Wish List / Re: BOINC's project list often...

Last post by Joseph Stateson - April 01, 2025, 02:14:12 PM

Really strange problem over at Rosetta.  The normal way to add the project fails to get data unless the following is added to hosts at
c:\windows\system32\etc\hosts

128.95.160.156 boinc-files.bakerlab.org
128.95.160.156 bwsrv1.bakerlab.org

So not even all_projects_list.xml is sufficient to make that project work.

At least I did not have to detach / re-attach to fix the problem.

Questions / Re: Crashing

Last post by Joseph Stateson - April 01, 2025, 02:08:44 PM

If running windows then check the event viewer. I am running 1.94 with 10 systems and silent restart disabled.  The only problem I have seen is when I accidentally select "All Computers" when I have messages or history on the display.  If I am fast enough I can select a PC else I either wait it out (takes to long) or try to close the app and restart it.

Possibly you have some setting contributing to the problem or I am not using some feature that you are having a problem with.

Questions / Crashing

Last post by hucker - April 01, 2025, 12:32:08 AM

Boinctasks occasionally crashes and silently restarts, no big deal, but recently it's doing it every few minutes, and when it restarts, Windows stupidly puts it in focus, so it interrupts what I'm typing.  It might be only when I'm playing Dust Lands on the Bluestacks android emulator.  How do I go about troubleshooting this?

According to what I read, the file name should work, like FahCore_a7.exe

Thanks, I see you use Folding too.  It's what I needed it for!

Likely here, since I've cobbled together loads of old monitors (5).  Combinations of VGA, DVI, HDMI, DP, and even USB,  with many adapters!  Just ordered a new graphics card with 6 outputs, so I don't have to use USB which is very flaky.  The adapters burn out every 6 months!

So I'd have to add the full location, since the other options are referring to this computer, not the remote one?

I'm running Windows 11 on several computers.

Windows generally uses both screens as one big screen.
So BoincTasks only sees coordinates.

When one monitor is lost, all bets are off, Windows sometimes does strange things and moves everthing to the monitor that is working.

With the first line you can add an app from any folder
The second does something simular but with the running programs.
The third is the actual exclusive app, selected by the first 2.
Or you can add the full app location like C:\Windows\explorer.exe
