Server error occurred during work unit download. Will try again later.
Could not contact server.
Could not fill up cache. Will try again later

This one fix will make a big difference to me, LM!

Can you give us a link to this client please.

Curly99 · 25 November 2003 09:04

If you give us your email address I can send either the Linux or the windows version, let us know

Had another bug, don’t know what caused it, have posted the details on the LM support board.

Basically the client just disappeared without a trace

I have had the client quit for no reason a couple of times. This was a problem that was fixed with the last version. The cause this time must be different. Other than that, this is the best version yet.

Went again, posted details again. Although this time I did get a standard Windows error box.

Just in case we can see a common theme:

AMD XP2400+ stock
Abit KX333-R Mobo (VIA 8367/8233A chipset)
2 x 256Mb Corsair PC2700 @ SPD timings
NVidia graphics (FX5600 Ultra V45.23 driver set)
Dual monitor support enabled and in use, Lifemapper on primary display.
Windows 2k Professional SP3

Running the client on four other machines all flawless which to me would remove Win2k,AMD processors, Corsair memory and NVidia graphics from the equation, as these are common themes.

Virus scanner? Defrag? …

Put the LM files (or the whole dir) in the exclude list of those progs.

The problems with concurrent file access are far less but not completely gone.

Any chance someone can mail this to me ?

Win cli on the way.

Curly? Dezy? One of you guys forward the Linux version to him?

MAOJC · 28 November 2003 23:27

Got them, farm up on linux client, slower but running.

Wine is being a total pain on 2.4-20 :nod:

AGD · 29 November 2003 04:34

Yeah had the same trouble with RH9 on the same kernel, that said mandrake 9 on the mandrake 9.1 kernel which is 2.4.21 is no sweat.

AGD · 5 December 2003 07:22

Now I’m no genius when it comes to Linux and Wine but after reading MAOJC post about kernel 2.4.20 and Wine , because I was having similar problems so I thought I would try RH 9 again with Wine and I found a version of Wine that runs sweet with RH 9 so my seti and lifmapper run fast. Before seti would run but lifemapper would not.

The version of Wine is

wine-20031118-1rh9winehq.i686.rpm

Like i said Im no genius but I had a win and wanted to share with you all as it might be useful to you

Cheers Tony.

Got up to something odd. 2 Lifemapper clients on one machine, one connecting to server fine, the other has been sitting on unable to connect for hours . Restart the client and it’s connected fine…

I’ve only upgraded one machine (P4 with HT x 2 cli’s) and one instance of the client dissapeared on me yesterday.

I saw this behaviour two times.
One time the cache was empty and the cli idle for some time beside trying to get a new jobpacket; the other time the cli tried to get a new jobpacket while the LM server rebooted.

Good call Tony, works the champ on the diskless boys, About 2 sec a step faster using the 1.0.02 (rc1) client for windows.

Now where is that distribution script!
