I'll give it a go - thank you. Now where's the alpha release?! <checking BOINC site>

Its over on the BOINC site, but I don't have the address handy. It won't be on the download part, you have to go into another page. Hopefully someone can post it. It has all the versions on it. Ill see if someone posts it otherwise ill try and dig through and find it.

That's a distinct possibility. Thanks!

My app_info.xml has many entries relating to <version_num>, there's individual entries starting at 512, going up to 515. The last of these reads:

- <app_version>
<app_name>setiathome_enhanced</app_name>
<version_num>515</version_num>
- <file_ref>
<file_name>setiathome-5.15-kwsn-sse2-p4.exe</file_name>
<main_program />
</file_ref>
</app_version>

Do I add another to include 517, or amend one of them? I'm not sure what effect this would have and don't want to screw things up even more!

There is 2 things you can do. 1 is to change one of your entries in your app_info.xml file to have 517 in it, or, you can download an alpha release of the BOINC client, at least 5.5.13 or higher, and that will cure the problem. I am currently running 5.5.13, and I had this same problem. I did the alpha version upgrade to cure it. Hope that helps.

I don't claim to be a definitive source on app_info.xml files, but I think my judgement would be:

If you have any cached WUs or work in progress, add an extra section. Copy an entire block, and just change the version number.

If, as in your case, you have no current WUs (e.g. because of errors/outage/deliberate cache run-down), why not take the opportunity to do a bit of housekeeping and take out everything except a reference to the 517 you need to match the (current) beta. When collecting new work, I think the BOINC/SETI conversation only concerns itself with the highest version number in the .XML

[edit] and remember this conversation - you'll need to edit everything again if/when either beta or mainstream moves on to v518 [/edit]

That's a distinct possibility. Thanks!

I was wondering if someone could help me out here. I'm getting the following errors when communicating with the SETI servers:

15/09/2006 10:58:45|SETI@home|State file error: no application version setiathome_enhanced 517
15/09/2006 10:58:45|SETI@home|Can't handle task 13jn02aa.6561.22913.561076.3.13 in scheduler reply
15/09/2006 10:58:45|SETI@home|State file error: no application version setiathome_enhanced 517

15/09/2006 10:58:45|SETI@home|State file error: no application version setiathome_enhanced 517

And this results in me receiving no work due to:

15/09/2006 11:09:01|SETI@home|Message from server: No work sent
15/09/2006 11:09:01|SETI@home|Message from server: (reached daily quota of 100 results)
15/09/2006 11:09:01|SETI@home|No work from project

Any ideas what this is and how I can fix it? One of my boxes did have a drive error that caused a computational error on a load of units - but its not this box that the errors are appearing on.

Cheers.

You're a 'Volunteer tester' (beta user), and your messages reference app version 517.

Could you be having the problems described in this thread?
