Hello, I can't convince my computer that it is located at "School". It insists on using the preferences for "Home". I went to my account under CPDN, then to My Computers, then to that specific computer and it says that location is "School". But whenever I update the project, the BOINC client says "General prefs: using separate prefs for home". Which of course are the wrong preferences for this specific machine... Any ideas? Thanks! Friedrich I love CPDN! --

There is a bug in the current public release of BOINC. I think it is corrected in the 4.2x client which should be out next month. |

If you're happy editing XML files you can force a venue change by stopping BOINC and editing the client_state.xml file. Search for the string <b>host_venue</b> in the file, and change the setting from <b>home</b> to <b>school</b> if it's found. If It isn't found you need to add the following line before the last line in the file: <b><host_venue>school</host_venue></b> "The ultimate test of a moral society is the kind of world that it leaves to its children." - Dietrich Bonhoeffer |
