2) Message boards : Problems : This project is using an old URL (Message 507) Posted 22 May 2020 by Ja Post: I am having this problem too, does anyone know how to remove gpugrid from boinc with greyed out remove button. Thanks Hello, Look at my answer to Chris Raisin's post, there I explain how to delete projects globally or individually from your Science Unitec account that you will be using as an account administrator in BOINC. A greeting.
3) Message boards : Problems : This project is using an old URL (Message 506) Posted 22 May 2020 by Ja Post: I've found the solution! Go into the data area where all your BOINC xml files are stored (probably C:\ProgramData]BOINC but it may be elsewhere if you configured it that way when installing BOINC. For each project xml file which begins with "account_" (followed by the name of the project) right mouse-button click on the file and select "Edit"). Note that file file must begin with "account_" and NOT "acct_" If you get a message box asking which editor you wish to use to edit the file, select "Notepad". Then go through the file and for every occurrence of "http://" change the wording to "https://" As you finish each file close it and save it (do not use "Save As" since that will affixc a ".txt" to the file name. Just use "Save" (and accept any message asking if you wish to "OverWrite") Close BOINC (I always find it good to go into Options/Other Options and check the box against "Enable Manager Exit Dialog". If you do that, when you exit BOINC it will ask if you wish to "Stop running tasks when BOINC closes". I always say "Yes", since I run BOINC in its own User account, and if I need to go into other User accounts on my PC (e.g. to check email, or play games or whatever) I do not want the very CPU intensive BOINC projects to slow my machine to a crawl. When I want BOINC to run, I log off all users, switch to the BOINC user account and start BOINC up to run all night or at other times when I am away from the machine). (This devotes all your resources then to BOINC to do its job more efficiently). When you start BOINC up again you will find all the projects which before had the "Remove" button grayed out will have the Remove button back in again. You can either leave things as they are, or (to ensure all files used by the projects which have changed their URL from "http:" to "https:") you can REMOVE the projects in question (sing the remove button) and then add them back in via the Tools/Add Project menu item (be careful though to select the project and then alter the URL in the BOINC Manager box to show "https:" before clicking the "Next" button (many projects in the listing have not yet had their URLs updated. It appears that the interface must be querying the BOINC account manager to align each of the currently listed projects using the URL value for the project and of course it will not find the projects with "httlp://" if they are on the BOINC Manager site as "https://", so it realizes you cannot delete it if it does not exits, and deactivates the "Remove" button. (The programmers could fix this by leaving the "Remove" button to always be active and, when it is clicked, see if the project is on the Account Manager's site (and if so delete it) and THEN delete the item in the listing anyway. Can the moderator advise how we can put this as a suggestion to the developers? Anyway, I hope this helps all those who are having trouble with the "Remove" button. Hello, Thank you for your research, although I think it is not necessary to do any of that, unless impatience wins you over. ;-) First, it is Science United that must correct the http links to https in accordance with the projects that are linked to them. Secondly, to delete a Science United project you can do it from your Science United account, this can be done in the Areas and location section (prefer, as necessary, never) or in the Science Projects section, where You can individually exclude projects attached to Science United. In addition to the Suspend and Do not ask for more tasks buttons that BOINC already brings. Although the delete button is not available as they are projects linked to the Science United account manager. In projects where you have your own account, in my case, Rosseta, SETI and Ibercivis, the Delete button is activated, even if the first two are within Science United as well, but they have priority because they have been activated with my personal account, otherwise they would also have the Delete button disabled by running under Science United. A greeting.
4) Message boards : Problems : This project is using an old URL (Message 500) Posted 21 May 2020 by Ja Post: Hello, I have the same problem for days or maybe weeks, I don't know. GPUGRID: Notice from BOINC This project is using an old URL. When convenient, remove the project, then add https://www.gpugrid.net/ 05/21/2020 18:04:56 The solution must be given by Sciene United, since GPUGRID works on my computer by SU. A greeting.
5) Message boards : Problems : Rosetta: you are attached to this project twice (Message 497) Posted 20 May 2020 by Ja Post: Hello, The same thing happened to me a few days ago. I deleted the Rossetta project and put the new URL. I do not know if having an account in Rossetta since 2009, tasks are also sent from SU. In SETI it had it since 2001, although the project is out of service now. I also have an account at Ibercivis since 2009, although I couldn't recover that one, since I deleted BOINC a few years ago and a few months ago I reinstalled it with my Rosseta, SETI accounts and created a new account with Ibercivis. Then I added SU. Today the same message appeared to me as Rosseta but with GPUGRIP, this URL is old it changes to the new one. But of course, my GPUGRIP works under the SU account. I do have my own account in projects such as SETI, Rosseta and Ibercivis. I suppose that from Science United you would have to update the new project addresses. A greeting.
