What's with the 2.73 MB tasks?
(Message 1227997)
Posted 5 May 2012 by Area 51 Post: Looking through my cache, I have 26 of them. Most are from 17616, and the remainder from 20903. The latest was sent @ 19:50 UTC, the rest have been sent every few hours from 07:22 UTC today. Should we pro-actively abort these tasks or let them fly and see what happens? OK, I'll let them go and see what happens with my current setup. It'll take until about midnight UK time tomorrow 'till they've all worked their way up to the top of the cache and had a shot at being processed. Let me know if you want any of the output data from them. |

Posted 30 Apr 2012 by Area 51 Post: This is all a bit odd!!! The daemon is running, the GUI is looking for localhost - you have work and the init file has execute permissions for all. That's the basics covered. Its been a long time since I ran BOINC under Linux and I am struggling tom understand why the daemon is not starting the processing. If you had damaged the files, I would have expected your cache to vanish - but it hasn't - its ready and waiting! Do you have any output in the log file? |

Posted 30 Apr 2012 by Area 51 Post: The reboot was was needed, because the machine was in a kind of a freezed state - it did not respond to anything (keyboard, three finger salute, mouse movement, .. not to anything). ...see below. What is the result of ls -l ? |

Posted 30 Apr 2012 by Area 51 Post: I think you have a permissions/access issues. You have a daemon running - you have work - good so far. However: /sbin/restorecon -v /etc/rc.d/init.d/boinc-client failed and that command should just be listing changes in file labels... What sort of disk setup have you got? Are you using symlinks anywhere in the BOINC setup? Did you do anything to change account policies prior to reboot, and what caused the reboot..... |

Posted 30 Apr 2012 by Area 51 Post: I just had to reboot my machine and it booted up Linux just fine (I'm typing on it Is there anything for the host to process? Have you had a look in your BOINC directory to see if you have any tasks on your host? I know there are tasks allocated to your linux host, but have they downlaoded? |

I have to agree - and looking at how many hosts this person is responsible for, I sure hope that they don't all have that sort of setting. Good grief - talk about selfishness. |

"Lost Task"
(Message 1223123)
Posted 25 Apr 2012 by Area 51 Post: What is a "lost task", as in "Sending Lost task" message A task that the servers allocated to your host - but effectively never arrived, or never finished arriving - perhaps due to network congestion. When your host reports, it tells the servers what it has in its cache - if that doesn't agree with what the server thinks you have, the servers resend any tasks your host hasn't got but should have. These lost tasks are often called ghosts. |

Upgrade from Win2k Advanced Server to XP?
(Message 1221426)
Posted 21 Apr 2012 by Area 51 Post: What is it that you want to avoid loosing? I think, assuming that most (if not all) of your desired applications are installed to their default Windows locations and have registry entires associated with those locations, your gut feeling is probably correct and that you cannot do it without something resembling a train wreck - even if you could get the installer to just give it a go (as I imagine what would happen is that all the existing windows directory structures would just be over-written). Having said all of that, is is not worth backing up the entire partition, disconnecting the network cable and just seeing how far along the install route the installer goes before complaining????? You could always recover if things got out of shape.... |
