[Condor-users] Condor with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

[Kaj Wiik <kaj.wiik@xxxxxx>]

Hi!

I have been struggling for a couple of days to get Condor working in a
set of basic Ubuntu 10.04 workstations (no firewall, all are in same
subnet, no shared disk that is used). I used the packages from
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/debian/ (both 7.4 and 7.5). First
unexpected problem was missing of '/var/run/condor' which had to be
created by hand...

I eventually got the jobs running but it takes a very very long time
because they constantly get evicted from idle slots! I am using the
fibonacci example as a test case in the standard universe.

004 (018.022.000) 01/08 12:07:25 Job was evicted.
        (0) Job was not checkpointed.
                Usr 0 00:00:00, Sys 0 00:00:00  -  Run Remote Usage
                Usr 0 00:00:00, Sys 0 00:00:00  -  Run Local Usage
        313  -  Run Bytes Sent By Job
        16539839  -  Run Bytes Received By Job
...
001 (018.022.000) 01/08 12:07:46 Job executing on host: <xxxxxxxxxxxxx:9628>
...
007 (018.022.000) 01/08 12:07:46 Shadow exception!
        create_tcp_port(): bind() failed: 98(Address already in use)
        153  -  Run Bytes Sent By Job
        16539799  -  Run Bytes Received By Job

I am a bit tired in trying to continue along this road as I read
reports that Condor is working fine when installed from the tar.gz.
So, my question is: has anyone got Condor working in Ubuntu using the
cs.wisc.edu Debian packages? If so, what did you do?

Best regards,
