When I join a project, I always use my regular account name, have done so since the old SETI@Home in the '90's. I connected this machine, a linux node, to the new spacious@home project, which started downloading work and crunching them. BOINC Manager on here does not show my regular name, adrianxw, it shows me as "Adrian", it also has left the Team field blank. If I try to adjust the name, it fails, telling me that name is already in use, but if I try to log in as adrianxw it says "No such account".

This you? https://spaciousathome.eu/spaciousathome/show_user.php?userid=241 Or this? https://spaciousathome.eu/spaciousathome/show_user.php?userid=242 The second has 5 posts. https://spaciousathome.eu/spaciousathome/forum_user_posts.php?userid=241 (the project has a lot of errors when I reload pages). As far as I know, the first time an account is made, it uses the name of your BOINC, which uses the name of the account you logged into your computer with. |

Hi Jord, Yes, I also receive a shed load of error messages. I have set no new tasks on the projects which I had added on that system and will let them run so they are not wasted. When I get to that point, I'll try to get both my normal adrianxw account and the other Adrian accounts deleted. When that is done, I'll decide if I want to try again. I am seeing account(s) but at the same time, seeing No such account messages. I think there are some issues within the database.

Still some of the long SiDock units running, I expect them to finish this afternoon. They run for 10-11 hours on these machines. I'm going to be a little "off the air" for perhaps a week. My kid sister in England has died, and I am the last member of my family still pulling Oxygen from the atmosphere. Crazy amount of stuff that needs to be done. Oddly, the item that is causing the maximum amount of mails is what I'm supposed to do with her cat. Wave upon wave of demented avengers march cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream. |
