Hey everyone- semi-new to SETI, nice to meet you. :) I recently got the BOINC manager running on my Linux machine- although my computer seems to be actively looking for/fetching new tasks, I don't seem to be making any progress. https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/results.php?hostid=8390027&offset=0&show_names=0&state=6&appid= Every task results in the status "Error while computing"- is this something going on via my end, or do I need to reconfigure something with BOINC/SETI? Thanks! |

When you click on the task ID of any of your tasks, you will get the stderr.txt output of such a task, with the actual error. In your case, all say process got signal 11, SIGSEGV: segmentation violation , which is usually caused by bad memory. See this BOINC FAQ for options and other possible causes. |

I also get that exact same error due to the "VSYSCALL deprecated - s@h client recompile needed". Memtest86+ is always good to check the system memory. However, for the deprecated VSYSCALL error for the newer Linux kernels/distros: Is this fixed in the new upcoming v10 s@h clients? ;-) ;-) Happy crunchin', Martin See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) |
