I download a new task, it start working and it finish in a few seconds. But it doesn\'t produce any result.
I have the following messages from the server:

14/05/2010 9.24.21 climateprediction.net Starting task hadsm3dhet2_k0jn_006610357_6 using hadsm3 version 607

I unsuccesfully tried for several time:
- to reset project
- to unsubscribe/subscribe againg from the procjet
- to reinstall Boinc (deleting Boinc application and project files and data)

...what else?

If you look at the stderr out list for your failed models, it says error 193.
According to this post, it\'s possible that your AV has quarantined some/all of your BOINC stuff.
Also as mentioned, Norton\'s Sonar is a real pain in this regard.

I didn\'t file such error in error log.
I disable my AV (F-Prot): same result. No files in quarantine, no msg about risks on Boinc files.
Anyway, I have 2 more projects on Boinc (seti@home, milkyway#home) and they running good..

Buona sera Valerio; benvenuto al foro.

Credo che non c\'è nessun problema con la sua protezione antivirus. C\'è un defetto nelle corrente applicazione CPDN quando provano lanciarsi su certe macchine Windows: una piccola proporzione. (Le macchine non sono difettose.) Siamo cercando piu dettagli deli administratori del projetto e risponderemo qui, si possiamo domani o domenica.

Risponderemo sicuramente in inglese perchè il mio italiano è molto limitato, ma si lei ha bisogno di una traduzione italiana cercaremo una persona.

Per il momento, nella linguetta Progetti del suo Boinc deve scegliere per favore \'Nessune Tasche Nuove\' per CPDN.

[This is a problem with the current CPDN applications on a small number of computers with Windows; we really need more information from the project admins. We\'ll try to reply in more detail later this weekend, probably in English but if Valerio would like an Italian explanation we\'ll find a translator.]

Hi again Valerio

I now know that tasks are compiti in Italian; I just assumed that Italian would use the same word as French and Spanish...

Last error 193

* CPDN file paths have always contained white spaces. A small number of computers with Windows cannot handle the spaces. They cannot read the file paths and cannot find the files for the models. So the models cannot be processed.

* A new model type called FAMOUS is being beta-tested. In this model type the white space problem has been eliminated. When it is launched on the CPDN public project (I hope in a few weeks) computers should be able to process this model type without problems.

* The model programmer, Tolu, knows about the problem in other model types. Unfortunately he has far too much work for one person and cannot fix the problem for the other model types at the moment.

What to do?

1. It is possible to edit Windows so that it can recognise the white spaces. Members should only do this if they are very experienced. (I would not want to.) Moderator Thyme Lawn can post the instructions if any member wants.

2. The easy solution.

Wait until FAMOUS is launched. Until it is launched select No New Tasks for CPDN and process work for other projects. I see that you already do work for Seti and MilkyWay so that isn\'t a problem.

Edit the Climateprediction.net preferences in your account. In the blue menu on the left of this page click on Taking part in CPDN; in the submenu you will see a link to your account. You should edit your model preferences to say Yes for FAMOUS but No for all other model types. Then in your Boinc manager Projects tab select CPDN and click the Update button. This will inform the CPDN server about your changed preferences.

When FAMOUS is launched on CPDN you will see it here:
http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/server_status.html

The launch will also be announced in the forum News and Announcements thread at the top of the Number Crunching section here:
http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/forum_forum.php?id=2
In the News thread you can click on the Subscribe button and you will receive an email when there are new announcements (but you must also allow emails from CPDN in the Community preferences of your account).


I\'m sorry there\'s no easy and immediate solution to this problem at the moment. Tullio can explain any or all of this in Italian if you want. (Thanks, Tullio!)

I am going to edit the title of this thread to say Last error 193. It will then be easier for other members with this problem to find the discussion.

I hope this is OK, Valerio.

Hi mo.v and thanks again

...for that I hate and I never use blank spaces in paths and in filenames....
I can wait for FAMOUS lauch.

Be careful about Spanish-French-Italian similarities... there are a lot of false-friends. Spanish \"salida\" is \"sortie\" in French and \"uscita\" in Italian, in Italian \"salita\" means \"ascent, uphill\"
Task means also \"compito\", but \"lavoro\" (job) is commonly used

Don\'t be worried about the title of the thread: a title is only a title.....

bye

Message 39739 - Posted: 18 May 2010, 11:40:35 UTC - in response to Message 39727.  


I found an temporary-easy until Famous model will be available.

1. Stopped Boinc-manager and service
2. Move Boinc-data folder to a path without \"blank spaces\" in folder names (eg. C:\\Media\\Boinc)

3. Edit the Registry and update the value DATADIR in the key
\"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Space Sciences Laboratory, U.C. Berkeley\\BOINC Setup\" with new Boinc-data folder path

4. In each ../BOINC/slots/ subfolder (0, 1,... it depends on how much boinc project you have subscribed) edit the file \"init_data.xml\" (you can use whatever editor you like) and update lines <project_dir> and <boinc_dir> with new Boinc-data folder path. Better make a copy of original version of init_data.xml file before modifying it.

5. Lauch Boinc-manager again, modify CPND application preferences in your account setting (deselect Famous application preference)... and it work fine

Il takes less than 5 minutes.....

I see you downloaded a new task today so let\'s see whether it runs and trickles.

I see that you\'ve created a new account for your recent post.
If you\'re planning on using this to install a Linux computer, then that\'s NOT the way to do it! Your credits and models will belong to the 2nd account, which effectively belongs to a different person. And the two lots of credits CAN\'T be added together!

Use your original account, and attach the 2nd computer there, using the Existing user option!
