The zeroeth-order question (i.e., most important) is "are they doing good science"? The answer seems to be yes, very much so. How fast they do it is important, but if they are happy with the results they are getting, then it is not for me to tell them how to spend their time and resources. I would not choose a new project just because it can crunch faster, though I would prefer a project that uses AVX2 if I can find it.

You can go still faster with GPUs, but that limits the type of code you can write and the type of science you can perform. Whether it is worth that trade off is up to the Rosetta project. There is room in the DC world for both types of projects, and I do both.

+1, EXACTLY!

What fixes or features appear in 3.65 please?

Thanks. I'll be starting on them some time tomorrow when my buffer of 3.62s complete. Fingers crossed.

Hi.

I've had 15 tasks so far error the same, one after the other.

The rig is running Ubuntu 14.04lts x64 with Boinc 7.2.42.

And it has 32bit libs installed for some other projects that need them.

Hi.

I hope there is a fix for this error on ubuntu rigs, I only have a few 3.62 tasks left on my other rigs( about a days worth ) the rig that got all the errors was the first to get the 3.65 app & I have stopped it getting any new work, no point with all the errors.

I'm not going to let my other rigs update to a new app until a fix is out for linux/ubuntu.

I just experienced the same error on 3.65 and had to install libglut.

Running Fedora 22 it was:
"dnf install freeglut" Fedora 22
"yum install freeglut" pre-Fed22

One way you can tell if you are missing the libraries is to go to the Boinc Rosetta project directory and perform an "ldd" on the minirosett *gnu files.

If you are missing the libglut.so library, then you see the "not found" in the ldd print out.

Hi.

Well it was supposed to be fixed on Ralph already, guess not!

I agree.
I had seen that discussion before and was surprised to see the problem surface on my machine. It was an easy fix for me and I wanted to point out the issue here for those encountering it.



It took 4 hours for Rosetta to start sending jobs again after the hiccup, but it will take some time to fill the pipe on the 16 CPU machine. Resetting and removing/reattaching the project made no difference. Rosetta said ... "See you again in 4 hours" ... 8-)
14 Oct 2015 7:14:54 UTC ..... next new job sent by Rosetta
14 Oct 2015 3:14:16 UTC ..... last job with the library error

Hello

I did run lld and found the libGLU was missing - I have had a HUGE amount of failed units prior to this. Hopefully this helps ?

Cheers

I just happened to set up a PC with Dotsch-UX today and thought I'd done something wrong as it kept erroring out with libGLU errors. I reinstalled and the same happened - now I know why! If I'd done it on any other day it would have been fine...

Never mind - hopefully it will work tomorrow!

had the same problem and after installing freeglut3 'sudo apt-get install freeglut3' in Ubuntu 14.04 it worked for me again.

Cheers, Chris

There's obviously an issue with the linux app. I'm looking into it now.

Hello Guys

I am on Debian 8 and used the following files to fix the problem (I have now had several work units complete successfully)

apt-get install freeglut3 libglu1-mesalibglu1-mesa

cheers

I had to do "sudo apt-get install freeglut3" on three of my Ubuntu rigs to get them working here again.

Not good.

Installed libglut on my machine, let's see if it works.

At least now we have a true 64-bit Linux binary. It is so exclusive, you have to install a non-default library lol.

EDIT: How does one make it so that this missing library is sent by R@H so as to avoid having EVERYONE running Linux do the apt-get command to get things running smoothly?

How about removing that nonsensical eye candy altogether? Who needs it?

What if I want to set up a a cruncher with a minimum footprint? Maybe start Linux, BOINC and Rosetta from a USB thumb drive or possibly boot via PXE so my computer doesn't have to have an HDD?

These GUI libraries pull in a lot of dependencies. What for?

The libraries are there exactly for the screen saver mode eye-candy. 8-) Many people like the screensavers.

Rosetta can WEAK link the libraries and avoid the load errors and successfully execute in cruncher mode.

The pointer to the weakly linked symbol gets loaded with a NULL pointer. The code checks for a NULL pointer and print the error. The number-cruncher versions never call that code so it is only ever executed for eye-candy mode.

They could even use this NULL pointer detect missing libraries and to display a message in your log that says "can you please load libglut for your screen saver?".

That thing can't even spell my name. Reason enough to drop it. :-p



Seriously, who needs that tumbling, spinning, colorful ****?
