Does anybody has new information on Boinc (Rosetta) screen-saver stability? Presently it shows no graphics... :-(
(Conf.: I7, 8Gb, W7_64, Nvidea card)

The version for 3.19 always fails for me. The version for 3.20 is supposed to fix this, but I haven't tried it you. See the separate threads for 3.19 and 3.20.

All we can get is a static black screen showing scientific sub-frames involved ('showing', 'accepted', 'low energy', etc.) but...with no active figures at all.

Interesting ... Do you know what work units you are working on when you see visible panels but no content? The intermittentcy that JohnB indicates points to a possible per-work-unit issue (you get the blank screens for some work units, but not for others). As we need to insert hooks into protocols to get the screensaver to update, some of the workunits may be using a new protocol which might not have been properly updated with those hooks, and so the screensaver runs but doesn't show any data.

Hello (particularly to Message 72113 - Posted 13 Jan 2012 19:30:10 UTC - in response to Message ID 72108.)

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...?

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.
