i did get Kryptos to run on 1 of my Linux Box's but won't run on the other one. I went thru the same procedure to install V-Box for both of them & their running the same Ubuntu Version 20.0.4. Only difference in them is the one that works has a Intel 3700 & the one that won't run them has a E-5 1620 XEON ... If this is a contest for the oldest weakest Xeon that will run the project I will add mine. GenuineIntel Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5620 @ 2.40GHz [Family 6 Model 44 Stepping 2] (4 processors) running Win 10 on 16GB. Bill F | |

Only difference in them is the one that works has a Intel 3700 & the one that won't run them has a E-5 1620 XEON ... Oh no contest for oldest and weakest Xeon so far is mine: GenuineIntel Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2650 v2 @ 2.60GHz [Family 6 Model 62 Stepping 4] (16 processors) with 32gb of ram I also have 1 of these: GenuineIntel Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5530 @ 2.40GHz [Family 6 Model 26 Stepping 5] (16 processors) with 24gb of ram And one of these: GenuineIntel Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5520 @ 2.27GHz [Family 6 Model 26 Stepping 5] (16 processors) with 24gb of ram Mine don't crunch fast but they do crunch alot. | |

Anyone looking for Kryptos@home - https://www.kryptosathome.com/ Things I've learned about that project: If you have Windows 10; go back to VBox ver 5.2.44. VBox Version 6 has issues with their WU's. If you can't go back from ver 6 for some reason; you can get a single WU, at a time, to run to completion if you pause all the other d/led WU's. Setting the VBoxSVC.exe to idle priority (using something like Process Hacker) can also get WU's to complete under VBox ver 6 with lower postponement issues. The invalid rate of restarted postponed VM's is high (over 80% on my test laptop). The dev says they will develop a native app and do not want to mess with VBox after the issues. ---- Oh and make sure you aren't using your friends old backup drive where you specifically set BOINC to not use Virtual Box in the config file. Lost a couple of hours of diagnostic time there... | |

If you have Windows 10; go back to VBox ver 5.2.44. Yeah, I can sing a song about that now. Gave me a hard time the whole day to fix the issue my Win10 machine had with the project. Every wu went to postponed state after a while, and the more you have the more effect does this have to the system - it becomes sluggish and after a while it just doesn't work any more and a restart is necessary. Don't know why but Win7 doesn't have this problem with VB 6, runs perfectly with it. ____________ Life is Science, and Science rules.

One thing that helped me run Kryptos on some machines was a simple app_config.xml file to limit the number of tasks run by it: | |

Those e5xxx series are pretty old but still see a lot of them on eBay. Guess my e5-2660 v1's aren't the oldest then... I was going to upgrade the 3 blades to v2 e5-2692's (compatible with those MB's) but saw a steal for a 8 mo old, custom box, 2700x system w/ 16GB DDR4 on eBay for $432 to host my NVidias | |

If you have Windows 10; go back to VBox ver 5.2.44. My Windows 7 laptop with VBox 6.1.16 only completed 2 Kryptos@Home WU successfully. 16 invalid from the postponement error. Mine is an HP 8560 laptop. Wonder what the difference is between your Windwows 7 installation and mine that would allow yours to work? | |

If you just exit Boinc give it a bit and then restart Boinc the units will start back up again, but I found that running any other cpu tasks, except the SixTrack ones from LHC seem to cause the "postponement error" again and I have to exit Boinc and then restart it again for them to run again. I ended up aborting all the tasks from other Projects, suspending wouldn't do it, and now it runs fine. I'm using ver 6.1.? on all my windows pc's and Kryptos works on most of them, for those those it doesn't I just run something else, too many fish in the sea to spend a whole lot of time on it when they are coming out with a non VBox version at some point anyway. | |

Who knows... there could be a thousand reasons. ;-) However, it's so different on other VBox-projects, it's just the opposite - Win 7 doesn't work, Win 10 goes... mikey wrote: If you just exit Boinc give it a bit and then restart Boinc the units will start back up again... I tried that on my Win 10 machine also. Sometimes it did continue and even finished the tasks, but these were only a small bunch. Most of the time they either go to postponed again, crash with a "hypervisor" message, kept locked in the slot or whatever. For the time being I only crunch on Win 7 and let it be on Win 10. It's a pain with the VBox most of the time. Several years ago I had no probs at all, no matter what project, what version etc. it was, but in the last time it starts to get fussy with it again. ;-) ____________ Life is Science, and Science rules.

I was able to log into my account @ Van Der Waerden Numbers this evening, not running any work though. Could someone who *has* an existing account either post on their forums, or PM the admin? It's impossible to create a new account, and, therefore, impossible to use the website's facilities to pass this information to the admin. When you try to create an account, you get this error: Database Error It looks like a single SQL statement can fix the problem: ALTER TABLE user ALTER COLUMN venue SET DEFAULT ''; ____________ Want to find one of the largest known primes? Try PrimeGrid. Or help cure disease at WCG. | |

I tried to Post a Message but just get a error ... This project is in the process of being revived in light of comments I have received that optimal primes for two colors and large lengths exhibit strange properties. In particular, the best primes for lengths 23, 24, and 25 are one more than 6 * p, 4 * 47 * p, and 2 * 24 * p, the ps all being primes. Striking in particular is the multiplicative composition of the latter two; 24 = 25 - 1 and 47 = 2 * 24 - 1. NOTE: I did send Daniel a Message about the problem or at least it said I sent the Message anyway ... | |

That's what I did but Kryptos@Home warns in the agreement not to suspend their WU's and they mean it. Any suspension of their WU's causes it to be invalid. Even stopping BOINC to restart the machine will invalidate every one of their current WU's. You'll see a WU complete in the client but the result on the server will be invalid. Still get my 100+ WUprops hours leaving them rerun at least. | |

I just got into my account and tried to add you and Steve as 'friends' but the search said neither one of you is there, I didn't expect to find you but it should have found Steve, I copied and pasted both your names so no spelling etc errors meaning the Project still has some issues. I also tried changing my number crunching preferences and got this error: Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function xml_parser_create() in /home/boincadm/projects/vdwnumbers/html/inc/prefs_project.inc:221 Stack trace: #0 /home/boincadm/projects/vdwnumbers/html/inc/prefs_project.inc(268): prefs_parse_project() #1 /home/boincadm/projects/vdwnumbers/html/user/prefs.php(59): print_prefs_display_project() #2 {main} thrown in /home/boincadm/projects/vdwnumbers/html/inc/prefs_project.inc on line 221 It did see that I had tasks 'in progress' though so hopefully they can extend the return dates and accept them once they are back up and running again. | |

PRIVATE GFN SERVER - GFN-1x Small Primes (gfn1x_small) My units started out thinking they were going to take almost 1 day 16 hours but ended up only taking about 15 minutes each, hopefully Boinc figures things out | |
