Hi all,

I have BOINC crunching numbers for SETI, ClimatePrediction.net and Rosetta.

However, since I upgraded it to 5.8.8 it is only processing ClimatePrediction.net???

Any explanations?

Depends on whether BOINC is thinking now that the client is over-committed, but before that, upgrade to 5.8.11 as there were further tweaks made.

Could it also be the change where a task switch won't happen until a check point is reached?

Thanks, I'll try that. do I need to fully uninstall BOINC first, then do a fresh install of the updated version? Or is it simply install the new version directly over the top of the older one?

Upgrading can be done over the top. I just exit out of BOINC and run the installer (at least on Windows).

Downgrading doesn't work. You have to uninstall through add/remove programs and then install.

I am running BOINC 5.8.11 WinXP I have several projects running - LHC is one. It's in transition, so rarely has work while they migrate servers. It backs itself off gradually from trying to get work in 7 sec, then in several minutes, then in several hours. Then repeats the cycle. However, if I run any other application (Einstein or Rosetta for example) then the LHC application stops looking for work completely. Even if it had thought it was a 1 minute interval to the next "poll" - no more requests - for hours. If I suspend the running applications LHC still doesn't look for work - I have to do a LHC update on the project screen to get it back into it's periodic polling.
Hope this is the right message thread, there are a lot. If not a question for here, any suggestions as to where this would fit? Is it a problem or a feature?

I seem to have a similar problem.
On my Mac, I'm running boincsimap and SETI. Currently there is no work for boincsimap, but I noticed that I had lost my SETI projects. So I reattached to SETI and found that after some time, I had lost all SETI projects again. This keeps happening since I upgraded to 5.8.17.
On my WIndows laptop I only run SETI, but there it's the same story. I need to reattach manually to SETI all the time.

Michael, are you by chance using an account manager, like BAM ?

Hi Jord - yes indeed, I have been using BAM,m but stopped it now and it seems to work fine now :-) Thanks for your help.
