• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Why does Linux hate me?

Is there anyway to know whether Stanford has actually received the unit for sure? My stats aren't reflecting the unit as being received. The fight goes on....

Also, is there anyway to have the client's time match my system time? The client is always four hours ahead of my local time.
 
Hi freeloader (team 33),
Your WU (P6903 R9 C12 G99) was added to the stats database on 2012-07-01 11:08:30 for 238731 points of credit.

The times in the log are UTC. It's supposed to be that way and can't be changed. Unless you want to set your system clock to UTC it will never match your log.
 
Odd, this shouldn't normally happen.

Can you check your logs for instances of:
Code: 
Reading file work/wuresults_03.dat from core
at times other than 09:35:06 ?


Looks like successfully returned unit wasn't deleted and its queue entry
didn't get updated either. Hence this happened --
Code: 
[10:24:26] Posted data.
[10:24:27] Initial: 0000; - Uploaded at ~73 kB/s
[10:24:27] - Averaged speed for that direction ~64 kB/s
[10:24:27] - Server has already received unit.

You should delete wuresults_03.dat manually so the client ceases
return attempts (otherwise it will be retrying "indefinitely"*).

*) until slot 3 gets reused (read: days)

You said you killed the client and started it again... -- Q: how did you stop the client?

Click to expand...

Tear, I used CTRL-C to stop the client in the terminal window. I still have work results 2 and 3 in my work folder. For whatever reason, the client is not deleting the units once it's uploaded them to the results server. :confused: I have multiple times where the term, "reading file work/wuresults_03.dat" has come up in my log. At least three that I can see at 1:40, 4:15 and 4:23. I'm only 7 frames into my current unit, should I delete the existing work folder and start again for a fresh start?



ChelseaOilman...where do you find that info for work units?

Very odd. (Ctrl+C is absolutely fine)

Did you set up langouste on your machine? (just trying to determine all the variables)

Also, can you paste your client.cfg? (with the exception of the passkey, ofc)
 
Deleting returned wuresults_XX.dat should be enough.

I suspect that deleting work/ directory is not going to cure the problem (of the client not deleting
returned results and not updating queue.dat accordingly) and we may need to dig in... again ;-)

No langouste on my machine that I'm aware of and here's my client.cfg file. Is there anyway to tell if I will get credit for work unit 3 before I manually delete the file?

Per Chelsea, your unit 03 (P6903 R9 C12 G99) has been credited, so it looks like
the issue has already occurred twice (unit returned successfully but not marked as such).

I'd say it's safe to remove results from both slots (02 and 03).

My proposal is to watch what happens w/ your current unit (04) -- please avoid restarting
the client so we can see what the client does w/o intervention.
 
So is it possible that my client processed the same unit twice? They have identical PRCG elements. 6903 (Run 9, Clone 12, Gen 99) One was done and credited on July 1st and the other unit just finished this morning as you can see in my logs above. Very strange indeed. My current work folder now looks like this...

I have seen this happen before on a few occasions. The times I have seen it happen have always been when there was a connection problem on my end. F@H log would read as could not connect to assignment server but F@H was connected to the collection server with a very slow connection between 0kb and 90kb. and I would not notice it for hours. I would then shut F@H down and reboot the computer start fah again at which point the connection problem would be gone. Fah would send the WU again and the collection server would respond it had already seen this unit.

If I remember correctly it would attempt to send the WU a few more times and the CS would refuse, but upon competition and transmission of the next WU the work directory would get cleaned up.
 
A-ha... so one of the symptoms (slot 3 WU already received) could be explained by unit
getting re-issued. Question is why it (slot 3 got same WU as slot 2) happened...

Ok, if you're up for more digging --
1. Delete wuresults_02.dat and wuresults_03.dat -- they're of no use (EDIT -- ok, seems this one's taken care of already)
2. Keep the client running and also make sure there's only one
  client instance running (sanity check) -- ps auxw | grep fah6
3. Download, build and run qd, then paste results please:
Code: 
cd ~
wget http://linuxminded.nl/software/qd-tools/source/qd/qd.c
gcc -o qd qd.c -lm
cd fahdirectory
~/qd
4. No matter what issue manifests next, don't shut the client down -- paste complete
  FAHlog.txt (e.g. to pastebin.com or by means of pastebinit app) or just e-mail it
  to me (tear@braxis.org)

Thank you!

qd output confirms slots 2 and 3 getting same WU... even though issue dates
are several days apart... :eek:

Don't have a better idea than to continue observations...
 
Thanks Tear. This current unit is at 42% so I'll be able to see what happens tomorrow night sometime. I've also switched over my connection from wireless to a cable to see if the wireless was causing problems during the transmission of a completed unit.
