Hello.

Hostname: boinc
BAM! ID: 551749
BAM! Host ID: Can't find this info.

I'm experiencing the following problem with a Proxmox Linux VM running Debian 7.1 and kernel 2.6.32-32-pve with Boinc Client 7.0.27.

Unless I set -set_network_mode and --set_run_mode always, the client will just sit there and do nothing despite being given the following work preferences through a preset which I've verified is set within BAM! for the affected host:

Work preference " Dedicated Computing VM "
Description
Dedicated Computing VM

Processor usage
Do work while computer is running on batteries?
Yes
Do work while computer is in use?
Yes
Use GPU while computer is in use?
Yes
'In use' means mouse/keyboard activity in last
0 minutes
Suspend work if no mouse/keyboard activity in last
Disabled
Do work only between the hours of
no restriction
Leave applications in memory while preempted?
No
Switch between applications every
999 minutes
On a multi-core system, use at most
1024 processors
On a multi-core system, use at most
100 % of the processors
Maximum CPU time usage
100 %
Run only when CPU usage is less than
No limit

Storage and memory usage

45 GB
Leave at least free
1.5 GB
Use no more than
80 % of total disk space
Write to disk at most every
30 seconds

Is there anything wrong with the above settings? As one can see, there request and reply xmls doesn't match what I've set above.




Are the files in /etc/boinc-client supposed to be this lacking of information?

root@boinc:/etc/boinc-client# cat cc_config.xml
<!--
This is a minimal configuration file cc_config.xml of the BOINC core client.
For a complete list of all available options and logging flags and their
meaning see: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/ClientMessages
-->
<cc_config>
<log_flags>
<task>1</task>
<file_xfer>1</file_xfer>
<sched_ops>1</sched_ops>
</log_flags>
</cc_config>

root@boinc:/etc/boinc-client# cat global_prefs_override.xml
<!--
This configuration file global_prefs_override.xml for the BOINC core client
can be used to override global preferences locally. For a complete list of
all preferences which can be overridden see:

<global_preferences>
</global_preferences>


Any help is greatly appreciated.
