I have a stuck workunit: it's spent several hours at least stuck on Model 6 Step 7205 (Fast Relax). It's an all-sheet hexamer. Is it worth letting it continue?

Good advice: it successfully completed and validated. tx.

Hello,

I have BOINC 7.4.53 on my Android phone. I have received
a lot of computation errors (more then success results).
For example https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/result.php?resultid=902985860.
In that task details you can find

Invalid address 0xf6fd3e40 passed to free: value not allocated

in <stderr_txt> section.
For other tasks it is similar, only memory address differs (0xf71dde40, 0xf722be40 etc.).

Thank you for help

Hi mqk,

can you email me the type of device you're using with the hardware specs such as memory? Anything that can help us diagnose the issue. We do see instability in a number of devices but do not have access to test these devices locally at the moment.

thanks,

I have not received any WU from Rosetta for months. I have removed and added the project back. I continually get the message "Communication Deferred".

I have set cache to 0 days +1.5 days as suggested above in this thread. I am running BOINC mgr 7.6.33 on a late 2011 MacBook Pro 2.2GHz Intel Core i7, OS X 10.11.6.

This device has been functioning for years, Seti since 2004, Rosetta since 2012. Seti still functions and receives work. Rosetta no longer will connect and get work. I have suspended Seti, still no work for Rosetta and no connection, continuous "Communication Deferred" message with a countdown timer.

Any ideas are helpful. I have made my way through this thread trying all suggestions but to no avail.

Thanks,

Can you go to the boinc manager and click on the Tools -> Event Log... pull down option and then copy and email me the contents? dekim at uw dot edu


I just installed the boinc client on a 10.11.6 iMac (late 2011) 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5, and within a few minutes it started running a R@h task. I'm not sure what is going on with your particular computer but maybe the event log might shed some useful info.

None of the bakerlab.org hosts (boinc, ralph, srv[1-5], mail) are globally resolvable. I haven't been able to find any public DNS server that will resolve these (I was able to connect by writing static entries in my local hosts file).

I tried the same in my Linux hosts, but even with nsswitch.conf set to resolve from files first, it would still refuse to find the local entries for the servers we need, and for reason I didn't bother to take a deep dive into.

What I did find is that the whois-listed nameservers are reachable, and they do resolve the domain information, but have limited (or nonexistent) recursion, so on many of my systems that don't necessarily need to be resolving names of things other than R@H servers, I just set the domain's listed servers for those machines, and they continue to download/upload work.

As to why something seems to be broken that is preventing the root nameservers from finding how to pass us along to bakerlab's servers, IDK... everything looks like it should be working, but there's a breakdown right inside there...

This is what worked for me on Windows and Ubuntu:
Hosts file

Of course, to see that here you have to be able to get to this website anyway, which is a bit of a Catch-22. Good luck.

(And I am throwing other machine on it, to do what ICANN.)

#1 Freedom = (Meaningful - Constrained) Choice{5} != (Beer^3 | Speech)

I'm going to admit that it crossed my mind bakerlab may've decided that they didn't need all the grief they've been getting from moaning nerds like me and decided to pull the whole project...

...so I'm quite relieved it turned out to be someone else's fault.

Welcome back all. And try not to do that again <heart attack mode off>
