This one was listed as 'initial' but was not given credit. A second result was also listed as 'initial' and was given credit. Strangely, they claimed the same amount of credit. Is there an error here?

Yes, you are running Chicken 2.2 which has a problem. Upgrade to 2.2B.

You need to pick up the 2.4 version of Simon's optimized app, I think that might take care of these. You are still using 2.2b.

I can't tell from the work unit, but I notice you are running the 64 bit application and the only thing I see in the core client version is the stock header. Are you running a 64 bit version of BOINC? If not, then you must either switch the BOINC client to a 64 bit version or use a 32 bit application. You can use a 32 bit application under 64 bit BOINC, but not the other way around.

Yes, I've heard of that requirement. I've been running 32-bit Boinc and 64-bit Seti app for about a year on Linux and haven't had any problems. This is, however, a Windows machine, so I take this is a pure 64-bit Windows problem.

Thank you for a hint, I no longer see any failed validations.

Just as I wrote my last post, a new validate problem appeared again!

http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=594475631

Boinc is 64-bit Window version 5.10.13 from boinc.berkeley.edu
Windows application is 2.4_Windows_x64_SSSE3.
(from http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/beta/forum_thread.php?id=1002)
Connect time is set to 3.25 days.

Any ideas?

You are running a 64 bit BOINC Application and an optimised Seti Application. While Simon and Crew do not test (nor have the people/resources) to test everything... You may have been caught. So to an extent, I recommend going out to lunatics.at and posting this information. Please includes links to the Results that have failed to validate. That said if you are running an optimized Seti Application it is not Seti's fault.

I do not have a clue as to what might be going wrong. I am running crunch3r's 64 bit Boinc client (5.9 vintage) and his latest 64 bit app (as posted on Simon's site) on XP x64. I just checked my OCd x64 quad's results, and I do not have a single validation error. Maybe it is with the 5.10.13 Boinc client? One would not think the client could cause validation errors but????

Sutaru's Because of the 'validate errors' thread identifies one way the core client could cause validate errors, by not getting the right "command" into what it POSTs to the upload handler. I still think that case may be a firewall or something borking the POSTs, though.

The same could apply to Michael's case, I recommend he look at the messages around the time the uploads occur. Or perhaps the apparent issue of reporting too soon after the upload completes is in play. Reporting is tied to work fetch calculations, so can happen at any time. Having something other than zero for connect interval makes it less likely the report will be sent immediately, but does not prevent it from happening. The "Received" time on a result page identifies when it was reported, checking the messages just before that time to see if the upload was close is recommended.

I will try to downgrade to the Crunch3r's 5.9 core client and see if the problem goes away. I will let you know in a day or two...

Update: 8/23/2007 5:05:18 PM 64 Platform changed from windows_x86_64 to windows_intelx86 - resetting projects

Argh :)

michael37,

could you look in 'stdoutdae.txt' in your BOINC-folder and look for 'no command' entries?
Open this file with your Editor and then [work on] and then [search]

Because I have sometimes 'no command' entries and then 'validate errors'

You don't overclock your PC, or?

I thought my 'validate errors' are because of bad OC.. so I reduced the OC..
But if you have 'no command' entries too and you don't OC, then it must be a problem with my LAN-connection..



BTW.
If I have a bad OC, the LAN-port (connection) could be disturbed because of this?
I OC only with increase the FSB without changing the voltage of the CPU.
I changed ONLY the voltage of the RAM from 1.84 to 2.12 (800 RAM @ 937 MHz)(with active cooling)

It could be that I have an old driver for the LAN-port? This could make this problem? Or an other software prob?

No, no 'no command' entries.

Those are several identical rackmounted servers with ECC RAM and other goodies. They are not even over-clockable :) And they all experience validate errors

Speaking of parsing the log, check this out. This is the failed to validate result http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=594959001. I think this is clearly a core client error, not Seti application error. Only three seconds betwee computation finish and result upload. Note that I DO NOT use the '-return_results_immedeately' option.
