OPEN DISCUSSION / Forum Registration - New Membe...

Last post by Dingo - April 28, 2026, 12:29:32 PM

We have had a lot of problems with bots and other non members trying to register.  It takes a long time to go through them and see if they are a member of the Team BOINC@AUSTRALIA using BOINC and usually have to email them to confirm there user name.

I have disabled Registration and now new members will need to register by sending an email to me at forum1 @ boinc-australia.net.  Just take out the spaces.

In the email provide the following:

1.  You must be a member of the Team and register with the forum under your BOINC user name.

2.  You must be currently processing tasks from a BOINC project and be a member of BOINC@AUSTRALIA.

3.  If you are not allowing your statistics to be sent to FreeDC or BOINCStats then you need to tell me the project(s) that you are a member of the Team in.
Cheers,

PROJECT:

Just wondering how are you meant to monitor things like CPU and GPU temp and usage.

You can try Mission Sensor
https://missioncenter.io/

Or PSensor

Great work pushing through with your ordeal

Thanks for the info guys.
I finally got it all working by installing an OS called Garuda OS.
I got a lot of help from Google AI.

You shouldn't need to as this should be created when BOINC is installed
Do a find command and search for it
find / -name "boinc-client.service"

This should show you were you can find it within your system.
You may just have to settle for crunching Numberfields or Primegrid on your GPU

No cant get it to work. says /usr/lib/systemd/system/boinc-client.service file does not exist.
Do you have to install the ROCm drivers first?

I prefer using Nano but you can use VIM or any other text editor

The easiest way to do it
Open up Terminal
Sudo nano /usr/lib/systemd/system/boinc-client.service
<Enter Sudo password>
Change ProtectSystem=strict to ProtectSystem=off
Press Ctrl+X to close and press 'y' to save

You can do it graphically
Open Text Editor
Open>Open New Document>Other Location
Computer/usr/lib/systemd/system/boinc-client.service

Make the change and save
