BOINC - Computing preferences shows hyperlink to a currently obsolete website for web prefs.
What is the less intrusive method to change that to the currently used source of Work Units? The “obsolete website” is from a project I have removed and am no longer active with at this time. |

BOINC - Computing preferences shows hyperlink to a currently obsolete website for web prefs. That sounds more like a problem you have to ask the guys at Berkley... What is the less intrusive method to change that to the currently used source of Work Units? The “obsolete website” is from a project I have removed and am no longer active with at this time. ![]() https://boinc.berkeley.edu/ If you refer to the link that might show up at the very top of that window, with a kind of "warning icon", I would suggest to try and download the latest version from BOINC and re-install (which should leave all your current settings/projects untouched).

BOINC - Computing preferences shows hyperlink to a currently obsolete website for web prefs. If you mean the message "Using web-based preferences from URL", the easiest method to fix this is in your BOINC Manager to select "Device Profiles" under World Community Grid "Project web pages" and as long as WCG web-site are working you edit any of the profiles. After saving changes, hit "Update" for WCG to download the new preferences. ![]() "I make so many mistakes. But then just think of all the mistakes I don't make, although I might." |

Install the latest version, remove the project then add it again.
----------------------------------------On bottom of the window you must have "https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/" Or edit "/var/lib/boinc/all_projects_list.xml" with a text editor, search "World Community Grid" and replace the lines : "<url>https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/</url>" "<web_url>https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/</web_url>" this one is ok : "<image>https://boinc.berkeley.edu/images/wcg.jpg</image>" then remove and add back the project. When you remove the project you lost all current WUs for WCG.
My GPU compute WUs as fast as I'm crushing bubble wrap.
