PrimeNet error 7: Invalid parameter

Gerard · 2022-06-16, 19:31

For the past several days, my log files are showing this error message:

Comm thread Jun 16 15:12] Updating computer information on the server
Comm thread Jun 16 15:12] PrimeNet error 7: Invalid parameter
Comm thread Jun 16 15:12] parameter ss: Invalid int value/precision ''
Comm thread Jun 16 15:12] Visit http://mersenneforum.org for help.

I have no idea what is wrong or what I am supposed to do to correct it.

On which system is this? (Linux/Windows/Mac/etc.)
Could you enable PrimeNet debug mode and try again?

Did you run a benchmark several days ago?

You may need to delete prime.spl and take the contents of results.json.txt and submit them manually through the Manual Results web page --- but first lets try and diagnose whats going on. The debug=1 setting in the primenet section of prime.txt is a good idea. You should get more info output to prime.log

-I am having the same error.
-running p95v307b9.FreeBSD11-64 in a TrueNAS 13.1 jail.
-used 'pkg install mprime' to install in jail.
-deleted prime.spl, no effect.

my prime.log file is attached.

Is this an mprime you built from sources?

bplenhart · 2022-08-03, 12:10

No, I did not build it.
Stumbled across a link in TrueNAS documentation on installing software into FreeBSD jails.

https://www.truenas.com/docs/core/co...gjailsoftware/

The site listed was FreshPorts.org. Went to the site and searched for mprime. URL attached.

https://www.freshports.org/search.ph...aseinsensitive

gives details on an install package for mprime 30.7b9

I do not know if that mprime is different than the mprime here: https://www.mersenne.org/download/
Can you try the official version?

-started over with new jail.
-downloaded mprime from gimps site.
-extracted into folder, would not run do to missing dependencies.
-determined needed to install curl and gmp packages.
-pkg install curl pkg install gmp

-mprime will now launch and communicate with PrimeNet server running as root.

-that other package is defective.

thanks for the direction/suggestions.
