They've all been running now for around 10 hours and have a predicted completion of 15 hours. I think the bug in the progress computation for these Tasks hasn't been fixed either. Earlier Tasks froze with no apparent progress at 50% and then suddenly completed. These are all frozen at exactly 40%. However, there is a new posting on the Ibercivis Message Board that says they now have a new version of the app on the server which is supposed to fix the checkpointing problem (but not the computation issue). I just did an update and got seven new Tasks with an ETA of 48 minutes! My six originals are still chuntering away though ;-( We'll see what happens. -- Terry Coles -- Next meeting: Online, Jitsi, Tuesday, 2020-06-02 20:00 Check to whom you are replying Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk New thread, don't hijack: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk

I gave up on hibernate, because (K)Ubuntu doesn't support it and the
instructions to make it work have all sorts of issues.

Yes. I got 6 yesterday.

Suspend to RAM works OK for me.

Re: [Dorset] New BOINC project that does computing for COVID-19
I gave up on using hibernate ('systemctl hibernate') only because the FAH
GPU task doesn't survive it.
I noticed that ibercivis released a whole load of new tasks. Still no
checkpointing, and some of them take much longer now, 8-9 hours for me.
That's a lot to lose to lack of checkpointing, so I'm going back to the VM
approach and will see how it really performs (as opposed to its
ahead-of-time estimate).
Tim.
