For some reason Pirates has taken over Seti in BOINC. Do I have to detach from the second Pirates? Hate to lose 4 wu's.

Not sure what you mean by the first above statement. Pirates does not do any real scientific work anyway, so why worry about 4 of their WUs?

Sometime projects report the wrong names. You may have to finish up those WUs and reset the project, but first; try closing the boinc mgr (not just to the taskbar) for a bit, and then re-starting it.

Hey Tim, you responded to the wrong post. ThePhantom86 is the one seeking info about Pirates. I don't and won't crunch Pirates.

After upgrading to Boinc CC4.26.
My Projects tab showed:

Einstein@home
LHC@home
LHC@home (should be Pirates@home)
LHC@home (should be PPAH)
Seti@home

Even the WUs read wrong like:

LHC@home Mfold B125 4.24 etc

I tried everything, but only Detach/reattached worked. I reported the Bug to the Devs.

noted;

I was just pointing out that those were seti units he had running, not pirates units (look at the application being used to crunch the units). Sometimes Boinc misreports the project name, and you'll have 2 projects with the same name show up in your list.

Was just responding to the thread in general, but also to your post -- those are, and no matter what name the mgr reports, will be seti units (unless it reports being crunched with pirates software).

It showed Pirates as the project but using the Seti app to crunch. I was just asking if there was a way to fix this so the wu's wouldn't go to waste.

You can "disable boinc network access" until the units are finished crunching, set yout cache to "0," and then report your units and detatch/re-attach to seti.

Tried to report them, didn't work. Said it was missing account key so I just detached and reattached.

Please also report the version of BOINC you are running.

4.25, Windows system.

Same thing happened to me in one host. It is attached to SETI & CPDN. Boinc 4.25, W2K

All the Seti units appeared as CPDN units.

The problem was that some parts of the Seti section of the client_state.xml got overwritten by CPDN data. These are the places where it happened:

"master_url"http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/"/master_url"

"scheduler_url"http://setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/sah_cgi/cgi"/scheduler_url"
"code_sign_key"

1) It changed the project name
2) added a new sheduler_url line

I edited the project name and deleted the extra scheduler line and all worked again.

This is a known issue, and should be fixed in 4.28. Meanwhile, you can do a bit of surgery on the client_state.xml file. I believe that you will find an extraneous <scheduler_url> tag with the offending project. The correct project should be the next line.

Instructions:
Stop BOINC
edit the client_state.xml file
Remove the offending line(s)
save
start BOINC.

Let me know how it comes out.

Thanks rsisto and John McLeod VII. It happened again on another computer and this fixed it.
