Development for LHC@home

Disaster

Never had this problem before and they are ALL crashing.

So far Atlas and vLHC are not having any problem with this update.

I even tried a *reset*

My LHCb tasks are all crashing on my Linux box with VirtualBox 5.1.2. CMS tasks work perfectly. Multicore apps crash, also because my Opteron 1210 has only 2 cores.

I just updated today, seems OK so far with multicore.

ALICE & CMS failed:

2016-08-05 23:29:47 (8104): Error 0x80004001 in vbox51::VBOX_VM::create_vm (c:\src\boinc\boinc\samples\vboxwrapper\vbox_mscom_impl.cpp:359)
2016-08-05 23:29:47 (8104): Error: Getting Error Info! hr = 0x1

Spoke too soon, just errors everywhere after running overnight.

My Benchmark also failed on the Linux box with VBox 5.1.2

Have informed Rom.

CMS appears to be working, if you use vboxwrapper 26196.

I just tried a couple CMS version with VB 5.1.2 and in less than 3 seconds they both crashed.

I have taken the one from theory and renamed it 26193.

Works fine.

Works fine.

I guess I will try Theory after I get that 225MB .vdi d/l'd

(it looks like that will take a long time on this DSL)

Ok I took a couple days off try this VB version and just a few minutes ago decided to give it another try (and I did see Rasputin got a Valid tasks using this 7.7.26197 wrapper)

So far it looks like it is running but just now when I checked the RDC it says this-----



And when I X'd out of the VB manager it PAUSED the task and then made it a computer error.

THEN I try it on an Atlas task that has been running fine and when I X'd out of the RDC it KILLED that task too.

Glad I didn't even try this with the vLHC X2 I also have running since I already just wasted 9 hours of that Atlas task.

SO.......either this version of VB is bad and needs a clean reinstall....or I just am having no %$#@ luck with it and should just go back to VB 5.0.14

Oy Vey

Edit: Ok I just did the regular Oracle VB *repair* and did a reboot and am going to give this another try.

And also check the RDC and see if it says it is killed and also just plain computer error out again........then I will decide if I am doing a clean reinstall of this VB version.......since as I mentioned I always have got Valid Atlas and vLHC tasks with this version (but didn't use the RDC and kill the tasks when X'ing out)

Either that or just reinstall VB version 5.0.14........never had this happen since way back with the 2011 version

OH and after I did this and went to start a new vLHC-dev task once again it is making me D/L the 680MB .vdi and as always my D/L's from Cern take HOURS and this never happens when I do this at the Einstein server......ridiculous 3 hours or more.

This is completely normal.

It never went beyond that.

That doesn't happen with any of my Valids

And the stderr has this

<message>
The filename or extension is too long.
(0xce) - exit code 206 (0xce)
</message>

Hi Magic,

are this errors from CMS with Multicore?

Will test this with Virtualbox 5.0.26.

Hi Maeax,

Well they are the CMS Simulation v47.40 (vbox64_mt_mcore)
windows_x86_64 tasks but I have my preferences set at *1* so it just uses one core.

The only problem is running these with VB version 5.1.2 and I only have one computer running with this version (it works no problem with vLHC and Atlas)

I have 2 other computers running these same vLHC-dev tasks with the VB 5.0.14 and they always get Valids

This is the host having the problem here with the new VB version http://lhcathomedev.cern.ch/vLHCathome-dev/results.php?hostid=272

It did run multi-core tasks when it had VB 5.0.14 for the original tests before they started here. (this host ran 6-cores for those tests)

I may try one more clean install of this VB version when I get a chance but right now I don't want to just waste the other vLHC X2 tasks while they are running with no problems (you probably remember why on our milestone thread over there)

Tonight is meteor shower night so I am hoping the clouds stay away for another 24 hours

Hi Magic,

have CMS(mcore) with ONE task and ONE cpu started. Vbox 5.0.26.

In the moment the third Condor process is running.

Have you message in stderr.log.

(Boincmanager -> show graphics -> machine logs -> Index of logs -> stderr.log

Meteor shower is behind the Clouds :-(

I updated to 5.1.4 and VLHC (all LHCb) is fine as well as Atlas.

On here the CMS, ALICE task seem to fail, but the Theory and Benchmark apps are good.
