LHC@home

After moving my machines over to LHC@home I've left my settings as the defaults. So far I don't think I've crunched a single LHCb unit successfully. Theory, CMS, sixtrack no problems. LHCb fail after fail. Good old EXIT_INIT_FAILURE.
It kind of seems pointless to keep this up. So should I just give up and disable LHCb again?

jjv,

Yes it is a known problem and has been reported on the "LHCb Application" topic. The virtual machine can't communicate with the HTCondor server so it waits 600+ seconds then aborts. My recommendation would be to turn it off and monitor this post https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/forum_thread.php?id=4014&postid=27898 to see when the project admins get it fixed.

Yeah well, it is "better" now. Not all of them fail. Current ratio for me is 18 valid vs 33 error. It seems kind of odd that my machines are running nothing but LHCb if there is no actual work to be done.
33 x 15 minutes of runtime per failed unit equals over 8 hours of wasted computation. Seriously considering disabling LHCb again.
