Hi,

cool, that worked, thank you very much 

Hello,

I needed to do a clean reinstall of Windows 10 but now I am unable to make BoincTasks start automatically when I turn on my PC. I have set "Start BoincTasks when logged in" (I am using the german version so not sure what the exact english expression is here),
but nothing happens and I always need to manually start BT.

Any advice?

It seems the feature is not activated by default, but each project can decide to use it.

For example the LHC subproject ATLAS uses it.

So that would make my request a minor thing if it´s too difficult to implement.

You need to install Virtualbox for VM workunits, there´s a BOINC installer which have Virtualbox already included (https://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php) or you install VB separately.

So once installed correctly and you run a Virtualbox workunit in the original Boinc manager you then have the task option to show the console.

duchamp Sourcefinder is a vbox only project, but also in the other projects you can select to only receive vbox work.

Oh there are quite a few already:

Duchamp Sourcefinder: https://sourcefinder.theskynet.org/duchamp/
LHC@home: https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/index.php

Hi,

is it possible to have the option to show the VM console when you right click on a VM workunit? The option is there in the regular Boinc Manager, so it would be great to have it in Boincstats as well.

Many thanks

Hi,

yesterday I tried to use the new feature of mac addresses, but I can´t connect with that. (Boinctasks 1.57)

I deleted the IP address in the computer tab and entered the MAC address but nothing happens, the project and tasks tabs are both empty, but in taskmanager I see that the different project applications are running. Did I do something wrong? I´ll try 1.58 this evening.

Hey,

would it be possible to allow the gadget window to show more columns, maybe make it more configurable? So e.g. also show deadline, cpu usage etc.

Many thanks

I just checked my Mobile option but it is already disabled. I don´t know what could cause the issue.

There are so many thing that effects shutdown.
But let BoincTasks close and see how long it actually takes.
Check the BoincTasks log in: C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\eFMer\BoincTasks\log

Ok, shutdown is delayed by around 15 seconds which is not the end of the world. I cannot find a suspicious entry in the logs. As this behaviour is new in this version I believe it has something to do with 1.44 but it is not a major issue right now. Let´s see if this is the same with 1.45.

Regarding logs, I didn´t find an option to delete log files after x days. Would that be possible or is it already there but I´m blind?

Many thanks

I just checked my Mobile option but it is already disabled. I don´t know what could cause the issue.

Ah ok, I should have checked the changelog for 1.45 first, sorry for that.

Thanks

Hi,

I´m actually not sure if my issue is related to BT 1.44 but since some time now I have issues when I want to shut down my Windows 64 OS. I get a message that BT prohibites the correct shutdown, so I close that message window and then shut down again and then the PC shuts down.

I have tried different options, like stopping the tasks before shutting down, switching projects etc. but it is the same every time.

Never had this behaviour before with a BT version so I assume it is related to 1.44

Many thanks

Thanks fred, with the additional /login.html it works 

Hey,

I just installed BT 1.33 and happily found out that iOS is supported now which is great. So thank you very much for this development version.

However: I have checked the manual and established a connection to my iPad 2 with iOS 5.1.1 but when opening Safari there the page permanently reloads. A iPad reboot didn´t help as well. My ipod touch 1st generation has the same issue.

I am actually not an iOS expert so I´m not sure what other information I could give you for a possible solution?
