Sharp Post: Host 813251 has an incompatible CPU: (GenuineIntel Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz [x86 Family 6 Model 42 Stepping 7] I have exactly the same CPU crunching a model now so I assure you it isn't incompatible in the sense that it isn't capable of running the CPDN science app. I wager you got that message after trying to merge hosts in your list of computers. Since it says GenuineIntel Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU T7600 @ 2.33GHz [x86 Family 6 Model 15 Stepping 6]) in the same sentence as the i7-2600 I think it's trying to tell you the host with the i7 cannot be merged with the host with the T7600 because they have different CPUs, i.e. they're incompatible. I see a T7600 in your list of computers so it makes sense. So a great CPU in a host with a palindrome ID... it's gotta work! <grin/> I LOVE everything about my machine. I saw the 909909 number and actually was pleased because it was making it easy for me to remember but did not realized that it was palindromic. My wife would have recognized it instantly but... What is the significance of merging hosts? How are host numbers assigned? Since I have this one, I would hate to change. *909909* just rolls off of the finger tips. Thanks for allowing my machine to try processing tasks again.

Sharp Post: Dagorath @ Robert, Your problem sounds like this problem discussed recently on the BOINC dev forums. Also, it doesn't help when you say you've installed "the latest" version as there are a few "latest" versions. It's best to leave no ambiguity and give the actual version number. It's much easier to give you advice that way. I had read this independently, had un-installed, re-installed, repaired permissions, reinstalled and finally launched boinc manager. I checked back about an hour later and posted again. A few minutes ago, I saw Les Bayless' posting regarding how to access our account info and did so. I also found several other of Les' posts. So, I have now read (I hope.) all of the sticky links. To the both of you, Question: When clicking the various links, I found this information: Host 813251 has an incompatible CPU: (GenuineIntel Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz [x86 Family 6 Model 42 Stepping 7], GenuineIntel Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU T7600 @ 2.33GHz [x86 Family 6 Model 15 Stepping 6]) Host 1122714 has an incompatible CPU: (GenuineIntel Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz [x86 Family 6 Model 42 Stepping 7], GenuineIntel Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU T7600 @ 2.33GHz [x86 Family 6 Model 15 Stepping 6]) Since this represents my current machine (but with host # 909909) and the last thousand (several thousand?) of my tasks have been aborted after less than 30 seconds am I wasting your database space, your server time, my cpu cycles? I have followed all of the suggestions here (checked permissions, un-installed, re-installed, disconnected, reconnected, reset project).

Sharp Post: Ok, installed boinc 6.12.35, ran permission repair, re-installed 6.12.35, added myself to manager and project using sudo dscl . -merge /groups/boinc_manager ... boinc_project users This allowed me to run the application Boinc Manager.app. I reset climateprediction.net Bob

I can not say that anything is fixed as when I try to run the BOINC manager, I get the error that I do not have permission to run the app and to re-run the installer and to answer yes the question regarding non-administrative ... I have tried three times. I have never had an issue like this before. I am going off line to run a permissions repair. If that doesn't work, I am going to have to dig into the terminal and find instructions on how to add myself to the managers group.

Please include this link so that we may more easily find your computer: http://climateapps2.oerc.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/show_host_detail.php?hostid=909909 When you have applied the fix please post to say so. Until the problem is fixed no more work will be sent to your computer.
