1) Message boards : Number crunching : Minirosetta 3.20 (Message 72200) Posted 21 Jan 2012 by bevjo01 Post: I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this problem with the screen saver in version 3.20? I'm participating in several projects including R@H. Sometimes the BOINC client screen saver will present a message during transition to a different project "BOINC has experienced an unknown problem". Then instead of presenting the R@H screen saver I see a blank screen and two icons on the task bar. One of the icons appears to be "Rosetta-like" but there's nothing to identify it as such. The other icon is clearly the BOINC client. The odd thing is that at other times the R@H screen saver presents ok. So I'm wondering if there might be a problem at different phases of processing the WU or something else. All of the other projects I'm running seem to present ok. I haven't noticed any issues during the transition for anything else. I'm running Windows 7 Home Professional on a vanilla Intel desktop. Is there a log file that I can enable for R@H (as opposed to the BOINC Event log) that might help me get better data for you? JohnB

So you think there is no solution, for now, to minirosetta_graphics_3.13_windows_x86_64.exe misbehaviour, at least as a screen saver...? D_Azevedo The recently released 3.20 update should fix the problems people were having with the graphics and screensavers. Your boinc client should automatically fetch the update to the applications when it next contacts the server. I've noticed that the Rosetta screensaver seems to be running now. I'm not sure if it's running correctly all of the time however. I've noticed that some of the time I'll have a blank screen with 2 icons presenting on the task bar. One icon seems to represent the Rosetta application (I'm guessing) and the other is clearly the BOINC client. It appears that my system is processing Rosetta data as well. So whatever is happening with the screensaver isn't preventing the wU from being processed. I don't have much more information than that. Version 3.2 seems to have addressed the screensaver crashing and at least some of the time presents the graphics. I'll let you know if I observe anything else. JohnB
3) Message boards : Number crunching : Problems and Technical Issues with Rosetta@home (Message 72108) Posted 13 Jan 2012 by bevjo01 Post: I was wondering if anyone has experienced a problem with the R@H screensaver? When I initially installed BOINC I joined R@H, SETI@H and ClimatePrediction. All of which have interesting screen saver displays. At some point the R@H screen saver stopped being displayed although the miniroseta task was running. Once the server problems were resolved my R@H WU were being processed and the other two projects screen savers were running ok. But I still am not seeing R@H on my computer. I'm running Windows 7 Home Professional and have the latest version of BOINC installed. JohnB
