It runs on my 64 bit linux systems though I did have a problem with the initial setup I was using. Not sure which it was, but I was originally running 64 bit ubuntu server with just the boinc-client package installed. Installed a 64 bit version of mint xfce, installed boinc (the full package which includes boinc manager) and it downloaded and ran enigma just fine.

This got things going for me (after a bunch of failed tasks - oops!). Should work on any 64-bit RHEL/CentOS variant:

Code:

yum install glibc.i686 libgcc.i686

Got my dual x5650s on this now. Will get the rest moved over tomorrow once SAT is finished.

Joined in on this.

How to check ranking within team?

Welcome aboard

I'd normally use the Free-DC stats site but that has been down for a day, but just for within our team you can use the Enigma sites list here...

You are currently 21st so on the 2nd page, but don't think that will last long !

Having some trouble trying to get this running on Linux, any ideas?

(will have a go when I get home)

ozaudio · 24 Feb 2016 at 13:35

which version of Linux? I don't use Linux but some of these guys do and seem to of found the reason / fix

page 2 shows the version that works - 12.04 x64

What distro are you running? Take a look at B1ng's post above, you may need the 32-bit libc/glibc libraries:

BOINC - ArchWiki

wiki.archlinux.org

Anyone having issues with Linux, hopefully you can reverse engineer your setup from this!

Try installing the lib32-glibc and lib32-glib2 libraries, depending what flavour of Linux you're running the commands will be different but for example, "sudo apt-get install lib32-glibc lib32-glib2"

latest Ubuntu Server x64... happy to install anything though

CaptainUnlikely · 24 Feb 2016 at 14:06

Try running
sudo apt-get install lib32-glibc lib32-glib2
in a terminal window first, if you still can't get work then you've exhausted my very small amount of knowledge. I have Ubuntu Desktop 14.04.5 LTS x64 crunching quite happily out of the box as does Ba so maybe go with that if you can't get the server edition working, there was mention on the Enigma forum of server distros not getting work but that may be due to them not including the required libraries by default.

Just switched everything over from SAT hope we can catch TSBT.

ozaudio · 24 Feb 2016 at 18:13

Will try my best, but Won't have everything running on it. Otherwise it keeps tripping my breaker, cant get that sorted for a few weeks.

Berserker · 24 Feb 2016 at 20:35

Uh oh!

Hopefully I've now got enough firepower to keep most of the incoming hordes at bay, but apologies to anyone who gets caught in the crossfire.

ozaudio · 24 Feb 2016 at 20:48

surprised biffa never signed up he's usually all guns blazing

texas_connection were are you at lol - guess you just read the forum

Texas_Connectio · 24 Feb 2016 at 21:14

Did you think I was going to go up or down?

I thought you would be going up given the number of cores you had

You might possibly get pushed down again as some move over from SAT but there are enough above you who are static that you will quickly stay on the 1st page

Up, fast. It's only taken me three days to break into the team top 10, and you've got more (and faster) cores than I.

If I could subvert our computer room, there'd be hope, but only for as long as it took (a) to be shown the exit door, or (b) for the whole thing to crash, which it does very well and very frequently already.

For whatever reason, it didn't like it, so I've installed Windows over the machine now and it's all good.
