Hej, what kind of nano-scale-run was that? | |

Kalessin wrote: Hej, what kind of nano-scale-run was that? Well put, sir. :-) It was a test. And it was successfull, so now more work will flow. This week I finally had some time to work on bringing our suite of sample applications in line with the newest BOINC code. At first it looked like that would be easy, but I quickly found that there was a problem on Windows with even the 'hello' app. It would build, but failed when run (in standalone mode) due to a missing .DLL. Not good. The 'hello' app is the simplest app you can build in BOINC, so if that doesn't work then we got a problem. I spent most of yesterday sorting that out, including preparing a new build machine, with the newest Microsoft compiler. I also tried different snapshot versions of the BOINC code, thinking that perhaps what's in the trunk was work in progress. In any case, late in the evening I was able to get a version which would build and run in standalone mode. With both complier versions, in fact. But would there be some problem running out on the fleet? I didn't know. So I let out about 50 WU's and went to bed. When I found the next day that they had been successful I started generating more work. The plan now is to work through the suite of demo apps, as we have before, yello, cube, etc... to bring them all up to date. And of course to document what's been learned, for those who follow, to make it easier for anyone else to build their own BOINC applications and run their own BOINC project. I know it's been very quiet here lately. Thanks as always to those members of the crew who put up with sporadic work, small workunits, the occasional error, and all that. In some way, one hopes, you are helping make BOINC better. And, one hopes, having a good time doing it. ____________ -- Eric Myers "Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire." -- William Butler Yeats | |

Here is the message I just sent to the project team: I just received 2 virus from your project! This is very serious, I will therefore advised communities. I wonder if I will not withdraw totally from the project and to be valid indefinitely. The proof here is the report AVAST: 08/10/2008 22:59:22 SYSTEM 1824 Sign of "Win32:SkiMorph [Cryp]" has been found in "C:\ProgramData\BOINC\projects\pirates.spy-hill.net\hello_6.02_windows_intelx86.exe" file. ____________ | |

Same problem with virus alert from AVAST!. Have stopped Pirates on all my PCs. Please check your system. | |

Hmm, I am hopeful that this is a false alarm.

I'm not sure yet how to generate an MD5 hash on Windows, but this can be used to verify that the files on your machine are the files here on my machine. BOINC also performs a signature check of the files. The application files are signed using our project's private key, and the BOINC client can then use the published public key to verify the signature. There's another thread in this forum where there is a report of a signature failure. Check your own logs to see if this is happening to you. You can also check your client_state.xml file for the file sizes and signatures. I can publish the file signatures in this thread, and you can check that they match. Verifying by-hand that they match doesn't prove that the files were signed with our private key, but it does provide a cross-check. If the client logs say the signatures don't match then the files are likely not the files that I originally built and distributed. Hopefully there is a simple explanation for this. As always, it's a good opportunity to test BOINC. ____________ -- Eric Myers "Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire." -- William Butler Yeats | |

AVAST has had problems with BOINC and application files on other projects, so I lean toward that as the likely explanation here. See for example: | |

Then the last two failed with a compute error. This might indicate that the executable was altered on your machine. Please check the file size, and MD5 hash if that is possible. Let us know what you find. And thank you for taking the time to contact us about this. ____________ -- Eric Myers "Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire." -- William Butler Yeats | |
