only shows the team name after the competition starts.
Oh, and I'm finally getting U-Verse installed today. I did manage to load up a bit more work prior to going offline. Hopefully from here on out will go smoothly, as up to this point it has been a very painful experience.
Anyone know what the max wu download for 240 cpu?
I need some linux gurus to help me figure this out. I have 5 linux VMs and 3 native linux installs. All running ubuntu server 14.04 and boinc-client 7.2.42. These systems download every other project WUs just fine but I can't get a single enigma wu on any of them. When booted to windows they all download WUs under windows just fine. 100% of cpus being used, no app_config or app_info files. Work buffer set to everything from 1 day to 10/10. Only project on a couple systems and resource share is set to 8000. This is all I get in the log...

What the heck is the problem? I've posted to the project message board but no response yet. You guys afraid of my bunker drops so bad you had the enigma project admin blackball my systems? ;)
Well, I just tested and got plenty of Enigma work on my Linux hosts. Went from about 6 hosts having around 250 WU's total to now having well over 5500 Linux WU's downloaded. Personally, I'd blame 7.2.42. IIRC that one had some work fetch issues that were ugly. I'm on either 7.4.25 or 7.6.2x. For Ubuntu, try using the locutusofborg ppa to get the current 7.6.22 linux release of the client.
Once you add the ppa with the add-apt command, you'll need to run
sudo apt-get update
to get your local catalog updated to reflect the new packages available through the ppa. Then yes
sudo apt-get install boinc
If you used a Distro repository to originally install BOINC, I believe it gets installed in the same place. But if you used one of the downloadables from the BOINC/dl site, you may have to fiddle around a bit to get your current preferences transferred to a new location.
There was an error during the installation. There is the en of the output from the process....

BTW...when I originally installed from the distro I installed boinc-client, not plain boinc if that matters
ok, I'll google it :rolleyes:
