Today I installed BOINC clean on a system that never had a BOINC on it before. I used 7.2.39 - 64bit, that I had downloaded from http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php
I was testing something about the screen saver flickering, but during my travels in BOINC, I found that the default value for Use at most is set to 0.00GB of disk space. See http://imageshack.com/a/img24/9396/f571.png This will mean that project servers will refuse to send work to these systems, until that value has been adjusted to something normal. Do know that a lot of people will look in BOINC's local preferences, and exit out through the OK button, not knowing that this will immediately use the new local preferences, overriding their web preferences. Since the Use at most X GB disk space value is a required one, can we make sure that it can never be zero? Or when it's read as being zero, that we use the value from the global_prefs.xml file? Or set it by default to 5Gb for PCs and Macs (NOT on Android!). -- Jord van der Elst. _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
