Posted 16 Mar 2013 by Tex1954 Post: Yes, more lately on Linux boxes and I just got another one after 2 hours or so... WUProp@Home 3.42 Data collect version 3 (nci) wu_v3_1363211664_100469_0 02:03:52 (00:00:14) 3/16/2013 6:49:51 AM 3/16/2013 6:52:35 AM 0.19 Reported: Computation error (11,) Linux-F1 It used to be that WUProp on Linux would crash whenever some other program clogged the network... or something like that... and it would kill all the tasks on all the Linux boxes at the same time... that problem seems to have been mostly fixed. 8-) |

Posted 22 Nov 2012 by Tex1954 Post: I don't know what you did, but I haven't had a single problem at all so far and I am positive I would have... In this instance, maybe it is safe to call it good???? Working perfectly, no hangups of weird LAN polling or anything... THANKS! 8-) |

Posted 21 Nov 2012 by Tex1954 Post: Normally by now, I would have had some sort of error, but nothing has happened yet. I installed the files on a second Linux box also running a single project on 6 cores... so far so good. If it runs well the next couple of days, I would call it good. I can Remote desktop into the computers fine, do LAN I/O fine, all running fine so far. Crossing fingers! 8-) |

Posted 21 Nov 2012 by Tex1954 Post: Umm, I got it figured out... just installed it in the /var/lib/boinc-client/projects/wuprop.boinc-af.org directory... I'm testing it now... It's on a machine as before, runs one project on all 6 cores and nothing else.. I must admit, took me a bit to chmod the permissions to get access... but no problemo after that. I'll let you know if I experience more probs... 8-) |

Posted 21 Nov 2012 by Tex1954 Post: Could you test this application? I would be happy to test it... but not sure how??? I see it includes an app_info file as well... Can you give this Linux novice some detailed help on testing it? Thanks! 8-) |

Posted 18 Nov 2012 by Tex1954 Post: I was reading other posts looking for similar problems and wonder if the long run bug or whatever could also be a factor... In all other WU's I run, if a WU's finishes, it stops running and enters the upload step. If it can't upload or the network is down, what happens in Linux? As I stated before, when this happens, it clobbers the entire lan and locks up every machine AND I run this on every box... well, not the linux boxes as of a few days ago. So far, everything fine. But, I can verify that in the past, I dedicated ALL my Linux boxes to ONE project and this lockup problem ALWAYS happened... (Running Optima@home at the time) I stopped running that project AND Linux on those boxes for a while because of this highly repeatable problem and only recently with the new kernal updates tried Linux again.. I'm running only Asteroids@home now on Linux 64b boxes and it works perfectly for days and days so long as WUProp isn't running! Buggers up if I let WUProp run on those Linux boxes... but NEVER had a problem on Windows 7 64b machines and still don't. 8-) |

Posted 17 Nov 2012 by Tex1954 Post: I have a problem running it on a Linux box in that it generates compute errors and LOCKS UP my router clobbering all my boxes on it. I've had this problem for months, blaming Linux and discovered it maybe doesn't seem to be a generic LINUX problem after all. Since I took WUProp off the Linux machines, I've had no more problems. Something buggy with Linux version.?.?.? since it is related to uncontrolled polling of the LAN and seems to affect all machines at once and seems to lock them up generating a Compute Error at the same time. (seen after machines reset) This is very more repeatable running a SINGLE PROJECT with long WU's on one multi-core CPU. In other words, it seems to happen less often when running several different projects with shorter/longer tasks mixed in. Doesn't matter if one Linux box is running or six... it will lock up my Linksys router, generate a compute error and clobbers my LAN requiring me to reset all the machines. It does this with 2 different routers... I have no idea if it is something inside Linux that WUProp causes to happen or visa versa... Who knows, hard to tell when the boxes and LAN are hung up and no way to talk/access their current state without a reset... but after months, removing WUProp cured the problem... HELP!!! 8-) |

Posted 17 Nov 2012 by Tex1954 Post: Well, once per hour isn't bad... and several projects do it like e0n and such... I guess the server just wants to see if your box is still alive... 8-) |
