1) Message boards : Number crunching : New jobs in Rosetta Python projects (Message 108910) Posted 6 Mar 2024 by m Post: If so, given that the project people don't seem to have noticed, what's to be done? Increase the amount of disk space available for BOINC to use. Is this why so many python tasks fail "disk limit exceeded"? <rsc_disk_bound>20000000000.000000</rsc_disk_bound> I'll try and be a little clearer. As I understand it, this is set by the project. At the moment, to 20G, look in init_data.xml. <rsc_disk_bound> </rsc_disk_bound> Is the maximum amount of disk space your application should take up while running any given task. Includes all input, temporary and output files. Is set in bytes. Tasks seem to take more disk space on some hosts (Linux?) than on others (Windows?). This is from a recent task, although most of my recent failures are between 19 and 20 G. and fail when the result is uploaded, perhaps because some temporary file just tips it over the limit. Peak disk usage 20,681.67 MB

3) Message boards : Rosetta@home Science : Thanks for the Feedback. (Message 89578) Posted 18 Sep 2018 by m Post: Many thanks to Anastasia, Jacob and Derrick for taking the time to explain the work. It really does help. I'm sure a dedicated thread would be a good idea to make such posts more easily accessible.
4) Message boards : Number crunching : Rosetta 4.0+ (Message 88740) Posted 23 Apr 2018 by m Post: Could be this is your problem (and mine...) but don't hold your breath for a fix.
5) Message boards : Number crunching : Problems and Technical Issues with Rosetta@home (Message 87644) Posted 9 Nov 2017 by m Post: Problem at your end? I'm now getting Rosetta@home 09/11/2017 12:37:58 am 53 Temporarily failed upload of rb_10_30_78592_121217__t000__0_C1_SAVE_ALL_OUT_IGNORE_THE_REST_528523_468_0_r1932281858_0: can't resolve hostname so it looks like it.
6) Message boards : Number crunching : Raspberry Pi (Message 76202) Posted 21 Nov 2013 by m Post: The supported platforms are listed here. 1GB memory is recommended minimum. Except that w2k is listed but is not supported (or wasn't, and I can't see anyone adding w2k now). See this thread. John.
7) Message boards : Number crunching : Rosetta@Home version 3.31 (Message 73319) Posted 21 Jun 2012 by m Post: I have detached and re-attached to Rosetta, but the problem remains. Try to reinstall BOINC (i.e. install it just once again with the same settings, no uninstall needed), that should usually fix any issues like that. OK, I'll try that although the problem affects two hosts. I've tried running the executables (for minirosetta 3.31 and for beta 5.98) "on their own" as it were, to see if any helpful error messages appeared (like missing dlls). The 5.98 is OK but the 3.31 reports "not a valid win32 application". I have also copied this file from another host running WXP, where it runs OK, to the W2K host and it still fails so it isn't a corrupted file. Maybe they haven't been compiled to run on W2K. I don't know if the admins read these posts; the "project requirements" do list Windows 2000, so it should work. This host is the one I'm trying things out on. Some programs have installation procedures that load different versions of the software depending on which operating system and which version they run under. That's right. BOINC has comprehensive abilities to send specific versions of applications to particular hosts depending on OS, CPU, Instruction set or whatever. Rosetta seems to send the same version to all Windows hosts. Please, someone prove me wrong, but I think that the answer to this problem is here. If Rosetta is no longer going to support W2K, the least the developers should do is not list it in the Recommended System Requirements and make this clear so that any volunteers using it can detach and go elsewhere. Which is what I'll do. Both I and the helpful people who have answered my questions here have wasted a good bit of time on this. Thanks all.

9) Message boards : Number crunching : Rosetta@Home version 3.31 (Message 73302) Posted 19 Jun 2012 by m Post: "m" this sounds like an authority problem with the user you set up to run BOINC. When the BOINC Manager goes to begin a task for a project, it does a create process. Your message indicates this failed. Most likely cause it would fail is Windows security setup for the user that you run BOINC under. Thanks Mod.Sense. This seems to have appeared with 3.31. No problems previously (nor with other projects) so something seems to have changed. Both hosts run BOINC as a service, I shouldn't need to change this... should I? I have detached and re-attached to Rosetta, but the problem remains. m
10) Message boards : Number crunching : Rosetta@Home version 3.31 (Message 73297) Posted 18 Jun 2012 by m Post: Dear all, I have started getting all tasks on two hosts running win2k/boinc 5.10.45 failing "computation couldn't start", stderr is like this:- <core_client_version>5.10.45</core_client_version> <![CDATA[ <message> CreateProcess() failed - </message> ]]> Rosetta home page still shows Win2k as a supported OS, can anyone suggest what's gone wrong? m.
11) Message boards : Number crunching : Minirosetta 1.90 and 1.91 (Message 62810) Posted 6 Aug 2009 by m Post: 05/08/2009 17:06:45\|rosetta@home\|[error] Signature verification failed for minirosetta_database_rev31588.zip 05/08/2009 17:06:45\|rosetta@home\|[error] Checksum or signature error for minirosetta_database_rev31588.zip A few people seem to be still getting this (I certainly don't since the server issues got solved). I have no idea why it's occurring but someone at TPTB should see if they can spot what the issue is.[/quote] Minirosetta 1.91 comes with database xxx_rev31589.zip and this downloads OK. So, namy thanks to TPTB.

I have just added Rosetta to the list on two boxes, one Windoze, one Linux and have this error on both. The project hasn't even started, not much to reset. Running BOINC 5.10.45
