1) Message boards : Number crunching : Waiting for validation (Message 108343) Posted 1 May 2023 by buscher Post: Hello, I completed a task on "11 Oct 2022, 2:04:55 UTC" but "Completed, waiting for validation". http://buschinski.de/img-misc/boinc-rosetta.png Will it ever finish? What can I do that it will ever finish? Task: https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/result.php?resultid=1498329765 Work unit details: https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/workunit.php?wuid=1331247824 Computer: https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/show_host_detail.php?hostid=5955096
2) Message boards : Number crunching : Work units not validating (Message 107791) Posted 14 Dec 2022 by buscher Post: It seems I have the same issue, "Completed, waiting for validation", since 11 Oct 2022, 2:04:55 UTC. How much longer do I need to wait? :/ My Task: https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/result.php?resultid=1498329765 Workunit: https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/workunit.php?wuid=1331247824 EDIT: But (as the time of writing) https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/server_status.php actually states -> "Workunits waiting for validation 0"
3) Message boards : Number crunching : ERROR: Vboxwrapper lost communication with VirtualBox, rescheduling task for a later time. (Message 105229) Posted 26 Feb 2022 by buscher Post: Thanks for the answers. Since VirtualBox 5 is no longer available (by default) for my distro... I guess I will settle with a cronjob which restarts BOINC every 12h (for now). And I will opt out of VirtualBox task as soon as WCG is operational again or something major changes on the Rosetta side... :
4) Message boards : Number crunching : ERROR: Vboxwrapper lost communication with VirtualBox, rescheduling task for a later time. (Message 105124) Posted 22 Feb 2022 by buscher Post: Hello, I am getting lots of "ERROR: Vboxwrapper lost communication with VirtualBox, rescheduling task for a later time." which kind of results in the task being stuck until I restart BOINC. After a restart, the task finishes almost instantly and is successfully validated. Running on Linux, Kernel: 5.16.10 BOINC: 7.16.17 VirtualBox: 6.1.31_SPB Example task: https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/result.php?resultid=1474366151 What bothers me is that the task is stuck (it needs a BOINC restart/manual action), but also that it seems to have ended just fine. 2022-02-21 23:58:58 (418): Guest Log: 03:14:18.136765 control Guest control service stopped 2022-02-21 23:58:58 (418): Guest Log: 03:14:18.136931 control Guest control worker returned with rc=VINF_SUCCESS 2022-02-21 23:58:58 (418): Guest Log: 03:14:18.137311 main Session 0 is about to close ... 2022-02-21 23:58:58 (418): Guest Log: 03:14:18.137374 main Stopping all guest processes ... 2022-02-21 23:58:58 (418): Guest Log: 03:14:18.137400 main Closing all guest files ... 2022-02-21 23:58:58 (418): Guest Log: 03:14:18.166754 main Ended. 2022-02-21 23:58:58 (418): ERROR: Vboxwrapper lost communication with VirtualBox, rescheduling task for a later time. Is something wrong with my VirtualBox? It only happens for some tasks. Can I do something to improve this?

6) Message boards : Number crunching : No predictor of the day? (Message 99974) Posted 9 Dec 2020 by buscher Post: I looked at https://boincstats.eu/en/stats/14/project/detail/host (bottom right chart), it says, of all hosts: - 68,34% Linux - 27.5% Windows Then a wrote a quick script to grep all (visible) hosts by the predictor of the day: Windows: 448848 (90.5034015800107%) Linux: 47098 (9.49659841998927%) How does this add up? Is this just the work of the mighty random god? Or should I install windows right now to have a chance? ;-) FTR: Yes, I ignored Darwin/Android/FreeBSD/...
7) Message boards : Number crunching : No predictor of the day? (Message 98965) Posted 11 Sep 2020 by buscher Post: I just noticed that there is not always a "predictor of the day". For example between 23 Apr 2020, 0:00:00 UTC - 15 Apr 2020, 0:00:00 UTC was no predictor of the day. And maybe today as well? Why? Did some people refuse to be publically highlighted? Or did the "predictor of the day"-service just crash in this time? Or did the results turn out to be invalid? I am sure some people crunched numbers hard in this time frame and deserve the spotlight ;-)
8) Message boards : Number crunching : I want to help more... (Message 76344) Posted 12 Jan 2014 by buscher Post: Then let me rephrase, it is open to me or any other developer who wants to help? -> Nope. I am not even talking about that everyone can use its own client to push data to rosetta, I would still prefer to get the official binarys from rosetta directly. I am also not talking about making super huge changes here. But how about just investigating? like a crashing testdata, or maybe something that makes the client "stuck"? I can't do that without the code. Or rather is super painful without the code. So I just want make the life a tiny bit more easier for them. But a performance optimization may also be possible, but as you said too, thats not the main focus for now. I am also kinda worried that rosetta currently misses the arm cpu train, as those devices get more and more powerful and are widely spreed. Well thats another topic... but "someone" could do the porting, which in best case is rather minimal and would almost change nothing. But without code....
9) Message boards : Number crunching : I want to help more... (Message 76341) Posted 12 Jan 2014 by buscher Post: Hello, after a few months break I am back and running boinc/rosetta a much as possible. My cpu is really not thaaaaaat super powerful anymore, but as I am not getting a new cpu soon, this is currently all I can do. I want to help more and I don't know how. In other projects I would start to hack the code... but there is no code... why? I know I can code, and I know there are LOTS of people who can code even more and better, why can't they help you? As I think this is a very important project you could only benefit from more help, or? This would not only be beneficial for you, but maybe also for the whole mankind as this could lead to faster problem solving and maybe faster healing diseases. I just can not understand why you demand on your closedsource client. Maybe you should rethink opening your sourcecode. I just want to help you...
