Hiya Thanks for posting the "fixed" file. I replaced my ca-bundle.crt file with the file on Google Drive and it works. regards Tim Founder, UK BOINC Team |

I can load and edit the file, but cannot save it, it says it needs admin priv. I AM the admin. Wave upon wave of demented avengers march cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream. |

Well, someone will solve the problem after the weekend. Let us give them time. |

Agreed. Deadlines are still days away. Wave upon wave of demented avengers march cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream. |

I posted to the ticket again, asking if they can give an ETA. See #4530 if people want to urge there. |

I can load and edit the file, but cannot save it, it says it needs admin priv. I AM the admin.Right-click on your editor, and choose 'Run as administrator'. I'm in the same position as you. I'm an administrator, but not the administrator. Alternative solution: move the file to a non-protected location before attempting to edit it. |

Can someone be more direct here, is this something that needs to be fixed on the BOINC Server side (at the project)? or at the client side software packages (at the host)? or something that requires a new BOINC software update (the client)? |

The full solution would be a release of an updated client - which is long overdue, anyway. Project server administrators may be able to take alleviating action, but that would be piecemeal, and not every project may have the necessary skills. The BOINC server has no role to play. I have a strongly-worded email in draft, which I intend to post 24 hours after this thread was opened - i.e. in about five minutes from now - unless something else happens first. Sent. |

looks like for my upload issues seen at Universe@home on Linux Ubuntu 20.04.3, simply running the updates seems to have fixed it, one of the updates was the ca certificate. uploads now processing again. |

It went to boinc_admin@googlegroups.com - I'd have thought you could get into that.I have a strongly-worded email in draft, which I intend to post 24 hours after this thread was opened - i.e. in about five minutes from now - unless something else happens first.Too bad it didn't go to any list I seem to follow. Mind sending me a copy? Two replies so far - Vitalii repeating what I just said, and Matt Blumberg saying that projects could sort it out for themselves. Neither answered the main question - "Where's Wally?" I'll send you the thread so far. |

So far, we've been treating it as a "Windows only" problem, but if Linux machines haven't been updated for a while, it might affect them too. I have two machines with CA updates waiting, and GPUGrid tasks around 80%. I'll wait till they finish, and see what happens. At least, Linux updates can be done at home, without needing a new client from Berkeley. Unless, that is, you're a corporate Linux user, with a system locked up by central IT admin tighter than a duck's arse. |

Hello Richard, Thanks a lot. It works. Your file downloaded, replaced (with secure copy of original in case of), not restart needed, and.....working ! It is already the second time such problem occurs. The latest was in 2018. I think some project admin not follow theire project. Have a nice day, evening, morninig,..... depending when you will read. Once again, thank you |

According to this article quite a few big name websites also suffered outages on the LETS ENCRYPT certificate expiration. |

Just wanted to inform everyone that I checked my certificate, it expires in 2028, and things are still snafu after updating my computer and restarting. Hopefully, they'll accept late results at these various projects... |

I have two machines with CA updates waiting, and GPUGrid tasks around 80%. I'll wait till they finish, and see what happens.My Linux machines have been making their hourly checkin to GPUGrid without problems, so the CA updates are irrelevant to this discussion. Linux (Mint) was ahead of the game at the last update. |

>>> Right-click on your editor, and choose 'Run as administrator'. I edited and saved it from Visual Studio as administrator, saved and jobs uploading and reporting fine. Cheers Richard. Wave upon wave of demented avengers march cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream. |

A volunteer developer is working on creating an emergency release (take a bow, Vitalii). The new release will contain a fresh certificate bundle, sourced from a genuine and reliable public source: https://curl.se/docs/caextract.html You will need to rename cacert.pem to ca-bundle.crt, but it works with some of the projects that were having problems on Thursday (I haven't checked them all). If you feel nervous about downloading amateur hacks like mine, feel free to download from there instead. |
