Questions and problems :
maximize task throughput without cpu over temp
(Message 114362)
Posted 7 hours ago by Bryn Mawr Post: I am using Windows 11 and have experimented with using tthrottle on my old machine. Never could get the results I was expecting, do you throttle the boinc process or each task process? Thank you for responding so quickly I will try your cpu percentage recommendation to see if that helps. I run exclusively on Linux, the tthrottle suggestion was purely on the back of running BoincTasks rather than from personal experience. |

maximize task throughput without cpu over temp
(Message 114355)
Posted 13 hours ago by Bryn Mawr Post: Far better to stick with %CPUs (say 40% rather then your current 90%) than use %time / CPU which can stress the processor. It sounds like you are using Windows, have you considered using tthrottle to force a lower temperature limit? |

Where did my account go to????
(Message 114074)
Posted 27 May 2024 by Bryn Mawr Post: I meant this web site did not find my account not SETI. I was forced to create a new account on this web site in order to post here. Looking back at the original post I did not make that very clear sorry. This site is not a project site, it covers generic queries about the software. Having to change you account here will, therefore, not affect the credits generated by the projects. Have you tried logging into one of the accumulation sites such as BoincStats to see what they have on record? |

Posted 22 May 2024 by Bryn Mawr Post: Be sure that the task manager is showing you all tasks and not just the tasks for your user. It’s very often the background system tasks that steal your resources - windows updates, file indexer, McAfee, etc. |

Questions and problems :
boinc manager not showing statistics as a time line; only data as a single day point shown
(Message 113702)
Posted 29 Feb 2024 by Bryn Mawr Post: You deleted the history held within Boinc Manager when you detached from the project and you’re not going to get it back unless you have a backup from before that point. It will build up again over the next ?30? days, if you need the data for reference purposes and you allowed export then it will still be in BoincStats or the like. If new data points are not being added within Boinc Manager then, as Dave says, it is likely that you have not completed any new tasks successfully. |

No BOINC screen saver

Posted 22 Feb 2024 by Bryn Mawr Post: I have had no reply. I want the screen save to work. What can I do? I am on Win 11 23H2. Is that a problem? No reply because I have absolutely no idea - I’ve never bothered with the screensaver as I see no point in it. |

I’m running Ubuntu 22.04 with Gianfranco’s version 7.20.5 and have had zero problems - certainly not “hopelessly broken”. |

Questions and problems :
Can I recover statistics from "removed" projects
(Message 113582)
Posted 11 Feb 2024 by Bryn Mawr Post: I "removed" a bunch of old projects I was not running any more just for aesthetics. Didn't realize the statistics would also be removed. If you reattach to the projects you should get the credits back. To find the names in the backups go to the projects directory and the sub-directories will list then. For Linux the projects directory is either in /var/lib/boinc or /etc/boinc - no idea for Windows. |

(Message 113372)
Posted 14 Jan 2024 by Bryn Mawr Post: If you go into options and change one of the log reporting flags then it will create a config file for you. I generally turn sched_ops on as the info is useful but not too many lines. |

when adding a second machine/client , can I just copy the project config files from the first client
(Message 113268)
Posted 13 Dec 2023 by Bryn Mawr Post: Hi, I have one machine running BOINC participating in several projects. Works fine. Simple Q but I couldn't exactly find the answer. The main two are cc_config.xml and app_config.xml in the project directory. The app file will not exist if you’ve not created it and the cc file won’t exist if you’ve not set non-default settings. |

(Message 113128)
Posted 17 Nov 2023 by Bryn Mawr Post: I am attached to seven projects: Then how come the level was about 280 before the start of the industrial revolution? Appears to have been plenty of life about then, enough to support an agricultural society. An approximate 40% increase in the CO2 level in the past 75 years is not natural - it’s the rate of change, not the absolute level, that will kill us. |
