work wont download !!!

The problem seems to have been in the file names for the now separate graphics app for the screensaver. By adding a soft link I was able to make the file available under both names. |

1 hour?
(Message 9155)
Posted 300 days ago by Wormholio
what if we lower the time limit for users who solve mechanical turks ? I like this idea. Or something similar. It might be that it's lowered just if you have done recent work on the Turk. I may not have time to code it right now, but I'm going to give it some thought and see what might work. I had set the deferral very long because there was no work. (There is meaning to the interval, in case someone cares to try to figure it out.) I set it to 1 hr to give everyone a chance when there is work, but not much of it all at once. But if the remaining crew is smaller then I may be able to lower it without raising the load on the server. |

I've made a small change that might help those graphics executables to download properly. Let me know what you see. I'm a few days late, but I hope everyone who's still here enjoyed Talk Like a Pirate Day on Wednesday. I've been very busy lately and was not sure if I'd be able to do anything at all. I owe the crew a full status report, but that will have to come later. With a few moments on my hands I tried to get the project up and running to give out work for Sept. 19th, but the first attempt failed. There are two branches of the BOINC source code: the trunk is the latest and greatest code from Berkeley, while server_stable is an older snapshot that was at one point considered to be stable. I was able to build from the trunk, but not run the daemons, because there are database changes that need to be applied. The next morning I was able to build from server_stable and get the daemons to run, so I was able to put work out for the "holiday". But for a couple of days I was not able to clean up after it got back -- the file deleter would not start. I figured out that the prelink cache was old, and once it was removed I was able to get the file_deleter running. I thank all who have reported problems. I've tried to fix them when I can, when it's quick. I've been really, really busy lately, and thus neglectful of this crew and project. I'm actually really amazed that I could get this rust bucket running at all after such a long time adrift. I will try to find time to explain why and give a status update (it's good news, though maybe not for this crew). |

I too am experiencing a 24 hour 55 minute back-off. Seems awfully long. Reset to 1 hour. The long back-off was left over from being rigged for cruising with no work. |

One thing I'm seeing is that all forum posts and threads are considered to be new and unread. Pushing the "mark all threads as unread" button in the top-level of the message boards does not fix this. But it does seem to mark the posts as read once you read the forum. I will see if I can find the cause, and the fix... |

My apologies for leaving the crew adrift for so long with broken forums, and who knows what else. Here's the short story: You may recall that back in November the server we had used for many years had a disk failure. At the time, I had just acquired an old spare PC that was twice as fast and half as noisy (still old crap, mind you) and so instead of just replacing the drive I moved everything to the "new" server. Which caused some trouble, but we made it through that. Sometime around the end of January I got an impassioned plea to return that hardware to the person who had given it to me. It was easier to do so than argue, and I had to do it quickly. So I moved our project to another machine, even better than the other two, which had in a past life been a PVR project. The bad news is that I had no time to fix whatever broke in the process, which it seems included the forums. So here we are 6 weeks later and I finally got a little time and I found the problem (some database code that needed updating). I seem to have the forums fixed, but who knows what else is broken? So please take a look around, and report in this thread what else needs to be fixed. I'll get to it when I can do so, and we will try to get this leaky bucket lurching forward again under it's own steam. |

I don't see any Option in my Account to Leave a Team ? This seems to have been moved to a box called "Community" in the upper right corner of the "Your Account" page. Please try it and let me know if it works or not. |
