I read that the current Beta projects are only for Windows, but I just received one on my ubuntu linux machine. Is this expected?

I just picked up one also on Kbuntu. My very first Beta WU ever.
 Must be the advance guard of a new set of beta WU's to check it all works on non M$ machines. |

yes, this is expected. Over the next week you will see some more BETA workunits for linux and some for Mac.

The beta WU's don't seem to like linux so much. The first one I got errored out and I've currently got two more in progress. From looking at the results - via My Grid results page - for those units from others who've already completed them, it seems they're likely to error out before completion also.

I am having no luck with the Linux BETA's either. I have managed to get 8. So far 3 have completed all errored out and looking at the other 5 they have perviously errored as well.
----------------------------------------Are any of the Linux BETA's completing? I am hoping these are tests for CEP so want to help with debugging. Is there any extra information needed from my systems to help?  |

The WU I got errored out by the time its computation completed.
Here's an extract of some relevant lines from my log file. I hope it helps. 06-Dec-2008 06:22:04 [World Community Grid] Starting BETA_E000001_755A_00001500x_2 06-Dec-2008 06:22:07 [World Community Grid] Starting task BETA_E000001_755A_00001500x_2 using beta6 version 619 (...) 07-Dec-2008 16:48:53 [World Community Grid] Computation for task BETA_E000001_755A_00001500x_2 finished 07-Dec-2008 16:48:53 [World Community Grid] Output file BETA_E000001_755A_00001500x_2_2 for task BETA_E000001_755A_00001500x_2 absent 07-Dec-2008 16:48:54 [World Community Grid] Restarting task R00236_44ef8c5cf87b6f5f08735cf6d42cb9e0_03_006_18 using rice version 617 07-Dec-2008 16:48:55 [World Community Grid] Started upload of BETA_E000001_755A_00001500x_2_0 07-Dec-2008 16:48:55 [World Community Grid] Started upload of BETA_E000001_755A_00001500x_2_1 07-Dec-2008 16:49:01 [World Community Grid] Finished upload of BETA_E000001_755A_00001500x_2_1 07-Dec-2008 16:49:01 [World Community Grid] Started upload of BETA_E000001_755A_00001500x_2_3 07-Dec-2008 16:49:14 [World Community Grid] Finished upload of BETA_E000001_755A_00001500x_2_0 07-Dec-2008 16:49:14 [World Community Grid] Started upload of BETA_E000001_755A_00001500x_2_4 07-Dec-2008 16:49:20 [World Community Grid] Finished upload of BETA_E000001_755A_00001500x_2_4 07-Dec-2008 16:49:21 [World Community Grid] Finished upload of BETA_E000001_755A_00001500x_2_3 I'm not an expert, but I suppose the error may have something to do with the output file being absent.

eduardo,
----------------------------------------Many thanks for your detailed report. I think that the techs will appreciate. The only things that you could add another time are the first message lines when you start a new session: they contain everything needed about your machine. But this time I have the feeling that it is not too important since most or all Linux beta WUs seem to have errored the same. Cheers. Jean. |

yes, this is expected. Over the next week you will see some more BETA workunits for linux and some for Mac. -Uplinger I sent a beta Windows unit yesterday and I have a Linux-64 crunching now. (And I'm 2.5 days short of my bronze beta badge. Bwa, ha ha!! )When you say "Mac", do you mean Intel Mac, or both (Intel + PPC)? By the way, I'm very happy that most projects here have PPC apps. Actually, they have stable, well written, and apparently Alti-vec optimized apps. I was surprised and pleased to one day see Fight AIDS running a single work unit across both cores in my G5. Thank you, and kudos. |

But this time I have the feeling that it is not too important since most or all Linux beta WUs seem to have errored the same. I've received a linux Beta that's already had 1 No Reply and 4 Errors. The scheduler has now given out 2 more copies. Should I assume the worst and kill it? |
