1) Message boards : BOINC Manager : manager not responding (Message 16312) Posted 1 Apr 2008 by Greg C. TNO Post: About an hour after the first post on this I had realized it was something with LHC and got extreme... what really irritated me was that it killed ALL work, not just LHC units. How it could shut down the 'run as service' installation is beyond my expertise. You'd think other projects would still run, so I assume the resources were somehow tied up by this fiasco. Also, as the manager was frozen, aborting or suspending wasn't an option. It made BOINC crash, that would make it close no matter the installation method. Danke.
2) Message boards : BOINC Manager : manager not responding (Message 16293) Posted 1 Apr 2008 by Greg C. TNO Post: Has anyone tested what options will fix this? If the LHC WUs are aborted or deleted, will the problem go away? Will the download that's causing it go away if the LHC WU is aborted or deleted? About an hour after the first post on this I had realized it was something with LHC and got extreme... what really irritated me was that it killed ALL work, not just LHC units. How it could shut down the 'run as service' installation is beyond my expertise. You'd think other projects would still run, so I assume the resources were somehow tied up by this fiasco. Also, as the manager was frozen, aborting or suspending wasn't an option. I shut down the Boinc manager, went into the Boinc directory and manually deleted all references to LHC. The big LHC file under 'projects' and all the loose files with LHC in the title text in the main directory. In multi core computers, there is a file called 'slots'. Look into each and select all/delete everything in the folders with 'six pack' and 'fort'. Leave the folders empty but present, i.e. slot 0, slot 1 and so on. Your boinc manager will refill them with another project when you re-start. In my case, I did not delete the info permanently. I left it in the recycle bin. (You could move it all to a folder for storage), if LHC figures it out, I have hundreds of hours of work that could be salvaged. When you re-start the Boinc manager, nothing from LHC should be present, (it shouldn't be listed under projects for example). If the manager locks up again, go back and make sure you got everything. I realize this is a shotgun approach, and heavy handed, but I have 15 other projects that are not corrupted and people more clever than I can figure out what EXACTLY the problem was :-)
