Make sure you have the files created and writeable by everyone in your tftp directory to allow it to do uploads.its not saving the periodic backups like it was with the older version. I just checked the tftp log and theres no longer file transfer activity between it and the nodes, just the initial kernal stuff.

Edward2 wrote:Nope, it's not just you. The first application I launch at start-up is some form of temperature monitoring. It does no good to be folding at 100% if your cpu is throttling to under 50%. Dust bunnies never sleep.... Maybe it's just me.
slugbug wrote:That's odd. I'd try giving it a reboot at this point (leave the VM up, reboot from within the VM via the link on the webpage).Another weird problem surfaced. I have two instances of this running on one of my Quad cores. #1 shows an out of memory error but is still folding fine and completing work units. #2 appears to have crapped out but task manager shows the cpu load is still at 94-100%. I can't even access the setup page on #2 though. Shutting down the clients virtual player and reloading it has no affect. Any ideas?
notfred wrote:OK, for those of you without a thermally calibrated index finger, a new version is out. It will report temps on Intel Core processors and AMD K8 (N.B. NOT K10 i.e. Phenom - that's too new, try back in a couple of months once k10temp is in the Linux kernel mainline).
farmpuma wrote:70C is pretty toasty, although most folding GPUs will run that high unless their fan is cranked up manually and C2D CPUs don't start to throttle until they hit 90C. It's also possible that linux is reading core temp instead of the chip temp which most motherboard monitoring software reads and which always reports a lower temp.
Is the system which is reading in the mid 50s running the same work unit as the others? Is it on the bottom of the stack and sitting on the floor?
2 March 09: Add support for passkey.
