Problems and Technical Issues with Rosetta@home
(Message 108008)
Posted 27 Jan 2023 by Bryn Mawr Post: As I said months ago, the project has become trash. No official cares about it. It's abbandoned. You're wasting your time and money. In what way am I wasting my time and money? My preferred projects are Rosetta, WCG and CPDN with a couple of backups. They’re all set up to grab tasks from each project as and when they can - if Rosetta doesn’t give me work the others will and my machines are always busy. No waste of time and full return for money spent. |

Posted 18 Dec 2022 by Bryn Mawr Post: If the server doesn't run, nobody can download wus, it doesn't matter if you are running linux or windows. Just accept it. If you still have running wus, they were downloadad before the server stopped. I tried that line but apparently there are people running Windows native who are receiving WUs despite the server being down. I do not understand how but as confirmation the outstanding queue has dropped from 6,340,000 to 6,320,000 over the past day - at that rate it must be intermittently sparking, it cannot be a continuous feed surely. |

Posted 17 Dec 2022 by Bryn Mawr Post: Yes, the Scheduler is allocating work and therefore the system sees it as “In Progress” but the Download Server is down and therefore the users are not getting the work whether they be Windows of Linux. Then I apologise for my misinformation, in my defence I don't have a Windows box so I was working from first principles :-) |

Posted 17 Dec 2022 by Bryn Mawr Post: Regardless of the Server Staus page, work is being sent out. Yes, the Scheduler is allocating work and therefore the system sees it as “In Progress” but the Download Server is down and therefore the users are not getting the work whether they be Windows of Linux. The Ready to Send queue is at 29,000 and should stay that way until the Queued figure on the front page drops to zero, the fact that it is steady at 6,340,000 or thereabouts shows that no work is making it to the volunteers. |

Posted 16 Dec 2022 by Bryn Mawr Post: Allocating the 14 tasks to you is done by the Scheduler which then passes them to the Download Server to action. The Scheduler has told you they’re coming but the DS is not there to send them. If the task has not downloaded then you’ve done no work and used very little bandwidth - Rosetta has lost out but that’s their incentive to get the server running again. |

Posted 16 Dec 2022 by Bryn Mawr Post: I received what looked like a download of 22 new Rosetta tasks (in more than one bunch), but they do not download. Allocating the 14 tasks to you is done by the Scheduler which then passes them to the Download Server to action. The Scheduler has told you they’re coming but the DS is not there to send them. |

Posted 1 Nov 2022 by Bryn Mawr Post: No, I don't think so, it's not standard BOINC page.On this page you can easily see if some tasks are available and how the supply was in the past 90 days. Oh well, the link is useful anyway so many thanks. |

Posted 31 Oct 2022 by Bryn Mawr Post: Not sure as the front page and server status page haven't been updated quite yet, but another batch of tasks seem to be coming through Sorry to be awkward but is there an equivalent showing the figures from the front page rather than the status page? |

Posted 12 Oct 2022 by Bryn Mawr Post: Just had Acronis Active Protection report rosetta_4.20_windows_x86_64.exe and several related files as "Possible ransomware". Anyone else see this? It happens with all av occasionally due to the nature of Boinc. Easiest solution is to whitelist the Boinc directories. |

Work units not validating
(Message 107278)
Posted 12 Oct 2022 by Bryn Mawr Post: Since the problems thread has been taken over with rants about language this is a reminder to Admin @Mod.Sense @srettie that the number of work units stuck in pending validation is growing rapidly and is well over two million at the time I'm posting this. It did seem to start and the number dropped for a while but it’s back over 2 million again now. |

Posted 12 Oct 2022 by Bryn Mawr Post:
On my R9 3900 rigs I’ve replaces the stock coolers with the uprated Wraith Prism. Although the 3900 is rated at 65W TDP it runs at about 88W at 100% CPU and the extra cooling of the 105W rated Prism makes about a 10C difference in the reported temperature. |

Posted 9 Oct 2022 by Bryn Mawr Post: Oh, look! A validated task! Two of mine have validated and, strangely, they’re tasks that have completed within the past few minutes, not the ones that have been waiting for days. |

Posted 8 Oct 2022 by Bryn Mawr Post: @hadron A setting you might want to change is :- <rec_half_life_days>X</rec_half_life_days> A project's scheduling priority is determined by its estimated credit in the last X days. Default is 10; set it larger if you run long high-priority jobs. in cc_config.xml Setting this to 1 will reduce the time that a project will try to play catch-up when it’s been short on work so, in your case, if Rosetta has fallen behind its project share it will still grab 3 or 4 threads but only for a few hours rather than a few days. |

Posted 21 Sep 2022 by Bryn Mawr Post: Well, Rosetta has not sent out work either for the past few days. Any idea why? There was a single dump of Python tasks and they have now been completed no guessing whether there will ever be any more. |

Disk usage shows over 70% but haven't had a task in almost 30 days
(Message 106940)
Posted 18 Sep 2022 by Bryn Mawr Post: Running on Ubuntu 18+ on laptop. The stats page shows most of the disk is held by Rosettta yet I've had no tasks for nearly 30 days and other projects including Rosetta, are requesting space. Is Rosetta not releasing its space? Projects will hold disk space for the static files required by the applications, if you want to release this space then reset the project and it will download the static files again with the next work unit. |

Ralph is closed?
(Message 106903)
Posted 10 Sep 2022 by Bryn Mawr Post: And the bigger question is what happens here after they run out of work in a couple of weeks. They dropped a single lump of 2.5m Python WUs and have not added any since. We’re now down below 12k and will probably run out within a week. In the absence of new Python work, given how sparse the 4.20 jobs have been and given that most of the new work is being done internally I’m not seeing a lot of work for us to do. |

Posted 10 Sep 2022 by Bryn Mawr Post: WCG is down due to an expired certificate, they are now aware of this and working on it :-) Well it certainly isn’t the first project to have this problem - I’d say it’s the third in the past couple of years. |
