[QUOTE=EdH;603638]It's been a long time since I ran factmsieve.py and much longer since I ran Windows. Can you try just the command for the Square Root phase in a terminal and get the factors?[/QUOTE]

It's not just on Windows. I got a new machine and installed Ubuntu, but I am getting the same error. For what Python version was this script made? It throws me that error with Python 2.7

What do the Msieve .log files say about the Square Root phase? I think the error shown is because the time couldn't be calculated, but is that because no factors have shown up or something else?

Brian Gladman would be the one to contact, but I don't know if he still looks at anything here.

I do have the factors. it is just that factmsieve/ecm.py/aliqueit don't retrieve them.

[QUOTE=firejuggler;603668]I do have the factors. it is just that factmsieve/ecm.py/aliqueit don't retrieve them.[/QUOTE]I will try later today to run some sessions with factmsieve.py to see if I can duplicate and track down what's going on. (It will give me a chance to see if my "How I. . ." is still valid.)

Update on terminations:

17^123
11^145

I'm going to have to really look into this, by first starting all over from scratch. This will be a bit later.

No worries. It take 2 min to get the factor out, add it to my elf file and restart aliqueit.

The best I've been able to come up with for my troubles with factmsieve.py, is that Msieve is failing to use test, which Aliqueit is trying to assign, as its work name. It's insisting on a worktodo.ini file that doesn't exist. I'm probably not going to pursue this much more, at least not for now.

went from 131 digits to 89. At this point, it was quick and easy.


edit : taking 55^85

Thanks for the updates.

I have added a block for terminations. Everyone please check and let me know of any credits I'm missing.
