The Messages in the BOINCmgr only show current session and only the last 2mb, by default. The FAQ link in Jean's post explains how/where to retrieve older log entries.

Sgt.Joe, I think this date is normal if nothing has been changed in the General preferences.

Vep, in addition to a few lines around error messages from your log (current or past) it would be good to also have the contents of a few error logs for WUs from different projects. You can see these error logs by clicking on "Erreur" from your "Etat des résultats".

By the way you can recognize projects from the name of WUs as follows.
Names starting with
- lz... are for HPF2
- X... are for HCC
- R... are for Rice
- faah... are for FAAH
- dddt... are for DDDT.

Sorry to ask you for more material but your last post is good and bad news altogether: the good news is that everything looks OK in the starting log you have provided, the bad news is that we will have to look for something more tricky.

Cheers. Jean.

hmmm, some people have reported problems with their client when the internet connection drops off. Try crunching with a cache/additional buffer of 1 day and a client network schedule of e.g. 30 minutes for example from 16:00-16:30. Set the client in the Activity menu to Run per Preference and Network per Preference. That will result in the client only trying to get internet connection during half an hour, sending the day's results back and fetching a new day of tasks.

I think some of these problems are fixed in BOINC v 6.2. at least, not read of this particular event for a longer while since 6.2 is out (not yet recommended by WCG).

BOINC uses the localhost / 127.0.0.1 IP only for local comms between the components. Installing as service running BOINC.exe only and not loading BOINCmgr cuts out some of the trouble and of course not using the BOINC screensaver as again that uses local comms (RPC) to talk to the core client (BOINC.exe)

Hi vep,
Sounds like it is time to raze your laptop.

Tell it to stop accepting new work. After you have cleared out your cache, uninstall BOINC. Then delete your BOINC directory. THEN install BOINC 5.10.45 as vep.

That should work!

Hello,

It did work eventually.
After abandoning all work, I tried to detach from work in the Projects. After returning there later, all projects were active again !?
Nevertheless, I erased BOINC-wcg from the programs, via the configuration panel.
After that, I did a search for BOINC with the search item.
13 bits and pieces of BOINC's appeared.
I deleted all of it, even if, for some pieces, my PC told me it couldn't be deleted. A while later, they disappeared anyway.

Finally, I reinstated BONIC-wcg.
After a while the new device, called VEP appeared in vep's devices list.

Thanks for the help.

Paul
