1) Questions and Answers : Bugs : Raspberry PI 4 all error (Message 867) Posted 15 Jan 2025 by zombie67 [MM] Post: You need to have git installed. The easiest way to do that for a mac is to install Xcode. And then after installing, you need to run the app at least once. That will set it up and then allow the app to use git.
2) Questions and Answers : Bugs : A lot of Terminated WUs in the Boinc Manager reported as “Ready to report” and “Computation error” (Message 863) Posted 9 Jan 2025 by zombie67 [MM] Post: Many projects cannot handle a user reporting that many tasks at one time. That may be what is happening here. Try reporting just (say) 100 tasks at a time. You do this by adding this to your /var/lib/boinc/cc_config.file: <cc_config> <options> <max_tasks_reported>100</max_tasks_reported> </options> </cc_config> Be sure to tell BOINC to re-read config files after you add it. Or quit/re-start BOINC. Either way should work.
3) Questions and Answers : Bugs : What's going on with the server? (Message 840) Posted 27 Dec 2024 by zombie67 [MM] Post: Thanks for the info. Is a server restart bad for some reason?
4) Questions and Answers : Bugs : What's going on with the server? (Message 838) Posted 27 Dec 2024 by zombie67 [MM] Post: For the last couple of weeks, the server is going crazy. It's up/down/up/down multiple times per hour. What's going on, and whet needs to happen to get it working properly again?
5) Questions and Answers : Feature requests : MacOS Apple Silicon ARM support (Message 818) Posted 16 Nov 2024 by zombie67 [MM] Post: Currently the project only supports Intel Mac devices, not the newer Apple Silicon ARM chip devices. Please add support to these newer devices. +1
6) Questions and Answers : Bugs : All tasks failing on one computer (Message 811) Posted 21 Oct 2024 by zombie67 [MM] Post: I set all of my computers to get work from LODA again recently, and apart from the brief outage a few days ago, my computers have been happily returning work. Except for one, and I wasn't paying close attention so I didn't realize that it has been returning every task with invalid results after about 20-30 seconds of processing time. My first thought was that GIT wasn't functioning properly, but I have uninstalled and reinstalled it multiple times and still keep getting invalid results on this computer. Any suggestions to fix the problem? https://boinc.loda-lang.org/loda/show_host_detail.php?hostid=10329 I have stopped allowing new work on this computer so it doesn't keep returning invalid results. I also had one machine with the same situation. I tried re-installing git, rebooting the machine, making sure I was on the latest version of BOINC. Nothing fixed it. Then I went into BOINC and reset the project, and that fixed it.
7) Questions and Answers : Bugs : Validation error (Message 776) Posted 21 Aug 2024 by zombie67 [MM] Post: I am back to getting many tasks that are using no CPU at all. And then they don't validate. I am not sure the fix actually fixed anything.
8) Questions and Answers : Bugs : Validation error (Message 769) Posted 18 Aug 2024 by zombie67 [MM] Post: I have just watched 24 work units running and saw that only 1 work unit was actually using the CPU, the other 23 were not using any CPU at all. I am seeing the same situation on my Mac an my Raspberry Pis. Only a few tasks are actually loading the CPU thread they are running on. The rest of the tasks appear to be running, but idle. I am guessing that the idle tasks are the ones being marked as invalid upon completion. And the few tasks that look like they are running properly are the ones being marked valid.
9) Questions and Answers : Feature requests : stats export (Message 180) Posted 17 May 2022 by zombie67 [MM] Post: Thanks! Stats are now being published for this project at Free-DC: https://stats.free-dc.org/proj/loda
10) Questions and Answers : Feature requests : stats export (Message 125) Posted 14 May 2022 by zombie67 [MM] Post: The folder where the stats data should be is blank: https://boinc.loda-lang.org/loda/stats/ Even if the stat sites were to add this project right now, there would be no data for them to import. This project needs to turn on stats export cron job first. I think the instructions are here: https://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/XmlStats The (old) instructions say most projects export them every 24 hours. This is no longer true. Most projects export them every 4 or 6 hours.
11) Questions and Answers : Feature requests : stats export (Message 105) Posted 14 May 2022 by zombie67 [MM] Post: Can you please turn on stats export? Every 4 hours is normal.
12) Questions and Answers : Bugs : estimated run time too short (Message 57) Posted 14 May 2022 by zombie67 [MM] Post: When you first attach, WAY too many tasks download. I have over a thousand tasks on several machines. And this is with a preference setting of less than 24 hours. I think there is a problem with the estimated run time set for the tasks.
13) Questions and Answers : Getting started : The git message disappears (Message 47) Posted 14 May 2022 by zombie67 [MM] Post: When you go to the home page, you see a message about needing git. But once you log in, and go back to the home page, the message is gone. Not sure why, but I think it needs to stay there, wether you are logged in or not.
