Not sure if this is related or not...

Crux of my problem is this, I have no graphic display, the screen saver is blank and when I hit the 'show graphics' button in the advanced view, it opens a window (title - minirosetta version 1.47 [workunit: cs_noe_ .... etc]) that is blank, and then becomes unresponsive within about 10 seconds and requires the process to be killed.

Dont know if you need this but..
PC : GenuineIntel Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.80GHz [x86 Family 15 Model 4 Stepping 9], 1gb RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT

New account/install, 44 mins old according to its first work unit.. Vista is a fresh build, <24hrs old...

The workunits are running/progressing along, I would just like to see what im crunching :)

I'm having the same (graphics) problem, but in XP 32-bit, in one of the hosts after the installation of mini 1.47

Same problem here. Also with XP 32bit. I guess that makes it three (edit now 4 ) of us.

The WU seems to be unaffected. The WU has only been processing for abut 15 minutes, but it is check-pointing regularly.

---

Same here. No graphics fur WU 196031795.

---

How odd... It just started working, I did nothing/made no changes.

Hi.

Yes odd indeed it seems to be this type of task has the problem, for me anyhow

the one that was affected has finished.

This one // cs_noe_fullw_nolin_homo_bench_cs_noe_abrelax_cs_hr1958_olange_5606_12051_0


EDIT // Now i have a t071_ task running and the graphics are fine, go figure.

I have a WinXP 32-bit machine with Norton Antivirus 2009 installed.
minirosetta v1.47 is known to have fixed many bugs but there is still a major fault in this version. The bug is that it is detected by my antivirus as a high
security risk threat and is automatically removed by the antivirus. So you download the new version and after some time you will find it evaporated by your antivirus. I dont know whether it really contains some virus or not but the fact is that there is something in thousand lines of code of minirosetta that the antivirus does not like. I hope that this issue will also be resolved soon and it is my message to the developers of minirosetta that fix this issue as early as possible because most of the new users will not run it again on their machines after being detected by the antivirus as a threat.

So it is bad to hear that the new version still contains a major bug. :-(

why not set your antivirus to manual and then when it grabs minirosetta you can tell it to ignore that kind of file. we all know minirosetta is a safe application. it just NAV and other antivirus software that thinks it has a infection. I bet if you ran housecall from trendmicro you would find no problems. I run AVG free and none of the tasks have ever triggered that program and my system is virus free.

Minirosetta apparently "looks like" malware, whether it actually is or not. This applies to all versions I've run, thru v1.47.

I run BOINC on two WinVista (God help me) boxes: one a 32 bit Sony with ZoneAlarm Pro|ESET NOD32 for security; the other a 64 bit Sony with Kaspersky Internet Security 2009.

On the first machine, NOD32 Antivirus thinks the Minirosetta .exe either contains a viral signature or looks bad heuristically (their UI doesn't say which). I have to add an exclusion to get the thing out of quarantine, every time a new version is released. Interestingly, ZoneAlarm Pro's application module hasn't had a problem with it.

On the 64 bit machine, Kaspersky's Application Control module gives Minirosetta's executable a Threat Rating of "Potentially Dangerous" with a heuristic Danger Index score of 82. I have to manually override Kaspersky and move Minirosetta out of the "Untrusted Application" zone, to allow it to execute. (By comparison, Rosetta Beta 5.98 has a DI of 12, as does SETI's recently released Astropulse 5.0. SETI's regular Enhanced v6.03 has a DI of zero.)

I realize that heuristic analysis is as much art as science, but both ESET and Kaspersky are rated at or near the top of their field. Of 10 project hosts I subscribe to, with over 25 project executables, Minirosetta is the ONLY one that has ever sent up a red flag to my security suite(s). Since most folks leave their security suite (if any) on autopilot, there are potentially many testers who never get to run Minirosetta because the .exe goes immediately into a black hole. Somewhere in those 200,000 lines of code, something apparently looks funky.

That's weird, because I have NOD32 on one of my PC's and it doesn't have a problem with rosetta. I changed to Avast Pro... and still no problems :S

computer 964014 is less than their new recomendation of 512 memory. this must be one of the tasks they were talking about.

December 10, 2008
We are now recommending systems with at least 512MB of memory. The majority of tasks will run fine with 256MB but some tasks will involve larger proteins that will use more memory.

computer 965938 is having a lockfile issue, there has been alot of discussion in 1.45 thread about this. you have to delete the empty slot folders in the boinc slot folder located in the projects folder. do a search in forums about lockfiles. it is discussed heavily in the 1.45 thread.

only one other computer had an issue, but that is due to defective task.

HoHo kids!

And Happy Holidays to everyone at the Baker Lab, as well as my fellow crunchers.

Like some other people mentioned, the WU titled

"cs_noe_fullw_nolin_homo_bench_cs_noe_abrelax_cs_flua_olange_5605_43_0"

appears to be running fine, but when I click "show graphics" the window becomes unresponsive and requires the app to restart. the other work units are working without any problem.

I'm running vista64. I am running BOINC 64-bit edition. boincmgr.exe and boinctray.exe are running in 64-bit mode. however, minirosetta_1.47_windows_x86_64.exe is currently running in 32 bit mode. it says *32 next to the name, which I belive to indicate that it is running in 32-bit mode.

Not sure if this is related or not...

Crux of my problem is this, I have no graphic display, the screen saver is blank and when I hit the 'show graphics' button in the advanced view, it opens a window (title - minirosetta version 1.47 [workunit: cs_noe_ .... etc]) that is blank, and then becomes unresponsive within about 10 seconds and requires the process to be killed.

I've the problem with Norton Antivirus 2009 too, it delete minirosetta exe file because it's a "high security risk threat".
I entered Boinc path in Norton exclusion paths to solve it, but it would be better if Rosetta staff talk to Norton staff to avoid this problem...

Question on memory size..

Greetings!
First of all, thanks to all of the developers for debugging the code.

I have a question about the memory size and page fault rate for mini-rosetta 1.47 .

I was looking at the windows (XP) task manager and looking at the memory size and page fault rate.

I admit that I do not know what it all means - and would like to ask the forum for an explanation that would help me..

Environment: Here is what BOINC says:
Processor: 2 GenuineIntel Intel(R) Core(TM) Duo CPU T2300 @ 1.66GHz [x86 Family 6 Model 14 Stepping 12]
Processor features: fpu tsc pae nx sse sse2 mmx
OS: Microsoft Windows XP: Professional x86 Editon, Service Pack 3, (05.01.2600.00)
Memory: 2.00 GB physical, 4.87 GB virtual
Disk: 107.41 GB total, 78.57 GB free

Here is what the Task manger is showing for mini-rosetta 1.47
Mem usage: 184,944K ( Varying between 170,000K and 247,000K while I watched.)
PF delta: 3,228 ( in a three second period)
VM size: 199,344K ( and moving up to 243,000 K)

I was running 2 Boinc projects at once: Rosetta and WCG-clean energy.
If I suspend all others so that only Rosetta is running, the page faults are more sporadic, mostly zero, then up to 6,375 in the three second period.

With Boinc only running the Rosetta task, the task manager says:

Commit charge (K)
total: 788748
limit: 5107808
peak: 1319708

Physical Memory (K)
total: 2,095,532
available: 1,127,112
System cache: 838,252



Bottom Line - I assumed that the pf rate is not good.
Do you know of anything I can tweak to help??

THANK YOU!!

Can you afford to add more physical memory to that machine? That should at least decrease the page fault rate, although I don't know if it's the cheapest way to do this.

Here's a good place to find out what memory fits that machine, and how much it can hold:

http://www.crucial.com/

However, note that your version of Windows has a limit on how much of the installed memory it can actually use, probably about 3.5 GB.
