New version for Mac ignores preferences

Posted 2 Feb 2007 by rbanzai Post: Please exit BOINC. Nicely done! The profile is called "work" so I followed your instructions and set the venue to work. I checked the messages and it now says: Fri Feb 2 13:12:11 2007||Host location: work Fri Feb 2 13:12:11 2007||General prefs: using separate prefs for work ... and it's paused because I am active. Thank you! |

Posted 2 Feb 2007 by rbanzai Post: Can you exit BOINC, then restart it and post the messages from Boinc Manager's messages tab? Here are the startup messages: Fri Feb 2 12:26:01 2007||Starting BOINC client version 5.8.8 for powerpc-apple-darwin Fri Feb 2 12:26:01 2007||log flags: task, file_xfer, sched_ops Fri Feb 2 12:26:01 2007||Libraries: libcurl/7.15.5 OpenSSL/0.9.7i zlib/1.2.3 Fri Feb 2 12:26:01 2007||Data directory: /Library/Application Support/BOINC Data Fri Feb 2 12:26:01 2007||Processor: 1 Power Macintosh Power Macintosh [Power Macintosh Model PowerMac6,3] [AltiVec] Fri Feb 2 12:26:01 2007||Memory: 768.00 MB physical, 30.56 GB virtual Fri Feb 2 12:26:01 2007||Disk: 74.41 GB total, 30.32 GB free Fri Feb 2 12:26:01 2007|World Community Grid|URL: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/; Computer ID: 110045; location: (none); project prefs: default Fri Feb 2 12:26:01 2007||General prefs: from World Community Grid (last modified 2007-01-30 12:25:54) Fri Feb 2 12:26:01 2007||Host location: none Fri Feb 2 12:26:01 2007||General prefs: using your defaults Fri Feb 2 12:26:01 2007|World Community Grid|Restarting task faah1278_d198n327_x2BPZ_00_0 using faah version 510 I am only doing one project. I am not maintaining prefs files individually, I'm using profiles on the WCG website which was working on the older version. Reading local prefs did not change anything, and the override does not work. |

Posted 2 Feb 2007 by rbanzai Post: I have a profile set up that restricts any activity while the computer is in use, but allows up to 90% CPU after 2 minutes of non-usage. I just upgraded to the latest version and it appears to not only ignore those preferences from the world community grid website, it ignores a local override of the prefs. So it's basically doing its own thing, running around 75% CPU all the time. In the messages I can see that it is either using my "general" prefs, or the override, but that doesn't actually affect how it runs, it just ignores them. How can I tame this new version and make it respect the preferences? |
