Re: No finished file

OK just for grins i did a repair to windows xp and reloaded service pack 2 and we'll see what happens. The error message was coming up all the time on all the jobs last couple days.

Thanks again

Re: No finished file

I guess the only solution is to shut down Boinc and not crunch anymore.

Thanks for help

Re: No finished file

Actually, your system could have time sync problems:

exited with zero status but no 'finished' file
If this happens repeatedly you may need to reset the project.

There's a Start Here forum FAQ for it.

Is there a fixed pattern like every X hours? BOINC hates clocks being adjusted backwards, even for a second, but normally should recover from that by returning to last checkpoint if not too frequent.

I've set timesync off on all my machines.... Don't need atom clock precision aligned with the internet.

Re: No finished file

Looks like it is happening every 4 hours, so i shut the auto time update off and we'll see what happens.

Thanks

Re: No finished file

Ok the error occurs every 4 hours so i shut my clock update off and i am still getting the error. After eading the FQA again it said something about checking the stderr.txt and i did and heres what it says

Failed to get VersionInfo size: 1812
No heartbeat from core client for 31 sec - exiting

No heartbeat from core client for 31 sec - exiting

I also noticed this in the messages that it is reverting back to BOINC 5.18

Re: No finished file

The loss of heartbeat is often a result of interference by security software. BOINC.exe wants to talk to the science once per second, but if that is not possible for 31 seconds it breaks off and tries to recover from the last checkpoint saved. See if firewall / AV has exemptions orany log entries blocking them.

5.18 is current the HPF2 science version.

Re: No finished file

I added WCG to my firewall and im not running any other firewall or antivirus programs other than scanner programs. Iam running the same setup on 2 other computers and not haveing a problem with them.

Re: No finished file

Give you a few that are potential sources of problems with BOINC:

DEP (Woz function)
Firewall (Woz function)
WindowsDefender
3rd Party Firewall
3rd Party AV
AntiSpam

Some of these also like to compete in the same area like my Firewall knows about HIPS and the AV checks for it too, so disabled the part in the Firewall.

It may not seem obvious either, but though science and core client sit in shared memory, the core client still likes to have functioning pass thru over IP 127.0.0.1 (localhost) and port 31416 and an other randomly assigned by the OS. At any rate something is obstructing the heartbeat. Some have reported that the mere absence of an active internet connection is enough to cause crashes of jobs. Try 5.10.42 (official) or wait for the WCG endorsed and skinned version, which I'd not be surprised will be 5.10.43. 5.10.42 reintroduces Async communications.

Do i think crunching is 'set and forget'? For most it is but there are still way too many anomalies in an environment where any BOINC version over 5.2.x is allowed to connect to WCG, hence the ever returning question: "What version and where did you get it from and which OS?"

I may just over reacting but thought i would question it.
