12:03 <yoyo[RKN]> in which package is xgettext
12:04 <PovAddict> that depends on the distro
12:04 <PovAddict> in debian, according to apt-file, it's in 'gettext'
12:04 <yoyo[RKN]> suse
12:05 <yoyo[RKN]> there seems to be a xgettext package according to google
12:05 <yoyo[RKN]> just waiting for yast
12:05 <PovAddict> heh
12:06 <PovAddict> checking if a package exists takes 0.5 seconds in debian :)
12:06 <PovAddict> oh oops that was all disk access

13:42 <proton23> PovAddict: What is necessary for boinc_time_to_checkpoint() to return true?
13:42 <PovAddict> when running in standalone mode, it never returns true
13:42 <proton23> ahhhhhh
13:42 <proton23> ok
13:43 <PovAddict> when properly running under BOINC's control, it depends on user preferences
13:43 <proton23> THAT helps :D
13:43 <proton23> no I'm just testing my app in standalone mode
13:43 <proton23> so that was just the answer I was looking for :)
13:49 <PovAddict> ugh...
13:49 * PovAddict is looking at the app-client communication
13:49 <PovAddict> looks like the client has no control over checkpoints
13:50 <PovAddict> the client can't tell the app to checkpoint; it can only tell the app (before starting) that it should checkpoint every N seconds; then it's the app that counts the time
14:37 *** efc has joined #boinc
15:02 <proton23> PovAddict: Sorry haven't seen your message
15:02 <PovAddict> I'm just ranting about crappy internals, don't mind me :p
15:03 <proton23> actually boinc_time_to_checkpoint() asks if it is possible to checkpoint, so I guess you can't even say in seconds when to checkpoint
15:04 <PovAddict> your app can't, no; the *user* says when to checkpoint in his preferences
15:04 <PovAddict> I was talking about the internal impl. of boinc_time_to_checkpoint
15:05 <PovAddict> in the way it works, it's impossible to add a "checkpoint immediately" button
15:05 <proton23> PovAddict: ahhh ok
15:06 <proton23> PovAddict: but I got another one :) Do you know how to deleted the work units from database?
15:06 <PovAddict> why?
15:06 <proton23> I'm writing the workgenerator
15:07 <proton23> I have to change the name everytime I ran it
15:07 <proton23> run
15:07 <PovAddict> workunit names have to be unique, yes
15:07 <PovAddict> if you delete old WUs from the database, you could create new ones with the same names as the deleted ones had, but *that* is still not a very good idea
15:08 <proton23> thats why I would like to delete them
15:08 <proton23> why not?
15:08 <PovAddict> what if one of your clients still has one of those old workunits for example?
15:08 <PovAddict> and output filenames use the workunit name, so you have to delete those too
15:09 <proton23> there will be no clients untill the workgenerator is finished :)
15:09 <proton23> that's fine by me
15:10 <PovAddict> just make a better workunit naming scheme :)
15:10 <PovAddict> add the current date/time for example :)
15:10 <proton23> are they written to the database?
15:10 <proton23> not a bad idea :)
15:11 <proton23> hmm... wait a sec
15:12 <proton23> If I run the wg and it produces wu that are no good
15:12 <proton23> they still would be delivered to the clients
15:13 <proton23> so I have to delete them
15:13 <proton23> PovAddict
15:13 <PovAddict> you can abort them from the admin web interface
15:15 <proton23> actually I want to run boinc as grid so I didn't set up a web interface
15:18 <proton23> PovAddict: Is it enough to delete just everything in download?
15:18 <PovAddict> no, output files are in upload
15:19 <PovAddict> also, you should run ./bin/stop before touching the DB
15:20 <proton23> thanks, I'm still in standalone mode so no problem there
15:21 <proton23> am I touching the DB by deleting those files?
15:21 <proton23> PovAddict
15:21 <PovAddict> if you run your app in standalone mode, it doesn't even need the BOINC server
15:21 <PovAddict> or a workunit name
15:22 <proton23> I'm testing that's why i run in standalone
15:23 <proton23> and the workgenerator doesn't need a running server
15:23 <proton23> PovAddict
15:23 <PovAddict> then it's not a "workgenerator" in the normal sense of the word; you're just generating input files for your app?
15:24 <PovAddict> if so, I don't understand what's your problem with the DB
15:24 <proton23> PovAddict yes

15:25 <proton23> http://codepad.org/AT8zcsnh
15:25 <Romulus> Title: C++ code - 123 lines - codepad (at codepad.org)
15:25 <proton23> that's my "work generator"
15:26 <proton23> PovAddict
15:26 <PovAddict> that does need a running server
15:26 <proton23> I know
15:26 <proton23> but
15:26 <PovAddict> [17:23] <proton23> and the workgenerator doesn't need a running server
15:27 <proton23> sorry I red doesn't
15:27 <proton23> read
15:27 <proton23> why does that need a running server?
15:27 <PovAddict> hmm define "running" :)
15:28 <proton23> :D
15:28 <PovAddict> if you're just testing standalone, why don't you skip the create_work step?
15:28 <PovAddict> just create the input files, and run the science app manually
15:29 <proton23> I did that and it work
15:29 <proton23> so now I want to test it with the server
15:29 <proton23> so I try to generate the work
15:30 <proton23> but I have to rerun it sometimes
15:32 <proton23> and then I get this http://codepad.org/UetqcSXC
15:32 <PovAddict> then you call the workunit something different
15:32 <Romulus> Title: Plain Text code - 18 lines - codepad (at codepad.org)
15:32 <PovAddict> add a timestamp to the workunit name
15:33 <proton23> will they not be delivered to the clients? I mean the wu's that are no good
15:33 <proton23> PovAddict
15:44 <PovAddict> what does "no good" mean?
15:45 <proton23> wrong integers
15:45 <PovAddict> if they crash... I think you should just let them get sent and crash :P
15:45 <PovAddict> if they compute for an hour and give the wrong result... you should probably abort them
15:45 <proton23> how to abort?
15:46 <PovAddict> admin web interface is the only way I know
15:46 <PovAddict> but you should test in standalone first, don't create actual WUs until you know it has the right integers ;)
15:48 <proton23> how to use several files in standalone?
15:49 <PovAddict> hmm?
15:49 <PovAddict> same way as you do with one :P
15:49 <proton23> I don't think so
15:50 <PovAddict> well, the way you run standalone is put the real data into a file called 'in' (which is the "logical name" used for your input file), right?
15:50 <proton23> in standalone an file "in" is necessary in the same directory
15:50 <proton23> yes
15:51 <proton23> :)
15:51 <PovAddict> that's just because your app is using 'in' as the filename for that
15:51 <PovAddict> you're calling boinc_resolve_filename("in") right?
15:51 <proton23> yes
15:51 <PovAddict> and now you want to take multiple input files for a workunit?
15:52 <proton23> no it should be one input file each work unit
15:53 <PovAddict> then copy other data into 'in' and run your app again
15:53 <PovAddict> :)
15:55 <proton23> download files will be deleted after they have been downloaded by a client?
15:55 <PovAddict> on the server?
15:56 <proton23> yes
15:56 <PovAddict> no, they will be deleted after the workunit is completed, uploaded, validated, and assimilated
15:57 <proton23> i don't deliver validator and assimilator
15:57 <PovAddict> then your workunits will remain "waiting for validation" forever ;)
15:58 <proton23> hmm... so I guess I have to take a look at the validator code :(
15:58 <proton23> where to put it and how to start it?
16:00 <proton23> 700 lines?
16:01 <proton23> that can't be right "out" handels just 2 integers
16:02 <proton23> can I turn off validation?
16:03 <PovAddict> no :P but you can use the sample validators
16:03 <PovAddict> are you using replication?
16:04 <proton23> no
16:04 <PovAddict> then just use sample_trivial_validator
16:04 <PovAddict> it says anything is valid
16:04 <PovAddict> and doesn't even look at the output file
16:04 <proton23> perfect!
16:04 <proton23> :D
16:05 <proton23> where do I have to put the binary and how is it started?
16:05 <PovAddict> brb
16:14 <PovAddict> back
16:14 <proton23> cool :)
16:14 <PovAddict> efc: what's that program you use to get maps of what part of the sky SETI has scanned?
16:14 <proton23> no no, the whole thing is for my BA
16:15 <PovAddict> that wasn't for you :P
16:15 <efc> BoincLog
16:15 <efc> +Seti@Home Mapview
16:16 <efc> (the latter reads the logs from the former)

16:18 <Romulus> <http://tinyurl.com/ylg4wa5> (at www.starrynightsupport.com)
16:18 <PovAddict> they haven't re-added support since SETI moved to BOINC...
16:19 <PovAddict> efc: apparently starry night supports motorized telescopes
16:19 <PovAddict> efc: so, with working SETI support, you could make your telescope point to the part of the sky currently being processed by your SETI WUs
16:20 <efc> Cool
16:20 <efc> My scope needs a mount still
16:20 <efc> we were just discussing stepper motor control over at #astronomy
16:25 <PovAddict> proton23: basically you just need to add another <daemon> entry to your config.xml, with command "sample_trivial_validator -appname apfel"
16:26 <proton23> PovAddict: *thumbs up*
16:29 <proton23> do I need to put it in "bin/"?
16:30 <PovAddict> it should be already there
16:30 <proton23> I just so it :D
16:33 <proton23> but assimilator is not necessary, right?
16:34 <PovAddict> that's where you do something useful with the computation results
16:35 <proton23> :)

18:19 <PovAddict> sort of
18:19 <PovAddict> just ask your q
18:26 <proton23> 1. Where do I find the option to set replication to 1?
18:27 <PovAddict> it's a workunit parameter
18:27 <PovAddict> you can set it in your workunit template (templates/apfel_wu)
18:27 <PovAddict> or in your work generator (wu.target_nresults = 1; wu.min_quorum = 1;)
18:27 <proton23> 2. Boinc Client has problems to download the files. I'm in a local network so, what could that be?
18:28 <proton23> I'm going with the template :)
18:28 <PovAddict> then remove those lines from your work generator :)
18:28 <PovAddict> in your last paste, you were setting those params to 2
18:29 <PovAddict> stuff you set in the wu object override the template
18:29 <proton23> ok
18:30 *** yoyo[RKN] has quit IRC
18:31 <proton23> changing the work generator seemed to be easier ;)
18:32 <proton23> I will report back
18:35 <proton23> PovAddict: you still won't tell me how to delete those wu's, right? :(
18:56 <proton23> PovAddict: I have to measure the time my program needs with different parameter, so I do the same computing with different wu's
18:57 <proton23> I would be great if I could delete them
18:59 <proton23> If I just use a different name the program has to run completely in order to make the file deleter delete those files
19:00 <proton23> if something goes wrong I'm screwed
19:01 <PovAddict> if a workunit fails (crashes, or finishes with non-zero exit code), the server will create a second copy
19:01 <proton23> PovAddict: So please please please tell me how to delete the work units
19:01 <PovAddict> [20:59] <proton23> If I just use a different name the program has to run completely in order to make the file deleter delete those files <- I have no clue what you mean with that
19:02 <PovAddict> but I'm off to dinner
19:02 <proton23> buon appetit
19:10 <proton23> PovAddict: I'm computing Mandelbrot set and I need to know at what blocksize it's computed the fastest. So I need to rerun it several times and I have to generate those work units always with a different set of numbers. And only those for this special blocksize can be computed so I have to get rid of the wu's from the test before for sure.
