Yes re-attaching worked for me too. Also I reattached 2 other hosts successfully via BoincView. I'll try the problematic host again just for grins, after it's finished its current wu.

Same black screensaver as others have reported.

Detaching worked. Re-attaching did not work via BoincView ... for some reason it couldn't see that I had a host that was no longer attached. However when I went over to the box and used the boinc client to re-attach locally, it worked.

So, you might not care about the behavior with BoincView except that it still works for other projects, and for those with farms remote admin is necessary (though there are other options than BV)


All the above is on Windows XP(32) SP3 using client 5.10.45.
Haven't received any mac-intel work yet.

Just finished my first 5.04 wu. Yes it took about half the time as before on my HT P4, and also claimed half the credit it used to claim. I assume this is what was expected. Nice optimization. Looking forward to when server-assigned credit can happen.

If voting betweeen what's shown with no changes: Atomic Booty.

However, also agree that Atomic Booty's design's background could be a tad less busy, and the font from Cori looks nicer.

I can see linux crunching is being tested now, but was surprised to get "work committed to other platforms" throughout the weekend, and now into Monday. Any time frame for more Windows work?

Yep, I see it all the time too. I can understand it happening when there's no other work queued for those projects, but it seems to do it all the time. Almost as if whatever time period you've requested is being applied PER PROJECT instead of to the client as a whole...


I've never seen work requests behave any other way, at least in the last several revs of BOINC. It's always annoyed me because it tends to put BOINC in EDF when, imo, it shouldn't. Specifically, if BOINC requests work from a project (i.e. no EDF, uptime or LTD obstacles) -- and if that project has no work already queued on the host, I've never seen BOINC ask for less than a full cache of work for that project. No matter what else is queued for other projects. Assumed it was a "feature" as it's been true for so long.

another P4 HT on XP, 3.0 GHz, took 3:17
so all of 10 min slower than my older P4 HT 3.2
