Thanks Sten ,but I don't understand all that stuff :(
If I can't just press a button and go,(in life as well as computing),
i'm just stuck till something else happens and I can move along :)

EDIT: Looks like somebody has given the server a proper boot :)

You see.If you just sit back,somebody else will get you going again ;)
(A big THANKYOU to whoever is working at berkley today !!)

Well the yellow peril has eaten all the green stuff,
nothing left on the cricket front,
the graph has hit the deck.

Time for a panic attack.
Now then, what size shot shall I load the eight bore with.

My thoughts eggxactly, buckyballshot. ;)

Cricket has again risen from the dead.
Yup, yer can realy open doors wit one o them n git tings moovin . . .

Would that be buckyballshot C60. C70, C76, etc
Though C4 can move mountains :¬)

I tend to prefer 30mm in bursts of 3.. or the old fallback 40mm quad..

Cheers,

Cliff,
Been there, Done that, Still no damm T shirt!

I had an astropulse download pretty quick today, over 90 kbs with no back off. What's up? :)

Scheduler's is still a bit iffy. Some requests time out but most get a reply eventually.
But whatever they did sorted out the download problem- they're coming along nicely, no more instant timeouts.



EDIT- The Scheduler's definately got it's panties in a twist. More & more requests are timing out.

Good or Bad Friday? In any way a Friday, in the morning we're out of work, due to those time-outs. Oh well, time to fire up Primegrid. ;-)

Egads, what now???
My top rig has been unable to complete a scheduler request for almost an hour.
It makes the request, contacts the server, but the server never answers back.
I can see in my task list it is issuing new tasks, but never completes the request so they can be downloaded.

i too was having this problems.
but i just updated my files because Mr.raistmer has updated some code

http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=67578

that is if you might be using his code.

Fix it till it breaks, then Fix it again so it is Fixed right

I'm getting responses to about 1 in 5 requests. And mostly it's to re-issue lost tasks from previous failed requests.

I can't say that I'm having any problems here other than the constantly repeated "reached a limit on tasks in progress". :(

Cheers.

The same here, except it is about 1 in 3 request. That's OK, I am still getting work to do.

I'm getting a little bit. Not a whole lot, but for a few minutes a little while ago, just about every work request was giving me 1 AP. Now it's been an hour or so and I haven't gotten any more.

Scheduler contact takes about 30-45 seconds, and the downloads (using .13) start running the first try and go 20-50KB/sec.

Linux laptop:
record uptime: 1511d 20h 19m (ended due to the power brick giving-up)

It does seem to have loosened up a bit. Most scheduler request are going through now.
The kitties breath a sigh of relief.

12 hours since anyone had a panic attack. That can't be right, it just has to be something to panic about. :-)

No panic! Murphy's law has become true!

Ah.
But.
As soon as Murphy`s law come`s true it sue`s itself in court for more than it was ever worth and does something totaly unpredictable,
which is in it`s self predictable, though that outcome is also impossible to predict.
I think i had better go and have forty winks to recover from that bit of quantum theory.

How about having to hit update 7 time in order to force a contact with the server.. No panic as such, just extremely jarred off with this perpetual comms snafu..

Try downgrading to 6.10.60 to avoid th 6.12.xx backoffs. Made a massive world of difference this end. Suddenly it's like the olde dayse!

Yup, did that myself a few months ago cos i was totaly backed off with the crazy backoff`s.

I think I'll wait it out:-) After all its v7 next is'nt it? Then its lunatics kit and the fun and games start again:-)

The backoffs believe it or not, are not the problem so much as the very patchy comms between boinc and its home turf..

Backoffs are cured by highlighting the entire download queue and then hitting retry whenever 1 of them stalls.. The 1st backoff makes it easy to gather the lot and hammer the d/l until all are in.

So far today I've had about 3 WU stall.. no more but failed updates are another story.. But if I repeatedly hit update, when boinc times out the first time, then by update hit 3 or 4 or 7 its in contact and the d/l proceeds smoothly.

If I'm asleep then Ray's SIV will handle the backoffs, more slowly then me, but it gets it done.

Cheers,

A lightbulb blew earlier, AND I DON'T HAVE A SPARE! :) Other than that I'm still waiting for my astropulse times to get down to what they actually are. At the moment they're at 197hrs :)
