Hi

Just installed bionic again after a system reinstall and got them rolling again but I noticed tonight that things seem to not be updating just keeps saying things are pending. Did I set something up wrong? Seems other projects are working just seti. Maybe just need to give it time but wondering?

Also is there a way to change the project in the screen saver? It use to be seti but since I added a few additional projects to help on it's changed to another project. So can I change it back to Seti for the screen saver?

The screen saver shows the project that is actually running right now (on multiple CPU systems, it picks one). BOINC runs one task per CPU to avoid context switch overhead and thrashing as much as possible. So when you added extra projects BOINC will switch between them occasionally. The default is 60 minutes, but it can be changed. Anything less than about 10 minutes will probably start causing your machine to slow processing down over all as tasks from some projects can require several minutes to spin up and start processing well. Based on your description, I would guess that BOINC is behaving normally.

If you believe there is still a problem, post some relevant messages from the message log to let us see what is happening on your machine.

There are several places. I got mine from my team. They can also be gotten at [url=http://www.boincstats.com] and other places.
