I'm running one sensor from the latest batch of detectors on my debian 64bit host at home. I created a udevd rule
I recognized that the vendor ID is not (yet) in the sensors.xml file that comes with the radac application. Is this preventing the sensor from beeing detected? And when is it fixed?
This is the host in question: 3063

Thanks, now the backlight is off at least. We'll see more in 2 hours when the first job is finished.

1.72 fixes the problem and I hope it will work for everyone, it wasn't supposed to be released yet (very little tests were done), however there was a bug in the USB code, without update the app would not see the 3.01 sensor even with sensors.xml patched.
During the weekend I'll patch & update the Raspberry Pi app (until then 3.01 on Pi is not supported).

Just in case you didn't hear about it, the latest BOINC client beta/alpha has changes to ARM architecture recognition. It won't be long before that becomes the released code. You might want to think about that and prepare. I heard about it in this post and this post at Asteroids@home project. I'm not sure if it has implications for R@H, it's just an FYI.

I got an email that my sensor was disconnected....no, its still there.
But, noticed that the app kept restarting. Finally tracked it down...and in stderr.txt it was saying every 11 seconds: "No heartbeat from client for 30 sec - exiting", and then restarting....

[11 seconds later - pid]: No heartbeat from client for 30 sec - exiting
. . .
Looking back through my tasks...things were working with v1.69 up to Jan 11. When it got a v1.70...which ran 3 times longer than v1.69 and got 0 credits. And, then v1.72 which have all been failing with "Error While Computing".
Though compiling the 7.0.28 boinc_client for my Linux box seems to have it working again. They don't make it easy to find or build non-HEAD client_releases....(missing m4 and .h and .in files at the client_release_7.0.28 level) (the version from boinc.berkeley.edu needs newer libraries than 10.04.4LTS has...and there was some other reason that I needed to upgrade the 6.12.33 to keep running projects on this 32-bit server, but it continues to work fine on my 64-bit server) Also wasn't obvious that I couldn't checkout client_release_7.0.28 until after I had checked out client_release_7.0....
Anyways...seems downgrading to the recommended 7.0.28 seems better than the development 7.0.44 version....
The Dreamer.
Wonder when my other sensor is going to arrive....

Nothing essential was changed in the app code between 1.69 and later Linux releases, so if there is a problem, it's coming from the latest BOINC API.
I'm already looking at this, however my Linux host seems to be unaffected so far. I'll check with latest development version of BOINC client.

Same problem at Einstein with their latest Linux apps, they had to rebuild them with an earlier api:

Hi
The new version has fixed the problem for me as well on Centos 64 Bit that was reported on this thread. http://radioactiveathome.org/boinc/forum_thread.php?id=172
I have noticed that the signatures are all screwed up though with the new version ??

App version does not affect sigs, your is not working now probably due to a glitch which happens sometimes on suspend/resume and then causes wrong scale on the graph (negative readings).

Thanks for the response it happened at the same time and I assumed, never should do that, it was the app. I should have known to just sit and wait a while.
Cheers
