I have 4Mbit/s / 512 Kb/s line and exerience the same problem all the time.

I do not think this is a problem as the client keeps running and crunching and even uploading, it only does not report completed WUs and update the credit from the seti servers. Also the computer stopped reporting only three days ago without any apparent change done. But I will have a look anyway. Thanks. Marek

3) Questions and Answers : Windows : No schedulers responding (Message 64275) Posted 13 Jan 2005 by Marek Post: The same problem. No solution on the horizon. It seems it is relatively frequent for couple of days on the Problems site.

4) Questions and Answers : Windows : Intermittent problem "No schedulers responded" (Message 64271) Posted 13 Jan 2005 by Marek Post: I have the same problem. One of 7 comuters crunches all the time, downloads WUs and keeps them in the state Ready to report. The funny thing is it downloads new WUs but does not update the project stats. All of the comoputers are connected to our LAN, all have the same system. Weird.

5) Questions and Answers : Windows : No schedulers responded (Message 64266) Posted 13 Jan 2005 by Marek Post: Now I have 17 completed WUs, ready to report and I do not want to lose them. Is there a way to keep them over reseting SETI?

6) Questions and Answers : Windows : No schedulers responded (Message 64226) Posted 13 Jan 2005 by Marek Post: I'm running SETI on 7 computers. Now all of them with the same system. And one of them is unable to connect to BOINC for over three of days. I have set the wU buffer to five days, so the machine has still enough to crunch, but I am annoyed as all the other computers do connect without any problems. Plenty of space, connection works with all ohter problem, it worked smooth for about a month. Updating doesn't help. Restarting the computer doesn't help. And I don't want to lose computed WUs. Any suggestions? Marek

7) Questions and Answers : Windows : How do we transfer credit from the "old" Seti? (Message 39808) Posted 24 Oct 2004 by Marek Post: As far as I understand, the old credit will not be transferred. Although there should exist a way how to translate the old credit to cobblestones. But with five years of technical development on the side of computers and at least two massively different types of WUs and computation methods it cannot be fair. On the other hand, no scoring is fully fair. But as I said: Enjoy your Classic SETI position, be secretly proud of your achievement and run again! Literally!

8) Questions and Answers : Windows : SETI@home status page is often several hours outdated (Message 38679) Posted 21 Oct 2004 by Marek Post: > It is now 2329 UTC, and the status page says 2320 UTC.

9) Questions and Answers : Windows : "No schedulers responded" although the technical status says they are all running (Message 38638) Posted 20 Oct 2004 by Marek Post: Sorry, I would expect a status page is a sort of engine being able to say automatically,whether a server is on or off. I have been volunteering with my computers since 1999 and I volunteer on various projects myself. Among the main and most demanding I can mention three children... :-)

10) Questions and Answers : Windows : SETI@home status page is often several hours outdated (Message 38636) Posted 20 Oct 2004 by Marek Post: SETI@home status page [As of 20 Oct 2004 19:40:04 UTC] Now it is 22:55 UTC (GMT) and the status page is over three hours outdated. As far as I understand, the PURPOSE of a STATUS page is to GIVE CURRENT STATUS of the servers. Which means the SETI@home status page does not meet its purpose except for very long outages. I think it is a minor task for seti@home team to make status page a status page and keep it automatically refreshed slightly more often.

11) Questions and Answers : Windows : Error Uploading file - No schedulers responded (Message 38634) Posted 20 Oct 2004 by Marek Post: SETI@home status page [As of 20 Oct 2004 19:40:04 UTC] At the moment it is 22:53 UTC (GMT) and the status page is over three hours outdated.

12) Questions and Answers : Windows : Error Uploading file - No schedulers responded (Message 38627) Posted 20 Oct 2004 by Marek Post: I had the same problem. They announced some hardware replacement on the main SETI page. On the other hand, the technical status says all the servers are working. Weird.

13) Questions and Answers : Windows : "No schedulers responded" although the technical status says they are all running (Message 38624) Posted 20 Oct 2004 by Marek Post: No schedulers responded although the technical status says they are all running. So either the status page is right and there is a bug somewhere else or the status page lies and the schedulers sre down or being replaced. But the purpose of the status page is TO BE a STATUS page, so it should be always correct! I admire and appreciate the work done by the guys in Berkeley, on the other hand I feel getting gather tired from this project. The original S@h was somehow much better handled although the level of complexity was lower...

14) Questions and Answers : Windows : PROBLEM! (Message 38240) Posted 19 Oct 2004 by Marek Post: > Take a look at my preferences > Hi, I have the same problem and there is nothing wrong with the preferences I suppose. I am running BoincSeti on five computers. Notwithstanding the upload problems the 4.09 bersion worked well, meaning it downloaded and crunched well on all of them. But after the update to 4.12 d late on 4.13 one of the machines is to willing to download any WU exactly in the same way described here. By the way the message we get from the application is ridiculous. Instead of "insufficient space" or "low memory" or wnatever (given you were correct) it says "No work from project" Marek

15) Questions and Answers : Windows : Ver.4.05 takes huge amount CPU time to complete work unit (Message 37778) Posted 18 Oct 2004 by Marek Post: > Nothing youy can do about it. > > The new Seti Client processes the WUs differently. Everyone has been > similarly affected by the Seti version upgrade > No idea what you mean. Does it perform more complex calculations so that the results are more valuable? In this case, why did not the developers do the same with other platforms clients? Or if the science behind 4.02 is different and even worth, is not the computation time and results wasted comapred to "new" 4.05? Or if there is a bug in 4.05... does it mean the WUs are processed differently? If there is a bug. it is 100% sure, all the results from the same WU are the same with 4.02 and 4.05? If they are, what is the difference caused by? I think all these questions are legitimate and your "Nothing youy can do about it." is totally unacceptable for me, sorry. And of course as the upload problems were solved, this is going to be teh most important issue now. But unfortunately, the team does not communicate...

16) Questions and Answers : Windows : BOINC msg - No applications are running (Message 37029) Posted 16 Oct 2004 by Marek Post: I have the same problem running SETI on 5 computers, one of them after regular upgrade to 4.13 with the client off reports no application is running, the SETI@home is there and it offers "update" followed by "(try again)" or something similar (I am not siiting there and we have 3 a.m. now, so I am not going to check) :-) Reinstalling did not help...

17) Questions and Answers : Windows : The important messages should be differentiated (Message 36643) Posted 14 Oct 2004 by Marek Post: > That is how this group was started. There just is no way to keep it that way > without a full time monitor! > I do not object against full time monitor, but certain things should come to my e-mail or pop up or at least be bold in the monitor... New release of the client should be immediately announced for example by e-mail...

18) Questions and Answers : Windows : The important messages should be differentiated (Message 36299) Posted 14 Oct 2004 by Marek Post: The important messages such as new versions or material errors should be differentiated from ordinary upload, download, performance, throughput.

19) Questions and Answers : Windows : No news about the new version (Message 36255) Posted 13 Oct 2004 by Marek Post: > > > I wonder where the link will be in couple of days. > > Main page > Participate in SETI@Home, > Read about our backend server issues and other geeky details in our Technical > News section. > > > > When I search the site for 4.12, I do not get to the page with > downloads... > > Main page > Participate in SETI@Home, > Upgrade your BOINIC software to the latest version, select OS of choice. I did not say it is not there! I said at the time, when large number of users were complaining about uploads a very imporant piece of information (new release solving the problems was issued) was missing in the news section. Another funny thing which I do not understand is that BOINC new versions are on SETI (application) pages and not on BOINC ones. Why on Earth? Participate in SETI@Home is mainly for new crunchers. I already do participate, so I would expect some straightforward link to upgrade software I am running. 4.09 was announced in the news. Why not 4.12? Again, I do not say the information is not there, but the access is irrational, normally expected links, such as download or upgrade are missing on teh main page and news are late and insufficient. And a new client version is rather important in my opinion.

20) Questions and Answers : Wish list : Bilingual Profiles (Message 36251) Posted 13 Oct 2004 by Marek Post: The title says everything. I want to share my profile both with English and Czech crunchers. There is no way how to separate even paragraphs in the profile so the resulting bilingual text looks pretty awful. I know it is not an issue for English speaking users, but for other nationals it could be very convenient. If you at least allow paragraph separators, it will be possilbe to keep various parts of the text or language versions separated. But also the language attribute should allow at least English and user's Local languages. (In case of Switzerland it could be quite funny though.) Any way you take it, this is really only a wish.
