| 1) Message boards : BOINC Manager : Ubuntu software center - BOINC manager not responding
Message 115954 Posted 23 days ago by kasdashdfjsah |
Tried installing the BOINC Manager through the ubuntu software center, but when it launched, it immediately said "BOINC Manager is not responding". I know you can download it from the BOINC website too, but if the software center version doesn't work, it should either be fixed or removed, so people don't waste their time getting something to work that doesn't work. |

Thst first is not on the project list, and account creation is disabled. Rosetta has unstable WU availability, and Moo wrapper doesn't work. If projects are not on the list, and don't work on the latest devices, Android OS versions and BOINC version, they're not attractive and practical to use, in my opinion, and I won't recommend other projects than the 3 I mentioned before, and this is simply feedback, I don't care if you do anything about this issue or not, I've done my part in providing the feedback, which will give new users the best possible BOIC experience, if hard, they won't bother. |

Can you please remove the projects from the project list in the Android app that don't work anymore or have been discountinued or whatever, so people don't waste their time trying to make something work that doesn't work anyway? From my testing, only WCG, asteroids, and einstein@home currently work, so please remove the other projects from the list. |

What's going on with Climatepredicion.net at the moment? No WU*s available, the last update was 6 months ago, and they haven't replied to my mail asking about the current status of the project? |

It happens daily, cause the about 1 million WU’s being sent out at a time are being completed so quickly, and then there’s a delay before the next million tasks are available, why you should always have 3-5 projects running concurrently, so you jever run out of WU’s. |

Suddenly got African Rainfall WU’s on my Apple Silicon Mac, along with the current Mapping cancer markers WU’s, despite the system requirements page saying, that no ARM tasks are available, probably cause they’re running under Rosetta 2, but still, most people don’t care about that, they just want working projects and WU’s on their Apple Silicon Mac: https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/help/topic.s?shortName=minimumreq |

Message 115574 Posted 9 Mar 2025 by kasdashdfjsah |
Yeah, but someone told me on their forum, that this requires a much older version of BOINC for some reason, which is very difficult, at least for me, to install, and doesn’t make sense to me either: https://www.primegrid.com/forum_thread.php?id=10735 |

In reply to kasdashdfjsah's message of 28 Feb 2025:Still no tasks, for over a week now on my M4 Mac mini Update: Now getting 10 concurrent WCG tasks again, but only from the Mapping cancer sub project, not the africa rainfall project and open pandemics covid-19 sub projects. Didn't get anything from these before, but still. |

I know, and I would, if only I could create an account, which is required to post anything on their forum, why I'm asking it here. |

Message 115280 Posted 25 Jan 2025 by kasdashdfjsah |
Same, and that's due to a lack of FP64 in the Apple Silicon hardware, which prevents other BOINC projects, and Folding at home for that matter, to utilize the GPU cores, so Apple needs to add this to the chips, and yes, I already provided this feedback to them, in multiple places. Would've loved it for the upcoming M4 Ultra Mac Studio, but that won't be the case, sadly. |

Can't create an account for Minecraft@Home, cause it says I gotta use an E-mail address with the format "name@xxx.yyy", whatever this means? Gaia@Home said the exact same thing. |
