widdershins,
Is the Status Log of your Beta WU in error looking the same as what I have posted in this thread Beta Testing The Clean Energy Project for Linux and Mac or is it different? If so please post yours and say a little more about your crunching environment.

Thanks. Jean.

You are right. For the Linux environment I don't remember having seen a happy cruncher saying "Mine was valid!". At least all mine in the other thread have gone till the end, maybe it means that the techs are making some progress toward a solution. And maybe one of my peers in quorum will be more successful than me. For the time being I am still the only one who has returned results for all three of them.

Cheers. Jean.

OK, thank you.
Not too many different kinds of errors is rather good.
However we don't have much feedback either from testers, and two of my WUs have their repair WU "Waiting to be sent". I don't know if the techs are holding them or if we have not enough testers...

Cheers. Jean.

The techs may already be aware of these, but I'm going to post them anyway. 2 BETA 6.23 CEP for Linux tasks received, both resulting in error status.

The first one had just checkpointed at 50%, when I decided to test the ability to restart from a checkpoint. I let it run to 50.031% and then stopped the daemon, waited a couple of minutes and started the daemon. This resulted in an immediate error with the following stderr.txt:

<core_client_version>5.10.45</core_client_version>

The second task ran to completion as I didn't stop the client. Upon reaching 100 percent, the following message is listed:

Sat 20 Dec 2008 01:06:18 PM EST|World Community Grid|Computation for task BETA_E000055_090A_000d0s00y_2 finished
Sat 20 Dec 2008 01:06:18 PM EST|World Community Grid|Output file BETA_E000055_090A_000d0s00y_2_2 for task BETA_E000055_090A_000d0s00y_2 absent

Watching the project's directory I noticed that the _2 output file was not changed upon completion when all of the other output files were and there are now two _3 output files (note the timestamps of the files):

140967 2008-12-20 13:06 BETA_E000055_090A_000d0s00y_2_0

40436 2008-12-20 13:06 BETA_E000055_090A_000d0s00y_2_4

I am just guessing here, but I think the first _3 file listed (in lowercase) is actually the _2 file and was improperly renamed. All of the files were in lowercase until completion when they were changed to uppercase, other than the _2 and the first _3.

Thank you Bobcat13 and Kremmen for highlighting this specific failure when restarting a WU. I hope that will help the techs to find what is wrong. Looks like a problem with writing one of the necessary files, but I am just guessing...

Cheers. Jean.
