41) Message boards : Number crunching : Can't Access Work Units (Message 17809) Posted 10 Sep 2007 by Dotsch Post: And not only are there new units waiting, so is the Garfield application! :-) Would there be permanently work for the garfield application ? Btw. I have also the problem to get some WUs. The server status shows about 15K with a disabled down-/upload server and scheduler.
42) Message boards : Number crunching : Maximum daily WU quota per CPU? (Message 17630) Posted 30 Jul 2007 by Dotsch Post: The system(s) reports his error messages : <core_client_version>5.4.11</core_client_version> <message> app_version download error: couldn't get input files: <file_xfer_error> <file_name>courier_16_bold_1.01_.tga</file_name> <error_code>-200</error_code> </file_xfer_error> </message> I think a reset project could help.
43) Message boards : Number crunching : Can't Access Work Units (Message 17409) Posted 20 Jul 2007 by Dotsch Post: Sorry, duplicate posting.
44) Message boards : Number crunching : Can't Access Work Units (Message 17408) Posted 20 Jul 2007 by Dotsch Post: Exactly the same message/problem I have. When we all have it, it must be a LHC problem. The upload and download servers and the scheduler are still disabled. Until the servers are not enabled by the staff, there will not WUs for download ! Please at the server status here : http://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/server_status.php Please be patient.
45) Message boards : Number crunching : Bugs - problems thread (Message 17030) Posted 14 Jun 2007 by Dotsch Post: It looks like the mail notification did not work. At some threads which I am watching, was made some postings some hours ago, and I did not recive a notifcation email.
46) Message boards : Number crunching : TIP : Use the linux client on compatible host (Message 16367) Posted 17 Feb 2007 by Dotsch Post: This is also posible with MacOS with CrossOver Beta. This is a enhanced version of wine, which allows to let windows binaries runing on MacOS (Intel), too. I had really bad performance with wine, but with CrossOver the preformance is OK.
47) Questions and Answers : Wish list : A Macintosh OSX Client (Message 16113) Posted 12 Jan 2007 by Dotsch Post: It is also posible to let LHC running with Crossover. If anyone is interested, I can write a little howto.
48) Message boards : Number crunching : I feel bad ... (Message 15716) Posted 28 Nov 2006 by Dotsch Post: I sometimes tried to install some projects on my machine which hadn't a Mac app and I always got an error message,I don't remember what they were. Nothing of the kind happened with LHC ... There is a list of the different projects, there supported platforms and requirements at the BOINC WIKI : http://boinc-wiki.ath.cx/index.php?title=Choosing_a_BOINC_Powered_Project In short, MacOS X is supported by the productive projects SETI, SIMAP, WCG, Rosetta, Predictor, Einstein and SZTAKI. This are all productive projects execpt LHC and CPDN and BBC CPDN... And the alpha and beta projects SETI BETA, Leiden Classic, Docking@home (is searching for MacOS users !), and RALPH.
49) Questions and Answers : Getting started : running multiple BOINCs on same account. (Message 15688) Posted 26 Nov 2006 by Dotsch Post: It looks like your second computer did not get any WUs. LHC has only sometimes WUs, and if there are WUs it could be that the are very fast downloaded by other systems. I recommend you to join one or more other BOINC based projects, if you wish to keep your systems crunching if LHC has no work. There is a overview of the different project at the BOINC WIKI : http://boinc-wiki.ath.cx/index.php?title=Choosing_a_BOINC_Powered_Project
50) Message boards : Number crunching : Fairer distribuiton of work(Flame Fest 2007) (Message 15112) Posted 16 Oct 2006 by Dotsch Post: I think, it is a good idea to reduce the max. cache time. It will be fairer for all users.
51) Message boards : Number crunching : LHC@home server being reconfigured today !! (Message 14689) Posted 20 Sep 2006 by Dotsch Post: I am happy, that the project is back ! My first upload get an error : "Error on file upload can't open file"
52) Message boards : Number crunching : I think we should restrict work units (Message 14301) Posted 13 Jul 2006 by Dotsch Post: Option 2 : Install a premium service for 5$ per month that reads the "WorkUnits available" Counter from the Website every hour and immediately EMail/Message/Phone all customers when the Counter is like >1000 or so g What is about to start a thread, in which the first person which see new work, posts a notice if new work is available ? - If you subscribe to the thread, you will get an email, if anyone posts into this thread.
53) Message boards : Number crunching : Communication deferred (Message 14278) Posted 10 Jul 2006 by Dotsch Post: how do I turn off the communication deferred stuff? Currently the LHC communication is deferred by 167:59:10 And the number will increase rather then should there be no work avaialbale in 167 hours and 59 minutes. :( Any suggestions? It is OK. The boinc client increases the connection intervall on every non successfull connection attempt. For example if no work is available or the boinc client could not connect to the project servers. This should prevent that the boinc clients made a "DDOS attack" by flooding the projects servers with requests.
54) Message boards : Number crunching : Pending credit not being validated! (Message 14120) Posted 22 Jun 2006 by Dotsch Post: I have one such result, too.
55) Message boards : Number crunching : My PC's have no work to do.... (Message 13871) Posted 3 Jun 2006 by Dotsch Post: Hi, is there a problem with work for PC's or is there something wrong with my networ...all my PC'c have ran out of work and dont seem to be downloading any more...? Please look here : http://lhcathome.cern.ch/FAQ.html#1.4
56) Message boards : Number crunching : Work? (Message 13794) Posted 30 May 2006 by Dotsch Post: Hey ya'll... Why is there never any work from LHC@home? Is my computer hooked up to this project correctly? Einstein@home and the other projects all grind right along. thanks. From the FAQ (http://lhcathome.cern.ch/FAQ.html#1.4) : 1.4 Server says out of work, why? LHC@home calculations consist of many separate studies. Some studies can be started only after the previous have been analysed. We are doing our best to give out work at all times, but sometimes we just need to analyse old results before we can give out more. When this happens, please contribute to some other BOINC project(s) until we are able to submit new work. (Of course you can always participate to many BOINC projects simultaneously). You can find list of public BOINC projects here.
57) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : Not getting new workunits (Message 13723) Posted 24 May 2006 by Dotsch Post: There's no LHC client for the Mac so you won't ever get work. Best try a different project. At the boinc wiki is a table with the supported OSes on the different projects available : http://boinc-wiki.ath.cx/index.php?title=BOINC_Powered_Project
58) Message boards : Number crunching : Account Problems (Message 13621) Posted 14 May 2006 by Dotsch Post: Steve Cressman has posted on the seti boards (http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=30674#305353), that he can not anymore login to the LHC site. He gets the error message, that the account was not found. - He is also unable to login and post to the message boards (error : account did not exists). - The reason, why I post this here.... Can the admins please help him. His original post on the seti@home forum : LHC has lost my account. Now I can't even log in to tell them over there that they lost my account. All I get is user not found. Can't get to the forums because it says I need to login but i can't login because it says don't exist. Can someone please post at LHC that I want my account back. Same name as here. Thanx. Account No. 3254 Never mind. Just got it to work with Internet Exploder. Don't understand why LHC could not find me while using FireFox. Started up Exploder hoping that the auto login was set for LHC but it was not.When trying with FF it would say no user with that email. Started up Exploder and entered my email addy at LHC and it was able to send me my account KEY. Now back using FF and was able to login at LHC. Scratches head in wonder as I post.
59) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : FreeBSD port (Message 13326) Posted 11 Apr 2006 by Dotsch Post: I find your posting offense, displaced and incompetent. You have to respect the reasons of the project not to relase a binary for every unix. Also you have to respect, that the would not release the source code. Why do you not let the linux binaries run in the linux emulation under FreeBSD ?
60) Message boards : Number crunching : total data transmission (Message 13214) Posted 31 Mar 2006 by Dotsch Post: I'd like to know what the average work unit size is and what the results size is. The WU is about 25 KBs, and the result file about 35 KBs.
