I've set in 'Computer summary' location as 'Work' but after 'Update' command BOINC client shows in 'Messages': "General prefs: no separate prefs for home; using your defaults"
Why BOINC 4.19 cannot correctly detect computer location?
Restart BOINC && calling 'Update' command again doesn't helps.

Changing loaction in 'Computer summary', I ascertain that this setting ignored by BOINC client.


It's very impotent for me, 'cause I need different settings for work && home.

This problem is a known bug of the actual Boinc CC.

A future version should correct this problem.

A way to make it working is described here.

To use with precaution. Backup before making changes !

Read the News at the homepage
Have a look at the Technical News
Look if your question is not answered at the Boinc Wiki

Best greetings, Thierry
