1) Message boards : Questions and problems : boinc manager not showing statistics as a time line; only data as a single day point shown (Message 113707)

I don't know what happened but I started getting a time series plot of statistics in boinc manager. The plot starts at 12 feb 2024 and shows a daily point plot up through 1 march 2024. No idea what happened between yesterday and today but problem seems solved; at least until next time it happens. Total value of ordinate looks right.

Thanks all for looking at this for me.

I am currently running 9 concurrent tasks of asteroids@home that take about an hour each. So daily I am running and have been running and reporting about 150+ tasks per day for this project. This is for more than two weeks since I reinstated the mistakenly deleted projects. Asteroid@home is still seen in the graph as a single point and not a time series. The single point is plotted a day behind the current day which does make sense. The magnitude (ordinate) of the single point is of the magnitude that looks to be total of the 6 projects (asteroid@home + 5 deleted and reinstated projects) I have done work on.

Also, who constructed a graph with 3 day major increments along the abscissa. In the first week of engineering school freshman year you learn that all graph increments should always be 1,2,or 5 or some multiple of those.

I recovered statistics from projects that I inadvertently deleted by clearing non-running tasks. I rejoined all the deleted projects through boinc manager and my statistics were available.
The statistics total for all the projects looks to be accurate. However, the total is displayed as a single data point at the current and is not shown as a timeline graph over a time period as it used to be. I have reincorporated the recovered project statistics and run boinc for more for a week or so, yet the display still shows a single data point.

Any idea of how to recover the timeline?

thanks, i recovered all projects and stats by looking in those directories and re-adding the projects to boinc manager.

I "removed" a bunch of old projects I was not running any more just for aesthetics. Didn't realize the statistics would also be removed.

Is there any way I can recover the millions of points from these projects? Can't find any way to reactivate these projects. Not sure I remember all their names

I do have a week old backup, what files would I need to restore to go back to where I was last week?

thanks, tom kosvic
6) Message boards : Questions and problems : Many boinc subforums are locked (Message 104538)

Many subforums of boinc questions forum are locked, e.g., boinc manager. I am logged in. I cannot respond to any existing message. I think this is as evidenced to the locked icon that shows on boinc manager many other subforums also. Hovering over message also says locked.

I think, within a message, I can only send send a private message to a responder but cannot post a response on the thread.

Someone see if I am right? If I am right, I hope someone can unlock these subforums.

7) Message boards : BOINC Manager : closing boinc manager now kills client (Message 100871)
Posted 28 Sep 2020 by tckosvic
Post:
I am running openSUSE leap 15.2 with boinc manager 7.16.6. Closing boinc manager now kills client and stops computations. This is a real pain to keep boinc manager minimized and not close it by accident. I try to run boinc for extended periods unattended. Now I have to check it and keep starting boinc client when I accidentally close boinc manager..

In openSUSE 15.1 which I ran until a week or so ago, I could close boinc manager and boinc client would keep running. I accrued 1.2 million status points running boinc calcs on 9 processors. This was painless. I believe the boinc manager for openSUSE 15.1 was 7.16.3 but I am not completely sure.

First, is this the expected behavior for version 7.16.6? If not, are there any settings I can adjust.

If this behavior is now standard, I would like to reinstall 7.16.3. Where can I get a copy? openSUSE wont reinstall the 15.1 boinc version.

alternatively, I could compile the code given patch code and instructions as to what changes to make to stop killing boinc client.

thanks, tom kosvic
