Shouldn't Boinc autoupdate like every other program nowadays? I feel like I'm back in the days of DOS with this stuff.

No. It's up to you to to keep ALL the software on your computer up to date.

And for your information:
NOT ALL "MODERN" SOFTWARE AUTO UPDATES ITSELF.

Shut down BOINC and restart the host.


Did that. Got no new ones.

Event log says project servers may be temporarily down.


If this is the computer in question it's running an outdated version (7.16.11) of BOINC with an expired certificate file.

Solution: Download & install the latest Windows x64 version 7.20.2 from the main BOINC site.

It's great that the power is back for the time being, but it's not good that the results are no longer counted as a result.

Best advice for you is cut your cache back to one or two days, then when the server has problems or project goes offline for a few days unexpectedly you still have a buffer to return tasks before they expire.

Hopefully the project admin will be able to run a script to revalidate those expired tasks.

I am sure you are not the only one that is affected by the power issues and should be credited for good work returned.

In past few days to maybe 1 week ago I have had several Android tasks do same thing even on a dedicated "crunching" phone.

Can't see any obvious reason for this other than it does not like something in the data possibly.

There is no need to install VirtualBox unless you run a project that requires it.
So BOINC without VirtualBox is all that is needed.

Correct. I was linking to what the user already has installed/using per the computers existing profile page.

As stated in title Android tasks get to 100% then restart at 0%.

This is my 2nd or 3rd Tasks it has happened to in a month now.

Most recent task ...Which I aborted because it will not be done before deadline.
https://universeathome.pl/universe/result.php?resultid=84953918

There is nothing in stderr output explaining what happened and nothing in the BOINC message log on the device either.

Until this is fixed I have quit doing any Android tasks for the project. Why waste my time when I have to abort the task because if I continue crunching it will not finish by deadline and not receive any credit anyways.

I tried running Universe BHspin v2 v0.01 on my Windows XP/32-Bit PC and they still fail almost immediately upon starting -- Same error as before.

I previously posted about it here on 3/23/2018 and never received a reply.
