I am seeing messages in my client log suggesting that I upgrade to Boinc version 7.20.2. Should I do that?
----------------------------------------Cheers   |

NixChix,
----------------------------------------Which version are you running now? I have been running 7.20.2 since 8 August and didn't go back to a previous version: $ rpm -qi boinc-client PS Did you know that your signature shows "Invalid Id" in a BoincStats frame? At least, that's what I see. [Edit 3 times, last edit by adriverhoef at Sep 22, 2022 10:49:59 AM] |

At least, that's what I see. I have been running 7.16.11 on 2 computers and 7.16.20 on 2 others. Time to upgrade I guess. Yes, I have seen the empty BoincStats frame. I don't know what went wrong. I have been too busy/lazy/tired to check it out. Cheers |

Why upgrade? If nothing is broken why fix it?
My machines just run WCG (and TnGrid for now) so, until they stop working or LTS runs out the clock, I fix nothing. This is not entirely true. I wanted to see what Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS looked like and updated this one machine. It updated Boinc to 7.18.1 by itself. As a matter of fact I turned off auto updates. If you use your machine daily to surf etc, etc, etc, then indeed keep everything up-to-date. Now if you tell me the new Boinc will make the WUs run 2x faster then..... |
