You are right for the TV version...

Check out Flatt & Scruggs first performance on the Grand Ole Opry in Dec 1961, if you can find it, that is! (short of going to the Opry and digging through the archives!)

I am *NOT* a lumberjack! :)

You got it...

I would be interested in what version of Mozilla you are using that causes problems. Mine doesn't (1.7.3) have an issue, nor does AOL (8.0 and 9.0), nor does IE (6.0). I even tried Netscape 4.73 and all was well.

No political agenda assumed... Now, as long as no other political banners appear in the groups, we are in good shape.

We'll have to wait and see if the 4.46 siztrack fixes/prevents the problem(s).

Still strange...

The 2 "fixed" PCs are working OK and have shown no further problems.

Interestingly, one of the PCs that has (so far) shown no problems on sixtrack 4.43 just downloaded sixtrack 4.46.

Looks like LHC has figured out that there is a problem with the 4.45 that caused so many problems.

Early this AM (0500 Pacific) I had another machine go nuts.

I applied the fix that I detailed below and all seems well now.

The second PC freaked out as soon as it downloaded siztrack 4.45 (it had 4.43 before).

Sorry, Girlieman, but this does not look like a BOINC core app issue. If it were BOINC, how can it be explained that this happens only with the LHC sixtrack 4.45 app installed?

Here is my current "scorecard:

4 PCs running BOINC 4.09 on W2K Pro SP4 + all updates

2 PCs running sixtrack 4.43 and are OK

2 PCs running sixtrack 4.45 and have freaked

It should be noted that after doing the "fix" I detailed in an earlier message that both of the 4.45 machines seem to be OK. Also note that this "fix" has only been tested for ~19-20 hours so far and may not be the end-all solution.

Based on the fact that my "fix" and that other users have replaced the client_state.xml file and both seem to get things working again, that makes me think that there is not so much of a problem with the sixtrack 4.45 app as there may be an issue with the "upgrade" from 4.43 to 4.45, perhaps in the installer.

I am now waiting for the other 2 PCs to "upgrade" to siztrack 4.45 and go belly up. Yes, I have considered detaching from LHC before that happens, but to what end? How can the problem(s) be found if no one can provide the LHC team with information?

Anyway...

As far as the politics, I like being right... Wing. :)

The fix that I detailed earlier seems to be working... The freaky machine has now completed and upload 2 LHC and 1 SETI unit as well as switched normally to CPDN for a few runs there.

It is worth noting that the problem was VERY reproducable until I deleted the LHC and Pirates folders from the BOINC|PROJECTS folder.

I'll continue to watch things on my 4 BOINC machines to see if they remain stable.

I think this is pretty clearly related to LHC, perhaps to sixtrack v4.45.

Have a great night!

OK...

Here is what I have found on my 4 BOINC machines.

1 machine freaked out. The other 3 are OK.

The machine that is on crack has sixtrack v4.45

The other 3 have v4.43

Now... The freaky machine is the one that I went through the gyrations below with. It is now crunching a WU with siztrack 4.45 and seems to be OK, at least so far.

Someone want to guess WTF is going here?

Forgot to add... To correct the problem:

1) I shut down BOINC

2) I detached from both LHC and Pirates

3) In the BOINC\PROJECTS folder, I deleted the folders for both projects

4) Restarted BOINC

5) Re-attached to Pirates

I am now also re-attached to LHC and it is downloading work... I'll let you know how it woks out.

Same here... LHC is hijacking other projects, especially Pirates.

Why does that sound strange... :)
