Re: [Condor-users] Windows 2000 / Visible Desktop

Just wondering what the schedule might be for 7.0.5? We're waiting for this fix.... 

Thanks.

Agreed. That would be great!

And wow, Ian, that's what we are doing as well!

We, at Altera, would definitely like to see this in 7.0.x -- we're
using
USE_VISIBLE_DESKTOP for our GUI regression testing flows and it works
great save for needing to reboot the machines periodically because of
this problem.

Thanks!

Hi Bob:

It is available in the latest developer release, but I can
push the changes over into the stable release as well, as it
seems like it would be and important improvement.  I will
look in to this further tomorrow.

Regards,

It is mentioned below that there is an upcoming fix to the

bug where

USE_VISIBLE_DESKTOP eventually runs out of ACE's. What is the
timeframe for this fix? It mentions the next release, but I

just tried

7.0.4 on Vista and get the same behavior. (Although for

Vista you need

to enable the "Interactive Services Detection" service in order to
gain access to the "visible desktop").

Thanks,

I am having problems with Windows 2000 Professional and the
"USE_VISIBLE_DESKTOP" option.  I have tried condor 6.8.8,

7.0.1 and

7.1.0 and they all behave the same.

On a freshly booted system, I will see the condor_starter process
and all sub processes use the Windows Station handle of

winsta0 and

the application is visible.  After a number of jobs, the

processes

will have a separate session handles like

"WindowsStation-XXX-XXX"

and I will received the error:

6/18 14:47:11 Create_Process: Unable to use visible desktop

I believe I have tracked down the problem to the
"setuserobjectsecurity"
system call which returns the ERROR_NOT_ENOUGH_QUOTA error code.
Please
see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/185292  It looks like

ACE's may

not be free'd at some point and I don't know how to fix

the problem.



Yes, we have been made aware of this bug and are working

on a fix for

the next release.  As you guessed, we are not properly

releasing old

sessions from the desktops list of permitted users.  We never
anticipated users running with the option turned on all

the time, it

was intended for debugging purposes, but it appears that more and
more people are using it in production.  Sorry for the

inconvenience.




Also, Condor 7.0.2 does not even start on windows 2000

pro.  I get

the following error:

6/17 09:44:45 ERROR "Unexpected performance counter size

for working

set: 4 (expected 8)" at line 2878 in file
..\src\condor_procapi\procapi.C


That's quite odd, is this still a fresh Win2K box? Does it

have all

the Service packs applied?  Have the performance counters been
disabled or Otherwise changed?

Regards,
-B

btw, on a personal note, what is my Government using

Condor for? (We

can take this part offline, since it's completely off

topic for the

list)
