Panic Mode On (103) Server Problems?
(Message 1809774)
Posted 17 Aug 2016 by (banished: ID 118309) Post: I've found it's not just the problem with sending/receiving WU's to/from S@H, but also a few other websites that simply timeout and won't load at all. Strangest thiung. Hopefully it's just some stupid thing the ISP is up to and temporary. |

Panic Mode On (103) Server Problems?
(Message 1809378)
Posted 15 Aug 2016 by (banished: ID 118309) Post: I was finally able to receive WU's (and send) and get BOINC actually working by turning on my VPN. Is this problem of not being able to 'connect' to S@H a internet-wide virus, or some kind of sudden special thing ISP's are doing for some stupid reason (my ISP is Hughes Net satellite, btw, and has never given me trouble like this in the four years I've been using it and crunching numbers).? |

Posted 15 Aug 2016 by (banished: ID 118309) Post: I did notice the negative credit in BOINCStats and I wonder if it's related to a situation I've been experiencing since at least about 21:00 UTC on 13th August. From my home network I have had no access to S@h - or anywhere else on berkeley.edu for that matter. But checking at my parents' place that same day (about 02:00 UTC 14th August) and also at my work office just now (20:00 UTC 14th August), I see no issues with berkeley.edu so I'm wondering if there's some routing problem somewhere between my home network and Berkeley. I also can't seem to get my boinc client to connect to get or send WU's since the 13th. No matter what I do nothing happens. Here's what my event log gives me: Mon 15 Aug 2016 08:35:13 AM CDT | | Project communication failed: attempting access to reference site Mon 15 Aug 2016 08:35:13 AM CDT | SETI@home | Scheduler request failed: Failure when receiving data from the peer Mon 15 Aug 2016 08:35:15 AM CDT | | Internet access OK - project servers may be temporarily down. |

Observation of CreditNew Impact
(Message 1382313)
Posted 17 Jun 2013 by (banished: ID 118309) Post: Every time a new version comes out its the same story. Every time Dr A. changes the way credit is granted its still the same story. Some peolpe quit, Most complain. That works! I mean hell, one's gotta be one whiny baby to worry so much when you *know* that it's all going to average out again *anyway*. Hell...the slow computers are slowing down also, so what's the BFD?! |

Posted 3 Mar 2013 by (banished: ID 118309) Post: @msattler - You should post War & Peace next time. @big pic posters in general - There's still folk who are on dial-up that really are trying to help seti@home, but when they run into stuff like big pic's and book-length posts, it's disheartening and especially so when they really, really want to ask for help or even post a few lines and be as inane as too many on the forums who forget they have fat pipes and tend to go overboard with what they post. Yeah, 216Kb don't seem like nothin' - to someone with dsl or satellite - but get your butt's back on dial-up and let's see you *NOT* complain about many of the things posted that just don't have to be. It's okay to hate me now for being so brutally honest...I'm used to it since most people I've run into simply can't handle honesty and my kind of honesty especially (in other words, don't ask me what I think of what you're wearing or how you look or if your car is shiny enough if you don't want to hear anything but sugar-coated white lies). |

What model/brand of UPS are you using
(Message 1342776)
Posted 3 Mar 2013 by (banished: ID 118309) Post: BackUPS Pro 500. It's old as dirt but works beautifully and my battery lasts almost exactly 5 years +/- a week or two, and where I live is out in the woods and our power lines and poles are old, old, old so we are constantly getting small and short brownouts and blackouts and during big storms it's pretty much a guarantee to lose power for an hour or five. This UPS has saved my system many a time and the app for linux I use, apcupsd, works perfectly too. |

Posted 11 May 2012 by (banished: ID 118309) Post: Thanks guys. Looks like I'd also need to install a newer gtk+ (and all the deps for it) and I'm on dialup so it just isn't worth all the hassle just to run a newer version of BOINC when this older one is working fine. Appreciate the help though, thanks again. |

Posted 9 May 2012 by (banished: ID 118309) Post: This is the message I get on Slackware 13.37 with the 7.0.27 BOINC: ----- ./boincmgr: error while loading shared libraries: libnotify.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory ----- What package has this libnotify.so.4? Until that gets figured out, 6.12.34 is working fine, I just hate all the time the 'notices' I keep getting to download the latest. |
