Re: [Condor-users] Win7 and kbdd daemon

["John (TJ) Knoeller" <johnkn@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Todd just reminded me - There was a bug in all versions of Condor prior to 7.6 where if you restarted condor while a user was logged on, the KBDD would not restart and would not know how to talk to the restarted Condor daemons, so it would cease to work until you logged off and back on again.

So the matrix is:

For all versions of Condor before 7.4.4
    Use the MSI installer and the KBDD will work until you restart Condor then it will fail until you logoff and back on.

For Condor 7.4.4 until 7.6.0
    Use the MSI installer _or_ add KBDD to the DAEMON_LIST and KBDD will work until you restart (see above).

For Condor 7.6.0 and later
    Use the MSI installer _or_ add KBDD to the DAEMON_LIST, there are no known bugs with the KBDD

Hi All

 

Just wondering if someone has a summary of the status of the condor_kbdd daemon

with regards to working correctly for Win7.

 

What version/s of 7.4 and 7.6 correctly detect keyboard activity on Win7, and what (if anything)

special needs to be done to config files (or the registry) to allow it to work?

 

I have searched the user-list archives and wiki but am finding it difficult to

dig out this information.

 

Thanks for  any info/help.

 

Cheers

 

Greg

 

P.S. Our "installs" are not via MSI installs but via extracting and copying

the zip file
