1) Message boards : Questions and problems : Boinc for Mac starts automatically on every restart (Message 112202)

Hello,
On my Mac Studio, Boinc 7.2.22 starts automatically every time I restart the Mac. Boinc is not listed in the Mac's login objects and I don't want Boinc to start immediately every time. I want it to start when I want it to.
Where can I set Boinc not to start automatically after a restart of the Mac?

Hello,
Boinc 7.16.19 works stable. But it is, in my opinion, very slow.
At the moment, one Rosetta@home WU is active, and 3 report "waiting for memory". The others report "Displaced".
So my M1 MacMini 16 GB RAM is just computing with one processor on one task. The other 7 processors are bored.


Unfortunately I can't upload a picture, otherwise I would have a screenshot of the Boinc manager.

And please excuse my bad "English". In German I am (hopefully) much better.

It's a project preference, in this case a Seti project preference at https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/prefs.php?subset=project

Thanks a lot, I haven't found this page until now. So far I have only searched on the Boinc page. Routine-blinded? Well possible.

Hello,
at irregular intervals my MacPro hangs up. I suspect that it has a problem with the GPU calculation of SETI. Console reports a continuous loop in any case:
Nov 3 15:55:00 Hanss-Mac-Pro systemstats[53]: assertion failed: 17G8037: systemstats + 914800 [D1E75C38-62CE-3D77-9ED3-5F6D38EF0676]: 0x40
Nov 3 15:55:01 Hanss-Mac-Pro com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (com.apple.DumpGPURestart): Service only ran for 2 seconds. Pushing respawn out by 8 seconds.
Nov 3 15:55:11 Hanss-Mac-Pro com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (com.apple.DumpGPURestart): Service only ran for 1 seconds. Pushing respawn out by 9 seconds.
Nov 3 15:55:42 --- last message repeated 2 times ---
Nov 3 15:55:42 Hanss-Mac-Pro com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (com.apple.DumpGPURestart): Service only ran for 1 seconds. Pushing respawn out by 9 seconds.
And this after SETI wanted to start a GPU-calculation.

Question: How can I tell Boinc not to get and calculate GPU units? Unfortunately I can't find an option.
Computer: MacPro 4.1, flashed to 5.1 / 2 x 2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon / 24 GB RAM / ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB.
It greets from Switzerland
