OpenSUSE 12.1 and 12.3 I recently noted that my BOINC process was using 500Mb of ram while running 6.10.XX this continued while work was suspended or running.

I upgraded the OS to OpenSUSE 12.3 and BOINC 6.12.XX from the OpenSUSE repositories. I still have this happening. I am currently running Correlator@home and it uses 160MB+ per core. this tends to make the OS sluggish.

Has anyone seen this before?

not just the columns in the task portion but the tabs as well. we should be able to slide the tabs left or right to our preferences

allow columns on the task page of the BOINC manager to be set by client. in other words I can arrange my columns the way I want to see them.

I'm dubious only for the fact that the 512 RSA has only completed around 1% of potential keys. which means it has a good 50 years or more to complete all combinations. a 1024 would exponentially increase the time to completion and really is a long long long term project

correction it tells me to check my spelling that it couldn't find the url... then FF pops up and loads the page

I do believe it says the URL is incorrect. this doesnt prevent the boinc manager from actually connecting to the url. Like I said its an annoying bug

the popup message from BOINC indicates that the address provided was wrong and that I should check my spelling. Since it always connects this is more of an annoying bug than an actual error.

I take that back. It didn't fix the problem. I'm betting this is a local phenomenon where BOINC attempts to connect to a server and when it doesnt get a prompt response it thinks theres a problem even thought Firefox connects correctly

well I'll be darned if that didn't do the trick. I wonder if this is a newer glitch since I've never had this happen before

using BOINC 6.6.36 on win64 Firefox is my default browser.

Herein lies the problem. If I click on the links provided by the projects on the BOINC manager projects tab I get a message stating that BOINC cannot connect to the website and I need to check my the spelling of the address. Here's the annoying part. After giving me the message it loads the page properly. Is this a bug in 6.6.36

I'd give this post a bit of time. Boinc forums are a bit more glacial than most forums. They'll get you an answer just give it time
