SETI MB CUDA for Linux
sunu:
Why do you need boinc user and other stuff? Keep the garbage out of your system. Install it in your home directory and go from there.

In windows service(protected) install required for BOINC work w/o user log on. If linux can launch user's apps (installed in particular user home dir ) w/o user logon - good.
Also, it's good when some kind of autologon enabled. But if PC sits idle and just awaits when user come and do logon - it's not good.

My rig is running ubuntu server with no x-window, stripped down kernel (using localmodconfig - 9MB kernel) and boinc running as service. Add some startup script to initialize cuda and other stuff. Everything is running perfectly now, just boinc running as root - i don't think its a risk as i don't have anything in this rig - just pure cruncher :)

You could be running BOINC under non-root account and just run that renice script as root. Theoretically that would make your rig even more safe.

Seems benign though as most results have validated. Is there any particular reason for this error being reported and app seemingly still operating OK?

Can anybody comment on the error above? I don't think I've got any results without this 'error' while almost all of them validated OK. It's annoying to see thousands of lines of error while meaningful information gets truncated.

If you read the first dozen pages of this thread, you'll see that the original 32bit Linux Cuda app was broken, it might be that the x86, 2.2, vlar-kill app isn't totally reliable eithier,
If you can, try swapping to a 64bit OS and use the 64bit app instead.

Edit: The old broken 32bit Linux Cuda app really should be removed from the first post.
