Is something wrong with my VPSs or YABS/Geekbench?

ahsonahson Member
in General

I have tried on two VPS for multiple times. Been doing for the whole day but I get this error:

Geekbench 6 test failed. Run manually to determine cause.

It used to run fine on both of them earlier.

Is it just me or others also have this issue?

    Geekbench gives error 35 on everything; their website is overloaded AF so I guess that is related.

    I am not that good with this stuff so basically what you are saying is, the test itself runs fine and it throws error while uploading the results on site?

    I have tried the manual method also but it also gives error. And I've been doing this while day.

    Yup, exactly what I am saying :)

    Geekbench 5 works but Geekbench 6 keeps failing on multiple VPS's.

  • ahsonahson Member

    Alright. Thanks for clarifying, I thought it was something on my end.

  • FalzoFalzo Member

    Add some swap, run again, fixed.

  • dosaidosai Member

    Add at least 2GB swap, it will work.

  • cybertechcybertech Member

    yes

    Even with bero host, same issue.
    i think some new update of gb6 and unupdated code of yabs is causing this issue

    Don't think its a YABS issue, I ran multiple geekbench versions (including the newest) manually and nothing worked

    It also failed on a server with good connection and allocated 8GB of swap...

    Same with oracle chicken where it used to work before

    I always run yabs with -b so no, just no to that one :D

    This has nothing to do with swap

    It's an issue on Geekbench's side, there was a thread about it already: https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/4779147

    I first noticed the issue on a dedicated server (completely plain OS, no customisations made) in Los Angeles with more than enough resources all round. Tried again on a VPS in a different location, same issue. Then I tried both again a few minutes later, and both worked fine. It has been intermittent the last few days.

    This is almost always insufficient memory. Add a swapfile. Or alternatively... run it manually to determine the cause.

    I've tried like 5 machines over 3 days. My luck lmao.

    Same issue here today. It worked few days back.

    I just sent an email to Primate Labs to let them know.

    Why

    Geekbench 6 keeps failing at the end when it tries to upload the results to Geekbench Browser:

    Uploading results to the Geekbench Browser. This could take a minute or two 
depending on the speed of your internet connection.

 unknown error (internal code 35)

    They said there is an issue with the connection to Geekbench Browser but it's fixed in GB6 6.7.1. I tried it and it does work:

    Looks like they've routed the browser results page behind a Cloudflare challenge. So yabs.sh is unable to get the score values.

    Wonder if anyone will come up with a workaround for this.

    Or will yabs.sh switch to something else to measure CPU?

    I found the same thing. There's no easy way around Cloudflare so will probably have to switch to something else.

  • spareksparek Member

    Which will suck, because all of the old scores were based on Geekbench and now you'll be comparing apples to oranges.

    Meh, relying on a proprietary, hostile benchmark would never work in the long term

    I dont even know why geekbench charges money to run a couple of scripts, its not that complicated

    sysbench and openbenchmarking is much better IMO. open source utilities, and quite consistent as well. could even be much more comprehensive.

    We'll see what we can do to support running Geekbench under YABS. I don't like hosting everything behind Cloudflare, but right now it's necessary due to botnets trying to scrape the site and taking it offline in the process.

    You don't actually need Geekbench to upload the results to see the score though.

    It's kind of the reason to upgrade to Geekbench Pro...

  • lovelyserverlovelyserver Member

    Masonr has updated the YABS script 3 hours ago

    It is functional, we can get Geekbench 6 result, but invisible as a bug

    Geekbench 6 Benchmark Test:
---------------------------------
Test            | Value                         
                |                               
Single Core     |                               
Multi Core      |                               
Full Test       | https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/17815680

    Anyway, going to the link, we can see the single and multi scores

    Maybe we just have to add them manually, from the geekbench page.

    But, the good news, it is working, it is functional.

    (I've seen that all the versions 4, 5, 6 are getting invisible values, at least for what i've ran)
