Yes, my oldest stuck AP is from Apr 13th. I'm sure someone has even older. They started happening immediately after AP version 6 started. |

I modified and compiled my boinc client for that... 7.0.53 works like it is 6.10.x all over again :-) |

Abandoned tasks - Ongoing issue
(Message 1342197)
Posted 84 days ago by Khangollo
Is anybody able to confirm me that newer versions will take care of the cleaning? I can confirm that it doesn't. I was using 7.0.x when it happened to me (four times so far) and all tasks stayed, wasting time and electricity like there is no tomorrow. In my case, it always happened during constant scheduler timeouts. And no, I totally don't believe it's a security issue (as in someone trying to fake your host ID). Definitely another bug in server software. It all started happening suddenly, exactly at the same time than scheduler troubles, months ago. |

False "abandoned" tasks
(Message 1339881)
Posted 93 days ago by Khangollo
When a task is marked 'abandoned', there's a server timestamp for the event on the website task list. It happens during scheduler requests that time out (when S@H scheduler is misbehaving). Server accepts request and sends response, but it gets lost and never gets back to the client. Then the next request attempt has a chance of triggering this task abandonment bug. This is at least how I observed it happened to me. |

Not your computer's fault, it's seti@home. Nothing you can do on your side... except abort those tasks on your computer, because even if you complete them, they'll get ignored. This happened to me 3 times already, starting after problems with the scheduler timing out began. Not so much set & forget anymore... :( |

Besides being slow, TightVNC is severely limited (as well as other *VNCs). Doesn't work past login screen in Win 7. Doesn't work with lock screen in Win 7. It all worked in XP. Being unable to logout or even lock screen is a huge drawback for me and I can't use it to access my computer at work. But then again I hear CUDA crunching in BOINC has the same awful drawbacks in Win7 so this might not be problematic in your case. |

What is this? Another poorly designed web page? Oh no, it's new M$ Office! Having Word now designed for tablets is funny. Yeah, I'll stick with Office 2003 (!) and OpenOffice alright. |

So this is how S@H would work without AP and 10-day cachers. Smooth. I only wish they would set up better limits than absolute per host. |

What has happened ???!!! Yes, this is normal seti@home function now. Auto abandoning all tasks at random. Apparently, I got full cache of 22 astropulses abandoned yesterday (again!). This is the third time this happened to me. Usually it happens when scheduler connection times out a lot. Fun. You should manually abort all those tasks now. |

Happened to me twice already since the troubles with scheduler began. First time I got 900+ tasks nuked and a week later another full cache of 200 (including 100 astropulses). Always happened when scheduler requests were repeatedly timing out for a while. Just another normal S@H operation, I'm afraid... What will happen when I return the >700 tasks which SETI for some reason thinks are abandoned? Should I manually abandon them? You should abort all those ASAP, as they will get ignored! |

If admins deserve "bashing" then it's this: they could literally take 3 minutes of their time and write a front page news post, mentioning timeout/network problems, so volunteers would know it's not problem on their side. Right now, we have people posting their problems all over the place in every subforum, reinstalling boinc, rebooting, (un)plugging network cables, looking for proxies, etc... |

Are you using a proxy- guess what? I just got my first abandoned tasks, 200 of them. Welcome to the club. :-) I didn't use any proxy when it happened. Meh... just another not so set-and-forget thing that could happen at S@H. If you don't notice that all tasks were abandoned, boinc will just continue to crunch them into oblivion, wasting time and power. Looks like it's best to have a minimum cache or check your tasks every day. It really got my goat when I saw my 100 AP tasks nuked... |

No, I don't. Like I said, it happened on the server side! My host didn't even succeed in making a scheduler request. This is the second time it happened. I'm not the only one this happened to; there were other users reporting the same thing. Linux/x64, BOINC 7.0.39 Others have had it happen on Windows (don't know about BOINC version, most definitely not 7.0.39). I don't think it's client's fault but server's - I assume it receives a malformed request (due to networking problems) and thinks project was reset. Client wasn't even notified about that and continued to crunch already abandoned tasks so I had to manually abort them (ok, I accidentaly aborted a few more tasks that weren't "abandoned"). I had to use proxy for that otherwise that computer on that ISP rarely manages to contact scheduler without timing out. |

All my tasks got auto-aborted over night, once again!!! No, I don't. Like I said, it happened on the server side! My host didn't even succeed in making a scheduler request. This is the second time it happened. I'm not the only one this happened to; there were other users reporting the same thing. |

My RAC has been steadily declining and I have noticed that the task list for two of my rigs show most of the assigned tasks under Error, and the status as abandoned. Could anyone tell me why this might occur. The rigs still have all the tasks and are crunching them, but obviously, not gaining any credit for the work being done. Should I reset the rig or is this something that will get sorted out automatically? The same happened to me on one computer. After thousands of scheduler timeouts, one request apparently got mangled/misinterpreted enough, server thought I reset the project and decided to abandon all tasks. That's at least what I think what happened... In any case, you should delete (abort) all those tasks with boinc manager, as they will not get automatically deleted and server will just ignore them (you won't get any credit; they were already marked abandoned for you and re-sent to other crunchers). |

Limits now are NOT 50/cpu core, they are fixed and less than 200 WUs per HOST, BTW. So that was the fix. |
