OK.....the kitties have sniffed through all my results tables and found the following.... This is an awfull lot of valid work, crunch time, and credits zapped by the invalidator ray.. It appears that this just started in the last few days. Eric...can you help restore the credits? 648937048 647001957 647001265 646999777 646999739 640680715 640680521 639910664 639717967 639663813 639574896 639248014 639115280 639026676 639000652 639000260 644089176 641325076 541325052 641324192 641323152 641025327 641025325 640955539 640955455 640954505 640954499 640954457 640954441 640953957 640953461 640953291 540951093 640948291 640948013 640948007 640948005 640947985 640946373 640944997 646951969 646951891 646951833 646951433 644637073 644434038 644054389 643902177 643827542 643827372 341219046 647868991 647824897 647155947 646715297 644226829 644210900 644210780 643896237 645685830 644903333 644602316 646977809 645925519 645925161 645775957 645436505 645401115 645321143 645095611 645032687 644462043 640954109 651080965 649651415 649594344 649353544 "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once." |

This is a stock Acer Laptop PC running Microsoft Visa Home Premium with BOINC installed in C:\\BOINC\\... Have tried running BOINC as Administrator and as User with Administrator privileges ... it makes no difference. The ones that do crash do so after only a few seconds or few minutes of crunching... seems Vista does not like it sometimes when SETI moves workunit files in and out of the "slots" sub folder. The error only happens on SETI. It passed Memtest with no problems. Host ID 3867792: More compute errors ... |

I've just had my first "Validate Error" too. :-) WU #171762189 threw up a validate error on my host. What is interesting is that both of the other hosts who've returned results so fat are Macs, and their results are showing as "checked but no consensus yet" (which indeed is why the WU was issued to my host). Be interesting to see what the next cruncher makes of it, he's running WinXP. :-) TTFN - Pete. |

And another one for me http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/workunit.php?wuid=174351975 I've stopped uploading my results until this is fixed. Don't think I want to try and get past the invalidator. Hopefully this will be fixed by tomorrow eve. |

Any chance of getting credit for these two? A lot of crunch time for no credit :( http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=647655976 http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=647655896 |

Any chance of getting credit for these two? A lot of crunch time for no credit :( Hi Philadelphia. Here, we all hope that Eric can do something to recover the lost credits... But, you are overclaiming credits in your results using 2.2B chicken app's with the old multiplier... The right thing (I think) could be that you recover the real credits, not the overclaimed...:) Logan. BOINC FAQ Service (Ahora, también disponible en Español/Now available in Spanish) |

My Validate errors started on November 1: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=650088221 http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=649757907 http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=649654286 http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=648783590 http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=649089900 http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=637215625 http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=636989879 http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=636985717 http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=636978469 http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=636923867 This equates into a loss of almost 700 claimed credit. Probably a mear pittance when compared to msattler's loss. So is the problem at our end or at SETI's? Combined with losses on my Vista computer due to the "Client Error" problem when shutting down is aggravating. I hope it all get corrected soon. WORK HARD! PLAY HARD! |

My Validate errors started on November 1: It seems a SETI problem... Dr. Eric is searching a solution to fix it... (if I understood well... of course) See at this thread The Validation Shuffle..... In this thread you can find some ways to reduce the impact meanwhile the problem is solved Be patient...:) Logan. BOINC FAQ Service (Ahora, también disponible en Español/Now available in Spanish) |

Thanks for the note Logan. Dr.Erik's script has restored all but these: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=636985717 http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=637215625 http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=649757907 I'm guessing it's a work in progress and that there are very, very many Validate Errors to be corrected. Thank you Dr. Erik! Kevin WORK HARD! PLAY HARD! |

Any chance of getting credit for these two? A lot of crunch time for no credit :( I'm aware of 2.2B, it's on a computer of a friend across town, unfortunately I rarely get over there and therefore have been unable to update it. He knows almost nothing about computers so he's unable to update it on his own. On my personal computers I have, both are updated to the newer versions. Whenever I'm over there I'll update it, I just don't know when that will be. As far as recovering credits, I agree that whatever the proper credit should be is the number that should be recovered. PS - I noticed that the folks at SETI did grant the credits for those two, at the correct rate. Thanks. |

I just got this one don't know why, maybe a server problem? http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/workunit.php?wuid=176231462 Pete. |

Got several more validate errors when I checked today. One from yesterday and four from today. http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=650584728 http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=650792434 http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=637254233 http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=650584728 http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=650792434 I think the time that todays were received was prior to the weekly downtime for maintenance. Does anyone know if this issue was corrected today during maintenance? Thanks! Kevin WORK HARD! PLAY HARD! |

I just got this one don't know why, maybe a server problem? AFAIK, Validate Errors are always a server problem. If you look at http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/explain_state.php?field=result_outcome they are explained there. "Validate error The task was reported but could not be validated, typically because the output files were lost on the server." BTW, AFAIK = as far as I know, BTW = by the way. I think we need a glossary somewhere to help new users and those whose first language is not English. |
