All the jobs for my linux (fedora 8) have failed.
Most with ......

Looks like linux is no good.

Was this ever resolved? Running Linux Mint over here

works very well on ubuntu64, probably nairb errors are not application related.

if someone knows what error 255 means, that could be of help.

Thanks for the replies.
None of the machines are overclocked. All are standard with a clean install of
Fedora core 8. (1 is fedora 4 so may fail because of this)
Its all standard software.
All the machines are doing multiple projects (seti/rosetta/einstein/others) without any faults. All run 24*7

I have just downloaded workunits to all the fedora core 8 machines again.
All the machines failed with the same error as before.

May be an issue with fc8.

i had some time to burn, so i downloaded a live fc8, and started it in a virtualmachine. Kernel 2.6.23.1-42.fc8 boinc 6.10.56. Did one WU, and it worked:

http://www.malariacontrol.net/show_host_detail.php?hostid=164896

will have to see if it gets validated or not ....

so it doesn't look like an fc8 problem ...but i must say fc8 is very old .... if there is no reason to keep that version maybe an update would make the error go away

So..... I fired up my trusty dual pentium 3 machine with fc10 already installed.
This has done some malaria work before... Downloaded 1 workunit and it failed.

So I wondered if its a dual cpu problem

So I fired up an intel (pentium 3 coppermine 1ghz) single cpu fc10. Downloaded 1 workunit. And it Failed with the same message as the others.

So ... both fc10 and 8 fail and dual intel/amd & single intel all fail.
My windoz xp works fine.

But cisf has managed to do a w/u with the same kernal (2.6.23.1-42.fc8) as my fc8 machines.

I do have Ubunto linux but no spare disk to put it on.

I realy am sure that all these machines have done Malatia work ok before.

Dont know what else to do. But they continue to do work for other projects fine.

Updated 2 machines (fc8 & fc10)to the latest linux 86 client version - 6.10.56

Detached and re-attached machines. Downloaded everything fine......

All failed again.

Think I will have to stick to the 1 win XP machine.

Hello, I also have this problem with an Athlon AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2000+ [Family 6 Model 6 Stepping 2] and Ubuntu (newest version 10), http://www.malariacontrol.net/show_host_detail.php?hostid=167563

Is there a way to execute the work unit manually, without boinc started? Because on my machine the new WU only runs for 2 seconds, then flags this task as error and immediately gets new tasks. Maybe a library is missing or the binary is not found?

I have also installed windows XP on the same machine, and there the computation runs normally. But here I see that almost all (but not all) tasks are marked as "invalid" or "validation inconclusive": http://www.malariacontrol.net/results.php?userid=66742.

I have just added a second computer with more recent Intel Core Duo processor, and also one task is "inconclusive" http://www.malariacontrol.net/result.php?resultid=60185396.

So my conclusion is, that the algorithm used in computation is too instable. If this continues, I will use the computers for different projects.


A wish: it would be easier if the host name was listed in the table "All tasks for USER".[/b]

... I forgot to say that the Intel computer "savitri" I mentioned works fine with other projects.

I have in fact quit the project, since almost all the tasks are invalid, see http://www.malariacontrol.net/results.php?userid=66742.
