Hi everyone,

If you encounter a problem with xoroshigo2 (v1.1), please chime in on this thread.

Helpful info for us to have:
1. Example task where the issue occurred
2. The contents of stderr_file (can be found in the slot directory running the app)
3. The contents of stdout_file (can be found in the slot directory running the app)

Please include as much of this as possible as this gives us the greatest chance of diagnosing your particular issue and publishing a fix.

Thank you!

I have 9x Raspberry Pi, or Pi clones. 8 of the 9 are completing tasks just fine. But this one gets nothing but errors:

Here is a sample of the Stderr output:

Any ideas about what is problem is?

It's hard to say what's wrong without the contents of stderr_file in a slot directory that failed.

Can you find that and share it here?

it can be difficult to get files from the slot directory after a failure since they are all deleted the instant the task finishes. might be easier to instruct users how to run the app offline so that it's not deleted by BOINC when the task finishes

I have had same experience as Ian - content of slots directory disappear nearly instantly upon crashing.

Providing detailed manual running instructions OUTSIDE OF BOINC would be appreciated so we can help you out.

expect an app update that fixes this "soon"

I've tried Ian's test package with the stock binary on my Jetson TX2-NX SoC but it fails instantly and doesn't leave any stderr.txt fle in the test directory for debugging information. Just leaves the downloaded numpy support directory.

I'm currently testing his fixed test binary that is running now and will report back when it is finished.

my odroids are now running version 1.03 of the v1.1 app and it looks good

My test task using the new test application just finished after 2 hours 20 minutes on my Nvidia Jetson TX2-NX.

The issue with select ARM-based devices should now be resolved.

Thanks for everyone's help with that! :)

Did ya just cancel all the work?

I regenerated a bunch of work to interweave config files, rather than waiting until a config file is done to run the next one.

Wondered why I saw all the new app 1.03 work was cancelled.

Sure, but canceling our running WUs while they were actually being processed on our machines is a waste of our resources and not cool.

Also those run but waiting wingman wasted as "can't validate".

1.03 came out earlier, basically the day before.

Any updates on why the tasks keep failing on Windows 7?
Error tasks for computer 2591

I'm not sure. I don't run windows 7 anymore (haven't in a long time really) but I can install a VM and test it.

Without the contents of stderr_file I can't say one way or the other why it fails.

It's also possible we can't fix it. Windows 7 has been out of support for 5 years now and it should be expected that applications will start to make breaking changes to move away from paradigms that existed during 7 but are deprecated or completely removed in later versions.

After I test it, I'll update the thread so you know what I find.
