Post: Open the Software&Updates application and open the Updates tab and make sure you have the "Notify me of a new Ubuntu version" toggled to "For long-term support versions" Thank you Keith. Much appreciated. |

Post: I have 2x 3900x Thank you. "They are unhidden so You may check." Haha yes.... nothing spells "wanker" more than people who hide their hardware :) I'll never be one of those elite tossers. Not much difference in run times. It seems to be going ok now although..... the 3950X is lagging behind my other systems. Can anyone tell me how to update Ubuntu from 18.04.6 LTS to say 20.04.6 LTS? I've tried sudo apt update & sudo apt upgrade but that didn't work. I'm hoping the pop up box will open at some stage advising me there's a newer version to update to but that's not happening. There must be a way to update from one build to another without installing Ubuntu all over again. |

Post: How hot is your CPU? If you running many WUs, the temperature is maybe high. Thus, the clock is reduced and the calculation time is longer.The traffic on the bus is then also high, with so many cores calculating at the same time. That slows everything down a bit. But hey, the output is still enormous! Abot 87 degrees. Running at 3.91Ghz which seems pretty good. |

Post: Thank you! So it seems I have everything correct running version 20 of Ubuntu. Still getting some shocking times though. I currently have 2 wu's which have been running for 6.5hrs which seems odd. I'm running BOINC at 95% with no GPU work running. Generally it looks like 2hrs/wu on the 3950X :( |

Post: Ryzen 5950x running a VM & Ubuntu 20.04.6 Ubuntu GLIBC 2.31-0ubuntu9.9 the run times are ranging from 2,133.50 sec out to 8,752.44 sec. Is that normal to have such a large variation in run times? or is it the VM/Ubuntu combo? I know that native wins hands down. I'm trying to stick with the VM. |

Post: I use Win10 and orcal VB with Linux Mint Mate 20.x. It works very fine. Xfce would be enough, too, i think. Thanks! All but one of my systems currently has GLIBC 2.31. I'll try to upgrade the system that doesn't have it and see if there's any difference. |

Post: Hi all, I'm returning to Universe@Home and was wondering if there's any preference with which version or VM or Ubuntu runs best? I'm a Windows user so I use a VM to crunch U@H however the times look pretty long for the VM. It's been a long while since I crunched, so I don't know if the credit amount changed or if I'm running and crappier version of Ubuntu or Oracle VM.? Currently using 5.2.44 & Ubuntu 18.04.6 & 20.04.5 Pretty atrocious credit by the looks atm. I thought someone might know a combo that works well for them. Other VM users have any advice? |

Post: The drop in credits by everyone is simply because the project halved the credits earned a couple of months ago. I did not know this. What I DO know is that Windows absolutely SUCKS at running Universe@Home!! Man its bad! I mean really bad. I have 136 threads producing around 500k/day. That's what my 3950X would be close to producing if I ran Linux (which I won't be) That's a real shame. |

Post: I'm a bit concerned that might be too much for me rsNeutrino. I've struggled just to navigate Linux lol. Virtualisation is enabled on my machine and I can see how to turn on Hyper V but I don't fully understand what will happen. Also, if VM won't work inside Hyper-V, how do I run Linux which is installed on the VM? |

Post: Hi Ian&Steve, Yes Keith warned me of that. Gee that's some great equipment you guys have there. I regularly check the stats and some of you guys (especially TSBT) as slaughtering a few projects at the moment! My pockets aren't deep enough to keep up with all that hardware lol. It will be a big task for me to change BIOS settings and install a VM/Ubuntu across all 6 of my crunching pc's. There's some real merit it fewer machines with a ton of cores. Especially regarding Windows updates too. Urgh....good old Windows. Have a good weekend. |

Post: I ran a few task using the VM and Ubuntu. Times aren't as low as yours Keith but they went from 8000 - 9000 sec with Win 10 down to a more consistent 5300 sec with VM /Ubuntu. An interesting exercise. |

Post: Hi rsNeutrino, Thank you very much for taking the time to reply! I didn't know about any of what you mentioned, including the 3x3 white dots! lol. I had to do an update and also at the bottom of the page for the 3x3 dots select "All" applications instead of "frequent" The BOINC Icon was hiding in there. I can now see that I can add projects!!! YAY!! I've run out of time to do more today but so far I'd like to say a HUGE thank you for taking the time to reply and help :D !!! Really appreciated. I'll start with baby steps before looking to change to Hyper-V. I have no idea how to use that if it's build into my Windows 10.One thing at a time lol. I'll keep you updated on the progress. Thanks once again! Chooka |

Post: Thanks for the reply Keith/rsNeutrino. Yes all my machines are Windows . I found some time to install a VM and with much pain I worked out how to install Ubuntu..... the issue rsNeutrino, I have is that I've never even looked at Linux before. I've no idea how to do the most basic things with it. For instance, when I downloaded the BOINC program, it was just a shell extension. I got stuck on that. Then a team mate told me what to type into a terminal to install it. (I had to find out what a terminal was) (sudo apt install boinc-client boinc-manager) I couldn't find that simple information ANYWHERE! Not even on the BOINC website! Ok...got it installed...or did I? I now have no idea where it was installed. Again, with help I was told I'd find the files in a usr/bin folder. It took me quite a while just to FIND that folder! Grrrrr. I've found it and I see some files called BOINC and BOINCMGR etc ..... but I've no idea how to run the program. This is like teaching a 5year old.... I feel completely out of my depth trying to figure out a program that most other people seem to know quite easily. **sigh...... so I have made progress but have hit another wall. I find I have to chip away at it because I find it all a bit depressing.... especially when you are used to the simplicity of Windows when it comes to installing software. Appreciate your help fellow crunchers. This baby will at least learn some things about Linux I guess. :( |

Post: Yeah I understand that, thanks Keith. I MIGHT.... try installing it side by side with one of my crunchers but my every day rig is my 3950X so I definitely won't be installing it on this machine. I imagine Linux and Universe@Home is one of the projects with the largest difference between credits. Are there any other projects? (I'm not talking about Linux specific projects like MLC, just projects that produce more credits than Win10) TIA |

Post: Thanks for the suggestion Keith but it sounds too technical for me. Its actually your 3950X that I'm comparing mine to. Mine's close to 400k/day, your is nearly 1.3Mil/day. MASSIVE difference. :( I'll just crunch elsewhere. |

Post: Well sadly for me I'll need to decide on crunching elsewhere then or put up with the woeful credits. I won't be installing Linux :( Choice is mine I guess but it's a real shame for Windows users. |
