Help installing CUDA version

[jim2006193]

I'm kinda new the this on linux.  I'm not to sure how to install this custom version of seti to use CUDA. I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 with a 9800gtx.  I can't even find where to put this file, setiathome-CUDA-6.08.x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.

Also I already installed the CUDA libs, in lib64 or w/e

Welcome aboard

1) If you use BOINC from synaptic uninstall it, it is probably old. Go to http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download_all.php and get 6.10.17. Install it to your /home directory.
2)  Make sure all the appropriate cuda libs from 2.3 toolkit

libcudart.so
libcudart.so.2
libcudart.so.2.2
libcufft.so
libcufft.so.2
libcufft.so.2.2

are in the projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu directory.

3)  Edit accordingly your ld.so.conf or the corresponding ld-something file of your distro with the above location of the cuda libs and then run ldconfig to update the cache.

4. The cuda executable (setiathome-CUDA-6.08.x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) goes also to the projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu directory. Copy also the app_info.xml file there.

projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu

where do i find that dir?

[jim2006193]

nvm, found it

[jim2006193]

this is what i get in the boinc client:

[error] Application file libcudart.so.2 missing signature

Any ideas?

[sunu]

Please post your app_info.xml and a link to your host.

What driver do you use?

Ok, reformated, had other problems, anyway, got past that, how do I know if its running on my GPU? it said it was fetching work for the cpu and gpu. Does that mean it's working?

[sunu]

You can check your graphics card temperature. It should be a lot hotter that idle. You can also check your processes with System Monitor or top.

[jim2006193]

Thats what I thought to, so I checked it and its was still at 60 :/

[jim2006193]

Ok, in the message tab it seems to be asking for work for the GPU specifically, but then it gets 0 new tasks, with a message from the server: No work sent.

In your boinc directory create a file called cc_config.xml and put this inside:

<cc_config>
    <log_flags>
        <sched_op_debug>1</sched_op_debug>
        <work_fetch_debug>1</work_fetch_debug>
    </log_flags>
    <options>
    </options>
</cc_config>

Restart boinc, let it run for a while and post here the messages.

By the way sunu, I appreciate all the help you have given me!

[sunu]

I don't see anything bad. There was a shortage of workunits for the last week or so. Maybe this is it. Maybe we should wait and see. Can you also post the messages when boinc starts?
