The initial problem was under Linux Mint 18.2, running stock, with stock clock speeds on the CPU.


Sorry, I'd read it as a Linux box, rather than a specific Mint 18.2 issue. My Kali 4.11, running stock app & clock speeds, is having the same problem.

No worries then :-)

My machine is still throwing the errors on a stock, non-GPU app. I haven't had chance to try the vsyscall setting yet as I'm working away from the machine at present.

The initial problem seemed to be OS-specific. Is this not now the case?

does the app need rewriting or is there some setting that can be changed to work around this?


Did you try "vsyscall=emulate"? To try it once you can add it to kernel command line in Grub's boot menu by highlighting a menu entry and pressing "e" to edit the command. "vsyscall=emulate" goes at the end of "linux" line. (If the line ends in "--" remove that.)

Setting it permanently depends on what distro you run and what distro it is based on.

As far as I know, if the "vsyscall=disabled" becomes default setting in all distros instead of just testing it the app will have to be recompiled.


I didn't - apologies. I shall try tomorrow, if I get chance, and report back.

As the OP can I remind folks that the issue I reported was with CPU tasks, NOT GPU, so please start another thread for similar GPU issues.


My posts are not about GPU issues, so I am on-thread.

Tried again - trashed another 4 units.

Is there any way of telling how many users are using 4.10 or 4.11 Linux distros? I'm wondering what impact this has on the project as a whole. I've no idea how to move forward with this - does the app need rewriting or is there some setting that can be changed to work around this?

TIA,

Steve.

Running Mint 18.2 with kernel 4.10, just recently trashed about 70 wu's but now is running fine like it has been for the last month.


I gave mine another unit and it trashed it instantly. The issue definitely persists - good luck with yours staying stable!

I'm running Kali (Debian) 4.11.0.

I'm running Kali Linux with 4.11.0 which updated fairly recently from 4.10, if I recall correctly.

Is there a fix or a setting to alter?

Hi all,

My Linux box is trashing any units it receives - I've been through a load over the last two days, all seem to be with a 'segmentation error', what ever that means!

Any tips on how to fix this? I've reset the project a couple of times and have now removed it completely.

Thanks,

Steve.

You might want to join the stock linux thread already in progress and converse with Rob. He has had issues with the stock linux app too.
Compute errors Linux "stock" app


Thanks, I will.

I got some more units overnight but it burned the lot straight away again. Very strange.

Thanks for the info - I'll wait until tomorrow and check all is working.

Now to figure out why the machine burned those units in the first place?

The recommended solution is to do a project reset, which might also let you get new tasks afterward.

What I would recommend is to set your cache sizes to zero,


All done - project reset & new project files downloaded but no new units, unfortunately. I'll give it some more time and try again.

Hi all,

My Linux box trashed pretty much all of its work units last night. Once that reported through, that box has no units left.

Despite hitting update a couple of times, no new work units are being sent to this box. Is that because the back-end doesn't know they've all failed?

Two things I'd like to know - 1. what would cause a previously-fine box to start throwing computation errors on units? I'm on the stock app, not an optimised one. And, 2., how do I get more units without waiting for the back-end to work out I've got none?

TIA,

Steve.

You'll need 7-Zip to unpack that download from Mike's downloads and you don't actually need the latest SoG app as quite a few of us are quite happy using r3557. ;-)

Cheers.

Thanks - I'll use the 'old' version - and the link I found was a direct .exe download which was my my ISP wasn't too happy with it. A switch of ISP and it worked fine. ;-)

[quoteAnd that only goes up to the r3557 SoG app. You will have to go to Crunchers Anonymous or Mike's World to get the latest r3584 SoG app and hand edit into your app_info.[/quote]
OK - I have the Beta 6 link (it doesn't work but I'll figure that out) - but what do you mean by this manual edit? Is there another download I need to make?

Thanks for the help, all. I'll get the download done tomorrow - I suspect I'm just running the stock app at the moment due to my downloaded optimised app being out of date.

I used the v0.44 installer for Windows as that's what the KWSN page recommended. Where should I look? Can you post me a link?

Does a message/notice saying "SETI@Home: Notice from server; Unknown app name setiathome_v7 in app_info.xml" have something to do with this?

Your computers are "hidden"

Unhidden - that box hasn't completed any units yet. It'll be running overnight for the next few days so a comparison can be made between that and the same box that runs Kali Linux during the day.

The renaming that you saw is exactly what I have after I installed Lunatix.

Thank you - I'll keep an eye on it.

You may not have done anything wrong.

It'd be a first. ;-)
