81) Message boards : Number crunching : Fun (Message 10427) Posted 26 Sep 2005 by keputnam Post: <blockquote>I am having fun with a 5A Wu on my 856 Mhz machine. It is goung to take 22 hrs to do without rotating with other boinc.Because I am it is going to take 44 hrs to do and should I repeat should be finished round about 20:00 BT tomorrow the 21st has anyone had any longer than this?</blockquote> On one of my slower machines (PII 450/Win98se, I aborted a WU after 109 hours that still had over a 60 hours to go, and less than 15 to Deadline.

83) Message boards : Number crunching : 340 Hour Completion Estimate? (Message 8146) Posted 20 Jun 2005 by keputnam Post: http://lhcathome.cern.ch/result.php?resultid=1362189 shows a 340Hr completion estimate in BoincView (after running for almost 5 hours). Granted it's on my slowest machine (a PIII 450) but still . . .
84) Message boards : Number crunching : New version of Boinc (Message 8039) Posted 9 Jun 2005 by keputnam Post: > > New version 4.45 now shown as recommended version > > > recommended by whom? Seti guys? LHC staff? Anyone out there? > LHC and CPDN still have 4.19 on their download page. All the other projects link to the Boinc download page which lists 4.45 as the current recommended release.

(If you look at the other results, they are all closer to what would be expected)
86) Message boards : Number crunching : New units (Message 6772) Posted 31 Mar 2005 by keputnam Post: > Heck the workunits went so fast only 2 of my 4 boxes got hooked up with work. > Someone said 1500+ to crunch and it must of went in less than an hour.....If I > had just left a little later this am.... would have loaded up the other 2 :( > funny it was my fastest and slowest machine that got loaded lol > Was my one slowest machine that got a WU!

90) Questions and Answers : Windows : LHC ignoring preferences and trying to connect (Message 4502) Posted 27 Oct 2004 by keputnam Post: That setting is only valid if you connect via modem, but is buggy at best. The developers are aware of this, but all modem related problems seem to be at the bottom of the list(from what I've read in the forums, anyway)
91) Questions and Answers : Windows : error 113 when starting (Message 4500) Posted 27 Oct 2004 by keputnam Post: Basically -113 means that youare already running a copy of boinc_gui. If you have un-installed/re-installed recently, make sure that only one shortcut to the EXE is in your startup folder
92) Questions and Answers : Windows : No Client from LHC (Message 4347) Posted 26 Oct 2004 by keputnam Post: The server has been overloaded almost all day. (see the message on the Project Home Page). Just recently I've finally gotten several uploads to go through, so hopefully the team has things figured out and the server load will stay down.
93) Questions and Answers : Windows : LHC AND BOINC 4.13 (Message 4136) Posted 23 Oct 2004 by keputnam Post: Runs fine for me. CC4.13 and Seti/LHC/Pirates/CPDN/Predictor (They have a shipping notice from DELL 0 The new server is on the way - Finally) What specifically does LHC say when you try to register? Double Check that you have no leading or trailing spaces in either the URL or in your access code

In practice, it's a toss up. CPDN appears to be operating normally. All of my machines have a WU so don't know if they are currently handing them out. I haven't gotten a new LHC WU in days (they were having hardware problems/maintenance. Seti seems to be handing them out, Predictor is still waiting on their new Dell server, Pirates is on internal testing only Also, edit your sig - remove the ">" after img and before src
96) Questions and Answers : Windows : Workunit disappeared while upgrading to boinc 4.12 (Message 3810) Posted 14 Oct 2004 by keputnam Post: My LHC WUs are one thing The CPDN WU that had been crunching for 2 months is a whole 'nother story
97) Questions and Answers : Windows : File Size error - Updated (Message 3567) Posted 11 Oct 2004 by keputnam Post: Updated: I got this about 5 times, then 5 more WUs downloaded normally.

Well, I'm getting the file size error, followed by the MD5 error. 2004-10-11 16:24:47 [LHC@home] Giving up on download of v64lhc1000profive23s12_14561.92_1_sixvf_14674.zip: Downloaded file had wrong size: expected 277041, got 0 2004-10-11 16:24:47 [LHC@home] Giving up on download of v64lhc1000profive23s18_20517.73_1_sixvf_17180.zip: Downloaded file had wrong size: expected 277041, got 0 md5_file: can't open projectslhcathome.cern.chv64lhc1000profive23s12_14561.92_1_sixvf_14674.zip 2004-10-11 16:24:47 [LHC@home] MD5 computation error for v64lhc1000profive23s12_14561.92_1_sixvf_14674.zip: -108 2004-10-11 16:24:47 [LHC@home] Checksum or signature error for v64lhc1000profive23s12_14561.92_1_sixvf_14674.zip md5_file: can't open projectslhcathome.cern.chv64lhc1000profive23s18_20517.73_1_sixvf_17180.zip 2004-10-11 16:24:47 [LHC@home] MD5 computation error for v64lhc1000profive23s18_20517.73_1_sixvf_17180.zip: -108 2004-10-11 16:24:47 [LHC@home] Checksum or signature error for v64lhc1000profive23s18_20517.73_1_sixvf_17180.zip 2004-10-11 16:24:47 [LHC@home] Unrecoverable error for result v64lhc1000profive23s12_14561.92_1_sixvf_14674_0 (WU download error: couldn't get input files: v64lhc1000profive23s12_14561.92_1_sixvf_14674.zip: MD5 computation error

100) Questions and Answers : Windows : BOINC GUI Won't Initialize (Message 3291) Posted 6 Oct 2004 by keputnam Post: "Failed to cleanup the Windows Socket Interface" generally means that you have tried to start the GUI twice. For the other. Do you have BOINC set to run as a service? If so, the GUI may be erroring because the service is running. any entries in the NT/W2k Log files?
