1) Message boards : Problems : BOINC doesn't want to connect with Science United (Message 1560) Posted 3 Aug 2023 by NightBlade Post: 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.
2) Message boards : Problems : Error message when attaching project "Failed to add account manager" (Message 1556) Posted 30 Jul 2023 by NightBlade Post: I got this, too. Reinstalling the latest BOINC client (7.22) seems to resolve the problem.
3) Message boards : Problems : Tasks for GPU are available, but your preferences are set to not accept them (Message 1555) Posted 27 Jul 2023 by NightBlade Post: Got three copies of this message today (I have two GPUs): Thu 27 Jul 2023 07:47:56 PM \| World Community Grid \| Tasks for NVIDIA GPU are available, but your preferences are set to not accept them Thu 27 Jul 2023 07:47:56 PM \| World Community Grid \| Tasks for AMD/ATI GPU are available, but your preferences are set to not accept them Thu 27 Jul 2023 07:47:56 PM \| World Community Grid \| Tasks for Intel GPU are available, but your preferences are set to not accept them I checked all the preferences I could see in the BOINC client, and in the Computing prefs on this site; I don't see anything related to GPU. How do I enable GPU computing? I'm on Linux, running as a service, so it shouldn't be that the process doesn't have access to the GPU.
4) Message boards : Questions : Adding Science United without reinstalling the BOINC client (Message 1548) Posted 19 Jul 2023 by NightBlade Post: I am a big WCG user via BAM (bam.boincstats.com), and would like to switch over to Science United. I see that Science United is listed as a separate account manager. Is there any way to change account managers without reinstalling the client? I'm running on a number of hosts, some of which are problematic to reinstall on (like Arch Linux, which is not really officially supported, and takes a lot of hand-holding to get it working).
