Hello, I just installed BOINC version 7.4.42 on a fresh, new installation of Yosemite 10.10.2 on a Late 2013 iMac. When booting in Verbose Mode, I get this error message at the end of the boot process, which repeats itself many times: BUG in process suhelperd [202]: over-released legacy external boot assertions (1 total, 1 external, 0 legacy external). Traces of the error message stay on the screen even after the boot process completes and I log in with the admin user account. If I completely uninstall BOINC, this error message goes away and the boot process proceeds normally. Looking for a stable BOINC release for Yosemite. BOINC 7.2.42 installed hangs a Yosemite boot. Any other options? Cheryl |

I had an answer back from the developer. He told me that this is something that Yosemite does, not BOINC. When you search for the error in a search engine -- and by the way, it's over-released legacy external boost assertions -- there are hundreds of people who have this problem. Nowhere a definitive answer as how to solve this. It does appear to be a problem with OS X 10.10 only so far though. The developer continues to say As long as the Mac and BOINC are running normally, I would say ignore it. But if it bothers you much, you could try removing the login startup item for BOINCManager (under System Preferences Users & Groups) and launch BOINCManager manually after login. If you still gets the message after that, then we don't see any way that BOINC could be involved during the boot process. |

Jord, Thanks for the quick response from both you and the developer. I'll try removing it from Login Items and see what happens. Cheryl |

Hi Cheryl. I ran some tests with OS 10.10.2, both with BOINC 7.4.42 installed and with it uninstalled. In both cases, I saw a huge number of BUG in process suhelperd [xxx]: over-released legacy external boot assertions (1 total, 1 external, 0 legacy external).message, and in both cases my Mac booted up correctly. With BOINC installed, it started up and ran as expected (though I find Yosemite extremely slow.) In addition to removing the Login item, the only other thing I can think of is that you may have a corrupted download of BOINC, so you may want to download it again. Other than that, i don't know what to suggest. You are the only person who has reported this problem to us. Cheers, --Charlie Charlie Fenton BOINC / SETI@home Macintosh & Windows Programmer |

Hi Just fyi this version is not running well with Windows 10. I thought someone should know. It is quite a verbose error. Peter |

Could you be more specific? I have been running it on Windows 10 for months, without problem. |

Hi, It is possible we are on different builds. I am setting things up the way I would in win 7. I will try to attach a screen shot. I assigned a project. The laptop I put it on could possibly be a little twitchy. I haven't ruled that out. It is a visual fortran runtime error. I have not yet begun to play with it much. hadcm3s_um_....... is having a lot of errors. I will play with it. It helps that you have got it working. For that, thanks. Peter[/code] |

There are many BOINC projects. You should be more specific. Anyway, I think I found a little info about the problem you are having. It looks to be a problem specific to the climateprediction.net project. There is an ongoing thread about it here, which you should probably participate in. They offer a workaround suggestion to disable that application type in your web prefs. http://climateapps2.oerc.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/forum_thread.php?id=7875 So far as I know, this is not a BOINC issue. Instead, it's an application issue for that project to sort out. Also, I'm attached to that project (and 30 others), and haven't had the issue yet, but I have had several types of errors with that project; it is one of the more problematic projects, in my opinion.

Well Jacob your instincts were good. It is the climate project I am running. I will pursue that and you have been very helpful. Thank you Peter |
