Meow! Kitties haz kibbles!

Were mostly shorties earlier, but looks like some more robustness is coming down the pipe now.

As one would expect after the extended outage, lots of 'no work available' and stuffed up downloads.

But far superior to cold crunchers.

And it makes me pull my hair out. I think this is the only boinc project I belong to that does it. I ask for new tasks on other projects I get new tasks, a no tasks available or down for maintenance message. But when I request tasks from seti, I get the 'not requesting tasks' message.

I was getting "not requesting tasks" on several of my systems that had 0-2 tasks with 8 cores/threads on the system. Those systems have 2 other projects attached, but have a resource share of 0 to be back up projects. Though one was set to NNT. BOINC was not requesting work for the other projects either.

I figured it was some issue with the 6.12.4x release I was running. So I went back to the 6.12.3x & everything seems to be going along fine again.

Noticed a marked reduction in my house's energy consumption - turns out I'm out of SETI work :(

I think this is the first time I've managed this...

Not complaining because it sure is nice to see.

I'm excited! I'm building a cache! Every 5 minutes when the next scheduler request happens, I'm getting 1-2 APs about every 3-5 requests. So far I'm sitting on ~2 days worth of cache. I [u]should[/b] fill all the way up around 55-60 APs. Just have to keep babysitting the update button since after ~3 requests that don't give me anything, the interval creeps upward.

edit: and got a B3_P1. Went ahead and ran that one to get it out of my cache. I thought there was a B5 channel that acted up a lot, too. Don't remember if it was P0 or P1 though.

Anyone notice that all but 1 of the AP channels have ended in error??

That's been pretty common since the software blanking process began a while back.

since 15hrs now i dont have any cuda units on my big one, and in 4-5 hrs i wont have any cpu ones too :S

and my BOINC stupidly refuse to ask seti for tasks since 16 hrs. whatever i try , a real bull head

i m waiting to have everything empty and then will roll down BOINC version.
this 6.12.34 is completly stupid.

Use 6.10.58 as that is what I use, You'll like it much better than 6.12.xx...

ya that s what i'll do, i m just extremly scared to make the rollback with units in my BOINC directory. scared to lose them all. so i m waiting im 99.9% empty.

and i guess i ll have to reinstall lunatic after ? and make a save of my app_info.xml ?

You could make a backup copy of both the Boinc folder and You Boinc Data folder, the Data folder is likely to be hidden, But If you change the folders location to a folder in C:\ named Boinc-files, You'll always know "where the bodies are buried at" as the saying goes.

Typically.. suspend network communications, suspend all crunching, set "no new tasks", shut down BOINC, make a copy of the data dir. Sometimes you can just install a different version over what's already installed, but you may have to uninstall for a downgrade like that.

Start your "new" version up. Do you still have a cache? Any errors in the message log? If "yes" and "no," resume crunching. Do they run like they should? If "yes," you're good to go. If "no," then you'll need to figure out what went wrong, and is exactly why you make a backup of the data dir before doing anything, because you can just restore the data dir if you trashed the whole cache and try something else to fix it.

Saving a copy of your app_info is always a good idea but you shouldn't have any problem switching BOINC versions. Your app_info and all your work should be okay.

I use 6.10.58 as well and have rarely had issues if any.

---

6.10.60 is here, but someone might have a copy of the 6.10.58 file lying around.

so where i can find this windows_x86_64 6.10.58 ?
(windows 7 64bits)

You can go to http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/?C=M;O=D, this is the list of all BOINC clients, released versions as well as Alpha versions.

The 64bit 6.10.58 file there is the wrong size. I seem to recall that being mentioned elsewhere recently.

---

You really should be OK with the 6.10.60 version I linked in my first message. There weren't any major changes between .58 and .60.

Meow!!! Do I ever have happy kitties!
Was a bit afraid of what I'd find when I got home from work.
Very pleasantly surprised that even with the extended outage, I was able to build some cache over the day and the kibble bowls are in much better state of fill than I expected. Even with the bandwidth maxxed all day.

Well done, Seti servers and the boyz in da lab!

Looking pretty good this side of the pond.

Almost got a full cache, there is a lot of shorties in it but work is work.
