HERE is another error message:

BOINC:: Error reading and gzipping output datafile: default.out

NO credits for the unit!!!

https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/result.php?resultid=558345592

Doesn't appear to be MY pc's problem as gzip is a part of the Rosetta program itself!!

A typical error message if some earlier error keeps file default.out from being created. Were there any such earlier errors for that workunit?

I will upload my task debug logs as soon as I get another task or two to complete.

For those interested in how to do this, you edit (or create, if it does not already exist) the file cc_config.xml in your main BOINC directory. Mine looks like this:

<cc_config>
<log_flags>
<task_debug>1</task_debug>
</log_flags>
</cc_config>

Have you guys with Nvidia gpu's tried down grading your driver to version 306.97 and seeing if that helps? It has in some cases, not all but some. MOST of us with AMD cards are not seeing the problem anymore, I am up to Boinc version 7.0.45 and am still getting the usual credits for the units crunched.

Hi mikey

I have this problem from the very beginning with this box (December 2011). So this problem is much older that driver version 306.97.

Every other project (RAPLPH also!!) runs just fine on this computer.

BTW I also switched to BOINC 7.0.45

I JUST dumped Rosetta off of one of my pc's as it REFUSED to send new work to my pc, Boinc kept saying "Not requesting tasks" even though I had NO cpu tasks on this 6 core pc! I am now crunching for Poem on that pc and it got 50 or more cpu units with NO problem!! There are WAAAY too many fish in the sea to waste time on one project that is being a PITA!!!!

Sounds more like a core client problem (bugs? in BOINC? say it's not so) than a scheduler issue.

I don't know I even reset the project and every other pc is working just fine on Rosetta, that one just didn't! It's okay Poem loves my time!

Thanks for the information!

Unfortunately I can't see anything in the logs that might suggest what is causing the issue. I'm planning to update the server scheduler to use the version that Ralph uses. Hopefully this will fix things as users suggest the Ralph server is okay and does not have this issue.

thanks again everyone.

David
Please let us know when this is done. I would like to bring some computers back here if this works.
Thanks Jim

...I'm planning to update the server scheduler to use the version that Ralph uses...

David,

This is an interesting idea. My rosetta worked fine for months until between 7-10 days ago (I think). I assumed it was the upgrade to my NVIDIA driver, but I put it back and it didn't help. Did you make any changes to the scheduler code in that timeframe that might explain it "breaking" for me again?

Also, any ETA on when that change would happen? I'm happy to test or help in any way that I can.

We haven't changed the scheduler in a long time so it's likely the driver update that broke things.

Can anyone confirm that ralph does not have this issue?

I'll ask people here to submit more test jobs to Ralph.

I don't know when I'll be able to update the server but hopefully next month.

thanks!

Hi guys,
I have been redirected to this thread by Polian, since I have the same issue like you on my Debian Wheezy machine with BOINC 7.0.27. My configuration includes both problematic hardware components - Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3570 CPU @ 3.40GHz and nVidia GeForce GT630 graphic card.

As wrote Rayburner - this issue is older than nVidia 306.97 drivers. I am currently running nVidia 304.48 drivers and they cause this problem too.

Can I help anything more than just running Rosetta in debug mode? (<task_debug>1</task_debug>)

Greetings,
Pushkin

Are you able to run a job or two with the nVidia card removed?

Unfortunately I can't, since it is not my own computer. But you gave me an idea - I may try to run Rosetta in a session without X running, or I can try running it with opensource drivers for nVidia. I'll let you know next week.

Currently I have tried to run Rosetta with disabled compositing ... without effect, again client error (see here).

Can anyone confirm that ralph does not have this issue?

I'll ask people here to submit more test jobs to Ralph.

I've signed up for Ralph with one of my trouble machines, but there don't seem to be any tasks available. As soon as I get any, I'll report the results.

There might be something with the project options (not properly initialized?).

If the results fail again, you could try to set the value "Target CPU run time" on the project options

p.s.: got this idea comparing the output of valid vs. invalid result, the startup output looks different in some "options" output lines.
