1) How do I get rid of this "stuck" WU so that the computer can be deleted as a host? http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=98779624 http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/results.php?hostid=2413882 It's approaching a year now... 2) My computers are set to be shown on the SETI site yet the "BOINC combined stats" site reports them as hidden for SETI@home. http://boinc.netsoft-online.com/get_user.php?cpid=798be406b284605b3afb6bec5e868bd1&html=1 As usual, Einstein and Rosetta work fine. I've tried resetting the flag in my SETI account to no avail. Any solution? Thanks in advance! |

1) How do I get rid of this "stuck" WU so that the computer can be deleted as a host? AFTER the host has no units or credits pending the option to delte the host will show up, not before. There is a thread about 6+ month old units, you may want to post your unit there. 2) My computers are set to be shown on the SETI site yet the "BOINC combined stats" site reports them as hidden for SETI@home. Obviously something isn't going right, did you update the computer after you changed the setting? Did you give the site time to make the change? It does not happen overnight, it is a computer not a person making the change. When the schedule it is on tells it to update your account it will do it, and hopefully get it right. As usual, Einstein and Rosetta work fine. I've tried resetting the flag in my SETI account to no avail. Any solution? Irrevelent, they are different projects run by different folks. Berkeley supplied the software, each project takes care of running their own. |

1) How do I get rid of this "stuck" WU so that the computer can be deleted as a host? 1) Thanks for the advice, now posted here: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=20019 2) Have done this several times and so far no go :-( 3) Not exactly irrelevant, as both of the above projects have researchers who actually respond to concerns and fix problems. In my 7+ year experience with SETI@home, that is not the case here. Maybe it will change someday. |
