• First commit requiring build in a month had same problem of getting stuck on "archiving artifacts". Stopped and restarted build manually from Jenkins and new failure: Slave not starting
  • Jenkins would log into VM and sart slave but then "waiting for Phase 2" retries timed out (max of 11 it seems)
  • rebooted VM machine did not fix problem
  • Looking at event logs a warning was being raised regularly on starting a child java process but could not tell what the problem was
  • Looking at loaded services slave was loaded but no running. started it but it stopped immediately
  • started the slave manually from command line. It started but then windows firewall popped up that it was blocking something - clicked unblock and then everything ran
  • after completing the build I rebooted the machine for good measure.

• Ongoing problem with windows builds via jenkins getting stuck on "archiving artifacts"
  • tried to update slave-agent.jnlp and that didn't work
  • renamed C:\Jenkins to C:\jenkins-old
  • deleted slave from jenkins master
  • re-installed java on slave
  • recreated slave with new name on master
  • re-installed slave-agent.jnlp
  • re-connected build jobs to new slave
  • ran builds with success.
  • Hope that updating to latest slave agent will fix problem with stuck windows builds. Needs monitoring

• Note that danse.chem seems to have a clock that is running fast and ntpd is not updating it. Needs looking at see ticket #274

• Updated danse and danse2 (apt-get update/upgrade)

2014-09-27

• Problem with ssh to danse machines after reboot following updates.
  • For danse.chem seems to have been a problem with fstab (AJJ fat fingers most likely cause) which prevented the reboot after updates.
  • Unable to ssh to danse2.chem even before update
  • Bill Gurley rebooted machines on 2014-09-29 and solved problem.

2014-09-09

• Installed bumps on danse and danse2 to fix Ubuntu builds
• Could not install on WinXP vm due to compiler issues.

2014-08-27

• Problems with the windows build not running from jenkins
  • corrected time on danse.chem and this seems to have fixed the failure of the build to start.
  • The time servers used on ubuntu 10 (danse.chem) seem to no longer exist. Updated ntp.conf to use the same as ubuntu 12 (danse2.chem)
  • Build now working again

• updated danse2.chem (apt-get update/upgrade)
• updated danse.chem (apt-get update/upgrade)
