sorry for being dense.

I could not find a file called hosts in the drivers sub directory.

You need to go one level further to etc sub-dir.

Your not dense, just frustrated and missing steps. Been there and done that.
We are here to help get you back online.

My BOINC 8.0.2 (x64) cannot UPload the 27 calculated and "ready to report" tasks for Rosetta Beta 6.06 .

The BOINC Message center shows this:
01.04.2025 14:02:13 | Rosetta@home | Scheduler request completed
01.04.2025 14:02:13 | Rosetta@home | Server error: feeder not running

Rosetta's DNS configuration is botched. The IPv6 address record (AAAA) is pointing to an malfunctioning server. You can disable IPv6 on your BOINC runner, or add domain-IP records in hosts file yourself:

#Rosetta@home
128.95.160.156 boinc-files.bakerlab.org
128.95.160.156 bwsrv1.bakerlab.org

These project issues and workarounds are generally discussed in Number Crunching section of this forum, make sure to check :)

Worked great once I figured out how to do it properly.
My only question is will we have to delete these lines at some time in the future if they fix the problem?

You beat me to that question!!!! Although they might be able to make it work with unmodified/ modified.

Many thanks, I realized something that is disturbing. It appears that the results have been uploaded, but no points awarded. Do they throw the results in the bit bucket? Will frozen tasks ever be awarded points? When Kembal took over on WCG I got pi**ed when I did over 2 years of crunching and did not get credit.

Your assuming the impossible. hahaha...who knows. We will find out when the next round of errors come along.

I see points for my tasks on their page, but BOINC does not reflect that in the graphs.
Maybe it is tied to the assimilation which has a backlog of over 3,000 tasks.

I'll have to ask over in number crunching.

I looked at the status of my tasks..... The ones that did not report (150) were declared: Timed out - no response .......

17 fricking Days!!!!! I am going to abort them and not crunch Rosetta until this is sorted out.

I just looked at your machines.
Only one has returned any tasks and they had all errored out before being uploaded.
But all the others haven't been returned yet.
First, don't abort them - having a "Timed Out" label doesn't mean they can't validate and credit (it might, but not automatically)

You need to ensure you've edited the host file on <each> PC today:

To edit the hosts file on each PC, follow these steps:

Open Notepad as Administrator:
Search for "Notepad" in the Windows search bar.
Instead of left-clicking it, right-click on Notepad and select "Run as administrator"
When the dialog box pops up select Yes

To open the Hosts File: In Notepad:
Go to File > Open.
Navigate to C//Windows/System32/drivers/etc which will appear empty
Change the file type filter from "Text Documents (*.txt)" to "All Files".
Select the "hosts" file and click "Open"

Edit the hosts File:
On a fresh line at the bottom, type

#Rosetta@home
128.95.160.156 boinc-files.bakerlab.org
128.95.160.156 bwsrv1.bakerlab.org

Save the file

That should be it.
No need to reboot.
Return to Boinc manager, select Rosetta and click the "Update" button.

That should upload everything on each PC immediately and allow all future completed tasks to upload straight away.
Only then can you know if things are working right or not - not by guessing or predicting.

Many thanks!

Same thing for me. I have 37 tasks 100% ready to report, but account here shows time out no response. :(
