Questions / Re: BSOD when installing

« on: November 16, 2019, 09:19:41 pm »

Tried to install latest version.
Got BSOD during the installation
From WhoCrashed:

I lost the ability to build new drivers.
It's very very expensive to release a driver with all the new restrictions.
Runs in the thousands of dollars.

Questions / Re: [OT] Running x64 app only in Moo

« on: October 12, 2019, 10:17:14 pm »

or even a rule in BOINCtask to reject such app (only x86)??

Ask the project.
Maybe a project config on your computer of a project setting.

Questions / Re: How to flag a WU so it will not be interrupted & bumped into the waiting queue?

I did look at the rules setting but could not see anything there that seemed like it would do what I am asking.

BOINC handles this automatically a task with such deadline that far away will probably be bumped to the end of the list.
Not much you can do, but hope BOINC works as it should.

Questions / Re: TT will run on ARM win 10??

« on: October 04, 2019, 09:46:11 pm »

so easy (or difficult) like the subject, I'm thinking about the Surface Pro X with ARM based processor and also Adreno GPU.

On an ARM based system everything is different, like driver and program, so it wont run.

Questions / Re: How can I run Tthrottle as a service? On the background with centralized config?

« on: October 04, 2019, 09:45:06 pm »

Hey fred, im pretty sure the Only run as administrator feature is bugged. It wont allow me to open the program both with an regular user account and as a administrator. Tested in windows 10 and windows 7! Only solution is to reinstall Tthrottle

Just tested it on Win 10 latest updates installed.
Exit TThrottle.
If you have TThrottle on the desktop.
Click with the right mouse key and select run as Administrator. This is not the same as running an Administrator account and start TThrottle, weird as it is.
Now you can check Allow .....
If you want to open TThrottle you should be able to and TThrottle asks the Admin to log in and you have full access.

At startup TThrottle should hide itself, maybe not the first time around.

It's all in the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\eFMer\TThrottle64 or HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\eFMer\TThrottle on a 32 bit machine.
Problably on settings, general and floatingdlg can be set on all machines.

You can use BoincTasks to remotely check TThrottle once it's running and allows a BoincTasks connection.

Hello there guys.
First things first. Nice job coding Ttthrotle.
1. Im trying to find a way to run Tthrotle without the need for the user to be logged in.

2. How can I configure the program once in a administrator account, then all other users wont have to config themselves?
I find very anoying that all the users of the machine will have to deal with de Update dialog, and even whorse, to deal with a mistery gray box that just wont go away for no reason.

3. My idea is to run boinc and tthrottle to avoid overheating and excessive noise. For that i would need to install tthrottle as admin, then all other users would run it in the background

4.Theres also the idea of running boinc in big networks ran by domain controllers. Most of the computers would stay in the logon dialog... How could I install Tthrottle so every user would be running boinc and tthrotle?

Windows doesn't allow TThrottle to run as a service, the rights of a program running as a service are rather restricted.
2) You can start TThrottle as administator and go to preference and check "Allow TThrottle to be opened by Admin only"
There shouldn't be a gray box, try removing the check at "Show temperature window" in preference.
3) At the moment TThrottle only runs as user.

Questions / Re: Accessing BOINCTasks outside the LAN

Even if they could catch the password in transmission (unlikely), all they could do is change your BOINC settings.  That is not a security risk, only a nuisance risk.

You would have total control, removing projects adding projects.
But who would be interested in doing, that's the question.
Adding a project that could take over you computer could be an issue.

Questions / Re: How to get through Windows Firewall

« on: September 05, 2019, 07:14:29 am »

The Boinc client needs access to the local net to communicate with BoincTasks, so make sure BOINC client has all the rights it need on the local network.

Look for: Allow an app or feature through Windows Firewalll

Questions / Re: Tasks get stuck in Uploading and Downloading

« on: August 17, 2019, 10:47:16 am »

Is this a problem with BT or SETI@Home or Win 10?

At least it's not a BT problem.
The project frequently goes down for maintenance, than the upload tasks wait a while.

You can select all tasks and right click to select retry, that might help. But don't do this too often.

First Boinc isn't safe to acces over the internet, nothing is encrypted.
I personally use teamviewer to access BoincTasks over the Internet.
Another option would be to set up a VPN connection.

An alternative is https://efmer.com/boinctasks-cloud/ if you have a Windows computer running on your local net.

Rules / Re: Members that will be removed

I do not think there is any accountability there and ones email can be easily spoofed.

Nothing is perfect and recently someone got past the security questions.

Questions / Re: No context menue in task list

« on: August 05, 2019, 02:02:18 pm »

When I right-click on items in the task list, I don't get a context menue anymore. It still works for the project list or message list.
This means I'm not able to remove a task or to stop a task, etc.

You do know there is a taskbar for that. View check toolbar operations.
Did you restart your computer?
Are you able to select tasks?

OK Check the BOINC client log on computer Mary, the connection attempt might show up in the log.
My guess the BOINC client refuses to connect, maybe password or IP related.
When you run the Toolbox on the your pc the one with BoincTasks any errors?
