It's currently 4:30pm on Friday afternoon, their time. It's not looking good ahead of the weekend. No sooner do I write that and everything's now showing green on the Server page From now on, would you please make that post on Wednesday afternoon. If only I could rely on that. I'm quite prepared to try it as early as possible each Friday - like at 00:05 Well, a very strange thing has happened. boinc-process server is back running and the validation backlog is fully cleared already. We've barely reached Thursday morning UK time. I'm slightly disconcerted now tbh. Everything I thought I knew has been turned upside down. I shouldn't complain, but it's part of my character by now... ID: 112264 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Where are those error messages being shown?

Seems the message of the screensaver... I get this all the time also, I typically see it in the morning after not working on the computer. I will say it started after a MBO change. I've tried uninstalling and installing BOINC a couple of times and it hasn't helped. I haven't tried resetting the Rosetta project. If I just leave the computer idle for the screen saver timeout time, it seems to launch normally and I see the graphics. BTW, I still had SETI@HOME in my config, but deleted that completely and it didn't help. Rosetta@home is the only project. If I completely delete it and try to add it, I don't lose any credits, correct? I know I have to update first... ID: 112267 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Things are still very much broken- the amount of work In progress continues to fall, as does the number of Tasks processed per 24hrs. Heaps of work available, but no one (or pretty much no one) can get any of it. I'm not disagreeing, but where are you seeing that? On the main page. The Grafana graphs make it even easier to see what's going on. Whatever was broken appears to be working again- work In progress is climbing, the amount of work being returned each 24hrs is also increasing again.
