Dear 'La frite',
as you can see http://dg.imp.kiev.ua/slinca/workunit.php?wuid=166081
was successfully finished at my PC (XP Pro 64), but failed at your and other PC (Win 7).
We assume that was caused by different scheme of system calls for zipping in these systems.
That is why we need to re-design our application for Win 7 to eliminate this problem.

We apologize for such behavior of our application and would compensate it by double credits for faulty workunits.
Thank you very much for your observation!

Best regards,
Yuri

Im using Windows XP and I have the same problem as La frite. All my worksunits had errors Could not open zip local file.

Dear x3mEn,

you demonstrate the wonderful stability of running our tasks in SLinCA-project.

Could you, please, share with me and other users your experince in our forum
http://distributed.org.ua/forum/index.php?showforum=128.

The matter is that other users have problems with zipping their results.

Best regards,

Так що там за проблема з Could not open ZIP_local file?
Мабуть що різниця в правах на доступ до того місця, куди по-змовчанню архівується файл.
В мене права Advanced User, тому проблем нема. IMHO.

Майже одночасно дійшли до того ж висновку.
У нас всіх Windows-машинах BOINC працює під екаунтом з правами адміна - тому ми це обмеження не помітили.
На Vista перевірили - імітували обмежені права і спробували виконати завдання - дійсно не виходить рахувати, якщо не має прав адміна.
Схоже на правду - дякуємо!

Наразі дуже зайнятий і не може приділити достатньо уваги цій проблемі.
Взагалі - у мене ВСІ завдання працюють
і (дещо сумно) не маю жодної іншої версії стосовно вирішення проблеми на інших Windows-машинах.

Якби завдання не працювали (точніше якби не архівувались! , бо завдання працюють всюди) у x3mEn ,
то була б зовсім інша справа.
Всеодно дякуємо за підтримку і намагання допомогти нам
До речі, ми продовжуємо (приблизно раз на тиждень перераховувати кредіти за глючні завдання у 2-му розмірі)

Currently I am very busy and can not devote enough attention to this problem.
Actually - all tasks work well on my PCs are

If the tasks were not working (ie if no archive "for the task are everywhere) on x3mEn's Windows-machines,
it would have been quite different.

Anyway we thank all of you for your support and efforts to help us

SLinCA-Yuri,
взагалі-то слід подумати, що не так відбувається з цим самим архівуванням. Я бачив досить багато проектів, де саме через логи можна здогадатися, що перед відсилкою результату відбувається архівація файлів. Але я ніде не бачив, щоб перед цих блимало якесь чорне віконце. Ви знаєте про що я. Це зовнішній запуск архіватора. Я думаю, що саме через те, що ви використовуєте якийсь нестандартний метод архівації, ви маєте проблеми з пошуком архівів, помилку "Could not open ZIP_local file."

Подивіться, як реалізована архівація даних в інших проектах і скористайтесь їх досвідом.

Погоджуюсь (використання popup cmd вікно для системних викликів - це поганий стиль програмування)
- з рештою це була "калька" на windows способу архівування,
який ми зазвичай використовували (використовуємо) весь час в Linux.
Спробуємо це якось змінити іншими засобами.
Дякуємо!

Справа с тому, що BOINC Ставився під цим обліковим записом. І коли машина працює під обліковим адміна, то відповідно всі програми запускаються під адмінськими правами. Єдине, що деякі процеси може блокувати система захисту, але вона наразі відімкнена

I have detached and then re-attached to the project on both my Windows XP computers but I am still getting the exact same errors.
The work units often run to completion (so lots of hours wasted) and then say that the "Output file xxxxxxxx.... is Absent" and then error out.

This is not affecting my Linux machines.

Dear JHAPA,

unfortunately no progress with stable ZIPping results for Windows tasks at the moment.

Beg your pardon, because of vacation period and no time-resources for re-design of application.

We will inform about progress in the news section of web-site, but NOT eaarlier than in August.

Thanks for your (and others') persistance and care!

The "failed to Open ZIP Locale File" appears to be still with us.
I have just returned to the project to try and see if the Windows problems are fixed.
Alas they are not.
I have returned two results taking 80,000 seconds each (total over 44 hours) only to have them classed as failed due to this ZIP Locale file problem again.
I tried to find where this file is but am unable to find it.
There is nothing in the messages to say that the WU was faulty, it all processed successfully with no errors.
The stdr also shows no problem.
So is the problem just the Project is unable to ZIP the finished result when uploading?
Is there a certain ZIP programme that we should be using that will work?

I am using Windows XP 32 bit.

My linux machines do not have this issue so what are they using to ZIP their files?
Can't that be used on Windows instead?

I will have to abort a couple of dozen work units due to this problem on my Windows computers.

Hi, Conan,

thank you for your detailed analysis!
You are right - in Linux machies we have the more uniform ZIP-functionality among dfifferent machines.
We know about this instability of ZIP-functionality on some Windows systems and we will try to incorporate other code for zipping.

There is also problem with time counting. It shows run time around 11 hours, but this task takes more than 50 hours. I need to reboot my PC and information about time was lost.

Let us know when the problem with ZIPing is solved, otherwise I can't continue with crunching on this project.

I would like to start doing some SLinCA work again but don't want to waste hours of processing time to have work units error out.

Thanks

Conan

I suppose the problem is still there, because the last version of application programs were installed on 23rd December and my task using this version failed.

Yes it is still there. I just ran a number of Windows work units on my XP machine and they all errored out with the same old error.

I have noticed that the volunteer 'Martin' has some Windows XP machines and they are returning successful results since the 9/5/12, what does his machines have in the way of ZIP files that mine don't?

What is the ZIP programme used in Windows 7 as it seems to work from the few I have seen?

Linux is still working away with no problems.

Dear Conan,

The short reply: I do not know, why some Windows XP machines (including my PCs) successfully crunch our tasks, and someone fail.
The long reply: during winter we tried several archiving regimes and they were not satisfactory for us,
that is why we would like to make adjustment after major upgrade during June and install them (after local testing) in July.

Thank you (and others, especially x3mEn + Szopler!) for your info again!

Best regards,
Yuri

I have multiple work units that are also producing this error. Running windows 7 pro x64, and others on gentoo linux, also x64.

One example.

Have tried again, but still failing on Windows XP 32 bit, lost around 50 hours of processing.

Same "Could not open ZIP file"

Did not mention this before but it appears that the application processes fine up to the point of returning the result.

Then it has trouble and generates errors with the "parse_init_data_file"

Such errors are "Unrecognised XML in parse_init_data_file: userid"
"Unrecognised XML in parse_init_data_file: teamid"
"Unrecognised XML in parse_init_data_file: hostid"
"Unrecognised XML in parse_init_data_file: result_name"
"Unrecognised XML in parse_init_data_file: start_elapsed_time"
"Unrecognised XML in parse_init_data_file: computation_deadline"

So is there more than just an issue with the ZIP file but with another file as well?

Thanks

Conan

Same issue here on all attached boxes. (W7, 2008, XP, 32 or 64 Bit)

The windows application should be depreciated (removed) until this is fixed. Wasting unsuspecting volunteers time and resources is not acceptable.

Ok, i have written email to Yuri, hope he will read it.

Did Yuri use a compiler to look for read-only memory locations?

Linux
SIGSEGV: segmentation violation

Changed Security permissions of the Boinc directory and had a task validate.
Probably specific to Dotsch, though I've seen similar issues with Kubuntu at other projects.

I expect that this security requirement is the same with Windows; your account needs to be able to read, write, change and create folders and files.
Maybe in Win installing Boinc and not selecting all users or daemon/service install, then taking ownership of the Boinc directories would do the trick.

I have completed my first WUs of the project and had this error. I do not plan to do anymore at this time.

OS = Vista 32

On the point about ownership and permissions I do understand that sometimes you need to change permissions to allow you same permissions as System but I do not think this is the case here. There must be another issue.

I am a member of over 50 projects and this is the only one that fails in this way.

So I read an earlier post where the project say they check on failed WUs and will give credit if they have failed in the way described through this Topic.

I will wait to see if I receive any credit it will to me be an indication that what is going on is at least being monitored by project staff and then I will start to check in with the Forum again to follow the progress for resolving this problem.

Regards,

I thought I would have another go at this project. All WUs failed after varying times and wasted a bit over 100 hours of CPU.

darek, conan, bellumm, La frite, Tamagoch, re_SET, x3mEn - дуже дякую за наполегливість!

Наразі дуже зайнятий і не може приділити достатньо уваги цій проблемі.
Взагалі - у мене ВСІ завдання працюють
і (дещо сумно) не маю жодної іншої версії стосовно вирішення проблеми на інших Windows-машинах.

Якби завдання не працювали (точніше якби не архівувались! , бо завдання працюють всюди) у x3mEn ,
то була б зовсім інша справа.
Всеодно дякуємо за підтримку і намагання допомогти нам

До речі, ми продовжуємо (приблизно раз на тиждень перераховувати кредіти за глючні завдання у 2-му розмірі)
+
спробуємо призначити спеціальні (приємні) сюрпризи для тих,
кому вдасться вирішити цю проблему і навчити інших.
Шановний x3mEn вже в цьому списку.

Успіхів!

darek, conan, bellumm, La frite, Tamagoch, re_SET, x3mEn - thank you very much for your persistence!

Currently I am very busy and can not devote enough attention to this problem.
Actually - all tasks work well on my PCs are
and (abd it is somewhat sadly) I do not have any other version to address the problem on other Windows-machines.

If the tasks were not working (ie if no archive "for the task are everywhere) on x3mEn's Windows-machines,
it would have been quite different.

Anyway we thank all of you for your support and efforts to help us
By the way, we try to recalculate (about once a week) DOUBLE credits for finished and invalid tasks
+
we will try to award special (pleasant) surprises for those
who will manage to solve this problem and teach others.
Dear x3mEn already in this list.

Good luck!

Just wondering if you are still honouring the above, where you say that you try to recalculate (about once a week) DOUBLE credits for finished and invalid tasks ????

I have not seen any credits given for all my Windows failed work units, ever, dispite a lot of hours processing. They process correctly up to the point of being sent back to the project and can't be zipped correctly, so do I still get credit for this as you say ???

I have today also added another Zip programme to my Windows computers to see if the zipping will work, just waiting for a WU to finish.

All projects rely on the good will of individuals to offer their computing resources for these distributed computing projects.

When it seems like there is no interest from project staff to address project problems or our concerns then perhaps there should be no interest from us in the crunching community to support your project.

archeye*, Conan, Patrick Harnett*, skgiven, zombie67,

I have written an email to Yuriy but he seems not replying

I will try to contact him by phone or somehow else

Thank you for your support!

This is actually the only one "active" DC project from our country, but in Ukraine scientists do not get grants so everything is done on enthusiasm. Probably Yuriy is busy with other scientific things at this moment ...

Автор: Patrick Harnett* Mar 14 2013, 06:03

I must be a sucker for punishment - testing one more WU on each of seven different machines to see if they all error or if one works. If so, then I can try to work out what is different.

Hi, I got this error on my computer:
Could not open ZIP_local file.

http://dg.imp.kiev.ua/slinca/result.php?resultid=209718

Thanks

The same here. I decided to change the extention of the file out_data.zip to out_data.txt and was able to open that with wordpad!

It contained just a sentence, not a file as it should. The zip file is not a valid zip file, no zip-er can open a txt file.
I made a new out_data.zip, containg the out_dat.txt but after 28 hours was rewarded with a computation error.
The faulty zip had been re-created and could not be opened (of course)
