I already removed them from BAM but they are still on my projects BOINC manager I can suspend projects but the remove tab is not available.

You'll have to wait until your hosts have contacted BAM! before the projects are removed from them too.

2) Message boards : Web interfaces : Where would I find files for parsing stats? (Message 52464)
Posted 9 Feb 2014 by Profile Gundolf Jahn
Post:
How do other stat sites gather information on users, then? If the user IDs vary between projects, how does boincstats know that user x has starts from projects a, b, and c?

That's where the CPID (Cross Project IDentificator) comes into play. For this to function correctly, users have to connect all their projects to one computer (simply said). There are some explanations in the BOINCstats FAQs.

Although even boincstats seems to be imperfect as well. I've got four duplicates of myself showing different projects im in.

That's not BOINCstats's fault but the problem lies within the CPID system itself.

Sorry Gundolf - Linux doesn't have the same installer screens as the Windows version.

Yeah, my fault; didn't read the OP until the end

Post:
You can leave the BOINC program directory on the SSD and place the BOINC data directory on your HDD. However, that's no configuration item but you'll have to uninstall BOINC, move (copy) the data directory to the desired path and reinstall BOINC pointing the installer at the new location via the admin option (third screen?).

6) Message boards : GPUs : Onboard ATI GPU visible, not working (Message 51973)
Posted 11 Jan 2014 by Profile Gundolf Jahn
Post:
If your GPU is detected by BOINC but not used, you need to tell BOINC to use all GPUs. That's done by creating a cc_config.xml file in your BOINC data directory and inserting the <use_all_gpus> option. How to do that is described in the BOINC wiki: Client configuration.

9) Message boards : BOINC client : Does BOINC check the remote manager at startup? (Message 51711)
Posted 12 Dec 2013 by Profile Gundolf Jahn
Post:
Maybe this feature is only in BM and I am not running BM.

I can't say anything about your problem with BAM!, but I'm pretty sure that (a missing) BM is not the problem. It's just a GUI; all checking/scheduling etc. is done by the client not the manager.

12) Message boards : Questions and problems : Linux screen saver (Message 51588)
Posted 28 Nov 2013 by Profile Gundolf Jahn
Post:
I would still greatly appreciate any help I can get to successfully install the BOINC Screen Saver.

Are you speaking about the BOINC screensaver only? Because I suspect that you want to see the SETI@home screensaver (which is called by the BOINC one). However, I'm not sure that the S@H applications for linux include a graphics application at all. So, that would leave you with the BOINC screensaver only, which only shows statistics on the progress of the running tasks(s).

Anything else I should be looking for???

What's your preference setting for
Suspend work when non-BOINC CPU usage is above   25 %
0 means no restriction
Enforced by version 6.10.30+

Did you try 100% (or 0, which has the same effect)?

15) Message boards : BOINC Manager : Communication Deffered (Message 51474)
Posted 23 Nov 2013 by Profile Gundolf Jahn
Post:
What am I supposed to do?

At least you should tell as why the communication is deferred. We need an error or status message (BOINC manager advanced view), since you are giving only the result, not the reason.

Furthermore, to help us helping you, read this link and give the requested information.

Posted 12 Nov 2013 by Profile Gundolf Jahn
Post:
Seemingly, you are using an account manager like BAM! or GridRepublic.

You can either remove the project using the account manager or stop using it and then remove it via the reenabled Remove button.

Post:
Is that right?

No, it's not (if you are speaking of tasks/workunits;-)!

Only AstroPulse tasks are split intermittently (a few days a week) and if you still are waiting for version 6 multibeam tasks, you'll have to switch over to version 7 (SETI, not BOINC).

Do I just leave the program open? Can I quit Boinc?!

You may quit the BOINC manager, but make sure (via exit options) that the BOINC client and thus the science applications stay running.
