Ubuntu 10.04, Intel Core Duo. Nvidia N9500GT. glibc 2.11.1 Suggestions on how to either avoid the segv or avoid astropulse? ID: 1037851 ·

Your Computer -> Seti@Home preferences -> Edit -> check only Seti@Home Enhanced, uncheck "If no work for selected applications is available, accept work from other applications?" -> Save changes to the web site. At the next time your BOINC contacts Seti, it'll use those preferences. As for "process got signal 11", see this FAQ.

I just realized (looking at task pages on Seti website) that while Astropulse almost always segv's it has completed on a couple of occasions (credit pending verification). ID: 1037871 ·

Again, thanks for the tip. Just FYI, 14 astropulse tasks got Signal 11, 2 completed and are pending verification. ap_client_version 6.10.17 Many had Signal 11 failures after 10+ chunks (mainloop()), a few failed on the first chunk.

But difficult to trace, as are all segvaults. Jord Ancient Astronaut Theorists can tell you that I do not help with tech questions via private message. Please use the forums for that. ID: 1037965 ·

Been tracing Unix segfaults since ~1980 and some of them have been very very difficult to understand. Some of them my own fault :-) ID: 1038146 ·
