Ohh.. I got two 'validate errors'.. 'hostid=5069275'

Maybe someone could let run the 'famous script'?


BTW.

This results were ULed before/during the weekly server maintenance and were reported ~ 20 hours later - after the server maintenance.


BTW.

What is the max. time between UL and report that everything will go well?

It can be quite a while between upload and report and still have everything go well. I had some tasks at Chess960 that were uploaded before one of the several months long outages. Some of them validated when they were reported after the outage.

Hmm.. two 'validate error' results are not enough for to let run the script..

One WU got the 3rd wingman and is now 'deleted'.

Matt's still on board, but we're all a little overworked today, so he may not post tech news today (even though he's probably still working right now).


really!

FYI (no critisism intendend, but this might be usefull information),
Here a small part of my stats-update-log (date's and times CET, dd-mm-yyyy):

08:30:01 08-03-2010 No new Berkeley data!? (TC check) | 68648042423.264809 <- 68648042423.264809 EXIT
08:30:01 08-03-2010 Previous successfull import : 02:17:43 07-03-2010
08:30:01 08-03-2010 Current Berkeley export : 00:31:14 08-03-2010

Translation, the only thing different about tonights export is the date, as it seems!

yes we've discussed it before on the "Panic Mode.." thread on the Numbers Crunching forum. The easiest way to fix it is to shutdown BOINC and restart. thats all it took for my machine. For future reference Technical news topics are a bad place to put your personal troubleshooting topics. please try and read the Q&A section as well as the Numbers crunching forums. Or just "search" for the key words.

Thank you.

Would you be so kind as to advise me as to where the "Q&A" is or how it can be reached?

Two points - In the time that I have been a member, I have seen many "personal topics" posted and addressed.

Next, there was no "panic" as you seem to indicate. I was merely inquiring to if this was yet another issue which impeding the reporting and downloading operations.

Again, thank you for the information and if you would respond to my question, that would be most helpful.

Possibly more to the point, on the front page, the third set of links is under the sobriquet COMMUNITY. The second item in the subordinate list is Questions and Answers. While the link provided in the prior message is convenient, giving you the information to find it yourself is also good.

I doubt that Matt took a holiday. We miss him dearly! In any case, it is my personal opinion that if Matt is not available for whatever reason, Eric c.s. would do well to keep us a little bit better informed about what takes place on the technical level. If only out of respect to all those crunchers all over the world who voluntary let their computers run for science.

It's not that the splitters have failed, it's that there's nothing for them to work on - and I'm wondering about that... have we used up all of SETI's "banked" data? Is Aracibo shut down again? Did someone forget to "hang a tape/some tapes"? :-)
