I know it got further in the time step before without incident when I last suspended, but it just suddenly failed when loading. So I shut down BOINC, deleted the CPDN folder, and copied from backup. Problem is BOINC still says \"ready to report\". What files do I edit, or whatever, to force BOINC to forget that it completed the WU and was ready to force, and make BOINC resume from backup as if nothing ever happened, with the CC being none the wiser? thx in advance...

Then abort the faulty cpdn model. (Sorry, no smilies. But I am; it\'s just been a long day.) ID: 22112 · Reply Quote

Was strange, start WU, and on load, dead... ID: 22114 · Reply Quote

Well, I shoulda waited for a reply, and not thought \"oh my gosh, lost all this crunch time, what do I do\", while trying to \"fix\" things? :D Course I also didn\'t fair well on sulpher units in the past, so when a coupled was going good, and then...but couldn\'t understand on a load, if I was going nuts, or what :rofl BTW, on the other board, I can\'t seem to login... When the BOINC servers went down following some network error, I couldn\'t get to this group. So I created an account on the other board, however the confirmation email was never sent to me. Probably the same network problem at the time of creation that prevented our machines from trickling in, or don\'t know. Anyhow, a login shows account is non-existent, incorrect password, or inactive. Select send password, and it shows my email address as in use, but the account as inactive. Not sure how I would go about resolving that... ID: 22121 · Reply Quote

So what you do is, you ask an administrator for the other board. 3 days after I was promoted to a moderator here, I was promoted to administrator there. You should now be able to access the other board. Enjoy. ID: 22122 · Reply Quote
