Upload problem
(Message 6077)
Posted 6 days ago by Grant (SSSF) Post: You're running an older client, so it could be an issue with the security certificate. I'd suggest downloading & installing the current BOINC client over you existing installation to upgrade it. If after upgrading & restarting BOINC the files don't start to upload, it will be a case of checking out the Event log, possibly enabling some diagnostic flags in order to see what's going on. |

Posted 8 days ago by Grant (SSSF) Post: Pretty atrocious credit by the looks atm.The amount of Credit per Task is fixed. Linux gives better processing times than Windows. Instead of mucking around with VMs you could just make use of Windows Subsystem for LINUX? |

Why 50% CPU faster than 100?
(Message 6052)
Posted 9 days ago by Grant (SSSF) Post: Well, in my first run I let my computer use 100% CPU with 10 WUsDifferent Tasks require different lengths of time to complete. Even if running exactly the same Task- Reducing the number of cores in use allows higher clocking of the CPU, and less cache contention, so less time to process each Task. But as less Tasks will be done, that will result in less work actually being done per hour. |

What is happening?
(Message 6050)
Posted 9 days ago by Grant (SSSF) Post: Hmm, thats odd because I had thought my Mac has been returning results for the last several weeks - I may have been misreading it but there was no problem raised when I added the project (unlike LHC which requires VirtualBox).Looking at your systems, your Linux & Windows systems are returning work, but your Darwin system which was attached to Rosetta on Feb 19 hasn't done a single Task. You can add a Project, even if it doesn't have an application for that system's OS, it just won't be able to get any work. Go to the BOINC Manger advanced view and bring up the Event Log (Tools Tab, Event Log). Go to the Projects Tab, select Universe & click on Update. See what messages come up in the Event Log. |

Universe Disappeared
(Message 6046)
Posted 10 days ago by Grant (SSSF) Post: You now show two Ryzen 7 5700G systems- one with Windows 10, the other with Windows 11. Looks like you upgraded the OS on your system, and upgraded the BOINC Manager, and for some reason the system got a new ID number- Created 18 Mar 2023, 4:44:57 UTC Did you upgrade the OS 3 days ago? Because that's the last time the Win10 system contacted the Universe server. |

Universe Disappeared
(Message 6043)
Posted 10 days ago by Grant (SSSF) Post: Too late to edit- or if you have upgraded BOINC to the current version then it's an indication of a configuration issue with your computer/modem/isp (in order of most likely cause) that is blocking access to the Universe servers.Tried to add Universe, but got another message saying that the project could not be added.That would be because of the old BOINC version you have. |

Posted 13 days ago by Grant (SSSF) Post: No problems here at all since my earlier post outage post. Exit BOINC, wait a while, then restart it. Check the Event log to see what messages are there. No recent changes to your AV software? These days they often also take over the firewall settings. You have an older version of BOINC there, if there's nothing obvious in the Event log, try upgrading to the current BOINC version. |

Posted 15 days ago by Grant (SSSF) Post: We seem to be back after an extended break. Forums are sluggish, web site extremely slow to respond. And uploads & downloads are taking lots of Retrys to get through, but they are slowly clearing. Scheduler response is slow, but not too bad compared to everything else. |

Running Universe@Home - progress stuck
(Message 6022)
Posted 24 days ago by Grant (SSSF) Post: Likewise- i've never had Universe Task stall. In the past on other projects if i've had a Task stall for longer than it's expected runtime, i'd exit BOINC, give it 20-30 seconds & then restart. If the Task gets stuck again, then i'd abort it. Once or twice the Task has completed normally, but most times it's had to be aborted. |

Posted 25 Jan 2023 by Grant (SSSF) Post: Don't know how you would do it on a headless unit, but the BOINC Banager has the option to view the Event log, which shows the messages generated when contacting the Scheduler (ie requesting work, not requesting work as cache is full etc), along with other BOINC manager activity. |

(Message 5990)
Posted 30 Dec 2022 by Grant (SSSF) Post: From memory you need the latest (or next to latest) BOINC version to attach to the project using the manager & select the project, otherwise it's a case of entering the project address manually. I vaguely remember i had to upgrade my BOINC Manager to the current version at the time to be able to select the project and make it stick. |
