21) Message boards : Number crunching : ARM cpu crunching (Message 6388) Posted 24 Jan 2024 by Grant (SSSF) Post: I'd suggest you check the messages in the Event Log to see what responses it's getting when contacting the Scheduler.
22) Message boards : News : Pchd Chriss Belczyński passed away... (Message 6368) Posted 17 Jan 2024 by Grant (SSSF) Post: Sorry to hear this sad news.

Nope, they show as running. script_validator_new (BHspin2) debian1 Running script_validator_new2 (BHspin2) debian1 Running assimilator-BH2-r (BHspin2) debian1 Running assimilator-BH2-r2 (BHspin2) debian1 Running
24) Message boards : Number crunching : Server Thread (Message 6340) Posted 12 Jan 2024 by Grant (SSSF) Post: And i notice that the details for the message board topics aren't being updated- ie Last post for Number Crunching is showing as 6 days ago, this thread 24 days ago. Still can't contact the Scheduler or upload work. And the web site & forums are still mind boggling sluggish. Edit- uploads & Scheduler contact have just been restored. Edit- and now the message board details are updating as well, and the sluggishness seems to have cleared up as well.
25) Message boards : Number crunching : Server Thread (Message 6335) Posted 12 Jan 2024 by Grant (SSSF) Post: Houston; we have a problem. Uploads not going through, Scheduler requests Timing out. Something's broken again. Edit- Oh, and the website & forums are extremely sluggish.
26) Message boards : Number crunching : Unable to add project (Message 6330) Posted 5 Jan 2024 by Grant (SSSF) Post: No Boinc update What does that mean??? BOINC doesn't update automatically, you need to download the latest version & install it over the currently installed version. In the BOINC Manager click on Help, "Check for new BOINC version", and it will give you the web address.
27) Message boards : Number crunching : Unable to add project (Message 6326) Posted 5 Jan 2024 by Grant (SSSF) Post: After weeks of being unable to upload completed tasks, I removed this project. Now I cannot re add it either. Something is seriously wrong. On your Core i9? It's got an old version of BOINC on it (which can cause issues when trying to add Rosetta), upgrade it to the current version, then try your luck.
28) Message boards : Number crunching : Server Thread (Message 6317) Posted 19 Dec 2023 by Grant (SSSF) Post: And the servers live again. Able to report work, & getting new work.
29) Message boards : Number crunching : Tasks not uploading? (Message 6314) Posted 19 Dec 2023 by Grant (SSSF) Post: Hi I have a lot of tasks that don't want to upload. They're just sitting there as "Ready fo report" If they are "Ready to report" then they have already been uploaded. Yes, there are presently problems with the project- checkout the Server Thread.
30) Message boards : Number crunching : Server Thread (Message 6312) Posted 19 Dec 2023 by Grant (SSSF) Post: None of the back-end processes are running like the work generators or validators. Yep. I was able to get some tasks when i got up this morning before going in to work, but most of the system functions are down again, so reporting isn't possible again. feeder debian1 Not Running transitioner debian1 Not Running script_validator_new (BHspin2) debian1 Not Running script_validator_new2 (BHspin2) debian1 Not Running file_deleter debian1 Not Running file_deleter2 debian1 Not Running assimilator-BH2-r (BHspin2) debian1 Not Running assimilator-BH2-r2 (BHspin2) debian1 Not Running
31) Message boards : Number crunching : Server Thread (Message 6304) Posted 18 Dec 2023 by Grant (SSSF) Post: We're back! So, what happened??? As expected, uploads are taking a lot of retries to go through. Scheduler requests are mostly timing out, but when they don't it's coming back with 18/12/2023 20:36:48 \| Universe@Home \| Server error: feeder not running and the completed Tasks aren't being reported.
32) Message boards : Number crunching : Server Thread (Message 6294) Posted 2 Dec 2023 by Grant (SSSF) Post: Well, whatever was going on seems to have cleared up now. No problems with uploads or Scheduler requests.
33) Message boards : Number crunching : Server Thread (Message 6293) Posted 2 Dec 2023 by Grant (SSSF) Post: There appears to be an issue with the upload server. It's taking a few attempts to get uploads to go through, at few Bytes per second when they finally manage to get there. Edit- And the Scheduler as well- keeps timing out.
34) Message boards : Number crunching : Project Troubles (Message 6276) Posted 1 Nov 2023 by Grant (SSSF) Post: Make sure you've got the current version installed- the problem you are describing is exactly what was occurring with the older versions (i think it was 7.16 and earlier).
35) Message boards : Number crunching : Server Thread (Message 6264) Posted 6 Sep 2023 by Grant (SSSF) Post: Well, i don't know where it went, but at least Universe is back again. From around 22:07 to 01:16 UTC everything was MIA. Taking quite a few re-tries, but uploads & downloads are eventually going through. And Scheduler responses are very hit and miss at present.
36) Message boards : Number crunching : 9 hours run time? (Message 6250) Posted 22 Jul 2023 by Grant (SSSF) Post: With your computer hidden it makes it hard to guess. I've yet to have a Task at Universe hang, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. Under WIndows, the Task runtimes on my i7 8700k's vary from under 2 hours to over 6. Generaly they're between 2-5 hours. I'd suggest exiting BOINC, give it 10-20 seconds & then restart. See if the Task continues to process, and the Estimated completion time starts to decrease. If so, leave it for a while & see it if ends up completing, if not then i'd abort it.
37) Message boards : Number crunching : Server Thread (Message 6247) Posted 22 Jul 2023 by Grant (SSSF) Post: About an hour and a half ago i started getting work again, but then 5 minutes ago i got a "Scheduler request failed: Couldn't resolve host name" error on a request for work. Next attempt was OK, but the response was back to "Project has no Tasks available".
38) Message boards : Number crunching : Server Thread (Message 6245) Posted 21 Jul 2023 by Grant (SSSF) Post: We seem to be having issues- it just took a couple of tries for the Web site to come up. And for about the last 3 hours any request for work results in a "Project has no Tasks available" response, even though there's over 4 million meant to be ready to go.
39) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : No task for arm 64 bit (Message 6240) Posted 14 Jul 2023 by Grant (SSSF) Post: Hey Keith! What dir is cc_config.xml file located? C:/ProgramData/BOINC or the LUNIX equivalent.
40) Message boards : Number crunching : Credits for day show 0 (Message 6237) Posted 10 Jul 2023 by Grant (SSSF) Post: Your account shows 3 devices. 666538 Has processed & completed Tasks & has got Credit for that work. 666659 Downloaded work, but then all that was aborted by you, and it has since downloaded another 8 Tasks, but is yet to return any completed work. 666569 Presently has 11 Tasks, but is yet to return any completed work. Given it takes a day and a half for it to process a Task that an x86 system with Windows can do in a couple of hours (and there are Tasks that will take a Windows system as long as 6 hours), it's going to take a while for them to process any work & return it (from a day and a half- at best, to around 5 days, just for a single Task).
