BOINCStats is now reporting Gaia stats. :dance:
Thanks Dataman I have updated the Project Overview. v:
I had a new badge (bronze ribbon) appear this morning. It is marked "commentary science". I have no idea what that means or how it relates to Gaia data. Unfortunately this appears to be yet another project where the Administrator(s) do not feel it is necessary to communicate with the lowly plebes who run their work. :thumbdown:
Congrats on the badge Dataman :thumbsup:
Congrats Dataman +1 :congrats :congrats
Congrats Dataman. :party: plus 1.
Data haul from Gaia space observatory offers a glimpse of what Earth's night sky will look like for 1.6 million years to come.

I wonder how this project differs from Milkyway@Home?
I never see much from the M@H team which is a bit disappointing.
I'm tempted to use my VM to start this project on 1 pc...... maybe.... dunno.1 cruncher just isn't enough and I don't think I can be bothered putting the VM/Linux on all my machines.
This project is active again.
I've just downloaded a bunch of new workunits.
I'll report back once I know if they complete successfully.
:greet
At first all my workunits failed after about 2 seconds.
To fix the problem I had to install libquadmath0 as follows ...
sudo apt install libquadmath0
After that all workunits completed & validated successfully.
How is Gaia going? I keep reading issues on the projects forum.
Just wanted to know if you guys are getting good results?
Not having any problems my way, it is only Linux though, so if you only have Windows machines maybe spin up a VM or do WSL and run a few cores.
I am just running a few cores due to the heat this way on two of my machines.
Regards
I'm not having any problems either.
I am running them on Ubuntu 24.04 in a virtual machine.
It's going well.
Project is still running
I might give this a try.
I too would be looking at running it on Ubuntu in a VM. Best I've got.
Might try it on one pc first.
We'll see.
Hmm, so they all had computational errors. 100%.
Not sure if that's because of the VM or not? I'll try a restart.
Edit... not sure why but I couldn't run in on Ubuntu in my VM. I haven't tried any other pc's yet.
I'd like to have a crack at this but might need some help by the looks.
Edit, edit ... Just read Daniels post. Trying that now.
Edit,Edit,Edit..... Wow! Daniel's suggestion worked like a charm still! Thank you!
Started running Gaia on a bare metal Debian Box. We could jump a ranks with this project if WU's hold up.
I've been wanting to crunch this project, but never realised it was Linux only
Alao Chooka did you see this thread? It shows the error you were getting
https://gaiaathome.eu/gaiaathome/forum_thread.php?id=101#746
Cheers, thank you.
I did see Daniel's post on that which was a great help too :thumbsup:
All my tasks errored out on Native Ubuntu but I had a look at the error and it was missing libquadmath0
so I installed it using sudo apt install libquadmath0 and it now seems that my tasks are working on Ubuntu.
We are in 9th place for credit with GAIA so we have done well and we aren't far off 7th place. After that will be a hard slog
I will revisit Gaia, I'm just trying to chip away at some other stuff right now.
I find I can't run Gaia plus my gpu's at the same time while using Linux on a VM.
This project does currently not provide tasks for Windows machines, correct?
That is correct (unfortunately)
I installed a virtual machine then loaded Ubuntu onto it as I'm a Windows man through & through.
Did what I had to in order to crunch. Wish it was Windows compatible though.
Gaia@Home has work btw. :thumbsup:
