If I'm not wrong this error is related to some problem in rosseta's servers end that lose the WUs.

Is this normal? Can I do something in my end to fix it?

Regards.

Got one here too:

https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/result.php?resultid=156081140

Am I just unlucky or could it be me? I've had loads of client errors recently due to a CPURAMHD upgrade over the last few weeks. Still getting problems with that too. I've reverted the RAM and HD upgrade which seems to have settled things down quite a bit, but this is the first validation error I noticed.

Another one today :(

It's really annoying. Can't anybody tell me what's happening?

Regards

None of the tasks show any specific error. Yet it appears no result data was actually sent back, because no models are shown, and there's no shutdown messages. Do you see any messages about these tasks in your BOINC Manager's messages tab in the advanced view?

No, I can't think of anything to suggest on your end to try.

Hi Mod Sense, thanks for replying.

These are the messages related to the last WU that failed to validate:

Seems pretty normal to me, nothing sugests any abnormal happened to the WU.

Validate errors keep happening on a regular basis. Anyone is experiencing this same problem?

What I mean is that I'm getting one of this errors almost every day, and that it doesn't seem like compute errors, the WUs run complete, then error out when they are uploaded.

It's a waste of cycles methinks.

Well, that's it, two in a row today convinced me to leave this project. It's a pity though, because I think that the science behind it is very promising. But something have to be done to the SW.

I'll gladly reattach when the serious issues with WU validation are adressed.

Regards

PD: Sorry about the lousy english
