A known issue with Lion... reinstall BOINC and it will work fine again.
See thread http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread_thread,31502 for prior discussion. --//-- |

Confirmed, I upgraded Snow Leopard to Lion and installed 6.12.33 from Berkley and all is working. All uncompleted WUs continued processing without a hitch.

For some months, I have been processing WCG tasks with two PCs, one a Phenom II X 4, the other an Athlon II X 2, both running under Linux distro Mint Julia 10. I have upgraded the Athlon II machine to use a Phenom II X 6 processor. I used the same computer name for the new machine as I used for the old machine and now cannot add WCG to my project list. All other projects - malaria, simap, poem, rosetta, etc. run fine on the new machine. Does anyone have any suggestions how I can again process WCG tasks on the new machine as I want to dedicate all 10 processors to WCG projects. Oh, BTW, I am new to Linux and not yet conversant with the lingo.

Hi John,
This thread is about the Mac Lion OS... Linux kind of not on topic ;>) The key difference between all your other projects and WCG is that it requires port 443 to be open for a secure connection, but not heard that even prevents attaching to WCG, rather it causing work fetch issues. I understand that some Linux distros have a firewall on by default, so that's probably where you'd have to look. If you used the same device name [stored in the hostname file], it is no issue to WCG. If WCG thinks it's the same computer it will continue to add contribution to the stats of the same device, else it will create a new ID, and you'll be seeing 2 devices in your devices statistics at WCG. --//-- |

Thank you. I have solved the problem under Linux by again and again restarting the BOINC Manager. Win7 still cannot connect, but as this my backup os, I will leave it alone for now. crunching, crunching, crunching. AMD Ryzen 5 2600 6-core Processor with Windows 11 64 Pro.

If you have a router/modem or both, power them down for a minute to shake the ISP tree and consider to program your router, if it can be done [mine can] to activate DHCP with ''reserved'' IP for each of your computers. This way in dual boot, your machine always gets the same internal LAN IP assigned.

Just had mail from developers to say the Lion fit version of BOINC being tested currently has been upped to 6.12.35. The 6.12.34 Alpha had issues in excerpt:
I have released BOINC 6.12.35 for the Mac alpha testing. This fixes a couple more bugs for Mac OS 10.7 Lion: - An installer bug which sometimes caused BOINC to say it had a permissions error. - A bug which caused Lion to open BOINC's windows on system restart. The changes since 6.12.34 are for the Macintosh only. Please continue testing 6.12.34 on Windows and Linux. With your help, we would like to get it tested and released as soon as possible |

I became a BOINC member AFTER installing Lion. So I installed Lion 2 weeks ago and then tried to install a NEW BOINC set up last week. I downloaded the BOINC manager from this website last week. I then installed. No problems so far. I made sure that my Firewall did not block the agent/manager. I then launched the BOINC manager. Result: Spinning Beach Ball of Death and Application Failure. I then rebooted, uninstalled BOINC, deleted data and prefs files, downloaded again, and then reinstalled. Same result. Have now reinstalled 3x and same result. Tried asking World Community Grid support but they simply refer me here. Can anyone help me before I give up?
