Post: I'm sorry, I have no idea what you are saying. Can you give an example, with numbers, and explain where the numbers come from? I apologise. Basically for my last 4 hour and 10 Minute w/u,it took an xtra 15 minutes to crunch!Therfore the time was 4hours and 25 Minutes for a 4 Hour and 10 minute w/u?No other experiment has "Lag Time" and I can surf and Email with no loss of Boinc "Time" Doug |

Posted 7 Dec 2005 by Doug Worrall
Post: Hello, Have noticed with Rosetta W/U that are about 4 hours. I lose usually at least 6 Minutes that are unaccounted for.The w/u presently has a lag time of 15 minutes with 20 to go. Not a Big problem,could this P.C. be having problems. No other experiments 4 others,donnot experience "Lag Time" Sincerely Doug Worrall |

Post: Hello, Just read this whole Post "Page",and am really impressed with Rosetta and her Scientists,Moderators and Crunchers.Everyone is on the Ball here,have chosen Rosetta over P.due to the Information available.And the Wonderful 7 hour w/u.Nice size,great advances in these Proteins ect...Coodos to all.And Ed and Harriet Griffith that began this thread.Fellow Team mates. Happy Crunching All Sincerely Doug Worrall |

Post: All this information has added to my Minimal Wisdom,I learn at least one thing Daily.Learned an xtra one today.The Scietists for this Experiment grt there hands dirty{per say} by trying to explain to a dummy like me,and I sort of do. What matters above all,Seti is Redundant {my Opinion} y donnot need Boinc to run it.Bells and whistles attract people that want something new.Yes there are some sort of "Life" outside of our solor system,but,if we havenot found them yet,why not use that power for something that is palatable,Saves lives. Coodos to the Great people here,and Thank you for the opportunity to help. Albeit,the last 5 w/u were Fubar so have detached and reattached today.Hope the stability is better for the Linux app. Sincerely Doug Worrall |

Post: I just started crunching and I gotten several of this same error. Is this common? Have only had errors for 2 days.UOD yesterday after turfing Rosetta,then reapplied yesterday.Another 5 Hours of errors.NO THANKS,The Ram useage will kill an XP Box. Thank God for Linux! |

Post: The database purge has finished. Completed WU's and results should now be kept in the database for 1 week before they get purged and archived so users can view their results. WU's and results (and the credits granted) that have been purged and archived have not been lost. The credits for each user is totaled and kept in the database. The result output (structures and rmsd vs energy) can and will still be linked to users and computers for the results that have been archived. Thanks for everyone's patience!! Dave, Very good way to do it, Database,was wondering how the changes were affecting the "Results" tab and now understand.Thanks for the help explaining this Process. Aslso have a great Weekend Doug Worrall |

Post: Holy cow, I hadn't checked for a few days. Several of my linux boxes are throwing up all over the place with R@H errors. Both multi processor and single processor. All my windows computers seem to be running ok. Hello Jim, Glad to hear the new 5.2.4 Linux client is running well.If you donnot mind me asking,which O.S.{NIX} are you running.Myself am running off the live c/d and updated thru symnaptic and KDE to LINUXOS 2.6.1,all these numbers are sending me for a spin.LOL Found that my OLD 4.5 Boinc client is getting some special W/U.Have not had one error with Rosetta ,asides from my own mistakes,for days.Using one P.C. so Pause rest,let Rosetta crunch away{being Nix users No Rebooting} could let it run all day.Added 1 stick before signing on to Rosetta,Fryed the M.B. yada yada ect... #300 later,running Rosetta on a Rock Solid O.S. and RAM for plenty. Good luck with your quest for the lack of w/u that are errors.May they all be success,for all. Happy Crunching Doug |

Post: Hello, Donnot whine often,havenot changed over to 5.2 or whatever still have 4.5.Running a NIX with about 800 RAM lots of megs.After w/u changed over to small 1 hour ones,and now am getting large ones again that seem to not end.Lat night turfed one after 2 hours{not fun} Rebooted Boinc this morning.Running a w/u now.1 hour at 10% progress.Its not one of the first ones,ahhhh! had the name of the w/u??? Randome???. Will keep checking my P.C. is fine,and same as Boinc and all other Experiments.? Any ideas? any sujestions?{remember I have some cheese} Sincerly Doug |

Post: Hello, It is Sad that Polotics have to be involved in Crunching Numbers and Points. These Experiments are for the betterment of Mankind.We donate our P.C. power to Help{Volunteer}. We should Just Crunch.Hey,its Washington{politics} Dohh! This is sad folks.Bickering and backhanded "Accusations".I joined B.S. because someone from the Team helped me through changing to 4.45.So I Joined,because they care.Points are nothing.Saving Lives and Helping Mother Nature is why I crunch. Cammon then Happy Crunching Doug Worrall |

Post: For sure that should not be stuck for that long.Myseld have put a W/U through the wringer,and it had nada errors.First,went into Root,oops,thats o,k.,Woops Rebotted on a Rosetta W/u due to swap issues.Then tried "Aborting",doesnt Boinc Manager start doing the "Chicken".Flashing and Frozen.Did Cntrl Alt Backsp, no go,dohhhh.Had to Manually Reset P.C.Signed back into user account went to Boinc and it was there,and the W/U {thinking w/u corrupted} I Paused it,Ran Predictor when I found it was back.36 hours later took Rosetta off Pause let w/u finish. Result Rosetta@home Result Result ID 84726 Name 1pvaA_abrelax_no_cst_15903_0 Workunit 72423 Created 26 Sep 2005 21:18:38 Sent 30 Sep 2005 22:17:27 Received 1 Oct 2005 23:12:02 Server state Over Outcome Success Client state Done Exit status 0 (0x0) Computer ID 3584 Report deadline 28 Oct 2005 22:17:27 CPU time 8660.681376 stderr out 4.43 Validate state Valid Claimed credit 10.5439759610782 Granted credit 10.5439759610782 application version 4.77 WOW,This is great news for either a great O.S sooo Stable or that W/u was a Superduper W/U and if so,and Rosetta does not need to be handled with "Kid Gloves" then will begin Round Robin again.I thought a R. unit could not be stopped and you could not Quit Boinc?Apologise for getting Off Topic Doug Worrall Boinc Synergy |

Post: Mine took about 36 hours on a 1200 mhz AMD with WinXP and 512 ram. Fixed Problem and am swimming alomg just fine.Just cannot exit Boinc.Plain and simple.Works great.Love the Project,will become Premiere "Experiment" shortly.

If There Is No Screensaver........
(Message 642)
Posted 27 Sep 2005 by Doug Worrall
Post: easy... not everyone that notes there is non is automatically moaning about it. normaly you note things you see during beta stage. Exactly,one of my Hansom Models did not have a Screensaver and was concerned. So,someone that is new to Boinc may believe there should be a S.S.Myself I find them Redundant and "Eye Candy".Yet there importance is Omnipresent for some,and I find good info in the 3 Listed Below:Seti,Einstein,Climate, Rosetta may save lives,thats what matters,not S.S,s,credits and "Noteriety". Crunch away,Rosetta Rocks! Sincerly Doug Worrall |

Post: @ Doug Worrall Thanks Nightbird,a fellow Boinc Synergist,Just put Memtest on "opera" Toolbar. Have about 4 other Memory tests in KDE,none of them saw any hardware Probs. P.C. is still learning new M.B. and Ram at 756.Rosetta is clicking wonderfully when just it is going,while all others are paused.Going to Run Rosetta all day untill Wendsday Morn.I like it ,and if it can save 1 life,I love it!Replaces Predictor "Sort of" not alike,but,folding is folding.

Post: Hello All, Not any more dude.Tweeked Linux O.S.I guess if you were unable to "get around" and are "taken" by people that take advantage of the Disabled.Maybe before you make accusations that I post all over the place with errors,well dude,is not that what these "Posts" are for?.I would put yourself in other peoples shoes before "Quoting me"and anyone else in a community that gives "all" my Power to Boinc.I donnot play games I crunch numbers and thats all.so,of course I will have difficulties.But,Thanks for the advice regarding memtest.And the only client errors have been with Rosetta,but,as I said all is well now.I learn from these Posts and I "Respect" your memtest {memory" and all is well}swap the kernal,you name it Linuxos is a large learning curve for a P.C.. user for only 8 Months.Ran Winxp for 4 Months and learned what "userability is"But,enjoy looking under the hood with the Linux O.S.

Post: Hello All, Just added a stick and a new Asus M.B after frying it,just for Rosetta.Cost $400 and it was not my mistake.Tryed Rosetta again with 756 Ram and error after error. 12 Hours of Crunching and $400 Dollars.Once Rosetta "Respects" and Tweeks the W/U "Better" for Linoxos will have to wait.Please let us know when and what I can do.To be honest I donnot understand what the "Fix" is for These Computation errors.

Post: Mine took about 36 hours on a 1200 mhz AMD with WinXP and 512 ram. Using Linux have only had "Computation errors" and using my Valuable Time I could be giving to an Experiment that will send me info "Why" or "What" I can do to eliviate this Issue. I have nearly 800 RAM and there should not be only Errors,unless Linuxos is not supported? Sluger1138 |
