Message 1798 - Posted: 31 Mar 2025, 18:20:57 UTC

Hey all, recently all my PC's get the message in the title of the post. I have 5 of them under Linux Mint and one under Win10. Said message is shown on Science United homepage. I also noticed that under "Hardware/software info" none of the PC's show the version of BOINC software running on them.
Does anyone has any suggestion as to why this has happened? FYI I haven't tried reinstalling BOINC so far.

Looking at other people PC information it seems that everyone is affected as non of the PC's information shows BOINC versions that is run on them. So there seems to be a bigger problem with either Science United or BOINC in general.

When I looked at this, I'm showing version 8.0.4 on one of mine, but if I go to the download page for BOINC, it downloads 8.0.2. Somehow I got a higher version than what is available for download? This may be the problem if it's expecting 8.0.2 version, but is getting something different.

I have a same problem - all my computers stopped to work. Everywhere I have the last version. Reinstall of BOINC-client doesn't help. Re-name of affected machines doesn't help. Installation on new machines or change settings on web page doesn't help. Admin, we have a problem!

Oops! There was a problem that showed erroneous 'please upgrade' messages,
and also didn't show the version on the host page.
This is fixed now. Let me know if further problems.
