1) Message boards : Number crunching : SERVER PROBLEMS. (Message 62572) Posted 28 Jul 2009 by Stan Wells Post: I am seeing the same problems. One of my machines was totally empty - I suspended all other projects (for the fifth time). This time I had extra time to stick around and after about four hours it picked up a few. My other machine has one uploading (not successful after two tries) and has one which it finally downloaded this morning. I have my prefs set for 6 days of work and it gave me one work unit which it states has a 4 hour time to completion. On this machine with 200 to this and 100 to just one other project - I would expect it to be finished in 6 hours - max.
2) Message boards : Number crunching : Not getting any new tasks (Message 62341) Posted 21 Jul 2009 by Stan Wells Post: yeah, it's hit me, too. Only received 4 new tasks in last two days and only on one of the puters. It had 8 in reserve at the time. The other has been out since day before yesterday. After looking at the forum, I haven't reset or anything, but I tried resetting before looking at the forum; without success. I will just keep it running other stuff until they get the servers operating correctly and we get back on board.

It never came back with a response - just reset the clock to say it would check back in 24 hours. Neither client_state.xml nor client_state_prev.xml contained server information as shown in previous posts the master_boinc file now shows a parsing error, however it showed sv4 I will attempt reboot and see if that corrects the parsing error. stan
5) Message boards : Number crunching : shared memory error (Message 57629) Posted 5 Dec 2008 by Stan Wells Post: My Linux box was getting a shared memory error for a couple days; now it just keeps stating it is retrieving the scheduler files and then doesn't. It just resets to retry 24 hours later. My 13 work units are coming up on deadline. I checked my server location and it said server 4. What next?? stan
6) Message boards : Number crunching : Problems with minirosetta version 1.+ (Message 51494) Posted 19 Feb 2008 by Stan Wells Post: Noted that the 5 work units hung at just under an hour were all the "score13_hb_envtest62_A_lcg5B_xxxx" series -don't know if there is a pattern here, but I will watch it. Also noted is that I had my preferences on this computer set to switch between projects at 60 minutes. It has never switched, but thought I would change it to 120 minutes to test if that has an effect on the fail rate. also, anyone want to explain what I am supposed to do to these - they don't seem to want to start back up again after a suspend. stan
7) Message boards : Number crunching : Problems with minirosetta version 1.+ (Message 51493) Posted 19 Feb 2008 by Stan Wells Post: Back again - all minirosetta work units working well on WinXP machine - no problem with AVG anti-virus. Five minirosetta work units have now hung on the Linux box - all of them at just under the hour mark. stan
8) Message boards : Number crunching : Problems with minirosetta version 1.+ (Message 51467) Posted 18 Feb 2008 by Stan Wells Post: Sorry, shuda checked all this before I originally posted. I check previous good results - so far only one on the linux box has completed out of 4. these just started showing up. I have one on my Windows XP box that just finished and uploaded without problem after 2 hrs 35 minutes. this is a 64 bit system running a Windows XP home 32 bit edition - BOINC is 5.4.11. stan
9) Message boards : Number crunching : Problems with minirosetta version 1.+ (Message 51465) Posted 18 Feb 2008 by Stan Wells Post: Forgot to mention that I run an AMD 4000 dual core, 64 bit, 64 bit Ubuntu, with 1 gB of ram. I tried the start / stop / suspend project / suspend task / stop network activity, etc. When it started back up it went to the regular Rosetta work unit that it was working on in the first place - the other three are still "waiting to run" with just under an hour on the clock.
10) Message boards : Number crunching : Problems with minirosetta version 1.+ (Message 51464) Posted 17 Feb 2008 by Stan Wells Post: I have three dead work units from minirosetta on my Linux box (Ubuntu 7.10) running BOINC v 5.10.8. all three stopped (waiting to run) at approximately 59 min 44 seconds into the run (13.61 to 14.78% complete). since they download worked with every other run being a minirosetta it is completing one, running for about an hour on the minirosetta - does not say in the messages that it is stopping for a reason, just shows that it is starting the next work unit. stan
11) Message boards : Number crunching : Ubuntu "boinc" user (Message 51159) Posted 4 Feb 2008 by Stan Wells Post: guess I have a question about Ubuntu. I have a 64 bit dual core system and the newest greatest Ubuntu. Boinc Mgr is version 5.10.8. I have it set to use 2 processors and to switch between Rosetta and Einstein at 60 minute intervals. I don't see where it is doing what I tell it (at all). Rosetta has a deadline of x, Einstein has a deadline of x+2days. It will run all the Rosetta before it starts Einstein unless I suspend it. And it is only processing one work unit at a time - shouldn't it be processing two at a time (dual core and all)? what am I missing here - I realize i am new to dual core, but been doing BOINC for a while and linux for a while. stan
