I have the strangest problem with 5.25. According to Zone Alarm it's trying to access internet on its own. It says Rosetta_5,25_windows_intelx86.exe is trying to access internet. And it doesn't matter if I allow it to do that or not. The work unit stops running at the same time.

If I suspend that work unit the results page will show client error for that work unit. If I close Boinc and restart it again the work unit starts to compute again from a previous check point, but soon it will halt again. I've had a few blue screens as well and had to reboot.

For the record: 5.25 is the first version I've had any problems with.

list of my results

Here is another one:

t329__MAPBACK_CLUSTER02_CASP7_ABRELAX_SAVE_ALL_OUT_CONTACT_ncap_hom001__826_17779
https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/workunit.php?wuid=22976377


It was running for four days.
The messages show it being paused and resumed at one hour intervals.
But the accumulated time was stuck at 7 hr 48 mins.

Stopped and restarted boinc, the accumulated time began increasing, and the work unit finished normally about 30 minutes later.

This occurred on a Linux box different from the previous one.

PILOT ERROR... LOST WUs

I have apparently "lost" a number of WUs--all sent on July 4. These will not report from from host Computer ID "246746". These WUs are as follows:

My regrets to all; I believe that this was a one-time occurrence! Happy crunching! :-)

I just loaded BOINC on a Linux system (SuSE 10.1, 2.6.16.13-4-smp) and started Rosetta. My first two work units both seen to have failed, although I got credit.

Also, noticed this in the messages section.

Anything going on that we should be worried about if we have clients that are not looked at on a daily basis?

---

John, I have no way to be certain either, but thought I'd point out that so far as work unit naming goes, I wouldn't read too much in to the word "fix" any more then the word "relax" or "jump".

happy crunching :-)

The client still cannot endure a normal computer restart for Windows Updates (or other restarts) without forgetting where it was, turning an error, and starting a new job.

Screen Saver Freezes when key pressed or mouse moves. ONLY HAPPENS if rosetta is running (does not happen with seti) and if preferences are set to not run when computer is active. I suspect that the "not running" gets triggered before the screen saver has gone away, locking the screen saver. The mouse cursor still moves but no processing is being done and the screen saver does not go away. If "run always" is set problem does not happen.

I did notice at one point yesterday that no graphic was showing up on the screensaver. Don't know if that's a factor.

With the recent round of Windows fixes/updates I've had several machines do the same thing on reboot, though I think it's more a matter of files getting corrupted than forgetting where it was... It's probably from BOINC shutting down on command and Rosetta stays running...

I just had another WU crash on my PowerMac G4 500Mhz machine:

Sat Jul 15 19:10:51 2006|rosetta@home|Unrecoverable error for result t349__CASP7_MINHELIX_ABRELAX_SAVE_ALL_OUT_BARCODE_truncate1_hom001__965_55051_1 (process exited with code 131 (0x83)

This is the same error code that Rosetta reported last time a WU crashed on my PowerMac. This new phenomena of compute errors on my Mac is only a 5.25 issue - the last version never errored out on the Mac. Here's the new work unit in question: 24413558

What does this error code mean?

---

A t354 error (signal 11) on Linux.

https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/result.php?resultid=28762369

Next Rosetta WU failed to start after error. Restarting BOINC fixed that problem. Running 100% Rosetta (CPDN suspended) on this machine (HT).

Illegal function - often that's a missing DLL but that cannot be the reason after 8 hours :

<message>Unzul�ssige Funktion. (0x1) - exit code 1 (0x1)
</message>
<stderr_txt>
# random seed: 3340663

ERROR:: Exit at: .dock_structure.cc line:401

Probably a memory shortage, the box has only 512MB but 4 tasks running plus some paused. I will finish the Einsteins that still occupy some RAM and set them to "no new work", so the Rosettas only have to share the memory with one Sulphur model.

Here is another one:

t321__CASP7_ABRELAX_SAVE_ALL_OUT_nterm_hom004__685_15852
https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/workunit.php?wuid=23020078


It was running for six days.
The messages show it being paused and resumed at one hour intervals.
But the accumulated time was stuck at 8 hr 16 mins.

When I stopped boinc, I noticed that the process for that work unit remained in the process list.

I rebooted the machine and the work unit finished immediately.

This occurred on a Linux box different from the previous ones.

OT: I see your result shows "Graphics are disabled due to configuration"

I want that too, how did you do that? Is there a "lite" version for download somewhere?

"Graphics are disabled due to configuration"

I'd assume that is the comment in the log when you have your system setup with Boinc running as a service install. (Mine should give the same message.)

I use the boinc Alpha test version 5.5.6 and when installed as a service and initially started, I see the following in my "messages" tab which tells me graphics won't be used:
