Thanks for all your help, mmciastro. Just came back from the store and it appears it finished up in 3 hrs 28 mins...must have really taken off like a rocket after I left :) Much appreciated!

no, the FRA 2rio wus take a long time to do a model. What you're seeing it it doing that ONE model (all WUs will run atleast ONE model without regard to "cpu run time" preference settings). I've had my older machines exceed the cpu run time pref just to complete that one wu.

Are you sure this is supposed to be this long? Generally this machine takes only a few hours to complete a job. Im now into 3 hours and it hasnt budged past 1.604%. As a matter of fact, as each sec passes on CPU TIME, COMPLETION TIME also goes up a sec....

Ive got 2 machines stuck at 1%. One of them dedicated 3 hours to the workunit before I aborted it. The other is still at 1.604% and is 2 1/2 hours into the workunit....

Info on the workunit...
<result_name>FRA_2rio_134E_hom001_1_2rio_1_1zy4A_IGNORE_THE_REST_214_1303_79_0</result_name>

Do I abort it? Im hoping this isnt going to be a regular thing as I really dont want to have to babysit my computers on this project.

Please don't use a team thread to attack the basis of that team's existence.


They had it coming in my opinion.

Its one thing to join a project and start a team. Its another to join a project and sprout off lies and half-truths with no regard for those who disagree with them. They opened the door with their initial post.


This is a cafe. Think about that as a metaphor.

So you go into a real cafe and there is a group of Dems sat round a table drinking coffee, talking amongst themselves and you hear them say a load of stuff you personally don't agree with, perhaps stuff about your party.

Do you *really* go over and sit down at their table and tell them you think they are a load of liars?

I don't think so. Even though a cafe is in some ways a public space, you also (I hope) respect the groups of people within that cafe. And if you don't respect the rights of other groups in the cafe the management ask you to leave.

If they said the same kind of thing in a public meeting then heckling is fair play. Do you understand the difference I am drawing here?


Not really....this thread is called "Join 'Democratic Party' Team" then is introduced with their "opinion". If they plan to start a team and use their original statement as the method of recruiting and supporting their team, then I have an equal right to express my opinion as well. Why do they have the right to say their mind but I dont have the right to say mine?

Comparing this forum to a cafe is like comparing apples to oranges. A cafe doesnt have people telling you what you can and cannot say. Though you have the freedom to express yourself in a cafe, if you say something a person finds offensive, I see no reason why the offended person cannot speak his mind. If I heard this statement in a public place, I would say something. Its my right. And thats how it should be here as well if you want to equate this place with a public arena.

Going to a HUGE EXTREME [and I DONT compare this with the people who started this thread and only cite this as an example and DONT feel this way], if I posted a message saying I wish America would die, cheered for the terrorists, and praised Osama Bin Laden, would you feel the same way if someone posted their concerns with my post?

Irregardless, consider this whole issue dropped. Everyone has a right to form a team here and its really none of my business to poke my nose into other people's business. I was merely defending the position of the people who felt they needed to speak their mind about the information posted by this team.

They opened the door with their initial post. You really cant blame someone for standing and defending his [or her] opinions of the statement. If the tables were turned and I started a CONSERVATIVE TEAM, and announced my team by bashing the dems for their horrific behavior during the Alito confirmations, what do you expect would happen? Its a 2 way street. If people come to this site with an axe to grind or an agenda, they should expect rebuttals and debate.

Perhaps instead of going after Pphalan, we should look at the whole picture. This is one of the MANY reasons why politics should be left out of the forums. Political debates will only spark dissent and divide people.

I welcome ALL people to the project irregardless of your political leanings. But please dont insult me or others by trying to ram your beliefs or agenda down my throat. Believe what you wish, as will I.

Just my honest opinion,

Tried everything, but still getting one error after another with workunits. Switched to LHC and have done 13 workunits now with NO errors at all....will go another dozen and switch back to Rosetta and see what happens.

I looked at the files... thank you VERY much for making them available! When I look at my own stdoutdae.txt, I see pausing messages saying "left in memory". I was expecting to see messages in your file saying "removed from memory" right before an error, and there are indeed some:

and I'm seeing an error right after you restart BOINC (which would also have removed from memory when you quit, no way around that) - but I'm also seeing errors because of "no child processes", "incorrect function", etc. Your benchmarks have quite a wide range of values, all within "reason", but still varying quite a bit. You have 384MB of RAM, which is below the minimum recommended, so this COULD all be due to a virtual memory "swapping" situation. Specifically the results that take "more memory" could be running into trouble. I am NOT seeing this as being the "leave in memory" problem; part could be, but the rest isn't. I'm thinking this is a PC instability issue of some type, with maybe a problem aggravated by low RAM. Are you overclocked? Any indication of other problems with this PC? You had some of the same errors on Predictor... I'm not sure what to tell you. I'm a Mac guy who owns one Windows PC, not a Windows/Intel guru by any means. I've seen threads where RAM test routines are recommended, or Prime95, etc., to help locate/fix this type of thing. Anyone?

Edit: Spealink



Thanks a million for looking into this for me...Odd though that I had very few problems until the past couple days. My system is a bit OC'd. Ill ramp it down a bit and see if that helps. If not, Ill research a possible bad RAM/insuffient RAM issue.

Thanks again!

Post:
when workin on FaD as well as other projects i tend not to read all the messages since some of them dont intrest me. is there a way to easly mark all messages read on the forum or do i (like i am now) have to select each and every thread to open and close it so it will report read?


Looks to me like if you read a thread, it gets marked as read. If you dont read a thread, it automatically gets marked read after a week. I show no unread threads more than 7 days old and I know I didnt read most of them.

Posted 27 Nov 2005 by Spectre
Post:
I see where you have posted the contents of the "Messages" tab (or perhaps stdout) but not anything from stderrdae or stderrgui - even with no errors, those files on my system were updated yesterday as they contain even things like "deferring communication" messages. They SHOULD contain at the very least the same text that was placed in your results file, that I was able to get to and copy to the board. The "slots" directories contain stderr.txt files that are "up to the second", but nothing that would be relevant here as once the WU has errored, the slots directory is cleared, thus I didn't ask for those.



The last thing I posted was DIRECTLY from my stderrdae.txt file....if you wish to see the files, they are here:

Ive had better luck with the graphics workunits than the standard ones.

@j2satx: For the moment, Ive switched my memory setting from NO to YES and updated the client[s]. Will see if that helps...

@Bill: Granted, Im no BOINC genius, but after 2 years of it, Im fairly familiar with how it works. Ive provided all I have at my disposal. Ive posted info from all relevant logfiles. Some files simply didnt have any error info of interest or useful info [last update was weeks ago even tho Im seeing errors]. Ive got 4 boxes doing the same thing. 2 running BOINC 5.2.7 and 2 running BOINC 4.4.5. All are running Windows [1 running 98, 2 running 2000pro, 1 running XP]. Ive been running Rosetta for a month now with no problems and this started a few days ago. Im not bitching or complaining, but Im not the only person with problems. If more info is needed, ask.

Just to update, it's now 2 days later and still the same error (02/11/2005 8:16:02 PM|rosetta@home|Temporarily failed download of rosetta_4.78_windows_intelx86.exe: error 500
). I'd really like to crunch for this project, so even if it requires me to delete all my boinc data or something I'm still willing to give it a try. Seems everybody's a little stumped for now though:P



They seem to be having server problems today. Most/many are not able to download new WUs


Here's a copy of mine [running Windows]:

http://www.planetspectre.com/files/rosetta_4.78_windows_intelx86.exe

I took it straight from my

c:program filesboincprojectsboinc.bakerlab.org_rosetta

folder. Try popping it into your similar folder and see what happens.

Hope this helps,

It would be nice for Rosetta to have graphics, but I probably wouldnt use them as screensavers tend to process workunits slower than leaving it alone...
