This sort of announcement is under the control of the project - BOINC just relays on such messages as it receives from the application that was developed by them. |

The project suffered an update that didn't go as well as hoped. This has resulted in a lot of problems with connecting to it, so well outside our control. Just sit tight, wait a couple of days and it should possible to connect. |

I can live with slow responses, which will be a vast improvement over the no response of recent days. |

Not what I would have recommended for a Friday afternoon changeover... I'm not sure how to categorise doing a reshuffle of a website before a weekend without telling users "We're going to be down for a month to cure the mess we're about to create". Such acts rarely go to plan, and since everyone wants to get to the pub or home early they are probably not going to be in a state to do anything about it until sometime late on Monday (morning). I may just about survive the weekend on the work in hand has about 2.5 days to run...... |

Not exactly a project down, but CPDN ave changed the structure of their website, and "broken" the login script. The forum are accessible, but the status of posts doesn't work, and since you can't login everything comes up "read", further you can't see any of ones stats. edit - and the address of the upload page has changed....... (I can't comment about the download page as I've not needed a download) |

Just a quick sanity check:<download_url>http://x.x.x.x.158:8080/test/download</download_url> Should these two lines read <download_url>http://x.x.x.158:8080/test/download</download_url> or <download_url>http://x.x.x.x:8080/test/download</download_url> |

Close to useless - me thinks you are being far to polite. What was actually wrong with the old format apart from not being "sexy"? It was easy to navigate on just about any device, you didn't need to scroll down a large page to (possibly) find what you were looking for. |

First thought - incorrect drivers installed. Which Nvidia GPUs are you using? Which drivers (source and version) are you using? |

Message 114072 Posted 27 May 2024 by robsmith |
Since SETI@Home has not being allowing new account creation for a long time, where did you create your new one? Remember, accounts are specific to the project, not universal (apart from Science United, but with that you don't get individual credit or control....) Your SETI@Home credit will still be around, but I assume your "old" S@H account name wasn't driver86.... |

| 13) Message boards : BOINC Manager : new HD error
Message 113627 Posted 15 Feb 2024 by robsmith |
Its the first three lines in RED that concerns me The answer is "it depends" - are the projects you've selected running? - are the right number of cores, amount of memory etc. being used? This line tells us that at least part of cc_config.xml is correct 2/14/2024 9:36:25 AM | | Config: use all coprocessors So, what's not working how you want it to? If nothing then you can generally leave it alone until you have the time to work through the whole of a file that can be difficult to read and spot the error. |

Message 113625 Posted 15 Feb 2024 by robsmith |
Somewhere in the <options > section of your cc_config.xml there is a missing </ word> tag. These can a real pain to find..... So, first, what operating system are you using? Knowing this will help people tell you where to find cc_config.xml [edit to add ] -which version of Windows? Once you've found the file you need to open it using a text editor (not an editor which tries to understand xml files), slowly work through it and make sure that each < word> has a matching < /word> - noting that there may be more than one (I've got that tee-shirt). |

Google does this every now and then, particularly to organisations with what it consoders to be large numbers of recipients. A real pain but the only way round this is to get the senfing organisation to prod Google to get de-black listed (again). |

Message 112943 Posted 16 Oct 2023 by robsmith |
It's meant to be a wrapper to enable (small) projects to run without a BOINC server, but appears to few, if any, projects actually doing anything. |

Message 112894 Posted 12 Oct 2023 by robsmith |
A couple of questions By Settings: "Processors - 100%, 50% Usage, 50% Memory" do you mean "use all 6 cores for 50% of the time" or "use 50% of the cores 100% of the time"? Are you running any other projects, if so which, and are they displaying the same pattern of behaviour? For now I'll assume the former is the correct interpretation. You may find by allowing BOINC to run on 5 or the 6 cores will actually be faster (more tasks per hour) and les intrusive on the operating system than using all 6. This can be done by setting "use at most xx% of cores to 83%. Also it is generally better to run the cores 100% of the time instead of a fraction of the time, this is particularly true on AMD Phenom chips which could stutter badly during the repeated start/stop cycles. Task and project swapping can be rather random, indeed I can't remember the last I saw actually happen - BOINC appears to prefer to complete a running task than swap tasks & projects. |

One quick check is that under the activity menu option you have "run based on preferences" selected. |
