Title: 64 bit version
Post by: fred on May 04, 2010, 06:20:03 PM
Has anyone got BT working on a 64 bit machine with a remote computer connection?

If you are referring to boinc stats displaying the temps, the yes, I have 2 remote win boxes and (almost) one linux* box reporting temps back to boincstasks.

However, the temps reported are identical for each of the 4 cpu's but the gpu's are correct.

I am getting back individual correct reading for each cpu temp, but the last temp is the only one that is being displayed (for all tasks).  I used microsoft net monitor to see what was happening.

(http://stateson.net/images/cap_filter.png)

The last packet of data shows 49.7 50.1  49.8 and 48.9 but only the last temp is used for the boinctasks temperature display for all 4 cpu's  (The packet does not match the image since they were taken at different times).  The gpu temperatures all are displayed correctly.

BTW I am attempting to modify the ubuntu linux sensors-applet that uses lm-sensors to send temperature measurements to your program for the cpu's and the gpu's on my linux systems.  *So far, all I have is a ubuntu server that routes some random temps back to boinctasks but I had the idea of putting it into the sensors-applet.  These are all 64 bit systems, vista, windows 7 and ubuntu

So far I haven't come up with a way to match a project with a cpu. So the highest value is shown.
If you have a sensor reading app for your linux systems I'm glad to include it in the installer.

A good test case, I found some wrong status messages in BoincTasks, so that's nice.

On one computer I mistyped the IP as 191, instead of 192. The monitor is a bit small. ;D

The second computer really puzzles me. It works but I don't know why, this is embarrassing. Maybe it's the jet-lag.
I put in the password that BoincTasks reports on the remote host.
But that's not the password in the file! ???

The file is in C:\ProgramData\BOINC\gui_rpc_auth.cfg
I deleted the file and rebooted the system. And as far as I know BOINC should make a new file, but it doesn't.

Fred,

gui_rpc_auth.cfg is generated with the random password the first time BOINC is run from a clean install, after which you can put in your own p/w.  (BOINC User Manual) (http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Controlling_BOINC_remotely#Access_control_for_GUI_RPC)

At least on my (Vista x64) system, if gui_rpc_auth.cfg is removed (renamed) and the client is restarted, a new gui_rpc_auth.cfg is definitely generated with a new random password.  I've no idea why your system didn't/wouldn't do this.

I will add an additional logging what file BT is using to get the password.
