I see wingmen with download or computation errors and also invalids...

A few examples:

Now just 1 day deadline? (Before it was 10 days.)


Is there something broken?


Thanks.

Many Computers from me have computation errors:

<stderr_txt>
No NVIDIA library found
No ATI library found.
11:20:11 (3336): called boinc_finish

These computers don't have a GPU. What can i do to resolve it?

I've had 13 invalid units today, all of them on PC's and laptops. My Android devices are O.K though.

Can be re-tested fail validation tasks?
I had a dozen today :(

So far nine invalids. Every one of my active machines has had at least one: Win, OSX, Linux, Android, Pi.

I'm seeing the same thing. Over the past several days, all tasks have failed validation, except one. A single task validated.

I can't tell whether or not hours were being counted correctly because it's too hot for the computers to be crunching, so there's no data being collected anyway.

I had 3 tasks with Validate Error in past 24 Hours:

You do NOT get hours for the invalid WU ... I watched. :(

Exactly. Same here. Losing all the application hours from the invalid WUs.

Quite a few PROJECT HOURS NOT CREDITED!

SOMETHING APPEARS TO BE F*K UP IN THE DATABASE (THIS Appears on the TOP LEFT OF SERVER STATUS SCREEN):

I HAVE STOPPED RUNNING BOINC UNTIL THINGS GET FIXED HERE.

As of this posting, I have not received WUProp CREDIT or HOURS for about 204 hours worth of tasks across at least 9 sub-projects.

SERVER STATUS PAGE has NOT changed and the error message set_cached_data(): can't open ../cache/f2/server_status.php_job_status still appear.

NOW UP TO 7 INVALIDS, 2 of them supposedly credit granted ... BUT CREDIT AND HOURS HAVE NOT BEEN ADDED TO MY ACCOUNT.

Paul.

I'm seeing the same thing. Over the past several days, all tasks have failed validation, except one. A single task validated.

I can't tell whether or not hours were being counted correctly because it's too hot for the computers to be crunching, so there's no data being collected anyway.

You do NOT get hours for the invalid WU ... I watched. :(

I've been watching too. And it's true, you don't get anything while the task is listed as invalid.

But I've seen a task initially listed as invalid eventually trip over to validated. This particular chunk had the hours that took me to 2,500 hours on an app - which was why I was watching it so closely.

This is good news, perhaps, because it means that tasks may yet get validated once Sebastien can press the right levers and pull the right buttons.

I'm not stopping crunching and I trust Sebastien to solve it all quietly and without fanfare as he has done in the past.

Resumed BOINC earlier today, reported WuProp tasks on 2 PCs, checked and it appears that all is reporting again OK.

THANK YOU Sebastien!!!

I see that all my WUs are OK now.

I have 3 new tasks with "Validate error" - 61470364 61605471 61605637

It looks like there are still validate errors, but they are fixing them every so often.

Yes, appears Validate Errors have RESURFACED for me also.... 3 new FAILED tasks:

*** AND the SERVER PAGE HAS GONE RED AGAIN with the ERROR MESSAGE:

I've had 5 validate errors today, once again its just Windows PC's and Laptops. Also, I found 3 WU's that had been validated but 0 credit allocated.
