Bonjour Dany, ma Francais et horrible... Il y a un probleme maintenant avec faitez de "work". Tout le monde a le meme problem.

Mais, si votre Mac ordinatour et PPC, ce n'est pas de "work" frequentment normalment. Mais je vu que tout votre ordinatours sont Intel. Bon. Pas des problems quand les "work" returner.

salut Dany,
pas de problème de WU dans mon cas...

peut-être ta connexion internet?

Hi, Mod.Sense -

Ah! So this is a system-wide problem, then? Do you know how long there've been no new work assignments for Rosetta, and when they might start up again?

Pour Dany (dans mon Francais déplorable!): est-ce-que Mod.Sense sais quand cette probleme mondiale avais commencer, est est-ce-qu'il sais quand Rosetta peut améliorer cette probleme?

Hi jaschanarveson,

Note the date on the previous posts - they were from two years ago. (Don't worry, I've gotten fooled by old posts myself.)

While we had issues earlier this month related to server moves, Rosetta@home should currently be up, running, and sending out work units.

If you go into the BOINCManager and click on the Messages tab, do you see any error messages?

(For what it's worth, the only way I can read French is with Google Translate.)

Hi, Rocco -

Interesting... my BOINC wasn't getting any tasks, then it got a couple, but hasn't been getting new ones for quite a while now. My "notices" tab shows no new messages, and when I click on "update" i just get "communication deferred"...

Thoughts?

I'm not Rocco but maybe I can help collect a little more info for him:

Are you attached to other projects?

Which version of BOINC?

I'm guessing since you mention a "Notices" tab you are at least using BOINC 6.x. If so the messages about server contact are in the Event Log. Find the Event Log with shift-command-E or in the Advanced drop down menu. Copy and paste into your next post.

As well, no new work units for a few days. No error messages:

Server is up. I reinstalleld Rosetta. Other projects running in Boinc and working.

Any help troubleshooting is appreciated.

Hi Martin, according to your task page you have one task in progress. Do you see it in your BOINC manager?

Note that the snippet of log you posted does not include a request for cpu tasks (Rosetta does not have gpu tasks). This is usually because BOINC has determined that it has sufficient work on hand at that particular moment to satisfy your queue. Know that version BOINC 7.x has a completely new scheduling mechanism having done away with the old debt system. Some folks have reported that BOINC initially appears to take projects in turn while it figures out how long each projects tasks take to complete. This could explain the gap in your task list.

I noticed that the completed task in your task list was returned a few hours past its deadline causing the issuance of an ultimately unnecessary duplicate workunit. If this happens occasionally this is no big deal. If it happens often you should consider increasing, just a bit, the resource share you assign to Rosetta.

Best,

Hello,
I'm installed the BOINC softwre in several PCs (any problem, the system run ok) but to install in two MAC, following occurs:
in the tab "prjects": "communication deferred: 23:59:00", I click to the "update" button and the system respond: "communication deferred: 00:04" and the system stop.
The log file is:

The MAC config is:
Power MAC G5, 2x2Ghz processor.
OSX 10,5,8, kernel Darwin 9.8.0

Any suggestion?
Thanks.

The line that says:

"Rosetta Mini is not available for your type of computer"

probably answers this question.

---

What is "Rosetta Mini", is possibly to use "Rosetta Beta" ? The version Beta of Rosetta meets the specifications for the PowerPC MAC.

Is possibly that the MAC Power PC compatibility has been lost, although the specs say otherwise.

Well, will install a virtual machines with Windows XP for each Mac.
Thanks
