Yep, The Validator is borked,

For me, anything returned from 3 Apr 2024, 22:02:46 UTC fails, and a quick look at th top computers shows the same thing- everything going back at present fails Validation.

If someone could get the Projects attention?

Output I get is : "boinc : boinc video render vboxusers" so I am assuming so?

Anyone managed to get the VM jobs working on Linux?

The difference between you and me is where you place the danger line. If you were told there was a disease that was going to wipe out 50 people worldwide, you wouldn't get the vaccine. Chances are you'd never catch it. What number would you place on predicted worldwide deaths before you get the vaccine? Covid is 1 in 1000. A 1 in 1000 chance of death is not enough to concern me.

Your claimed mortality rate is the ratio of total deaths divided by total world population.

The correct way to calculate a mortality rate is to use the total number of resolved cases as the divisor; 6.8 million people died from Covid-19 out of 680 million cases worldwide, which is a mortality rate of 1% -- rather large, as far as flu-like diseases go.

No, that's the wrong way. My way includes the chances of catching it. All I need to know is the chances of me dying vs. the chances of me not dying. Not dying includes both recovering from it and not catching it in the first place. So 0.1%. Low enough I don't actually know anyone who's died of it. However I know about 50 who recovered, some of them twice, the twice ones all having had the vaccine and still getting it just as bad or worse! What are we up to now, 5 doses? It isn't working!

P.S. those who recovered are the healthier ones, so the next generation will be stronger.

It got rid of the problem that, after you aborted the other tasks, you weren't getting any new ones because of some "stalled" download.
I did say it wouldn't solve the problem of not being able to download the new tasks, didn't I?

So all that exercise did was replace an old set of undownloadable tasks with a new set of undownloadable tasks.

Restart your boinc client to clear any "stalled downloads".

It won't help in getting the downloads to complete, of course, but at least it gets rid of one small problem.

OK: I aborted the downloads that would not download for a couple of days.
I restarted the boinc-client.

Now I have 14 new tasks that will not download. Same symptoms as before. I still have connectivity to the download server. What small problem did it remove?

Edit , after aborting all tasks from the download que from one system and press update I still get

17/12/2022 12:01:38 | Rosetta@home | update requested by user
17/12/2022 12:01:44 | Rosetta@home | Sending scheduler request: Requested by user.
17/12/2022 12:01:44 | Rosetta@home | Not requesting tasks: some download is stalled
17/12/2022 12:01:46 | Rosetta@home | Scheduler request completed
17/12/2022 12:01:46 | Rosetta@home | Project requested delay of 31 seconds

even though I have no tasks waiting / stuck to download on that system
The aborted downloads now show as `error while downloading`
It was worth a try
I hate zombie tasks nnnn

When the server status page says the download server isn't running, it isn't running, and no one is getting any tasks sent down to them.

Even though all the other stats show that they are.

I would say it's a pure Linux problem. I have no problems on my Windows computers. Only on my Linux computer does it not want to download the rest.

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.

What happens if the deadline is passed before the tasks actually download? Is that all wasted? Deadline is early Sunday afternoon.

I was able to open profile at cosmology@home, but then i logged out and can't log in.

Somebody needs to contact them. Anyone got a live contact?

All my computers are still connected with Boinc, and I can turn things off and on in Boinc, I just can't to the website to change settings any more. So I can probably still do work for them ok as I've got most stuff in that project set up perfectly here.

I THINK I was able to find a live contact and report it.

Let's watch over the next few days to see if this worked.

The error was reported there months ago.

Ok...but their SSL is all messed up.
Or is there something on my end to correct SSL errors?
And I missed your info in all the other chatter.

http://www.cosmologyathome.org/create_account_form.php

That is what the page shows, but when you click on the link then it goes to this:
https://www.cosmologyathome.org//create_account_form.php?next_url=

http://www.cosmologyathome.org/login_form.php
and that converts to https://www.cosmologyathome.org//login_form.php?next_url=

http://www.cosmologyathome.org/home.php
https://www.cosmologyathome.org//login_form.php?next_url=home.php

I am just copying what is in the url bar. Nothing is altered.

[quote]But this is really odd. The link is http but yet if you try to go to it its converted to https without you doing anything. All my browsers do that.

hmm...there is something funky in their website.

There's nothing odd or funky about that -- the remote system is redirecting the http port to the https port.

What remote system?
If I say here to make it http and the project is also http, then why is it turning into https?
If things don't work here, then why via BOINC is it appearing to be the same issue?
Is there something here on the local system that got changed during an windows update or what happened?

in my preferences i have

Use RAM:

when in Use 80%
When not in Use 90% of Memmory

installed is 4GB
aktually in use .... then when i see there ist a Job from Rosetta Aktiv less then 10% cpu usage, less then 1GB Ram in use.
the Job is aktiv and after 60 minutes there will no job cange be done, the system still waiting for this Job but nothing will be done
