Does the linux client not work with the FreeBSD Linux emulation?

Does anyone have clear instructions how to make this emulation work for Rosetta?

Does the linux client not work with the FreeBSD Linux emulation?

Simple answer is no... Linux client of boinc not correct detect memory size (on my machine -4096Kb) - with this value Rosseta don't give work

I noticed in
http://www.boincstats.com/stats/host_os_stats.php?pr=rosetta&st=0&to=100

that there appear to be 15 freebsd machines working on rosetta. I however haven't been able to get my freebsd's to do it.

can anyone tell me how they got it working on freebsd? - when I try the linux client on freebsd it reports available memory wrongly (as reported by other poster) and so won't proceed getting work and if I build boinc using freebsd port collection the freebsd platform is not supported by rosetta so won't get work

if someone is doing it can they explain as I have several freebsd boxes that are under utilised and potentially available for rosetta

Using : FreeBSD 6.2 on Dual-P2/300 Compaq Proliant 1600 / 512Mb
I did: Obtain the Boinc source code and
build it on FreeBSD - still UNABLE to attach any projects Yet.

For FreeBSD there is Boinc_client and Boinc_cmd

There are a couple of thing needed to get BOINC and rosetta for Linux running on FreeBSD...
The BOINC client must compiled with the correct Linux platform string. Next step is to install the Linux compat packages and configure them. In the next step, you can attach to the project. At WCG is a detailed thread about this : http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread?thread=10249#88298
But, I am not shure if the performance is OK and if science application would produce valid results.

SIMAP and Leiden Classical has also native FreeBSD binaries. As I have seen, WCG has a FreeBSD beta test application.

Hi! Are there any updates on this topic? I'd like to run rosetta on two FreeBSD 7.X hosts (i386 and amd64).

Hi! Are there any updates on this topic? I'd like to run rosetta on two FreeBSD 7.X hosts (i386 and amd64).

Yes. I have tested the FreeBSD Linux Compat successfully and written a howto : http://www.dotsch.de/boinc/BSD_Linux-Compat_howto.html
The instructions are for older rosetta/minirosetta versions. So you need to update the app_info.xml...

Where do i get recent app_info.xml for rosetta (or what should i change in it)?

---

The app_info.xml normaly was offered as a link in the howto, but the link was broken. Sorry.

You need to change the version numbers between <version_num>, <file_name> and <name>.

This app_info.xml contains the current version numbers :

<app_info>
    <app>
        <name>rosetta_beta</name>
    </app>
    <file_info>
        <name>rosetta_beta_5.98_i686-pc-linux-gnu</name>
        <executable/>
    </file_info>
    <app_version>
        <app_name>rosetta_beta</app_name>
        <version_num>598</version_num>
        <file_ref>
            <file_name>rosetta_beta_5.98_i686-pc-linux-gnu</file_name>
            <main_program/>
        </file_ref>

        <app_name>minirosetta</app_name>

        <file_ref>
            <file_name>minirosetta_1.67_i686-pc-linux-gnu</file_name>
            <main_program/>
        </file_ref>
    </app_version>

</app_info>

It works!!! =)) Thank you very much, Dotsch.

Btw, where can i get linux binaries to try rosetta on freebsd for amd64?

---

Great !

Btw, where can i get linux binaries to try rosetta on freebsd for amd64?

I am not shure, if the Linux x64 binary is a native 64 bit binary, or only a 32 bit application which run with 32 bit compat libs on x64 Linux systems.

I have not tested the Linux compat on a x64 FreeBSD system in the moment. But, all I have seen in the web, it should exactly the same procedure like on FreeBSD i386. So you can run 32 bit Linux binaries on AMD64 FreeBSD systems...

---

lol. I should have tried before asking. Surprisingly rosetta ran just the same way as it did on my i386 machine.
But there should be a way to obtain fresh binaries.

---

But there should be a way to obtain fresh binaries.

sorry, I don't understand excatly.

---

i mean that the client apps (rosetta & minirosetta) should be periodically updated, so the only way i see is to start boinc on linux and let it fetch these binaries. Or is there a direct link where up-to-date versions of rosetta and minirosetta are available?

I have a problem on both (32 & 64 bits) FreeBSD machines with results reporting. boinc_client starts computation:
"Starting task xxx"
computates several hours
"Computation for task xxx finished"
"Output file xxx for task xxx absent"
So it sends to server "client error"
It seems it doesn't save something because if i close boinc_client and start again, it says "Restarting task" instead of "Resuming computation".
I have the following file permittions set on folders:
777 on /var/db/boinc
777 on /var/db/boinc/projects
777 on /var/db/boinc/projects/boinc.bakerlab.org_rosetta

I have checked your results...

It looks like Rosetta 5.98 works on i386 and x64.

But the minirosetta version made some problems. All tasks fail.
I guess you are using the wrong minirosetta version. In the log I see you are using 1.28. In the moment 1.71 is available. Could you please download the binary from [/url]https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/download/minirosetta_1.71_i686-pc-linux-gnu[/url] and adjust the version in the app_info.xml, like this one : [/code]
<app_info>
<app>
<name>rosetta_beta</name>
</app>
<file_info>
<name>rosetta_beta_5.98_i686-pc-linux-gnu</name>
<executable/>
</file_info>
<app_version>
<app_name>rosetta_beta</app_name>
<version_num>598</version_num>
<file_ref>
<file_name>rosetta_beta_5.98_i686-pc-linux-gnu</file_name>
<main_program/>
</file_ref>
</app_version>

<app>
<name>minirosetta</name>
</app>
<file_info>
<name>minirosetta_1.67_i686-pc-linux-gnu</name>
<executable/>
</file_info>
<app_version>
<app_name>minirosetta</app_name>
<version_num>167</version_num>
<file_ref>
<file_name>minirosetta_1.67_i686-pc-linux-gnu</file_name>
<main_program/>
</file_ref>
</app_version>

</app_info>[/code]

There is no method to automaticly update with a app_info.xml. But, the rosetta 5.98 version is still stable since several month. The minirosetta version has a lot of new releases.

By some reason minirosetta doesn't run or just exits on start. Although i don't see any crash messages.
