I believe I have found that the WorldCommunityGrid application on my computer is possibly interfering with a bug already present in macOS Catalina (with the [Intel] GPU (Graphics Processing Unit): Constant Kernel Panics – userspace watchdog t...om com.apple.WindowServer ).
----------------------------------------Restarts (at least once per day) caused by a kernel panic seem to take place in connection with the WorldCommunityGrid application because since I uninstalled it, my computer is fine. However, I had set the WCG application so that it does not use the GPU. This interference should therefore not have occurred. I use the latest version of macOS Catalina (10.15.4) on a Mac mini (late 2012). [Edit 2 times, last edit by Tchang7 at May 17, 2020 11:39:50 AM] |

Though the techs wrote their 7.14.5 release backported all the fixes from the 7.16.n version you might want to try the non-skinned Berkeley release
----------------------------------------https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/boinc_7.16.6_macOSX_x86_64.zip https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/boinc_7.16.6_x86_64-apple-darwin.zip https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/boinc_7.16.6_macOSX_SymbolTables.zip Don't ask me what each is, just nicked the download links from the BOINC repository. Think you'll want the top of the 3, of April 2, 2020, a few days younger than the WCG package. [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at May 17, 2020 10:26:43 AM] |

Thanks, but the OP indicates he's got the wcgrid kit from that link. There's only 1 7.14.5 which cannot be found on the Berkeley repository. ;)
