Posted 28 Apr 2006 by old_user91590 Post: If you do have 60 WUs \"in progress\", that means you probably have a lot of used space in your CPDN project folder. As long as you still don\'t have a working WU, go to C:\\Program Files\\BOINC\\projects\\climateprediction.net and simply delete everything in there. Dear PWillener, Read back pls. We know what you talking about. We did it before. Our directories were empty. Our BOINC\'s did not get any WU\'s, though the server shows it sended many of us :(( !! UPDATE !! Hi All, 1. My problem also solved. Yesterday afternoon suddenly a new WU arrived to my computer. 2. My account result state window at CPDN still shows many active WU\'s for me, just like for NOWI, and I also DID NOT GET ANY OF THEM, just like NOWI :)) 3. I think it was a minor khmmm....error at CPDN. They will realize soon the error and correct this. My fellow Crunchers, I wish you to have a nice weekend! Greetings from a rainy Europe :)) Pic |

Posted 27 Apr 2006 by old_user91590 Post: OK. That relates to your post elsewhere. Dear Les, I am sure that this is not NOWI\'s fault. I am an experienced BOINC user and I have a same problem. Believe me it is something else. e.g. If you see the error messages you can see that nowi set 3G space and I set 5G. None of them was enough, though \'Normally\' 2G space is more than enough. I do not know what Nowi did, but I am sure he also archived and/or cleaned his directory just like me. regards, Pic |

Posted 27 Apr 2006 by old_user91590 Post: Hi Les, Thank you for your efforts, but i think it has to be solved by the CPDN guys. I\'ve tried it several times. No effect. I think I will suspend CPDN for a day or two, till they solve this problem. I propose this to the others also. There are plenty other projects too. Same thing happened with SZTAKI cca a month ago. They sent out bad WUs with too long calculation time. I suspended the project and a week later when the problem solved I continued. Its sad, but thats life. Best regards, Pic |

Posted 27 Apr 2006 by old_user91590 Post: It\'s not the number on the server, it\'s the number in your BOINC gui under \"Work\" that matters. I have a same problem. I have NONE in my worktab. BOINC says the same message: \"Not enough disk space\" Previously I\'ve had 2 gig and it was enough. Now I raised, but no effect, see below an example: 4/27/2006 9:59:29 AM|climateprediction.net|Message from server: No work sent 4/27/2006 9:59:29 AM|climateprediction.net|Message from server: (there was work but you don\'t have enough disk space allocated) 4/27/2006 9:59:29 AM|climateprediction.net|Message from server: Not enough disk space (only 4931.1 MB free for BOINC). Review preferences for maximum disk space used. |

Posted 27 Apr 2006 by old_user91590 Post: I think CPDN guys are little bit nervous to solve the model problem and quickly tries serve everybody\'s requests, so they made another fault... :(( Message from the community: Nobody blaims you. Only those ones not produce errors who not doing any job. :)) So, RELAX guys! We trust you! Calm down and do your job in a usual way. Actually: I am also waiting a new WU to arrive. :)) |

Transferring a Saved Boinc folder to a new computer
(Message 17240)
Posted 18 Nov 2005 by old_user91590 Post: SORRY! I made some mistakes in my text. step 0: After the restart I shut down my internet access again. I do not know it was important or not in this case, but it happened that way. step 4: A note: I opened the client_state.xml at the backup folder and edited there. Thats was why I needed a backup of the backup :)) step 5: Of course if I edited my client_state.xml in the backup folder I have to copy this file also to the new installation along with the others. step 5 again: a MAJOR mistake: I do not want anybody to fail so an explanation: - my boinc folder\'s name is \"seti\" - So when I said \"I Copied these files from backup to the new seti folder\" it means \"I Copied these files from backup to the new BOINC folder\" sorry guys :)) |

Posted 18 Nov 2005 by old_user91590 Post: And I hope if I face this reinstallation challenge next time, (not with a broken client), method #2 will work fine. Good news guys! Thanks for your help it seems method #1 worked. What I did? (step by step guide) -1. I went offline and removed boinc 0. After a restart I installed it again. I do not let boinc to run itself. 1. Copied the \"projects\" folder into the new installation from my backup 2. Removed subfolder \"setiathome.berkeley.edu\" (only cpd was left) 3. Backed up client_state.xml (to be sure if I make a mistake under editing) 4. Opened it and removed all sections related to setiathome from it. (be cautious!) 5. Copied these files from backup to the new seti folder: - account_climateprediction.net.xml - global_prefs.xml - master_climateprediction.xml - sched_reply_climateprediction.net.xml - sched_request_climateprediction.net.xml - statistics_climateprediction.net.xml ... than I opened boinc and it is started normally, no error message. ---> It is recognised my climate projects and their status ---> It is recognised the hardware change ---> It is recognised the boinc version change ---> Boinc started a benchmark When boinc finished the benchmark, I put it in \"always running\" mode. It is started calculating normally without error messages. I became more brave so I went on-line and pushed the \"update\" button. Boinc worked fine. Now everything seems OK. To be sure: (You know Its just because my old client was \"broken\". I dunno why, but after a while it is did not requested new WU\'s for seti anymore) - I pushed the button \"no new work\" - i will make a frequent backup - I will not join to other projects to keep it safe - I will wait till I will finish my climate WU\'s - Then I will uninstall boinc and reinstall it and start again my boinc life with a \"clean paper\" Thanks again to everybody for your help. I was writing my steps in details, cause I hope i can help on others too. Good Bye Folks! Pic |

Posted 16 Nov 2005 by old_user91590 Post: Advice #2 is the best course normally. I seem to recall from the other thread that you were having problems with the previous install, that may make it impossible to transfer to a new install. The reason is that everything must be noted in the client_state.xml file so if the problem inculded that file it will always cause problems. OK. Thanks for all of you. OS is the same, with same patches, it is only a new installation. I will try manually adjust the client state.xml, if it not works, I will gave up. Its a shame. I hope they send same WU\'s to more than one people and somebody will complete it. And I hope if I face this reinstallation challenge next time, (not with a broken client), method #2 will work fine. |

Posted 16 Nov 2005 by old_user91590 Post: Can you copy it again from the old computer? I am not a rookie in the IT world, but very green at using Boinc. :)) 1. I was still running a project a several days ago. 2. Than the new hardware stuff arrived, so I shut down the computer, 3. moved the harddrive to the new computer, 4. renamed my boinc data folder to \"old boinc\" 5. copied all the files I need to a safe location incl folder \"old boinc\" 6. I formatted tha system partition 7. A new OS installed with all the applications needed here comes the difficulties... 1. First I was told that i have to install boinc and simply copy old folder content into the new boinc installation. When i asked the \"pro\" boinc users about which files have to be copied and which not, they was not sure. 2. A new advice came: Lets create a Boinc data folder, copy my \"old boinc\" folder into this folder and install the new boinc version into this folder. They said it will overwrite the necessary files and will running normally. It did not. As i said boinc crashed immediately after running benchmark. So before i try the first option also I thought it would be better if i ask the \"collegaues\" about what files are need to be copied in this case. Possible problem sources I identified: - the HW changed, so the old config files I checked are not contain the right information about my HW. - I changed from version 4.43 to version 5.26 - I gave a same name to my new computer like the old one |

Posted 15 Nov 2005 by old_user91590 Post: Hi, I did not made a backup, only saved my boinc folder. I copied it to my new computer because the project was 70% ready. I installed Boinc over this folder. I tried to run it, but boinc crushed immediately. The log says unrecoverable error, missing data, and finally that the project is closed. Is there any way to continue my project on my new computer or accept the fact that I am lost it??? |
