Hello there,

i've tried to upgrade the BOINC client to 4.12. Despite the fact it screwed my machine i tried to start it clean and copy the old files over from backup. In that process it dumped the old WU and downloaded a new one, which got screwed also. Now i tried to delete the host and the result but there always states an error message "Host deletion is disabled for now, sorry!". I had to downgrade to 4.09 from backup and all is fine now, except the SETI uploading issue :/

Could an admin please 'free' this WU for another one?

Hi Uli,
you have to install 4.12 over 4.09 so thaat you can keep the wu.

In my account I have lots of lost wu's :-).

Better make that 4.13 :) There was a CPU scheduling problem with 4.12 which caused much grief and consternation. 4.13 is up on the seti website.

Gah, I've just been round and installed 4.12 on all my machines and now there's <i>another</i> new version... :roll:

I installed V 4.13 on my 3.2G P IV HT. I was also running LHC on that host. LHC went nuts, going through WU's spitting chunks (errors). I detached from LHC only to find that one of the two CPDN WU's locked up and stopped crunching. Restarting the client did no good. I had to reset the project, only to have the whole computer completely lockup. The only way to unlock it was to do a HARD shutdown. Once rebooted I overwrote V 4.09 to get things back to normal.

It would appear that Berkeley did it again. (Smoking crack?) Not being one to mince words; IMHO V 4.13 is a piece of sierra hotel india tango.

Download V 4.13 AYOR (at your own risk).

This is why you back up your BOINC directory before upgrading the core client :)

But all that aside, this is only the 2nd or 3rd bad experience with 4.13 I have come across. If there were a major problem with it, the berkeley message boards would be flooded with whiners.

Right, but shouldn't have to.
