AQUA: Mass testing of the ROQS application will begin

[rgathright]

UPDATE!

Looks like version 0.18 fixes our problems?

Alright, well looks like it's an AQUA project problem with those WUs. Lame. I lost quite a few days worth of credits on this myself. Sorry for steering anyone wrong when they obviously need to work a few kinks out of it yet. I guess we need to switch to other AQUA sub projects or back to Primaboinca.

My 1.14% Aqua task is now at 2.275%. Plus it's now eating 5.3 GB of memory. Owch!!!

Reset both computers running Aqua. 100hrs on 6 threads each is waisted!!!

Welcome aboard!

I feel your pain, it was so tough watching all my unreported credits go to waste with ANDROINC.

Please try detaching and reattaching and run the Ver. 19 WUs. This should have fixed their problems.

Or you can just abort any .17 or .18 WUs you have, it will automatically d/l the .19 app when it gets a .19 WU.

Not trying to berate you Doc (Lies Lies Lies.... J/K). I've posted this elsewhere - Detaching and reattaching can sometimes mess up your stats. I have found it is better to abort all tasks for the project you wish to reset, shut down BOINC, find its folder and delete it. When you restart BOINC the project will automatically DL all necessary files including new apps if available. The absolute best way to guarantee a full reset.

Side note: It is sometimes necessary to reset all project debts to Zero using the <zero_debts>1</zero_debts> command option in your cc_config.xml file. Similar to my instructions above, you will need to shut down BOINC, add the command to the cc_config.xml file using any text editor like notepad or gedit (for Linux) and restart BOINC. Then do a manual update for all projects in your list, shut down BOINC, remove the Debts command from cc_config.xml and finally restart BOINC.

The default installtion locations for BOINC Manager are as follows:

BOINC Client Directory: C:\Program Files\BOINC
BOINC Data Directory: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\BOINC

If the cc_config.xml does not exist then you can create one with a text editor.
Here is mine for reference:

<cc_config>
   <options>
      <start_delay>30</start_delay>
      <network_test_url>http://www.yahoo.com/</network_test_url>
      <dont_check_file_sizes>1</dont_check_file_sizes>
      <report_results_immediately>1</report_results_immediately>
  </options>
</cc_config>

Nice write up Fire$torm!

I am running 0.19 right now on my boxes and hope to see better results tomorrow.

We are helping them so much with this BETA project. Everyone, please keep posting on the Androinc forums to show your support for the system admins there. We get a lot of positive visibility for this.

One quick addendum. In win 7 Bonic data is in C:\ProgramData\BOINC. ProgramData is a hidden folder also.

Thanks. I forgot about Win7. I always unhide my system folders right after an OS install so I tend to forget that too.

Ah, thanks F$. I didn't know about that method - seems like a better route. I'll do that on the next one.
