1) Message boards : Number crunching : Problems with Rosetta version 5.43 (Message 32990) Posted 20 Dec 2006 by RebelRex Post: Swithching task/project works fine.. Its when bonic switches back to the "unfinished" WU is where mine hangs (says its running but its not)... Not sure its a Rosetta issue more than Boinc.. Chu Concerning the problem with Linux machines not processing after switching tasks/projects. I upgraded my Linspire Linux (Debian 3.0 [2.6.10]) to Freespire Linux (2.6.14) At this point the system has completed 3 WUs without any problems. I am also running SETI and WCG (Genome Comparsion) on that machine. So it appears at this point (to me) that if a user has this problem they need to upgrade or change to a different Linux OS. I will post IF this problem reappears. Jim
2) Message boards : Number crunching : Problems with Rosetta version 5.43 (Message 32944) Posted 20 Dec 2006 by RebelRex Post: I have only ran 5.43... For those of you who have reported the problem of R@H not starting after being paused on linux client, did you see this problem just for 5.43 application? I am running Linux, with Boinc 5.4.9 and Rosetta 5.43. Dual CPU AMD 2600MP with 2 Gig RAM. My graphics button is grayed out thus have no graphic options, which I understand is part of the Linux version. I do find my Rosetta work units "haulting" or saying its running but its not (no cpu activity), whenever I make changes within my Personal settings. Hitting UPDATE makes no difference. Reboot fixes. I also find the setting found inside your General Preferences of Switch between applications, that when Boinc switches from a one unit to another, the work unit that it left will never get worked on again until computer reboots... When it resumes back to that work unit (before the reboot) it will say "running" but again no CPU activity. I just stay away from going into my General Preferences to make changes and have set Switch Between Applications to 540 minutes to avoid Boinc from switching between work units. Takes about 5-6 hrs to complete work units so 540min is plenty... I've the same phenomena. I've running SUSE Linux 10.0 with 512BM RAM on an AMD Athlon 2400+. If BOINC resumes the rosetta task, rosetta will be shown as aktive, but TOP shows four threads that are doing nothing (no CPU consumption). If I stop BOINC and then restart it, rosetta will work, since next pausing is required. On start of BOINC I see some other mistake of rosetta. It ignores my settings for home: 2006-12-19 19:10:40 [---] Starting BOINC client version 5.4.11 for i686-pc-linux-gnu 2006-12-19 19:10:40 [---] libcurl/7.16.0 OpenSSL/0.9.8d zlib/1.2.3 2006-12-19 19:10:40 [---] Data directory: /home/cheffe/BOINC 2006-12-19 19:10:40 [---] Processor: 1 AuthenticAMD AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2400+ 2006-12-19 19:10:40 [---] Memory: 503.70 MB physical, 2.72 GB virtual 2006-12-19 19:10:40 [---] Disk: 107.32 GB total, 98.38 GB free 2006-12-19 19:10:40 [Einstein@Home] URL: http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/; Computer ID: 210695; location: home; project prefs: home 2006-12-19 19:10:40 [SETI@home] URL: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/; Computer ID: 1909898; location: home; project prefs: home 2006-12-19 19:10:40 [rosetta@home] URL: http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/; Computer ID: 362206; location: ; project prefs: default ^^ ^^ 2006-12-19 19:10:40 [---] General prefs: from SETI@home (last modified 2006-11-28 23:26:41) 2006-12-19 19:10:40 [---] General prefs: using separate prefs for home 2006-12-19 19:10:40 [---] Local control only allowed 2006-12-19 19:10:40 [---] Listening on port 31416 ^^ here I missed the data "home", as you can see for Einstein@home and seti@home.
