Somethin' funny going on.... The server status page has not updated for an hour. That's usually not a good sign. Mebbe just generating the daily stats dump? EDIT... Finally updated...hopefully that's the end of that particular panic. ____________ ****** "Ask not, what your kitty can do for you. Ask what you can do for your kitty."

This morning's panic wasn't a panic - it was me upgrading the OS on the master science database server. The whole successful operation took about 90 minutes, during which some machines/processes hung for a bit. Expect a few more of those, which I can't always schedule during the normal Tuesday outages if I want to finish these upgrades already. - Matt ____________ -- BOINC/SETI@home network/web/science/development person -- "Any idiot can have a good idea.

Question. Why did the server problem 81 get locked. The last post showed an awesome machine. So I will comment here. WOW, WOW,WOW, I want one. I was wondering how he had 32 threads going out a 8 core. Did not expect two cpus. It just looks so clean. Now back to server problems. All I have been doing for 2 days is baby sitting this machine. Here is how it goes. Download 2 k and wait five minutes, stall, Shut down connection, restart connection. Download 2 k , stall. Repeat. I have tried to flush the dns and no joy there. What probably will fix this is a proxy. I have tried several but now I can seem to get one going. Does anyone have a good proxy address that I can use? Siv has given me some help but its the stalls that are beginning to give me more gray hair Thanks in advance. Michael Miles

I have been out most of the day and all 3 have maintained maximum WU's!! So as far as I am concerned there are no problems. In fact I am surprised at how fast it has recovered form the weekend. ____________

@ pending vs. validated: I've noticed that the tasks are getting validated fairly quickly, but it can be a few minutes, at least for APs anyway. I reported 3 of them this morning and went and checked the tasks page within a minute and they were pending, and I waited 30 seconds and hit refresh and they were validated. Same thing just happened again for reporting two more APs a few minutes ago, but it took about 4 minutes instead. Before the weekend's downtime, it was nearly instant. It may work itself out soon. ____________ Linux laptop uptime: 1484d 22h 42m Ended due to UPS failure, found 14 hours after the fact

I just looked at my computers. O MY. one has 138 time outs. The other one wont download anything. I see em but they just sit there blinking at me stuck at various % of downloadedness:)

When you run above boinc 6.10 you need something to perodiaclly reset the backoffs...

I have one, Its called moving my mouse over the retry button and clicking it till my finger cramps:)

Somethin' funny going on....
The server status page has not updated for an hour.
That's usually not a good sign.
Mebbe just generating the daily stats dump?

EDIT...
Finally updated...hopefully that's the end of that particular panic.

This morning's panic wasn't a panic - it was me upgrading the OS on the master science database server. The whole successful operation took about 90 minutes, during which some machines/processes hung for a bit. Expect a few more of those, which I can't always schedule during the normal Tuesday outages if I want to finish these upgrades already.

Upgrades are GOOD , Keep on keeping on Matt !
Does your statement mean that there is still going to be a tuesday outage after the last weekend downtime ?

Question. Why did the server problem 81 get locked. The last post showed an awesome machine. So I will comment here. WOW, WOW,WOW, I want one. I was wondering how he had 32 threads going out a 8 core. Did not expect two cpus. It just looks so clean.
Now back to server problems.
All I have been doing for 2 days is baby sitting this machine. Here is how it goes. Download 2 k and wait five minutes, stall, Shut down connection, restart connection. Download 2 k , stall. Repeat.
I have tried to flush the dns and no joy there.
What probably will fix this is a proxy. I have tried several but now I can seem to get one going. Does anyone have a good proxy address that I can use?
Siv has given me some help but its the stalls that are beginning to give me more gray hair

Thanks in advance.

Select USA and search. Currently 147.31.182.137 Port 80 is working quite well, but is not a secure proxy

have a bunch of GPU units trying to download , so far has taken a couple of hours to download about 6, and they are only short ones.

looks like it's going to be a long time before things are back to the so called normal level

Strange, I have 3 machines crunching S@H and when I got up this morning 08:00 UTC all three had dowloaded their maximum WU's.

I have been out most of the day and all 3 have maintained maximum WU's!!

So as far as I am concerned there are no problems. In fact I am surprised at how fast it has recovered form the weekend.

@ pending vs. validated:

I've noticed that the tasks are getting validated fairly quickly, but it can be a few minutes, at least for APs anyway. I reported 3 of them this morning and went and checked the tasks page within a minute and they were pending, and I waited 30 seconds and hit refresh and they were validated.

Same thing just happened again for reporting two more APs a few minutes ago, but it took about 4 minutes instead.

Before the weekend's downtime, it was nearly instant. It may work itself out soon.
