21) Message boards : BOINC Manager : Boinc manager not reporting details anymore after masOS upgrade from 12 to 13 Message 111645 Posted 23 Apr 2023 by JeromeC	Thanks guys, there is obviously no urgency on this issue : boinc client is running fine and I do have BoincTasks Js to control the job on my mac - but I tend to prefer BM depending on what I am checking, and BTJs has a strange tendency to disconnect / reconnect to the client regularly... (but the easy multi-machine control + task history is a must from BT). I added a comment in the GitHub issue : the data usage tab and statistical tab have no data to display neither.

23) Message boards : BOINC Manager : Boinc manager not reporting details anymore after masOS upgrade from 12 to 13 Message 111626 Posted 21 Apr 2023 by JeromeC	Hiya I have suddenly decided to upgrade my Intel iMac (one of the latest late 2020) from macOS 12 to latest 13.3.1. All is working perfect, except that Boinc Manager is only listing the tasks and their status, but not anymore the run time / % / remaining / deadline... BoincTasks Js is doing the job, though. I reinstalled boinc (7.20.4) but same behavior. Any idea ? Thx

I want over to BoincStats and made the following notes 150 Retired projects 43 active projects (unaccountably includding collatz!) 24 projects that have at least 1 work unit of data. Out of those 24 projects with data only 9 have enough to be candidates for the next crunching contest. Out of those 9 there are 2 that currently have data and statistics collection problems and another 3 that have their servers hosted in Russia. Does anyone have or know of a chart of BOINC project growth / loss? I am guessing a bell curve would show SETI at the top. If BOINC was a company there would be shareholders looking for new management. My 0.02c Sorry if I offended anyone. Feel free to delete this post or move it somwhere where management wont see it. It's been many years that boinc's interest is fading out. Read this if you're not convinced. But as long as we are here, boinc is here :) And regarding the "3 projects hosted in Russia"... frankly... no comment.

26) Message boards : Questions and problems : Boinc manager display: uncorrect figures for advancement & elapsed time Message 110726 Posted 14 Dec 2022 by JeromeC	Well it seems PrimeGrid did the job : Intel ARC GPUs! Apple M1/M2 CPU and GPU!!! Effective immediately, PrimeGrid has apps for the following sub-projects for the new hardware: Native Apple M1/M2 ARM CPU apps are available on GFN-17 through GFN-22. Native M1/M2 GPU apps are available on GFN-16 through GFN-22 as well as DYFL. Intel ARC GPU apps are available on GFN-16 through GFN-22 as well as DYFL.

This is horrible to read. I assume it also applies to mac M2 ? and so any Mac in the future will never allow any GPGPU capacity ?

I just installed it because it appears as the official stable version on the boinc download page ! Thanks for the release management... I'm using an Intel iMac so I see how see how it goes.

31) Message boards : News : BOINC client 7.20.2 released Message 109711 Posted 27 Aug 2022 by JeromeC	The fault was Intego software but not NetBarrier, it was ContentBarrier against BoincMaster and/or BoincProject users. It's working now :)
32) Message boards : News : BOINC client 7.20.2 released Message 109682 Posted 21 Aug 2022 by JeromeC	Hi impossible to use it on my iMac 27p intel late 2020 : all network communications are failing, with any project + boinc main + project manager (SAM). I downgrade to 7.16.21 : running again Upgrade again to 7.20.2 : same issue Reboot, upgrade macOS to 12.5.1 (I had 12.3.x I think, the upgrade was pending), no luck. I use security software Intego, I deactivated NetBarrier to test, made sure boinc is enabled, etc, no luck. I have to use 7.16.21... (first time this happens with all previous boinc updates I've done) Any idea ?

35) Message boards : Questions and problems : Failure when receiving data from the peer (masOS) Message 106028 Posted 8 Nov 2021 by JeromeC	Hi I am reporting a project connexion problem on NFS and TN-Grid since end of August (and not end of September) that only affect macOS client and that is still going on for me. "Failure when receiving data from the peer" is the error on both projects. Old tasks done in July before I went on holidays are still there, impossible to send back or to get any new work. It started end of August. I was using latest mac version is 7.16.19 (early August release, only talking about translations issues). I had to downgrade recently to 7.16.11 (for other reason) but it is the same. Thanks for your inputs.

37) Message boards : News : Windows client 7.16.20 released Message 105970 Posted 4 Nov 2021 by JeromeC	Hi could this problem affect also macOS client ? Reporting a project connexion problem on NFS and TN-Grid since end of August (and not end of September) that only affect macOS client and that is still going on for me. Latest mac version is 7.16.19 (early August release, only talking about translations issues). Thanks for your inputs.
38) Message boards : Questions and problems : Replacement of Cord for Mac VirtualBox applications Message 103467 Posted 8 Mar 2021 by JeromeC	I had not noticed this until recently because the "defunct old iMac" I'm referring to has been working well during 10 years (crunching for boinc H24/D7), so the old Cord was still doing the job, despite all system upgrades. Thank you for making the subject visible again, I read the 2017 issue history with interest. Hopefully some solution can be implemented. At my end I could not manage to run that FreeRDP RDP client that I "apparently installed", I mean outside of boinc. I remain skeptical with the Homebrew installation output...

40) Message boards : Questions and problems : Replacement of Cord for Mac VirtualBox applications Message 103112 Posted 21 Feb 2021 by JeromeC	Hi all on my defunct old iMac I used to (happily) use Cord to display the console for VB applications. In my new iMac I realized that Cord was "terminated" and they suggest to use FreeRDP instead. I "think" I actually managed to install that FreeRDP with Homebrew, but boinc seems to have "hardcoded" the fact that it needed Cord when you try to display the console (clicking the console button will fail and display a error message about Cord missing). I apparently now have a (command line only ?) "xfreerdp" application installed, but I have no clue on how this could potentially replace Cord for boinc. Thanks for your help and suggestions.
