I do not know if anybody else is seeing the same thing that I am, but I am still getting this. I recently upgraded to 5.10.20 and I am not sure if the missing messages [bug?] is getting worse or what.

Is there a polling interface that pulls the logs from the stdoutdae?
Is it supposed to clear out the old data from the gui before it posts new entries into the gui?

There is a size limit to the stdoutdae.txt file, is there a size limit to how much data can be shown in the gui?

Every so often I reboot my system and have several programs set to start such as BOINC, Anti Virus, Spybot, etc..
I have a Cable connection and am always online, but when BOINC starts it always gives me an: unable to connect to localhost, message in the bottom corner. So I have to close BOINC and restart it. Then I often have to go to Projects or Transfers and have it Update or Retry.

I assume its just attempting to connect before my computer is finished doing whatever it does before connecting.

So is there anyway to slow down BOINCS connection?

They just added in a new message for this in 5.10.16. "High Priority", IIRC. I don't have a log example though.

Don't go look for it, there is none.
It shows as Running, high priority in the Tasks tab only.

[error] messages are displayed in red.

BOINC Manager version 5.8.16

A few minutes ago, a blue and white BOINC graphic started interfering with my desktop. It was tiling the screen. I'm not sure whether it was just the browser (IE) that was in trouble or everything, since I had a hard time getting control back. The BOINC Manager was running in background, and a Rosetta task was active.

A reboot has fixed it for now.

Do I just install over my existing version (5.10.7) or do I have to uninstall it first?

My experience with dial-up machines also goes like this: it's good thing to let know BOINC CC that internet connection is not available by setting 'Network connection: never'. While network connection is set to none, client won't try any connection at all (nicely preventing log from becoming full of error messages). It will try any pending connection immediately after 'network connection' becomes set to always (or automatic while criteria for enabled connection are met). That includes immediate start of uploading all pending results as well as connection to any project schedulers if needed.

If you want to crunch when logged off, install as a Windows Service.
No programs run when no one is logged in. Services do.

I have my general preferences set to "Do work only after computer is idle for 1 minutes "

5.8.16 is the best new version again, since 5.10.x showed problems.

5.10.8 apparently ignores negative LTD values.

What behavior are you seeing? I've got two projects that have quite large LTDs and they haven't fetched work for a day or so now.

I had:
E@H with LTD= -300K one WU in progress
chess960 with LTD= -1K (Chess has intermittent work)
uFluids with LTD= +54K (uFluids has no work available)
Seti had LTD=+234K

I watched E@H download a second WU which then put it in EDF mode.
Chess periodically downloads 10 WU keeping it negative.

I think it might be an interaction with Keep additional N days

Is anybody else seeing this on their machines? Please say that you are, I do not want to be the only one experiencing this.

Should I go ahead and grab 5.10.12 and see if an install will change anything?

Any ideas?

[quote]I try this 2 adresses, but it dosn't work the same error code. Can it be a problem with my network connection? How can I check it?

Open http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/ in your browser to check.

That's what I did yesterday, always do as secondary verification.... visit the forum. Still dead.... lost in space ;>)

What is your "Connect every X days" setting?

I had the KWSN 2.2B optimized apps running on 5.8.16.
Updated to 5.9.x no problem
Updated to 5.10.4. The task tab hung the app.

The only way to restore functionallity (any version) is uninstall, delete the directory and reinstall without the opt apps.

Don't try KWSN and 5.10.4

Sounds good.
Let us know if it happens again/repeatedly.

I have BOINC 5.9.12 installed with S@H=85% E@H=5% XtreamLab=1%
I have noticed 3 problems

1) by setting cc_config.xml debt_debug or cpu_sched_debug it appear that I'm getting rescheduled once per minute. global_prefs.xml: cpu_scheduling_period_minutes=60

2) XtreamLab had 4 WUs running all with the same deadline (EDF mode) RR cycleing once per minute.

3) After the Seti outage I DLed 50 WU but E@H continued processing for 14 hours before switching to Seti. STD is now seti=24H E@H=-23Hours

FWIW

4) task tab, sort by DL 10 AM comes after 4 PM
