Me too :-( [damn buttons -:)]

And here is the explanation:

The BOINC FAQ Service


Me too, this newbie coding had the following effects:

- killed the WU
- killed the boinc client
- killed the boinc manager

Not even a system restart could fix it and make BOINC run again.

I received the following messages when forcing boinc.exe to load:



I had to delete the whole LHC directory to make it work again...

Thank you very much!

Post:
Some of the WUs I got from the last batch are pending even though all the other PCs that crunched THE SAME WUs got their credit (even those that reported it AFTER me).
Here\'s an example:

and here are the credits given to others but not to me:

6.3.14 is a development version. I suggest going back to 6.2.15 and only upgrade with the next non-dev release. Non-dev releases have an even number after the 6.


LHC doesn\\\\\\\'t play nicely with 6.x.x clients:

http://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/index.php \\\\\\\"The scientists are looking into the 6.X issues with BOINC as well. Thanks, Neasan\\\\\\\"

The OP should go back to 5.10.x


Thanks for the reply guys, good to know that.

Anyway I can\'t go back to any other versione because I need this one to run GPUGrid fine. Too bad for LHC@Home, hope they fix the issue soon

All completed without errors, all claimed less credits than the other PCs, all resulted invalid.

I\'m running Ubuntu 64 and BOINC 6.3.14.

The CPU is OCed to 2.5Ghz (former 2Ghz) but it used to work fine.

Everything happened with the last batch of WU, which I received AFTER installation of BOINC 6.3.14.

Anyone else reports the same issue?

Is it my imagination or are these 1mil turn wu\\\'s taking longer than they used to? Seems like they\\\'re not spinning up as fast as they used to.


I noticed that too. Quite longer, I may add. Around 33%

Normal, don't worry.

Plus, it's a server-side error, so it won't affect your machine.

In the end we need someone to give us the money we need, and we keep bidding for money trying to get up and running as best we can and we haven't got it.


Can you give us the e-mail of the person at CERN that decides which projects get money and which ones don't?
I think a couple thousands e-mails could perhaps convince him to lend you a few bucks..

a) We have a second project it's called the Grid. The LHC's computing needs are being fulfilled by that IF we can get something ported to BOINC we will but I reiterate we have no money. Also it's not just the download are you all willing to have large, hard drives, massive broadband connections and run only Scientific Linux (CERN edition) and not use your machines for anything else?


Isn't it possible to virtualize it? I'm fine with all the requests except "not use my machine for anything else"

But, anyway, as far as I'm concerned, I'd prefer a BOINC app.
I mean, there must be something a normal computer can do. Do you need 5-10-50GB of space for datas? Maybe you can use our bandwidth to transfer all datas around the world "torrent like"? Be creative ;)

On my machine it's the opposite: the 100k ones often last few seconds, the 1M ones "crash into the walls" only seldom

Post:
why lhc is a project that offers a granted credit lower than claimed credit? There is any reason?


Mi sembri italiano:

No, non c'� nessun motivo specifico di LHC. Solamente il solito quorum a 2. Evidentemente tu hai un claimed pi� alto dell'altro utente e quindi il punteggio scende al suo livello.

No, no specific reason: just the BOINC's quorum mechanism. You can read more at the BOINC website

EDIT: LOL ho visto che siamo nello stesso team. Se hai bisogno di aiuto ti conviene rivolgerti al nostro portale (ora che ne abbiamo uno): www.boincitaly.org

83k is the saturation only as long as they stay with the 10 per day limit.

Remove the limit and let the power users add a few thousands to the saturation point...
