Exactly the same for me on my Win Vista 32 bit for the 9 and 10 Oct.

Hope that helps.

Same here. First there were some problems with Condor, then no tasks avail.

I keep getting these with X64

[ERROR] Condor exited after 2373s without running a job.

Running over an hour each task so I always used to think these were going to run and wouldn't have to keep checking all of the tasks on all of my computers.

Now I can't trust them to be running and also can't just leave them set to *Allow New Tasks* just to get these *Computer Error* tasks that are not actually computer errors.

Can't get much done this way so I will have to just suspend all of mine until something is done.

For me Theory is working again on the platforms Win32 and Win64.

More wasted time with these theory tasks lately and I have to start them all running after 2am just for the internet speed for the dreaded VB

Since this morning all new Theory VMs are failing after a few minutes.
Mostly with "207 (0x000000CF) EXIT_NO_SUB_TASKS" but also with "206 (0x000000CE) EXIT_INIT_FAILURE".

since a few hours, all Theory tasks fail after about half an hour with "207 (0x000000CF) EXIT_NO_SUB_TASKS"

Is the WMAgent down?

Thanks for the heads-up. I just asked our system manager (Nils) about it and he replied:

"This is probably because the Condor node handling jobs for Theory is being updated for Spectre and Meltdown today.

https://cern.service-now.com/service-portal/view-outage.do?n=OTG0041682

Should be back again soon.

Cheers, Nils"

Hello Ben,

Yes we had the same problems with these over at LHC-dev so I had 7 multi-core tasks crash (not start up) but I just got another 6 of them up and running so maybe it was taken care of......just in time (as I mentioned over there)

EDIT: well it looks like they are still having problems.

They do make it past HTCondor Ping but then after a few minutes crash with
[ERROR] Condor exited after 758s without running a job.

So far after a few tries I may only have ONE multi-core running and the other 5 are past HTCondor Ping but I don't trust them to run.......so I will watch but I have them set to not get new ones if these fail again and get back to running all those AVX tasks I have still.

same or similar problem here with the Condor Server:
...
guest Log: 01/22/18 18:42:57 CCBListener: connection to CCB server vccondor01.cern.ch failed
...
All the tasks from this afternoon failed :-(

Often enough in the past, also with CMS tasks I made the same experience: no connection to Condor Server.
No idea why the Condor Server is making problems so many times. And no idea whether the people in charge have ever looked into that.

The three Theory WU that are still left from late yesterday are still calculating but the new WU can get MCPlots work.

Error count is near 300 on all 3 servers.

Switching to backup jobs till morning. (10pm local time now).
