Boincview and Boinc 6.6.14

(1/3) > >>

KarVi:
Has anybody else experienced problems with boincview and boinc 6.6.14.

Got 6.6.14 up and running yesterday, and at first things where fine.
But now I cant start boincview, it crashes when it contacts boinc on my server running 6.6.14. If I remove the server from Boincviews "computer.ini" file, it runs fine, but when I add the 6.6.14 server in boincviews "Computers" dialog, it crashes immediatly when contacting it.

I am a little sorry this has happened, since I liked the ability of Boincview, to monitor more computers from one program.

Are there any good alternative to Boincview out there?

Richard Haselgrove:
I am running BoincView 1.4.2 on my P4 with BOINC v5.10.13, and using it to view and control six other computers, three of which are running BOINC v6.6.14

There are minor problems with displayed estimated completion times, but some of the earlier problems with BV and BOINC v6.6.12 have been eliminated - David Anderson has commented on changes he has made specifically to ensure continued compatibility with BoincView. It certainly doesn't crash, or even show error messages.

Are you sure that the problem isn't caused by some other factor? BV is notoriously memory-hungry, and it might be being crashed by the size of the new caches made possible by BOINC v6.6.14

There is also a new BOINC v6.6.15 (similar pre-Beta status to v6.6.14) which has still more BV compatibility changes. You could try that.

KarVi:
I forgot to mention that I was running the latest available Beta of boincview. Something must have broken in that version, but reverting to 1.2.6 made it work perfectly again.

Will look into getting a never version running, but for now I'm OK.

Richard Haselgrove:
BoincView website has vanished off the web (as has the author), but my original download of BV 1.4.2 (final non-Beta version) is attached.

Included licence file grants permission for re-distribution like this.

KarVi:
Thanks.

Will try it out.

Yeah the website vanished around New years eve. But the developement was stopped long before that and the author never posted, or commented in the forum.

Sad that this very good tool isn't developed anymore, and that it does not seem anybody has the source code, so someone else could take over.
