BOINC 7.x breaks BOINC Project Updater

Ooops. Sorry I was tired... gpu_, gui_ it all looks the same after 18 hours up on four hours sleep :P

I just discovered an issue/feature with the new version of BPU.

I have been pulling out my hair off and on, for several weeks now. It was just not possible to get it to work with mindmodeling. Just that one project, and no other. I tried everything. Finally, it occurred to me to look at the URL that was in the client_state.xml.

This is the URL I was using: http://mindmodeling.org/beta/
This is the URL in the client state (and the one that works): http://MindModeling.org/beta/

It turns out that BOINC project updater is case sensitive. Any way to make it not case sensitive?

For the first time now, I am using BPU update remote machines, and am getting the following error pop up:

Hmmm, I have used BPU remotely on two machines and never saw that. Hope its an easy fix.

I saw the same error message as Z when I tied in remotely to my controlling machine.

Maybe it is due to BM 7.x as I still run 6.10.58 on everything.

I have no 7.x running currently. So I don't think that's the issue.

I do ... 7.0.11 I like to live dangerously :))

:p I do that 7.0.11. I am much better now because I am living dangerously before I thought that I was crazy. Thanks Bryan for putting my madness in a more kind words. =))

:cool: Living dangerously seems much better than being crazy. I like it. :rolleyes:

Cat you are living dangerously. Nice Doggys.

BOINC Project Updater v1.0.4 has been released. The only change in this from v1.0.3 is that it now allows blank passwords which means it works with blank gui_rpc_auth.cfg files. You can download the latest version at: http://boinc.thesonntags.com/collatz...ater_v1040.zip

Same here, I just close & open the Updater a few times until the error doesn't show up anymore ...

The Dogs weren`t so nice afterall.

Maybe you should have a thread called living dangerously. We could offer that one to my friend Bryan.

You can come you are living dangerously also.

OMG what a way to learn about gravity.

Now that's a new one. I'm running 7.0.3 and don't get the error. Is the remote host also a 7.x.x client? Is is a blank password?

Nope, to both.

Do you get the error when first starting up BPU or after it is running for a while?

Just when starting up. And I get one or two of those pop-ups. After that, it runs normally.

I have not been able to duplicate the issue, but I'm really hoping this (potential) fix solves the problem:

http://boinc.thesonntags.com/collatz...ater_v1050.zip

I think that, for wireless hosts, where it may take a little longer to connect, that the grid was still updating while it was trying to automatically resize the columns. The new version starts all the threads, one per remote host, prior to trying to automaticaly adjust the columns sizes so that all the data is visiable on the grid.

Not sure if this is the place for this but here goes.

I can't seem to get the updater to remember it's settings. After a reboot it comes up blank. Am I doing something wrong?

Yes, you are.

You are using windows aren't you?

Slicker I see this quite frequently on my systems. I'm remotely controlling from 1 machine with 6 satellites ... 4 are wireless. I'm running V1060 and BOINC 7.0.28. On an overnight run I might have 8 to 10 of those error messages. Is there something I can do on my end?
