BOINC 7.0.28 is now the RECOMMENDED version for Windows, Mac and Linux.
(Message 1254570)
Posted 324 days ago by Keith T.
I found the release date as a Recommended version http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/VersionHistory shows this as 29 June '12. The download page shows the release date as 21 May, which I think was the Beta release. I thought new recommended versions usually got announced officially rather than in forum posts, but I might be wrong about that. [NOTE TO MODS] Please could this thread be made Sticky for a few days, as many 7.0.25 users have complained of problems. [/NOTE TO MODS] |

Glad to see you got it working Mark. For anyone else or Mark who has similar problems of only being able to boot to a command prompt, and only being familiar with GUI than ZTreeWin could be the answer. http://www.ztree.com/html/download.htm is based on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XTreeGold which was around for many years in the DOS era.  ZtreeWin is usable as a 31 day trial version, then $29.95 to use it beyond the trial period. [Edited IMG to fit in 1024 pixel screen width.] |

This should be news for those who don't like to run Beta versions of BOINC. http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download_all.php Not sure when it happened, but I noticed on another project forum (Rosetta) that 7.0.28 is now Recommended. It seems to have slipped out "under the radar" over the last few days, as there does not seem to have been an announcement on BOINC or project News but 7.0.28 is now the recommended version for: Windows x86 Windows 64 bit Linux x86 Linux 64 bit Mac OS X (Intel) I have been running 7.0.28 since 25 May (released 15 May as Beta), as I was having work fetch problems with 7.0.25 Keith. |

Still 37 Astropulse V5 results stuck in the pipe. The last one was reported around 6th June. I think these must need some manual intervention by project staff to validate and purge. NC thread http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=67920 refers to this. Keith. |

Smartphone crunching
(Message 1233378)
Posted 368 days ago by Keith T.
If a phone is capable of running "Angry Birds" or similar apps without lagging then it should be capable of some productive crunching for some BOINC projects. It will probably not be worth the effort, but what happened to the spirit of adventure, of trying something new? I own a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTC_Wildfire, which is a low budget Android phone with only 384MB RAM, 512 MB onboard storage, 528 MHz CPU. The http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTC_Desire it's big brother from 2010 is much more capable, with 576 MB RAM, 512 MB storage, 1 GHz CPU, and a separate GPU. (Specs taken from Wikipedia). My phone really lags when running more than a few apps at the same time (gave up on Angry Birds, too laggy), but I'm still running SETI on an AMD Athlon XP 2200+, and a Samsung Netbook. Both of these devices are low spec hardware in modern terms, but I still chose to run SETI and about 4 other BOINC projects regularly. I people want to try something new, on low spec devices, I don't think they should be denied or derided for trying. |

Panic Mode On (74) Server problems?
(Message 1233100)
Posted 369 days ago by Keith T.
I suspect some of the drive volumes were unreachable by the download servers shortly before everything shut down. Are all the servers on the same UPS ? I hope they are on the case. Someone seems to have cancelled some WU's before they reached the Max # of errors. e.g this one http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/workunit.php?wuid=992536710 which still has 2 tasks in progress, but has been cancelled. I thought there were more than one UPS for all those boxes, I suspect the drive arrays may have gone down before the servers due to the higher power requirement of all those spinning motors. |

This WU looks like it'll be fun. _0 and _1 both failed on download. _2 managed to get it, supposedly. _3 and _4 (me) failed on download. _5 is unsent at the moment. I suspect some of the drive volumes were unreachable by the download servers shortly before everything shut down. Are all the servers on the same UPS ? |

I tried to post to the Lunatics forums during the recent outage, and found that "That username does not exist." My email address is also listed as not known. Tried to re-register "Sorry, registration is currently disabled." How do I get back onto the forums ? |

Well done to all. Uploads, reporting and Downloads are all working here. Even SETI Beta is working ! I noticed that SSL is over 50 years old now, are the cables a similar age ? |
