2) Message boards : BOINC Manager : Boinc stuck connecting to localhost (Message 111321)

Okay, before we give you the runaround on paths and such, let's just first focus on the message. "Connecting to localhost" means that BOINC Manager (the GUI) has started, but the BOINC client may not have, or it is too busy starting up tasks, loading them in memory, to immediately connect with BOINC Manager to show what it's doing.

Keith told you to open Task Manager and kill the BOINC Manager process, instead I want you to open Task Manager and see if both boinc.exe and boincmgr.exe are running in the Processes tab. If only BOINC Manager is running, that means the client hasn't started. In that case restart the computer and see if that fixes the problem for now, then open BOINC Manager -> Options -> Other options... -> General, make sure "Run Manager at login?" and "Run the client?" are checked, then press Save and maybe that just already fixed it.

If both were already checked, then can you please tell us which projects you have added and which ones have work, and what kind of work?
Can you also give some details about your computer, or better yet, post the first 30 or so lines of the BOINC Event Log (CTRL+SHIFT+E)?

Let's just start there. Adding start delay and other fancy options to cc_config.xml is always an option, but it shouldn't be necessary for geenral users.

Why, if you have very little use for a phone to be used as a phone, would you buy one?

Running BOINC on it isn't such a good idea anyway, because if not cooled correctly the battery will bloat and break the phone.

BOINC its directory path isn't automatically added to the Windows %path% variable, which is why Windows search can't find it.

I wouldn't help if I were there either, but that's because I have overloaded my left arm in September already helping someone move. It's not healed yet, it's even gotten worse. Will have an ACP injection in the affected tendon next month, I specifically asked for that. Then healing process is 4 months, with normal use, instead of 12-24 with limited use.

One option is that the email account(s) used are compromised, that someone else has access to it/them. I'm not sure if we send out an email on account creation, but someone who has access to your email account could use it to get a temporary login link on the forums and delete the account that way, but that leaves emails in the email account (which of course can also be deleted by the other person).

We have disabled account creation on the forums for now.

Post:
GPU Caps Viewer 1.58.01 reports no OpenCL device except for the CPU.
When another application reports it cannot find an OpenCL capable GPU either, it's drivers. Using last available drivers doesn't mean they include OpenCL for your device.

Always clean install drivers, don't use drivers of a previously installed video card. Use DDU in Windows Safe Mode to remove all previous driver remnants.

19) Message boards : Questions and problems : Couldn't create host record in database (Message 111095)
Posted 18 Feb 2023 by Profile Jord
Post:
And like I told you, it's two different things. BOINC Manager not being able to connect to the client is one. The client not being able to get the server to make a host record in the database is a second thing. They may be related. They may have the same solution. But until we're absolutely sure they aren't there's no need to merge them.

Besides, what is it that people may only post one thread asking for help? Why the need for some people to merge everything? It's not as if we're space constrained and only have room for 4 more threads left.
