I\'m telling ya, I get NO Credit!!!

I\'ve run numerous information batches yet neither my stats on the server, nor my computer show ANY trickles being registered. I have had quite a problem with packets being downloaded then crunched fopr a spell, then a \"computation error\" message appears. I sent the last packet several minutes ago but again no credit. I DO understand the server reassesses every four hours but this issue has been going on now for several months, essentially since I attached to this project. I have NO problem with SETI or Einstein! Also, I upgraded BOINC to the 4.45 version but I still have NO credit!

I\'m telling ya! I get NO RESPECT!

If you would unhide your computers, we might be able to tell more about what is going on.

Also about how long do you typically manage to work on any single work unit? and do you have a copy of a few messages either side of a computation error message in a log file that you could post here?

You running Classic CPDN? OR BOINC?

OK, I've unhid my computer. Sorry, I'm very privacy conscious and take great pains to prevent unauthorized access to personal information. Hope you can assist!

&gt;I think I answered that in the original question (line 5, sentence 5); I'm running BOINC! Hope this helps.

&gt; Also about how long do you typically manage to work on any single work unit?

&gt;I have under preferences it working at 60 minute intervals, sharing my resources along with SETI and Einstein. I will make a copy of the messages on either side of the error message error next time it occurs. It deletes the messages when I reboot the machine. Is there any way to recover messages previous to reboot?

Thanks. Hope this assists you in diagnosing my problem.

&gt;Is there any way to recover messages previous to reboot?

Assuming you computers are running windows (hidden has not become unhidden yet), the boinc folder may have stdout.txt stdout.old stderr.txt and stderr.old files.

An inferior alternative to unhiding might be to post a resultid and tell us how many results are listed if you follow a results links from your account?

Looks like mostly exit codes -2 and -5. -5 could be hardware faults, or something else. Have you reset your climateprediction project? Perhaps something is corrupted and this might clear it out. Do you try to run the screensaver whe climateprediction is running?

Also, what Antivirus software are you running?

[edit]General
Message Type: Error Message

This message means that the BOINC Client Software has detected a failure of the Science Application which has occurred because of an internal error (it "crashed"). These errors may be the result of a hardware error, but are more likely because of a problem with the Science Application software and the Work Unit that it is trying to process. These errors should be reported to the Project so that they can try to find the problem in the software.

[edit]Climateprediction.net
While we know about these crashes in the Climateprediction.net's Science Application occur in both the Classic and the Versions Powered by BOINC, they tend to be machine specific. Occasional crashes may indeed relate to the particular Work Unit, but experienced Participants know they are comparatively rare.

Hardware is one of the more common causes of failure in Climateprediction.net because it stresses machines far more than most things, and doubters have often come back later after having tracked down a fault. The rest of these causes are elusive, but the occasional success in finding the cause, as with Anti-Virus software or driver conflicts, show that it is well worth looking for these other causes.

[edit]Version Information
None.

Line-By-Line Explanation
Restarting result '(result)' using '(science-application)' version '(version)'
And now it has restarted processing. There is little difference between "Resuming" and "Restarting", "Resuming" occurs if the Result's information is still resident in memory and the "Restarting" indicates a reload of the in-progress information.
Unrecoverable error for result '(result)' ( - exit code -5 (0xffffffb))
The Science Application has "crashed" and stopped processing the Result/Work Unit.
Computation for result '(result)' finished
Because of the "crash" the current Result has been halted. This Result, when the Reporting Process is complete will be recorded with an Outcome of "Client Error".
[edit]Permanently Failed Upload of File
One of the minor interesting items in this message display is the fact that you can see that two upload threads are run and because they fail at different rates, the messages become interleaved. In a specific example, fine #1 and #2 are started, #1 fails and #3 is started before #2 fails. Hey, sometimes I get bored with this stuff and wonder if anyone reads any of it at all.

Line-By-Line Explanation
Restarting result '(result)' using '(science-application)' version '(version)'
We restart a Result that has already been partially processed.
Unrecoverable error for result '(result)' ( - exit code -5 (0xffffffb))
The Science Application has "crashed" and stopped processing the Result/Work Unit.
request_reschedule_cpus: process exited
Because the Science Application ended processing (it "crashed"), we need to start up another Result.
Computation for result '(result)' finished
Because of the "crash" the current Result has been halted. This Result, when the Reporting Process is complete will be recorded with an Outcome of "Client Error".
Started upload of '(file)'
We start to upload two of the 5 Result Data Files.
We will continue to attempt to upload the other Result Data Files in turn, each will fail upload with the following sequence of messages ...
Error on file upload: invalid signature
The Signature of the Result Data File is incorrect.
Permanently failed upload of '(file)'
Because of the invalid signature, this Result Data File cannot be accepted by the Data Server.
Giving up on upload of '(file)': server rejected file
The Data Server rejected the file because of the invalid Signature and we cannot assign a different signature, so abandon the attempt to upload the file.

&gt; Looks like mostly exit codes -2 and -5. -5 could be hardware faults, or
&gt; something else. Have you reset your climateprediction project? Perhaps
&gt; something is corrupted and this might clear it out. Do you try to run the
&gt; screensaver whe climateprediction is running?
&gt;
&gt; Also, what Antivirus software are you running?
&gt;
I have not reset the project. I have tried to run the project screensaver and all I get is the BOINC sign. I will attempt this at the next failure. Right now I have a completion of 0.58%

I am running AVG personal edition for antivirus software.

If you have another problem, try to reset just that project. It may not help, but it won't hurt. Since the project screensaver doesn't work, I would avoid trying that at all.
