6) Message boards : BOINC client : Why is uninstalling so *impossible* ? (Message 42985)

BOINCBurger,

by the way, if you need to uninstall BOINC right now and can't wait for the update, i suggest using Revo uninstaller, there is a free version on there website, just google it. Basicly what Revo uninstaller does is it deletes almost everything related to the installtion. I always use it to uninstall something, don't know if BOINC instllations are always completely deleted but it normaly should

so i have an idea for the BOINC manager, what if you could right click on a certain tab(with tab i mean for example: statistics, tasks, projects) then you get a menu where you can choose to open it in a new window

9) Message boards : Questions and problems : Manager says "Task suspended" but is computing (Message 42979)
Posted 10 Mar 2012 by Profile thibaultmol
Post:
i think you should restart your computer and then run boinc again, i have had this problem too(sort of, i suspended al my tasks but still there were tasks computing thinks, i don't know if the percentage was increasing but when i looked at my taskmanager(in windows) it showed some proccesses from my projects running at full speed(like if they weren't suspended))
so i just suggest that you restart your computer, that will make all the running boinc related proccesses stop and restart at the computer restart

reply if it worked

good question, i think this would be interesting too because i have one really good pc(good proccessor) and 2 graphics but i want to use them both on the same... that also makes it better to manage.


but i don't know if this is possible... BOINC team, please look in to this!

hey forum,

i have a great idea for the BOINC manager, i run project like SETI@home but i also have a project called, renderfarm.fi. I want to set a priority for a certain project or task so that when a new task arrives from renderfarm.fi. That my BOINC client automaticly does that one because most of the time is has a short deadline, and i want to help the people who uploaded a render project to have the results as quick as possible

thx
14) Message boards : BOINC Manager : dual monitor problems(i know it only works with UltraMon) (Message 42729)

Hi BOINC forum,

I have a question regarding the screensaver on pc's with dual-monitor, i have read the post by Ageless about 5 years ago, it tells me that i should use UltraMon, so i did, i installed a trial version of UltraMon and i know where the setting is to chagne the screensaver, but the thing that i don't get is how i get it to work, i don't understand . So i installed a trial version of Ultramon, i found where i can chane the setting to change the screensaver for both of the monitors but i don't get them to work, they start and then dissapear after a few seconds or they just show a little boinc icon in the middle on both screens,

thx

btw: when i get it working thx to one of you people, i know a way to have 2 DIFFERENT boinc screensavers running on the screens, just change the settings of the second screensaver to have a bit more or a bit less time in one of the settings.

16) Message boards : BOINC Manager : idea: notes on the statistics (Message 42678)
Posted 22 Feb 2012 by Profile thibaultmol
Post:
hi forum and admins,

i would love it to have an option to add notes to a specific time and date on the statistics in the BOINC manager, so that if i wanted to look how i was doing over the last couple of weeks, i can put a note on the statistic for today because the SETI@home project has a chrashed server, so that i can see why the graph isn't going up

thx, maybe this can be added in 7.x?

Post:
hi forum, i'm new to boinc(i have it for like 5 days),

i have a question regardin multi-threaded tasks, i saw that AQUA@home has those kind of tasks but that is discontinued right?. So i kept searching for such a project, then i found it: Milkyway@home. Only problem here is that i have never seen a multi-threaded task from Milkyway@home (i know how bonic works!, and i know how to add projects and stuff!) but i have 3 pc's(only one of them is a personal SERVER, it has 4CPU's!(8threads), i want to use that power for multi-threaded tasks... So my question is, how do i get boinc to accept only milkyway@home tasks that are multi-threaded

thx
