I just set up BOINC on a FreeBSD machine for the first time. It connects to the project ok, but every WU downloaded has a wrong file size, always larger than expected. Of course the checksum fails on these too. Every one looks like this: 195: 08-Mar-2013 15:13:36 (low) [SETI@home] Started download of 15my12ab.20217.6304.206158430217.10.107 203: 08-Mar-2013 15:14:03 (low) [SETI@home] Finished download of 15my12ab.20217.6304.206158430217.10.107 205: 08-Mar-2013 15:14:03 (internal error) [SETI@home] [error] File 15my12ab.20217.6304.206158430217.10.107 has wrong size: expected 375636, got 398420 206: 08-Mar-2013 15:14:03 (internal error) [SETI@home] [error] Checksum or signature error for 15my12ab.20217.6304.206158430217.10.107 Not sure where to begin troubleshooting something like this... |

Checked again this morning and it is still failing. I'm stuck. |

Good one, that fixed it. Now, I am getting 100% computation errors that I need to track down. I am beginning to think this machine is haunted or something. |

Never seen this one before. There doesn't seem to be any documentation for error code 8. <core_client_version>7.0.28</core_client_version> <![CDATA[ <message> process exited with code 8 (0x8, -248) </message> <stderr_txt> execv: Exec format error </stderr_txt> ]]> |

Good one, that fixed it. Now it would be interesting to know, why BOINC is doing such stupid things on different platforms and also different BOINC versions... Seems to be a bug or something. My "permanent fix" for this is btw. increasing the max. file size for stdoutdae.txt to 10MB and a script, which deletes the file on shutdown. You also have some of those in your Astropulse tasks, but no idea what that means: <core_client_version>7.0.28</core_client_version> <![CDATA[ <message> process got signal 11 </message> <stderr_txt> </stderr_txt> ]]> |

Is that a FreeBSD version of BOINC 7.0.28 that you are trying to use ? If so, you will need also a FreeBSD app to do Seti@home and/or AstroPulse work. These are not automatically downloaded, as far as i know. _\|/_ U r s |

Oddly enough, sometime over the weekend everything started working. I guess the ghosts in the machine finished their party and bugged out. I am strongly inclined to accept the situation without a lot of fuss, although it would be nice to know what was going on. Oh well... :) |
