Message 111082 Posted 16 Feb 2023 by NG Ka Chun |
What should I do to fix the "Couldn't create host record in database" issue of the World Community Grid ? My GPUGRID just shows "Not requesting tasks: don't need" even I have no task in Boinc Manager, what should I do ? 16/2/2023 23:37:33 | | Starting BOINC client version 7.20.2 for windows_x86_64 16/2/2023 23:37:33 | | log flags: file_xfer, sched_ops, task 16/2/2023 23:37:33 | | Libraries: libcurl/7.84.0-DEV Schannel zlib/1.2.12 16/2/2023 23:37:33 | | Data directory: C:\ProgramData\BOINC 16/2/2023 23:37:33 | | 16/2/2023 23:37:33 | | CUDA: NVIDIA GPU 0: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (driver version 512.95, CUDA version 11.6, compute capability 8.6, 12288MB, 12288MB available, 12738 GFLOPS peak) 16/2/2023 23:37:33 | | OpenCL: NVIDIA GPU 0: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (driver version 512.95, device version OpenCL 3.0 CUDA, 12288MB, 12288MB available, 12738 GFLOPS peak) 16/2/2023 23:37:33 | | Windows processor group 0: 20 processors 16/2/2023 23:37:33 | | 16/2/2023 23:37:33 | | Processor: 20 GenuineIntel 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-12700F [Family 6 Model 151 Stepping 2] 16/2/2023 23:37:33 | | Processor features: fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss htt tm pni ssse3 fma cx16 sse4_1 sse4_2 movebe popcnt aes f16c rdrandsyscall nx lm avx avx2 tm2 pbe fsgsbase bmi1 smep bmi2 16/2/2023 23:37:33 | | OS: Microsoft Windows Vista: Home Premium x64 Edition, Service Pack 2, (06.00.6002.00) 16/2/2023 23:37:33 | | Memory: 15.76 GB physical, 18.14 GB virtual 16/2/2023 23:37:33 | | Disk: 952.93 GB total, 782.55 GB free 16/2/2023 23:37:33 | | Local time is UTC +8 hours 16/2/2023 23:37:33 | | No WSL found. 16/2/2023 23:37:33 | | VirtualBox version: 7.0.6 16/2/2023 23:37:33 | World Community Grid | General prefs: from World Community Grid (last modified 23-Aug-2017 06:15:47) 16/2/2023 23:37:33 | World Community Grid | Host location: none 16/2/2023 23:37:33 | World Community Grid | General prefs: using your defaults 16/2/2023 23:37:33 | | Reading preferences override file 16/2/2023 23:37:33 | | Preferences: 16/2/2023 23:37:33 | | max memory usage when active: 8069.72 MB 16/2/2023 23:37:33 | | max memory usage when idle: 14525.50 MB 16/2/2023 23:37:33 | | max disk usage: 50.00 GB 16/2/2023 23:37:33 | | max CPUs used: 16 16/2/2023 23:37:33 | | max download rate: 51200000 bytes/sec 16/2/2023 23:37:33 | | max upload rate: 51200000 bytes/sec 16/2/2023 23:37:33 | | (to change preferences, visit a project web site or select Preferences in the Manager) 16/2/2023 23:37:33 | | Setting up project and slot directories 16/2/2023 23:37:33 | | Checking active tasks 16/2/2023 23:37:33 | GPUGRID | URL https://www.gpugrid.net/; Computer ID 604308; resource share 100 16/2/2023 23:37:33 | GPUGRID | Not using NVIDIA GPU: project preferences 16/2/2023 23:37:33 | World Community Grid | URL http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/; Computer ID not assigned yet; resource share 100 16/2/2023 23:37:33 | | Setting up GUI RPC socket 16/2/2023 23:37:33 | | Warning: GUI RPC password is empty.

Can you start the client yourself by running boinc.exe? I know it is a pain but a lot less so than running the install program and selecting repair each time? Tried, when I open boinc.exe directly, it just open a DOS interface and show me something like the usual event log, but it cannot run my tasks: 16-Feb-2023 23:02:19 [---] Starting BOINC client version 7.20.2 for windows_x86_64 16-Feb-2023 23:02:19 [---] log flags: file_xfer, sched_ops, task 16-Feb-2023 23:02:19 [---] Libraries: libcurl/7.84.0-DEV Schannel zlib/1.2.12 16-Feb-2023 23:02:19 [---] Data directory: C:\ProgramData\BOINC 16-Feb-2023 23:02:19 [---] Running under account 吳宅 16-Feb-2023 23:02:19 [---] CUDA: NVIDIA GPU 0: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (driver version 512.95, CUDA version 11.6, compute capability 8.6, 12288MB, 12288MB available, 12738 GFLOPS peak) 16-Feb-2023 23:02:19 [---] OpenCL: NVIDIA GPU 0: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (driver version 512.95, device version OpenCL 3.0 CUDA, 12288MB, 12288MB available, 12738 GFLOPS peak) 16-Feb-2023 23:02:19 [---] Windows processor group 0: 20 processors 16-Feb-2023 23:02:19 [---] Host name: 吳宅 16-Feb-2023 23:02:19 [---] Processor: 20 GenuineIntel 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-12700F [Family 6 Model 151 Stepping 2] 16-Feb-2023 23:02:19 [---] Processor features: fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss htt tm pni ssse3 fma cx16 sse4_1 sse4_2 movebe popcnt aes f16c rdrandsyscall nx lm avx avx2 tm2 pbe fsgsbase bmi1 smep bmi2 16-Feb-2023 23:02:19 [---] OS: Microsoft Windows 11: Core x64 Edition, (10.00.22621.00) 16-Feb-2023 23:02:19 [---] Memory: 15.76 GB physical, 18.14 GB virtual 16-Feb-2023 23:02:19 [---] Disk: 952.93 GB total, 781.58 GB free 16-Feb-2023 23:02:19 [---] Local time is UTC +8 hours 16-Feb-2023 23:02:19 [---] No WSL found. 16-Feb-2023 23:02:19 [---] VirtualBox version: 7.0.6 16-Feb-2023 23:02:19 [World Community Grid] General prefs: from World Community Grid (last modified 23-Aug-2017 06:15:47) 16-Feb-2023 23:02:19 [World Community Grid] Host location: none 16-Feb-2023 23:02:19 [World Community Grid] General prefs: using your defaults 16-Feb-2023 23:02:19 [---] Reading preferences override file 16-Feb-2023 23:02:19 [---] Preferences: 16-Feb-2023 23:02:19 [---] max memory usage when active: 8069.72 MB 16-Feb-2023 23:02:19 [---] max memory usage when idle: 14525.50 MB 16-Feb-2023 23:02:19 [---] max disk usage: 50.00 GB 16-Feb-2023 23:02:19 [---] max CPUs used: 16 16-Feb-2023 23:02:19 [---] max download rate: 51200000 bytes/sec 16-Feb-2023 23:02:19 [---] max upload rate: 51200000 bytes/sec 16-Feb-2023 23:02:19 [---] (to change preferences, visit a project web site or select Preferences in the Manager) 16-Feb-2023 23:02:19 [---] Setting up project and slot directories 16-Feb-2023 23:02:19 [---] Checking active tasks 16-Feb-2023 23:02:19 [GPUGRID] URL https://www.gpugrid.net/; Computer ID 604308; resource share 100 16-Feb-2023 23:02:19 [GPUGRID] Not using NVIDIA GPU: project preferences 16-Feb-2023 23:02:19 [RNA World] URL http://www.rnaworld.de/rnaworld/; Computer ID not assigned yet; resource share 100 16-Feb-2023 23:02:19 [Rosetta@home] URL https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/; Computer ID 6239350; resource share 100 16-Feb-2023 23:02:19 [TN-Grid Platform] URL http://gene.disi.unitn.it/test/; Computer ID 84269; resource share 100 16-Feb-2023 23:02:19 [World Community Grid] URL http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/; Computer ID not assigned yet; resource share 100 16-Feb-2023 23:02:19 [---] Setting up GUI RPC socket 16-Feb-2023 23:02:19 [---] Warning: GUI RPC password is empty.

One thing to check. When in BOINC Manager, go to Options, Other options, and make sure "Run the client?" is checked. What should I do to fix the BOINC Manager, so that I can resume World Community Grid and GPUGRID ? |

I am a little confused. If the client isn't running, surely add projects option isn't available. Client isn't running, then run the installation program (7.20.2) again : choosing "Repair" not "Remove", then Boinc Manager can run again while my previous unfinished tasks still here. But once I restart the computer, I have to run the installation program (7.20.2) again.... |

Sounds as if your new computer had McAfee installed during it's build,either by intent by those that built it, or by accident while installing some other software. The first thing I would look at is the list of installed and active software and first disable then remove McAfee (which can be a grade one pain to do), and will probably have to be done as an administrator rather than ordinary user. I had removed McAfee and then install BOINC manager, it can run some project like TN-GRID Platform and SiDock@Home, but every time I restart my computer still face the "BOINC Manager is not able to start a BOINC client" problem, I need to run the BOINC installation program (Repair) again to run BOINC Manager. When I add World Community Grid / RNA World, no task is received and Event Log shows "Couldn't Create host record in database"; When I add GPUGRID, I received no task and "Not requesting tasks: don't need (CPU: ; NVIDIA GPU: )" appears in Event Log 15/2/2023 20:26:22 | World Community Grid | Sending scheduler request: To fetch work. 15/2/2023 20:26:22 | World Community Grid | Requesting new tasks for CPU and NVIDIA GPU 15/2/2023 20:26:24 | World Community Grid | Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks 15/2/2023 20:26:24 | World Community Grid | Couldn't create host record in database 15/2/2023 20:26:24 | World Community Grid | Project requested delay of 121 seconds 15/2/2023 20:48:19 | GPUGRID | Sending scheduler request: Requested by user. 15/2/2023 20:48:19 | GPUGRID | Not requesting tasks: don't need (CPU: ; NVIDIA GPU: ) 15/2/2023 20:48:20 | GPUGRID | Scheduler request completed 15/2/2023 20:48:20 | GPUGRID | Project requested delay of 31 seconds What should I do ? |

After installing BOINC Manager in my new HP computer and install BOINC Manager, the BOINC Manager just show "BOINC Manager is not able to start a BOINC client" once open, please give me advise to fix it. In "Control Panel > System and Security > Windows Defender Firewall" Page, it just shows "This setting is managed by manufacturer's McAfee Personal Firewall" and I cannot change any setting within this page. (I didn't install McAfee in my computer and use Avira instead) and my Windows firewall settings are greyed out. What should I do ?
