1) Message boards : Projects : News on Project Outages Message 114622 Posted 3 days ago by Dave	I just can't seem to get any tasks downloaded for some reason? Do you have virtual box installed? You really need to be looking at the individual project forums for answers on this.
2) Message boards : Projects : News on Project Outages Message 114616 Posted 5 days ago by Dave	Just tried Ramanujan machine. Added successfully at first attempt. Nothing downloaded on Linux but Windows installation in VB downloaded a task and ran it to completion. Not sure if there is a problem with Linux tasks or not. Message is just, "No tasks sent" rather than no tasks available. Edit:A peruse of their own fora tells me others are not getting Linux tasks either and a message has been sent to the scientists.
3) Message boards : BOINC Manager : Reporting while suspended? Message 114609 Posted 5 days ago by Dave	Computation being suspended should not stop completed tasks uploading. I am pretty sure I have uploaded tasks while suspended in the past.
4) Message boards : Projects : Anything and Everything to do with (WCG) World Community Grid Message 114607 Posted 6 days ago by Dave	It just keeps saying communication postponed 2 minutes every time I try to click the update button. And I've tried all 5 profile options: default, power saving, minimum, maximum, and custom, with the settings you suggsted, nothing happens. Took me several project updates after the obligatory waits each time before I got any tasks on a new client today. Only one I got work for was MCM.
5) Message boards : Questions and problems : All projects end up not requesting more work anymore Message 114573 Posted 11 days ago by Dave	A client restart does not seem to yield any change. I have no idea what to change nor where for that behaviour to stop. I have never used Science United. What do you see on the SU site where you choose which projects to run? This feels like an SU issue to me.
6) Message boards : The Lounge : Grumbles, Glory and All Your Off Topic Discussions Message 114569 Posted 12 days ago by Dave	Also missing out on winter fuel allowance. Glory: Changed electricity tariff and car charging at night is now 8.8p/KWH as is anything else running then.
7) Message boards : Projects : News on Project Outages Message 114566 Posted 13 days ago by Dave	In reply to kasdashdfjsah's message of 23 Sep 2024: Ok, thanks, then I'll write on the forums of each individual project with this issue instead. It would be nice if there were a table where you could look up the connection speeds of individual projects not that it would make much difference to my bored band. The only project I have ever had a connection to slower than my own broadband is WCG with ARP tasks after they moved.

10) Message boards : Questions and problems : BOINC desktop client feedback Message 114551 Posted 17 days ago by Dave	Personally, I think two uploads and two downloads is OK as the default. It would be nice to be able to change it from the manager rather than editing cc_config.html though. (My connection is more bored band than broad band. Even with a limit of 2 uploads and downloads at a time, the relatively large files from CPDN often take half an hour or longer to go through.)
11) Message boards : Projects : CPDN change of web address Message 114539 Posted 19 days ago by Dave	One user has managed to join in past 24 hours. A minor change since I last looked. Edit: Project reset using BOINC in VM gets message that project has no tasks available. Instance had no running tasks so nothing to lose.
12) Message boards : Projects : CPDN change of web address Message 114537 Posted 20 days ago by Dave	Just had this from Andy. To confirm: the cgi interface is now back up and running. My completed and error tasks are not reporting nor are my trickle ups going through yet. I now have backoff of 24 hours. I won't try again till tomorrow. Edit: and the page for my box shows it as last contacting the server on 13th Sept so it is not talking to the server even though zips are still going through to Korea.
13) Message boards : Projects : CPDN change of web address Message 114535 Posted 20 days ago by Dave	In reply to Richard Haselgrove's message of 16 Sep 2024: There will be a lot of backed-up trickles and task reports to be processed: I don't think the new trickle handling script has been given such a stress-test since it was installed (though to be fair, it did seem to handle that initial surge OK). Looks like you are right Richard. However things have started to move. ten users have reported completed tasks for the current batches since I looked earlier this morning when it was zero. If they were all going through at normal speed I think it would be a lot higher. Though it will be slowed down a bit for those not pressing the update button by the increased backoff time. Mine is currently about 7 hours.
14) Message boards : Projects : CPDN change of web address Message 114533 Posted 20 days ago by Dave	But don't all rush at once - the servers will have a big backlog to get through, and will be likely to respond slowly at first. There is very little data involved in reporting tasks and the trickle up messages that credit is based on. I doubt if the slowness will be comparable to when the servers taking the zips come back up after a problem. All the zips with the data for the scientists have been going through to Korea without issue. #toucheswood
15) Message boards : Projects : CPDN change of web address Message 114527 Posted 21 days ago by Dave	Starting a new thread rather than keeping going on the project outages. Currently, I am getting a forbidden message when trying to look at fora or my account. That is new in the past hour so clearly Andy is up early and working on it. Zips are still uploading but trickle up messages for credit are still trying to go tot he old address and so is task reporting.
16) Message boards : Projects : News on Project Outages Message 114525 Posted 21 days ago by Dave	Hi All, Yes apologies, this is very much work-in-progress. The transition is not complete yet. www.climateprediction.net goes to the new website (climateprediction.net is currently broken and will be addressed next week) www.cpdn.org goes to the new website main.cpdn.org now represents the main project. I have made a few changes and you should have full access to the forums now. Best wishes, Andy
17) Message boards : Projects : News on Project Outages Message 114524 Posted 21 days ago by Dave	My zips are still going through but as you say the trickle ups for credit are not. The lack of warning is my biggest gripe.
18) Message boards : Projects : News on Project Outages Message 114521 Posted 22 days ago by Dave	Glenn is going to raise it at the meeting on Monday. Looks like not a lot changing till then.
19) Message boards : Projects : News on Project Outages Message 114520 Posted 22 days ago by Dave	Not what I would have recommended for a Friday afternoon changeover... Not unusual for Andy to respond to emails over the weekend but my suspicion is that someone else has decided to press the big red button without telling him. I have sent an email on the moderators' list. I knew the change from climateprediction.net addresses to all cpdn.org ones was coming but had no idea when.
20) Message boards : Questions and problems : BOINC ownership or permissions are not set properly error Message 114512 Posted 26 days ago by Dave	In reply to SiGe's message of 10 Sep 2024: Hmm... I celebrated too early. Worked for some restart, but now stopped working again, don't know why. Tried also Dave's suggestion about adding my user to the group, but it doesn't solved either. Close but no cookie eh? Hopefully, there are enough clues there to enable someone who actually knows about Macs to sort this out. Edit: Is it possible to run with administrator privileges? Not a good practice in general but if BOINC is all you are using the machine for probably OK. Even if you don't want it for long term, it may give more information for someone who knows the OS.
