Hi

I have had an account at boinc since 2005. I was processing work units on my Ubuntu machine. This morning, The boinc was not assigned to a project and I cant seem to find my boinc account? I had over 1 million work units? Is that just gone? If I have to use this new account I will stop processing seti work units?

Thanks for any help?

BOINC is just a managing program, you don't need an account for it. You do need accounts for the projects you add, one account per project.

BOINC is fully independent from any of the projects you can add to it, including Seti@Home. The only common thing that they have is that they both run from the server co-location of the Berkeley University.

As to what happened on your machine with your BOINC, you're the best person to investigate as you have all the log files. Go to the BOINC data directory, that being either your home directory/BOINC for Berkeley's BOINC version, or var/lib/boinc-client/ for Ubuntu's repository's version and open stdoutdae.txt with a simple text editor.

You'll either be looking at the last lines of the log to see what happened, or the first, depending on how the log's built up.

You shouldn't need a new account for Seti, if it's a thing of simply re-adding the existing account, you best wait until Seti's done with their maintenance. Instead of them having done it on their normal Tuesday they moved it to today, so everything is down for the next several hours.
