[QUOTE=kladner;307773]Is it possible to have P95 launch without attempting to start processing?[/QUOTE]

Unfortunately, no. While such a command line option exists on *nix, it does not for Windows. (I just checked the source to verify this. Windows accepts the -a (ini file names), -t (torture test) and -w (working dir) options.) You might ask George to include such a switch in the next build. (Edit: While I was sourcing, an alternate solution was posted :smile:)

[QUOTE=flashjh;307770]I checked on a few of my P-1 submissions on James' site, the E value still wasn't there. I submitted one manually and then it showed up... don't know if the E value is working?[/QUOTE]

It should be -- it's being sent. But I just check several submissions over the night, and they didn't have the E value. I've instructed Spidy to re-submit to James all results which had an E value.

James, any ideas?

Jerry, please let us know if you see this again. And rather than submitting the result manually, please just let us know what the exponent(s) involved are.

Thanks sdbardwick and Dubslow for giving some thought to the matter. Much appreciated!

Ok, the first time I did a random sampling. Tonight I checked everything since the time you manually submitted (~13 Aug 12 / 1429z). Since your manual submission, my E values still don't show up. Also, the exponents with factors don't show b1/b2/e value.

I attached a txt file with all the P-1 exponents I've submitted since just before the time mentioned above. I still have the reuslts files, so I can submit manually, if you need me to.

Some bug reports :

In my assignement report, I see exponents assigned that are not in the worktodo files. For example, M57057041. In prime.log, looks like I got the exponent :

Followed by an error when updating completion dates :

[/CODE]

And that's the last I saw of it on my side, but it's still listed in the GPU272 assignments page. A number of these exponents are there assigned to Workstation rather than Workstation (1) as I'd expect.

Next up, I can get exponents on some but not all of my machines. "Laptop" in particular is not working at all. I see "GPU72_Proxy -- Need Program Options" followed by "Updating computer information on the server", but no actual GPU72 assignments in the logs. And doing a quick unreserve of a high LL or P-1 test gets me that same exponent back rather than a low one from GPU272. Since I get the GPU72 proxy response in some cases I think it's set up correctly (same as the machines which do work) so I'm not sure where to go from here.

Finally, on my other P-1 machine, I get a mix of GPU72 and Primenet P-1 assignments. Looks to be about 50-50 but I don't have exact numbers. I can send logs if you need them.

Sorry dump so much on you, but this has the potential to be a big time saver. Plus the nerd in me has the need to figure out what I've managed to break. Thanks in advance for the help.

Thank you for the very detailed bug report.

Unfortunately I've been a little busy the last few days on "other stuff", so haven't had a chance to drill down on this. But I keep logs of all proxy activity, so with what you've provided it should fairly easy to figure out what's going on. I'll try to take care of this today.

Thanks. I appreciate the hard work on what's really just a hobby for all of us.

Two of my assignments were completed earlier this month but they're still showing up on my assignments page:

[B][URL="http://www.mersenne.org/report_exponent/?exp_lo=58748471"][COLOR=#0066cc]58748471[/COLOR][/URL] & [URL="http://www.mersenne.org/report_exponent/?exp_lo=58750213"][COLOR=#0066cc]58750213[/COLOR][/URL][/B]

Edit: On the Assignments page, can you make the other columns sortable so it's easier to find these guys earlier? Thanks.

[QUOTE=flashjh;308002]Since your manual submission, my E values still don't show up. Also, the exponents with factors don't show b1/b2/e value.[/QUOTE]My first guess is that my primenet spider is noticing these results (without B1/B2/E data) and clobbering the good values already submitted by GPU72. That's an unsubstantiated guess, I haven't actually investigated yet. Would you mind emailing me the affected results.txt to remind me to look into it, please?

Email sent, thanks for the help.

[QUOTE=flashjh;308707]Email sent, thanks for the help.[/QUOTE]From what I can see, you've re-submitted these results so my site now shows the correct B1/B2/E values for those exponents. I took a look through the P-1 results parsing functions and it seems to have all the appropriate checks in place to not clobber B1/B2/E with empty values. If you notice that the problem is still happening, please let me know a specific exponent that's affected (and don't manually submit results.txt to overwrite the broken data).
