Yup, it's Mark.
Mine worked OK for a quite a while too, until Seti server comms got messed up for long enough that Boinc went into that 'fetching scheduler list' routine, and that's where it got stuck.

Meow.


ah-ha! yes, that's the difference

congratulations on making One Billion

I had this problem and had to upgrade the version of Boinc I was running.
This does pose the risk of possibly losing your cache and completed work however.

Meow.


Thanks - Mark isn't it?
Odd that it worked okay until 3 April...
I will backup the data directory and have at tomorrow, worst case I can move it to a working machine for upload so I don't bugger the wingpersons

It's been fun, eveyone.
I managed to squeak out 200M! didn't think I would make it...
didn't manage 1M on a single core I was trying for (sigh) - thought there would be more time.
Maybe in my next multiverse

I was afraid "select and suspend" was the direct way
don't want to lose AP credits...

how...

do I get a machine to do tasks in (reverse) order of deadline (before the "oh, c3@p - hi priority - aaaww, you missed the deadline, no credit for 48 hours of cpu time)

right now, one machine is crunching 29-30 april deadlines while 03 april sit and wait...

please and thank you

I think we may see a replica lag >= 1000000 seconds, especially if they forego maintenance until THE END.

I am getting "project servers may be temporarily down" message, apparently since around 17.15Z on 28/1/20 but the SSP does not show an associated lag - anyone else?

I am sure it will all be fixed during the next "maintenance" on tuesday....








ROTFLMAO



See? I said it would be all fixed during the next "maintenance" but since I received no response or acknowledgment, I responded to myself - now my clique is more exclusive than yours! I will be here another 20 years NOT waiting for an answer.









Thanks again to everyone at sah for keeping things running for over twenty years. I whine a lot but I really do understand how much you have done...

I am getting the "Project has no tasks available" message .

Something is broken.


Almost as soon as I posted, workflow resumed - somewhat.

I had some communication issues with a host and lots of software questions but I am sure I can work the remainder out alone as well.
Thanx.

Hi All

I haven't been very active the last couple of years or so, I thought I might fire up a box or two now that SAH has had the time to fix the software/server/WU availability issues that had been plaguing them...


The response was a thunderous silence - did I somehow offend someone?

I am back for the Wow! event. Unfortunately, I have no budget for the electricity and new hardware (sigh). Zalster and Mr. Kevvy among others will pass me in a month or two.
I am going to try to find the SoG and privy apps (no luck so far...) and test them so I can maybe do next year's Wow! as well. Good luck all.
