1) Message boards : Number crunching : Problems with Minirosetta Version 1.67 (Message 61197)
Posted 15 May 2009 by Terrasapiens
Post:
I recently built a new PC and figured all the problems I was having with Rosetta Mini on my old machine would go away, however I'm still seeing most of the mini WUs crashing, at least all the crashed ones checked were mini WUs. Yet with the new machine the reason for the crashes is different. Could someone please look at my results and provide some feedback as to what the problem may be? The errors checked all showed a lot of "Can't acquire lockfile - exiting" messages. I'm running the same OS (Win XP Pro, SP3) and antivirus (Kaspersky v6.0) as on the old machine. Could the antivirus or some other application be causing these errors? BTW, as with the old machine the Rosetta Beta WUs run just fine.

If this problem persists, it there a way to block mini WUs and only allow processing of beta WUs? This would allow my machine to do a lot more useful work and not waste time on WUs that will continue to fail.

Thank you!

As with the last couple of mini rosetta versions I've got several pages of results with nothing but WU failures, but on the rare occasion where the BOINC client sees fit to send rosetta 5.98 WUs those process just fine.

I've had nothing but failures on the v1.34 WUs, just like I did with the v1.32 ones. There are only two projects running, RAH and Seti and RAH is set to run 2/3 of the time (the PC has been on almost 24/7). Yet since August 29th I've only received about 200 credits. I think all of those are from rosetta beta. There are too many failed WUs to list so here's the link to all my tasks:
http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/results.php?userid=254884

I have not had time to try the code that is supposed to block the mini WUs but I'm wondering if anyone has tried it and got it to work. I'd like to be processing RAH but the BOINC client keeps feeding me the mini WUs my machine doesn't like! Any suggestions/work-arounds???

Some project sites such as PrimeGrid and World Community Grid give the user an option to choose which applications (sub-projects) to run. I would like to be able to opt out of Minirosetta until this bug is fixed.


Since just about every mini WU I've had since v1.28 has failed on me right from the start I'd certainly like to have this option as well. The v5.98 WUs seem to run fine but ironically, the BOINC client doesn't seem to be requesting these lately. I guess I'll have to try the suggestion mentioned in post 55511 when I have time. Per a suggestion from Peter Leman that I check my RAM, I've removed and reset the RAM cards and run Memtest86+ (v2.01) on my machine but no errors were found. Check out the last 4 pages or so of results and see that there's nothing but failures:

Terrasapiens, I see you are running BOINC 6.2.18. Do have any history running mini on older versions of BOINC? Are you using BOINC as your screensaver?


I think the mini WUs ran fine about two versions prior to the current one but I'm not sure exactly. I do know that the mini rosetta WUs didn't start failing until v1.28. I did turn off the BOINC screen saver a couple of weeks ago but that made no difference in terms of failed WUs.

G'day Terrasapiens.

Looking at your tasks couple things i can think of.

1/ You have 1 Gig of ram shared between two cores could be a problem

with some tasks, has been known to cause problems for some people.

2/ Are you using onboard graphics because the error code looks like it

could be a hardware conflict.

3/ If not no:2 can you run tests on your ram or try some other sticks.

pete


Pete, as far as graphics I have an ATI All-In-Wonder series w/ 128Mb of RAM. I didn't seem to have any problem with rosetta WUs crashing until v1.28 came out. Since then only the mini rosetta ones crash. All else runs fine. I had 2 RAM issues a while back with the machine that caused it to to randomly reboot. I found out that when I removed and reset the RAM cards everything worked fine. I've had no apps crashing on this machine other than the MR. Maybe sometime in the next couple of days I'll try removing the RAM again and then running the RAM test program I have to see if anything shows up. I don't have other sticks to try. Maybe some time this year the box will get a full gutting and upgrade, but that could be a while.

Thanks

Can someone take a look at my failed work units (link below) and tell me if there is any more debugging info I can provide to help fix the problems I've been having with the rosetta mini WUs? Is there a problem with the WUs themselves, or my machine or the mini app? Almost every one I've received in the past month or two has failed immediately. I don't think I've had any failures on the non-mini WUs nor on the Seti WUs I process as well.

I decided to disable the BOINC screensaver yesterday to see if that would have any affect on the number of failed WUs, but it didn't seem to make any difference. Two more failed today:

But the simplest solution is to not use the BOINC screensaver...


I disabled the screensaver and will see if this minimizes the WUs crashing as well. Thanks for the info.

I've been having a lot of WU errors with mini rosetta ever since version 1.28 and now have had 5 in the past two days. Here's the link to my WUs showing the recent falures: http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/results.php?userid=254884

I've also had to do a hard shutdown and reboot several times recently after the RAH screen saver apparently locked up the machine. Not sure if v1.32 or 5.98 was running at the time. This seemed to happen after I changed the options setting so the screen would go to black after a few minutes. I undid the setting and have had no application crashes since then, but I'm not totally sure the crashes were due to that change.

The task below just failed on my machine. This is the first mini rosetta work unit to get processed since the new release and the error seems to be similar to the errors that I was repeatedly getting on version 1.28.

BTW, version 5.98 WUs have been running successfully.

I've enabled my computer to be visible so you can see what's going on and I've also allowed new RAH work units to download. BTW, a task for Rosetta Beta 5.98 is currently running without a problem so far.

[quote]review the message text related to the RAH task.
look for words like these and then what comes after them.

Outcome
Client state
Exit status
stderr out

since your computers are hidden no one can see what the actual error codes are.
so if you post the above information it will help mod or others know what to tell you and the team can see what the error is.

I'm sorry, but I'm not sure what you mean by exit code. If you're asking if there were any messages after this, then no. These are the only messages related to rosetta. The next messages were for the restart of seti@home.

what is the exit code on those?

I quit downloading new tasks since July 7th since the minirosetta app kept crashing on me. I decided to try it again today but the work units fail immediately and the progress is set to 100% complete. Below is a portion of the messages just after the last crash:

The minirosetta application has been crashing for me repeatedly over the past several weeks. Apparently both rosetta applications have been failing because none of my rosetta work units have succeeded. Below is a brief excerpt from the windows application error log:

Description:
Faulting application minirosetta_1.28_windows_intelx86.exe, version 0.0.0.0, faulting module ntdll.dll, version 5.1.2600.2180, fault address 0x000106c3.

I'm running Kaspersky (ver 6.0) anti-virus but have not seen it showing any activity as a result of the rosetta apps running.
