[QUOTE=Dubslow;283013]Nuts. Now to fix mine :razz:[/QUOTE]

Do you use Cuda 3.2 just like me?

No, you're not using 3.2 anymore. Note the driver/runtime versions. I have the 3.2 IDE installed like you, but mfaktc could never find the /usr/local/cuda/lib, even when LD_LIBRARY_PATH was set properly, so I had to use a workaround to get it to find the right .so file. I'm using the same workaround for .18 and instead it tells me runtime version 0.0, and driver version... well just go check the previous page.

Dubslow:

actually I've no clue whats wrong but can you check this:[LIST][*]which nvidia driver do you have installed? (run e.g. 'nvidia-smi -a')[*]did you check 'ldd mfaktc-lin-64' or 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./bin ldd mfaktc-lin-64'?[/LIST]Oliver

Feature request for v0.19:

Can you make it (optionally) write something like "no work left in worktodo.txt" when it runs out of work? I tend to look at the results files for all my computers once a day or so, but I may not always notice when it runs out of work -- a notice in the results file would make it immediately obvious.

I realize 270 is very old, but the .run files that NVidia provides to update the drivers have never worked for me; they wind up breaking the GUI. I install the package nvidia-current to fix it. This is Ubuntu 11.04.

Would installing the 4.1 SDK help?

Can you try to upgrade the driver: [URL="http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/4_0/drivers/devdriver_4.0_linux_64_270.41.19.run"]devdriver_4.0_linux_64_270.41.19.run[/URL]

[QUOTE=Dubslow;283118]Would installing the 4.1 SDK help?[/QUOTE]
Well, if everything is right the CUDA SDK and CUDA Toolkit is [B]not[/B] needed to run the precompiled mfaktc executable. You'll need a proper driver, nothing more.

Not sure if I found a bug or did something silly. I was playing around with [url=http://mersenne-aries.sili.net/252674011]M252674011[/url] (had 8 known factors, I got excited when I found another [strike]one[/strike] [strike]two[/strike] three, but they were all composites of smaller known factors :sad:). But I ran into this:[quote]no factor for M252674011 from 2^68 to 2^69 [mfaktc 0.18 barrett79_mul32]

Hello James,

you have just discovered a bug. The good news is that it is not critical. I guess because of the short runtime there was no checkpoint written at all...

Yes, I get this too if no checkpoints were written. Nothing serious.

I've just noticed that the text is wrong, too. Those checkpoint files are no longer named "mfaktc.ckp"...
