Hello. I have 3 tasks that completed but did not upload due to the problems yesterday. I went ahead and updated the BOINC agent, using Ubuntu's package tool. This did not upgrade my existing install since I had manually set it up under my home directory.
The update client is up and running but those 3 tasks still show in the device's online status as "In Progress". The upgrade install created a new machine so I'd like to report the completed tasks from the "old" machine before deleting it. The older installation no longer shows the tasks ready for reporting so I can't upload them by running the older version. - John |

Unless you're proficient in backup/copying/permissions settings/stopping starting daemons', I'd suggest you just let it be and let the server scheduler take care of reissue when these tasks expire... speak cut your losses or risk funking up things.
Theoretically, if you stop the service, copy the old data dir to the new and restart the service, you might be able to recover the old instance. Theoretically you could also temporarily restart the old client, upload, whilst prior to setting work fetch to no. Reset the project to clear all and then restart the new client. --//-- |
