1) Message boards : Number crunching : NoContraintsWithDisk200 vs. south4s (or whatever) (Message 68548) Posted 16 Apr 2019 by marmadukejoe Post: Upthread I reported the same problem. I'm also on version 7.2.42, which is the current available (Mint 17). I've now tried upgrading to a more recent version from ppa:costamagnagianfranco/boinc (https://launchpad.net/~costamagnagianfranco/+archive/ubuntu/locutusofborg-ppa). The client upgraded to 7.6.31 but the manager was held back. In synaptic the manager & metapackage are still version 7.2.42 and lists 7.6.31 as the available upgrade version, but shows them as 'broken packages' and won't allow an upgrade. Mint 17 reaches end of support this month so I'll upgrade soon and reattach to MW when I've done so. As a test I've just now installed BOINC on a laptop running Mint 18.2. This has installed version 7.6.31. The 'south' wu's are running happily, (however once this block has completed I'll detach that machine). One further observation on the original problem, the last wu that downloaded in each batch I attempted error'd with 'download error'. -------------------------------------------------- Stderr output <core_client_version>7.9.3</core_client_version> <![CDATA[ <message> WU download error: couldn't get input files: <file_xfer_error> <file_name>stars-84-donlon.txt</file_name> <error_code>-200 (wrong size)</error_code> </file_xfer_error> </message> ]]> -----------------------------------------------------

This machine is also Linux 64bit, but no GPU is being used. I have noticed that the workunits that fail are subsequently being validated by others, but the machines that complete them all seem to be running Windows.
