I was able to download 7.2 on RHEL 6.6 from http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/2...94cc8.el6.x86_64.rpm.html
----------------------------------------Doing a yum localinstall resolved dependencies and it is working great. This is the client and command line only - not manager. ![]() |

To be clear, since we haven't stated this yet.
----------------------------------------You can fix this issue by upgrading a 7.2 version of the client. See http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/reg/ms/viewDownloadAgain.do for the latest versions we recommend. [Edit 2 times, last edit by knreed at Jul 13, 2015 5:23:29 PM] |

Our old certificate doesn't expire until July 29th. We have gone ahead and reverted to that certificate to allow impacted users to upload their results.
Please note that we will be moving to our new certificates next Monday (July 20th) so this is only to allow users who have systems that can't upgrade to send their last results in. We are going to write something up and put it into the News that summarizes what has already been posted in this thread so that it can be seen more widely. Thanks for everyone's help, testing and reporting. |

Thanks for allowing us to upload/report. Would there be a way for you to identify and prevent downloads to affected machines? If not the same problem with uploads will occur on the 20th.

Unfortunately, we can't precisely pinpoint the impacted devices and match that to devices and block them.
We are going to recommend people to 1) Upgrade if they can 2) If they can't, they should use the manager or the boinccmd tool (http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Boinccmd_tool) to stop fetching new work They can also just let their device run until we switch the certificates again and then shut it down (leaving some results unreported) after we are using the new certificates again. We are using the old certificate for another week to simply let those users who noticed and had work in progress be able to finish gracefully. The number of impacted devices is fairly small. We will be trying to get a better estimate tomorrow once they have returned some results again (it will be an estimate though and not precise for the same reasons that we can't block them from getting work) |

<min_core_client_version_announced> N </min_core_client_version_announced>
----------------------------------------Announce a new version of the BOINC core client, which in the future will be the minimum required version. In conjunction with the next tag, you can warn users with version below this to upgrade by a specified deadline. The version number is encoded as 10000*major + 100*minor + release. <min_core_client_upgrade_deadline> N </min_core_client_upgrade_deadline> Use in conjunction with the previous tag. The value given here is the Unix epoch returned by time(2) until which hosts can update their core client. After this time, they may be shut out of the project. Before this time, they will receive messages warning them to upgrade.

I'd forgotten about that. Thanks for bringing it up. We will have to think about that though. 6.10.58 is fine on Windows but not on Linux. We might be able to tag just below the last version that works and warning everyone below that level (I think 6.10.41 but I'll test tomorrow). This will at least help get the message out broader.

Hi.
I'm using 7.0.27 on my one Ubuntu 12.04lts rig & I haven't seen any of these problems yet, do you think I'll have to update it as well? |

Thanks for the hints above... and the certificate temporary change
----------------------------------------Uploaded all my work that had been held - only one WU too late Was able to update all Linux systems except one to boinc-client-7.2.33-3 - hope that will be high enough version. For the remaining I was forced to :- Install git and all the compilation/development tools download source from Berkeley using git autosetup, configure, make and make install using the relevant parameters as per web-site fortunately successful as I'm sure I don't have the skill to debug now running Version 7.7.0 x86_64-pc-linux-gnu on that machine and the first few completed WUs have validated OK ![]()
