Just come back with another failure. I thought I'd put both on here as they might narrow the bad batch down a bit. I've removed the guk so as I can get the details on one line, they all failed because the server rejected the file.

01mr04aa.18860.3056.247158.136_2_0
01mr04aa.18860.4018.897148.198_2_0

The first one was the one that failed earlier on. (mentioned in my last post) The second threw back a failure whilst I was writing the last post. Hence this message.

Seems these two WUs are fairly closely related if you know what I mean.

P.S: As I was in the process of writing the last post at the time, I wasn't watching to see if it ran on past completed or not.

---

Most of my WUs are failing now too. On all machines.

---

Seems to be a server problem and not a WU problem . . . cos different WU's are rejected . . . I just tested the upload and got 9 WU's rejected. Before I did that I did a backup of the whole BOINc folder . . . so now I put it back and continue the work where I stoped . . . if this is a Server problem than I'll get credit for 9 WU, if this is a WU bug than . . . well anyway. Since the processing is almost twice as lond I'll have enough to do for two Another two days.

Well... After another look at this thread I've extracted all the "bad" WU references from reports posted here...

If Jokla is right, maybe there is something different about these WUs, I don't know. Note however, how all the 14th March WUs that have failed have the first number as 17223. There are no duplicate entries in that list either! This leads me to suspect that dud WUs might be involved somewhere, even if we have a server problem compounding that issue. I'll add to this list if I get any more.

Keep copying and pasting those BOINC messages here. Maybe it'll help the dev team sort the thing out.

---

is it possible that boinc reports as "upload error" but uploads succesfully ? my last bad wu (if I remember correctly) seems to be uploaded succesfully. I could't check it very well because after getting two error messages I reduced the share of seti. Can you check it with your results? (since result pages are on)

---

So, here are mine nine

14mr04aa.17223.9696.228398.88_2

14mr04aa.17223.9696.228398.111_0_0

14mr04aa.17223.9696.228398.113_0_0
14mr04aa.17223.9696.228398.114_0_0


I just ckecked the results page everything is fine with the WU's.

here is an example for 14mr04aa.17223.9696.228398.109_2_0

Created: 7 Oct 2004 9:06:28 UTC

So, it looks like BOINc can't send the message that it's finished . . . but still I gonna keep the files in a backup for the case that something is wrong . . . But it has to be something wrong because the stats are not updates.

I think mine went missing as I only see wu's that worked ok in my results folder

I still have 2 14mr04aa WUs, 1 running, the other waiting to run. I will see what happens with my 01mr04aa WUs when they start running and uploading.

@Anyone running BoincLogX v1.11. I'm getting this message in the "History" list: "No heartbeat from core client - exiting. What does this mean? Did my core client have a cardiac arrest? Do I need to use a defibrolator on it? To me, this is a very wierd message. I've been getting it pretty much since I first installed BoincLogX.

L8R....

Siran,

Sorry, I'm running BoincLogX v1.12, and I have never had that problem. I do remember reading that some other users have experienced it, but I don't remember the solution, if there was one. Try upgrading to v1.12, it's available from the "Download BOINC add-on software" page.

BoincLogX v1.12 also shows LHC@home WU's in progress.

Cheers,

Not had any errors for 30 hours now.4.09 was running ok but I thought I would try 4.12 as it was released on here earlier today.Suddenly my wu's are completing in 4 hours and 50 mins instead of 6 hours and 20 mins.But with 4.03 they were completing in 3 hours and 20 mins(2 at once ht).Happy Crunching ;-)

Happy crunching

Now all in all 11 Wu's rejected, all 14mr04aa.xxxxx.xxxx.xxxxxx.xxx and I have another 9 WU from this series . . . . anyway. I uploaded them . . . . welllet them reject and now I'm downloading more. I found a way to have them all in BOINC . . . I'll put back the WU's and the result files to the folder . . . There won't be any problem, the only thing I can get is a message of duplicated files.

---

____________________________________________

Well.... do i have good news...

Before i left last night i disabled BOINC network access. As i returned this morn, and enabled network access, all result failed - server rejected file.

I backed up just in case and upgraded to 4.12 (Windows XP SP2). After install all WU's from 14mar and 01mar were sucessful!!

Few hours to go before 4.12 completes a couple of units...

---

...and here we go again.... Now all my boxes starts to fail during upload:

Any ideas?

Happy crunching

Peder, have you tried resetting the project to wipe all the older WU's from cache??

id do this before anything else.

---

Not getting any errors any more with Boinc 4.12 last 6 WU's uploaded OK. Work units were 01Mar04aa.

---

Got some WU's and I put bakc the falied WU's with the results to the cache folder and nope . . . They won't show up . . . looks like some files need to have them listed . . . well aynway, I'll get credit for these WU's, too, according to the results page . . .

---

____________________________________________

OK Nova Paul.. It does seem like a BOINC CC error. OK. Will download.

Another failure by the way.
01mr04aa.18860.5842.786080.144_0_0

Kinda sorta makes your mind up doesn't it.

---

Apparently the server is rejecting anything from the 4.09 client.

I had ZERO problems until this AM, when suddenly everything I tried to upload failed. A client upgrade seemed to take care of the problem...for now.

Stewie: So, is there any tread left on the tires? Or at this point would it be like throwing a hot dog down a hallway?
