[FADCHAT 5/5/08] KK is to Lazy to start a new Thread

[nunyadam]

Maybe We should just start a new Thread when the old one hits 100 posts.

[Cmptr-Gy-Dv]

is this the new thread, I wasn't sure!

it must be the new thread nobody posted yet, at what post count do we consider the thread used,

why am I here alone, why am I talking to my self, what do I do if I answer,

do I believe what I say, should I tell myself to shut my pie hole,


does this thread make me look fat, can we have two threads in the same day,

can we just use somebody Else's thread or do we have to just use our own,

well with all that off my chest just remember spam on and don't take no for an answer,

[KarmaKiller]

Well at least everyone knows I'm lazy now..
So i don't have to say it over and over again anymore..

Dave, why are you talking to yourself. You know people consider you crazy when you start answering your own question out loud..

Update to my problem:

A few threads ago I said I was getting an Error Message warning that there were long 1-4 interactions, having the program's progress freeze, and then give me EARLY_UNIT_END and start a new core. Someone responded, asking if it says it's been 3 hours since last checkpoint written.

Yeah, it does. This is exactly what it says:

Also, it is always at 95 percent. This has happened at least 3 times, possible four.

I asked you that dawg cuz it also happened to me. It dumped that wu and grabbed a different wu series and as far as I know it has not done that anymore. As i have said before if you know the box is stable, more than likely its the wu being given out by Stanford. Keep an eye on your log file to see any similarities

[KarmaKiller]

Hi guys!
A couple of thing I wanted to add, as a possible fix.
1. Go into the advanced option of F@H, and there is a option for selecting how often it saves checkpoints. I myself always put it on the most frequent, which is 3 mins. Might check/change that and see if it helps.
2. Also in advanced options, there is a option for getting work units without deadlines, you might check that also..

I had my Quaddy box restart over night, not really sure why. I have automatic updates set not to install till I tell it too. My OC has been 100% stable on folding so far, so I really don't think that's it. Not really sure why, but it's going again, and already dumped a WU that started at 5:30am...

[engracio]

Last I heard F@H have not been handing out timeless wu lately and they don't know when it would again. Smaller checkpoint between saves are good especially for those machines rebooting a lot. On my Pentium D 945 running smp client with the default 15min between checkpoints it would trigger 3 checkpoints before going to the next step. However you feel like doing it.

As far as coondawg's early_end wu I think it was just the wu/client. If it happens more then it could be the box.

[KarmaKiller]

I just glanced over at the dually system, and it seems that it quit the WU at 17%, and is trying to send results.
The even worse thing is it's saying, "Could not send HTTP results to server" and "Failed to connect to work server."

It was just running fine an hour ago...

I thought it was just me that has that problem
I find that my 2 cows that i have hardwired to the router rarely dump wu's, but the 2 wireless cows always have problems sending results, or dumping wu's

[KarmaKiller]

They are both hard wired..

[2monsters]

They are both hard wired..

Might be hard to believe, but my quad has never dumped a wu prematurely. I have had the other hardwired cow dump on me, but not as often as the wireless cows. I still think its because i'm using those cheap airlink wireless pci adapters.
Now i had the quad freeze up on me but i think that was heat and oc related.

[engracio]

I am on the box which have that early_end wu and just went thru both log file and it seemed that I had a total of 4 early_end wu in the last several days. I know this box has been stable for a couple of years and been crunching realiably. The box did completed several wu in between dumpage, so I still think its the wu being sent out which is causing the dumpage. Between 2Monster, KK, me and coondawg all around the same time dumping wu's. Then we can't all be having box issues all at the same time. Right?

[KarmaKiller]

I would hope it's not us. Surely it would have to be the F@H servers. The last couple of days when I've went to check stats, their stat servers were down. So I'm thinking they're having a crysis over there..

I really don't think it's all of us...


And the dually just started crunching again..

[engracio]

Hey mrniceguytech how you doing???? Glad you can make it up here, slide on up more people are on the way to cozy with us up here. 2M, KK , Dave and others. The more the merrier.

[2monsters]

Ha! Looks like we finally topped The Top Cats team. We have been chasing them for a while now! Good job team!

We're also putting the distance from Estonia Adire here we come.

[KarmaKiller]

I noticed we had a bit of a down hill slide going. I'm glad we picked the pace back up!

Karma, how do you get into the advanced options while it is running?

Is the Linux client really any faster? If so, by how much?

I think Standford might tailor the WU's one receives based on some variables. Like your your processor and amount of time the last WU was completed. I also think the clients Internet connection ability suxxs. I can run all day long using an ICS WIFI connection with a desktop gaming and no problem, but when the client tries to receive a WU, nooooo. Sometimes I get that address 0.0.0 error BS. So I repaired the NIC to clear the IP address and ARP cache etc. Still no joy sometimes. I run the client on three to five machines. The latter two being the dual and quad. Not often enough on those though. Only one computer is Wireless. The others are hardwired.

[Keymaker]

Same 0.0.0 error crap! using the SMP client. Every time I use the advanced settings it won't resolve an IP address to fetch work. But when I don't use the advanced settings it fetches work just fine. Go figure.. I tried different settings on each erase of the config file too! "Receive work in batches yes/no, RAM", etc.. The IE settings are always set to off, the receive work more than 5 MBs is always on and stat up as service always off. IDK, I'll have to copy my settings and post latter . Right now I had to restart my from the beginning.
