1) Questions and Answers : Macintosh : crash, lost project from project tab (Message 55042) Posted 11 Aug 2008 by catalin Post: Thanks for the quick answer, but I already tried that before posting here... In basic view there's a big splash 'ERROR - Unable to connect to the core client' When I try to press 'add project' button the next message appears: BOINC Manager is not currently connected to a BOINC client. Please use the 'AdvancedSelect Computer...' menu option to connect up to a BOINC client. To connect up to your local computer please use 'localhost' as the host name. The same message appears in the advanced view, after clicking 'tools' and 'attach to project'... My next move was to click on 'Select Computer' from 'Advanced' pulldown menu, but here I'm stuck: there are two fields, 'Host name' and 'password'. First try for host was 'http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta' followed by this message: Connection Failed. BOINC Manager is not able to connect to a BOINC client. Would you like to try to connect again? Not sure though if that was the right choice, next try was with 'localhost', which seems to work, as on the bottom status bar the 'connected' appears in green; but that was the end of it: clicking 'tools' and 'attach to project' brought back the same message: BOINC Manager is not currently connected to a BOINC client. Please use the 'AdvancedSelect Computer...' menu option to connect up to a BOINC client. To connect up to your local computer please use 'localhost' as the host name. That was followed by the 'disconnected' message on the bottom status bar of BOINC Manager... I know I'm doing something wrong, as I have little knowledge in setting up these kind of things, but still wonder why the project and the work units vanished in the first place... Anyway, thanks for your pacience...
2) Questions and Answers : Macintosh : crash, lost project from project tab (Message 55028) Posted 10 Aug 2008 by catalin Post: Hi, wonder if you can help me - after a crash (power failure), at the next launch the boinc client had no more the rosetta project in the "project tab list". In other words, I "lost" the project and the work unit in progress. Also, the "statistics" and "disk usage" are blank, as if I never had this project on my machine... Might be a silly question, but since I haven'd done this in years by now, really can't remember how to reattach the project under my client (now it's like I just dowloaded the boinc client for the first time, with no history related). Also, the client informs me I'm disconected - not sure what to do, my connection works just fine (it's permanent and with a large band). Some help in reattaching the project would be much appreciated, with many thanks in advance :-) PS - using a PowerBook G4, 1,67MzH, 2Gb RAM, OSX Panther (10.3.9)
3) Message boards : Rosetta@home Science : DISCUSSION of Rosetta@home Journal (2) (Message 20243) Posted 15 Jul 2006 by catalin Post: Your computer is overcommitted, so it went into earliest deadline first (edf) mode. It stops getting new work until it thinks it can handle them all before their deadlines hit. If you want to work on rosetta, pause the climate model for a couple seconds, it will download rosetta wu's, then restart the climate model and it'll do them both. It works just fine now, thanks!
4) Message boards : Rosetta@home Science : DISCUSSION of Rosetta@home Journal (2) (Message 20191) Posted 14 Jul 2006 by catalin Post: We desperately need as much CPU power as possible for the next two weeks... Here's my problem: I already have a project from climateprediction running just fine on my computer, but every time I try to get some new work from Rosetta, Boinc Manager doesn't seem to react - I hit the update button, read the "scheduler request pending" message for three minutes and... that's it - no result, no new work downloaded, from last month... The other project is working just fine, as I said... so I can't blame the manager for it... What might be the issue...? Thanks in advance.
