1) Message boards : Questions and problems : Screen saver star globe is sporadic (Message 102490) Posted 8 Jan 2021 by Bobby Post: For the last 2 months now my screen saver has not been able to load the star globe graphics with the regularity I would expect from my screen saver settings. It will go away for a week at a time and come back for one day. Then it will go away for an undetermined amount of time and then it will come back for maybe 12 hours. I have checked with the boards on Einstein@Home and we cannot resolve this issue. When it happens the "show graphics" button on the tasks will be grayed out. I can load a run the star graphics program, and as I stated, it does come back once in a while. I prefer to see the star globe rather that the BOINC statistics, but since about mid November, I have not been able to consistently see the star globe. I have looked at all the settings and when it does come back it operates as per the settings I have. Any suggestions? Bobby

4) Message boards : Questions and problems : Stuck in gear (Message 93362) Posted 28 Oct 2019 by Bobby Post: I did as instructed. The computer is now set such that the stdoutdae.txt has been reset and the values in the registry are set to the default which is zero. I noticed that the gui_rpc_auth.cfg had been changed and the password did not match the authenticator line in account_einstein.phys.uwm.edu.xml. I don't know if that would have an effect or not, but I did change the gui_rpc_auth.cfg to the original configuration file when I set up the computer to run. I am assuming that this is the password and I have no idea how it got changed. I don't read hex so I'm not sure if this is my password or not. After all this I attempted to connect with BOINC manager again and got the same result, the password is not recognized. I am at a loss right now. Bobby

5) Message boards : Questions and problems : Stuck in gear (Message 93342) Posted 28 Oct 2019 by Bobby Post: I did as you instructed and renamed the gui_rpc_auth.cfg file to gui_rpc_auth.old and restarted BOINC manager. It did the same thing as before where it will connect for 10 seconds and then disconnect. I assume it is filling the stdoutdae.txt file up because it has doubled in size now from ~30Mb to 72Mb.

8) Message boards : Questions and problems : Stuck in gear (Message 93335) Posted 27 Oct 2019 by Bobby Post: I have been using the software since reinstalling on October 7 this year. Things have been going good except last night my Internet was knocked off line. When I got up this morning, I reset my router and the Internet was back on line. I restarted my computer. I went back to BOINC manager and my project as well as 4 task I had were gone. I attempted to get back on by loading a project, but the BOINC manager cannot stay on line. It connects and then after a few seconds disconnects. I am getting a message that I am using the wrong password. I can get onto Einstein@home and my account is still active. The BOINC manager seems to be stuck in a loop and the stdoutdae.txt, now >30Mb, shows the loop that it is stuck in. I can't seem to find where to enter the correct password for the BOINC manager. Below is a sample of the loop that the program is stuck in. 27-Oct-2019 12:08:17 [---] [gui_rpc] GUI RPC reply: '<boinc_gui_rpc_reply> <handle_get_screensaver_tasks> <suspend_reason>0</suspend_reason> <result> <name>h1_0412.75_O2C02C' 27-Oct-2019 12:08:18 [---] [suspend] net_susp: no; file_xfer_susp: no; reason: unknown reason 27-Oct-2019 12:08:18 [Einstein@Home] [heartbeat] Heartbeat sent to task h1_0412.75_O2C02Cl1In0__O2MD1G2_G34731_412.90Hz_24_1 27-Oct-2019 12:08:18 [---] [poll] CLIENT_STATE::do_something(): End poll: 0 tasks active 27-Oct-2019 12:08:18 [---] [gui_rpc] GUI RPC Command = '<boinc_gui_rpc_request> <get_screensaver_tasks/> </boinc_gui_rpc_request> ' 27-Oct-2019 12:08:18 [---] [gui_rpc] GUI RPC reply: '<boinc_gui_rpc_reply> <handle_get_screensaver_tasks> <suspend_reason>0</suspend_reason> <result> Please Help
