Thank you, idahofisherman, you are right: can't restore password -> can't log in -> can't post in the forums about email system problems -> can't restore password...

I was hoping that someone who already is in the project will inform the project administration about that problem.

It seems that an account cannot be deleted, so I did not want to create an additional account.

Climate@Home project's email system is broken.

I can't restore a password for my account in the project because
Email failed

Can't send email to {my Email address}


Please report to project admins about this problem.

Thanks.

The possible cause of the problem with error 0xc0000135 is the file permissions. boinc_project account under which BOINC apps works hasn't read access to windows\system32 directory and couldn't find all needed system dlls.

I had such error with Collatz and WUProp@Home projects. WUProp couldn't find WS2_32.dll, and Collatz couldn't find nvcuda.dll.

I added boinc_project to Users local group and all works now.

...
and 4.72 is plain buggy crap.
...


I'm running 4.72 on Win2k and find it very stable! What problems have you had?


I have a bug with "Network activity suspended" option. When I suspend network activity for BOINC, it still send requests to project servers (only up/downloads are suspended).
When I select "Network activity based on preferences" and set a time i.e. from 1:00 to 7:00 this option is worked. But when I select "Network always available" or "Network activity suspended", BOINC continue uses these preference option values. Only when I again reset preferences to zero values, BOINC uses "always available" and "suspended" options.

I think this will be a very useful feature for us with dialup because a big threads are downloaded very slow. And of course for all others.

Possible features:

  • Forum preference: how many posts per page;
  • links from a list of threads to each thread's page (for example: New thread [Pages: 2, 3, 4, 5]);
  • link to last post in a thread;



I like this general idea, even though I am on cable - my service is a bit screwy atm. It will also make threads a lot neater IMHO :)

PS : You of course know that turning off avatars and signatures; and setting images to display as links speeds up things quite a bit.


Yes, of course, I know about this :). But when in a thread there are 60+ posts, hmmm....

Well, in next 2 or 3 weeks I think this feature will not be actual for me because I will connect to a city network which is lower in cost. ;)

11) Message boards : BOINC client : BOINC CC doesn't use delay requests from scheduler replies
Message 268

BURP is down for maintenance now.
When BOINC sends requests to BURP server it receives replies with no work and tries next time with usual period:

09/10/05 19:15:21|BURP|Sending scheduler request to http://burp.boinc.dk/burp_cgi/cgi

and so on.

In scheduler reply there is 1 hour delay but it seems BOINC doesn't use it:

{scheduler_reply}
{message priority="low"}Project is temporarily shut down for maintenance{/message}
{request_delay}3600{/request_delay}
{project_is_down/}
{/scheduler_reply}

I also have some problem sometimes.
You can try restart BOINC Manager or open a dialog from File/Select Computer... menu item, select empty host name and press OK button.
These works for me.
14) Message boards : BOINC Manager : Language change in BOINC Manager 4.72
Message 120
Posted 3 Sep 2005 by Nikolay A. Saharov
I tested it with Russian and English. All others are some.
Problem is here in MainFrame.cpp source file:
void CMainFrame::OnToolsOptions(wxCommandEvent&amp; WXUNUSED(event)){
...
if (m_iSelectedLanguage != pDlg-&gt;m_LanguageSelectionCtrl-&gt;GetSelection()) {
ShowAlert(
_("The BOINC Managers default language has been changed, in order for this change to take affect you must restart the manager."),
_("Language Selection..."),
wxICON_INFORMATION
);
}
...
}

The first param of the function is a title of message, and second one is a message.
Should be:

if (m_iSelectedLanguage != pDlg-&gt;m_LanguageSelectionCtrl-&gt;GetSelection()) {
ShowAlert(
_("Language Selection..."),
_("The BOINC Managers default language has been changed, in order for this change to take affect you must restart the manager."),
wxICON_INFORMATION
);
}

When you select another language in Options dialog, it seems that in message box that is pops up after that, caption and message text are messed.
