Oh yeah, I forgot where I put that thread. :P I did fix permissions, but I'm missing those jpeg files. :(

I'll try getting some work tonight. If that fails, I'll reset the project.

I found a file called stderrgfx.txt, and inside are a bunch of the following lines:
Failed to load '/var/lib/boinc/projects/climateprediction.net/globe.jpg'.


So, I'm guessing my globe.jpg file is corrupted. Anyone got a download link?

Ah, so the clouds are actually changing when I use the number keys 1-5 to change them.... The weird characters appear to be part of the ocean and land bitmap. Hmm... I wonder if there's a corrupt or missing graphic file? Any idea what file(s) to look at?

This model is running OK.

However, the graphics when I select "Clouds" looks like this image.


The other graphics (temperature, pressure, etc) are fine. What is wrong with this model?

I have WU in progress that are also granting me millions of credits, way above what is considered customary. Please fix the credit machine.

BigDave67,
In your Computing Preferences, be sure to set "Leave tasks in memory while suspended?" = Yes. This will pause climate models when necessary but won't force them to unload from memory. This setting can save time and reduce the possibilities of errors if your machine switches from idle to busy frequently. Works for me; YMMV.

On the preferences page, what type do these new weather@home models belong to? I have HadCM and HadAM3 selected, iirc.

Edit: NM. I think I found it: HadAMP3_EU

My machine has been crunching a CM3 model for quite some time now. But it took a bit of luck to get it. Since you've been gone a while, be sure to set your climateprediction.net preferences, and select which model(s) you want to run.

Ah! Your chmod commands on the txf/ folder fixed the problem.

Thanks.

PS No, not running any graphic accelerator stuff.

The only thing that looks interesting is the contents of the stderrgfx.txt file:

Failed to load '/var/lib/boinc/projects/climateprediction.net/globe.jpg'.
Failed to load '/var/lib/boinc/projects/climateprediction.net/eu.jpg'.


These two lines repeat several times...and the two images referenced are there in the filesystem.... So, not sure why the graphics app can't read them....

Oh, and I do have libjpeg x86_64 and i686 installed....
libjpeg-turbo-1.1.1-1.fc14.i686
libjpeg-turbo-1.1.1-1.fc14.x86_64


Does the graphics program run as the boinc user account or as my account (logged in user)? I search file permissions just in case.

Sorry, forgot system details. I'm running BOINC 6.10.58. Fedora 14 with kernel 2.6.35.14-106.fc14.x86_64. I don't see any error messages when it's running or i click show graphics.

Is there some kind of graphics debug file maybe?

Model is running OK I believe. However, the graphics do not show any font or text. Even when I press 'h' the gray box comes up but there is no text to read.

What is wrong and how to fix?

Odd. I guess I am mistaken. I see now the apps are listed
http://climateapps2.oerc.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/apps.php

I did check my preferences, and it's set to receive all the AM3 regional models.

I guess we're back to the empty WU queue. I subscribed to the project RSS feed, so I'll check back for work once I hear something.

I'm in no hurry since Summer is here, and it's a hot one. Once Fall starts, I will look forward to having a few thousand WU to crunch. :)

Edit: That said, running Linux means I don't get any of the EU models... so waiting is required in my case.

Posted 26 Sep 2011 by DJStarfox
Post:
Here's a new one for you. I'm crunching a task, but it's not on my list of tasks in progress. It's like the website has no knowledge of this task.

How can I found out what workunit number this task is running on?

My host ID is: 1087841
Task is named: hadcm3n_u7bv_1980_40_007460072_2
Received on: 09/24/2011 11:21am
Task deadline: 12/24/2011 06:52pm

(Not sure about the timezone, might be EST or GMT.)

Post:
I seem to recall a script the project admins ran that detected idle workunits. If there is a workunit with "In Progress" tasks, it checks that at least one trickle has been received in the last 6 weeks or so. If not, they could cause those tasks to abort and resend.

I think running such a query this weekend would be insightful.

Yeah, looks like the scheduler is accepting requests again. However, the last trickle showing on my 1 running model is from 09 Jul 2011 22:07:33. I know my computer has sent several trickles since then. I hope they're not lost.
