Hey guys,

Does anyone know how I can force BOINC to start the manager up when the computer starts. My computer reset when I was at work and it's been doing nothing for 4 hours. Keeps saying not connected to client. I have to close it and start it manually. Run manager at login's on, it's set to run all the time, and connect to the network every 0.01 days, setting it to 0 makes no difference. Can't think of anything else.

Regards
Mike.

Yes, you could install BOINC in Protected Application Execution mode (aka service install). See also Service install = Protected Application Execution mode at the BOINC dev boards. However, in that mode windows vista and above won't recognise a GPU.


The message reads "not connected to client" not "to server". BOINC consists of two components: the manager, which is a GUI for the client, which in turn is responsible for controlling the science applications and up/downloading work units. [edit]Obviously, in your case the client crashed. You should inspect the log files in the BOINC data directory (stdoutdae.txt, stderrdae.txt).[/edit]

Thanks, I upgraded to the latest one and it fixed it, sometimes. BTW do you know of a way I can get BOINC to schedule reporting of completed WUs. They'll upload but they stay on ready to report till I get home.

This is supposed to work, but it doesn't seem to always work using the last few Boinc versions (6.10.## up). It worked flawlessly for me under 6.6.38



edit: save as cc_config.xml in Boinc install directory.

Tasks are reported at the earliest of:

1) 24 hours before report deadline.
2) Connect Every X before report deadline.
3) 24 hours after completion.
4) Immediately if upload completes later than any of 1 to 3.
5) On a work fetch request.
6) On a trickle up (CPDN only as far as I know).
7) On a trickle down request (no projects that I am aware of use this).
8) On a server defined maximum contact period (some projects have started using this).
9) On a BOINC Manager Requested project contact.
10) When the user clicks "Update" on the "tasks" tab.


It's the data directory, as to be found in the Messages tab after a BOINC client restart.

even that's conditional - if they suddenly find YETI, DA will probably decide there is no more usefull sience to be done for BOINC and shuts down the whole thing..

Thanks guys. I'll try the xml script. It just gets annoying that I have to manually update each project (though I think do network connection works to) just to get an accurate summation of my credits.
