My BOINC Manager doesn't let me connect to Science United. I add it as an account manager and the client says it has done so succesfully after entering my password, but I'm not connected. I can still click add account manager, and nothing has changed in any of the menus. There are also no tasks coming or anything. The event log says the following:
31/01/2022 12:38:25 | | Fetching configuration file from https://scienceunited.org/get_project_config.php
But nothing happens after that.
I've tried the above steps many times, without succes. I've tried a full reinstall as well, but the problem doesn't go away.
Anyone have an idea what I could do?

Kind regards
Dag

I also have connected to Sience United and my computer stopped connecting in 2021.
How do I correct this?

Heya, so I'm also having issues with this as I've only recently started using BOINC again. Turns out for some reason I can't connect to Science United either.
I keep getting "Failed to add account manager", which after it doesn't even let me login to my Science United account.

You should update your version of boinc, the problem should be solved, please let me know if this is the case

I, too, have no luck getting any work. Been connected to Worldcommunitygrid for many years. I keep getting messages from Science United about no work reported. I did not turn off my computer for years except to reboot for updates. I run openSUSE linux and have since the very beginning.

I too am having this issue. Unfortunately there is no update to BOINC for Ubuntu.

I get messages in my email from Boinc Admin that I haven't any work done, but I do the work but apparently it is not being received. It says I need to make sure that Boinc is Synchronized with Science United. I click on the 'Synchronize with Science United' button in the Tools menu but it always comes back saying the 'account manager failed to update'. How do I get a hold of this account manager finish the synchronization and update. This all started after I installed the new version of Boinc 7.20.2 . I use Mac OS 10.11. Would appreciate any help.

I am restarting BOINC after a year-long hiatus. WCG is feeding Mapping Cancer Markers tasks, but I can't seem to get other projects to do anything meaningful. Notably. I can't "Synchronize with Science United", can't "Add Project". I use a VPN, but have tried disconnecting, to no avail. I see others have reported this issue ... are there any solutions yet?

UPDATE (talking to myself)

Since my previous post, BOINC Manager is seeing download attempts from Rosetta@home ... two in persistent "retry" state, and eight pending completion of those. Then today, I received an email from boinc.berkeley.edu telling me that Science United hasn't seen any reported work from my computer in the past 7 days.

The only thing that's feeding me work is World Community Grid. Does WCG not report through Science United?

After I updated my BOINC to the new 7.20.2 version, my Science United stopped working (other projects are running OK). From the "Tools" menu I clicked on "Synchronize with Science United" but no use. So I removed it by clicking on "Stop using Science United". After that I tried to add it again by clicking on "Add account manager" and then "Science United", but it came back with saying "Account manager failed to update". I downloaded the newest file 'ca-bundle.srt' and replaced the old file with it in the fold "Programme Files\BOINC". Nothing was changed and I still received "Account manager failed to update" again! Can anybody help?

After a stop due to a hospital recovery I bought a Microsoft laptop and reconnected to Science United getting 6 projects. All run well.Some of the keys give wrong characters. To get @ I must click Shift plus a key which should give me an accented a on my Surface 5 laptop.

I had the same issue. Going back to BOINC version 7.16.20 fixed it for me. Perhaps that will work for you as well.

I assume that Science United is no longer being maintained. I have an account, and like others here, keep getting messages telling me I haven't reported work. I keep trying to add the manager, but to no avail. Nobody else who has posted the problem has received a satisfactory reply, so unless I hear something soon, I think it's time to unsubscribe.

As I mentioned in another thread, the solution is to update your BOINC client. BOINC 7.16 doesn't seem to be able to connect to Science United, but BOINC 7.22 does.

I can confirm that I got the same problem on two of my machines, and upgrading to 7.22 resolved it.

"Failed to add account manager" Unable to add Science United as an "Account manager"

unable to do so on either of the BOINC Versions

7.18 ( Last working version)
7.20.2
7.22.2 ( currently running on)

Upgrading to Newer version didn't solve the problem for me.

Kindly suggest an alternative.

Thank you

hello,
I also cannot connect with science united anymore.
I am running on a Apple iMac M1 running Sonama.
it seems to have stopped communicating just after the upgrade to Sonoma.
any idea how to fix it?
thanks,
Roy

Same issue here. Does anyone know if Science United is still online?

I updated to 7.24.1 from 7.16.11 and it allowed me to update finally. Prior to that it said I hadn't connected since 2021 even though it was processing work.
