1) Message boards : News : Migrating MilkyWay@home to a New Server (Message 76602) Posted 8 Nov 2023 by Angela J. Boonyakieat Post: Well, it worked! Went to “simple view”, deleted Milky Way. Then I added it back in. Said that I was an existing user, just like as if I got a new computer. Sure enough, I got 1 task, then a whole bunch of them. So a couple of questions, do I need to do this to all my machines? If so, should I do it now, or wait until they finish up the work units that they have? Thanks everyone for the help. Angie

My computers are finishing up work under the “old” server. What exactly do I do? Rejoin? Do nothing? Not sure how to proceed. All of my machines are windows based. Pleas give it to me step by step! Thanks. Angie

Boonyakieat Post: Tom, if it is possible, I would love to get credits for the 9,429 work units that I have in Validation Pending. It might take extra time on your part, but I, and a whole lot of other people would sure appreciate it.

One of the 2 slow machines has a 64 bit operating system and the other one has a 32 bit operating system. From what I understand the 64 bit unit will run N Body (very slowly), but the 32 bit computer won’t? Even though I run a lot of machines, I don’t know a whole lot about them.

I have some slow 1 core machines that I keep running for sentimental reasons they always ran “Separation”. So they won’t be able to run “N-Body” ?

Boonyakieat Post: Does anyone know for sure what is going to happen to the Separation work units that are left to do, along with the ones in Validation Pending? I personally would like to run what I have left, and get credit for the ones I and everyone else has in Validation Pending. Kinda a way of saying “Thank You for helping with this project”.

Boonyakieat Post: I sure hope that they pay out what we have left in the computers, even if they don’t need the information. That, in my opinion is the right way to do it. Shut off new work and pay out what is left when it comes in. Angie

Boonyakieat Post: Well if there is such a thing as a giant Egg On Your Face emoji, I deserve it big time!!!! Mikey was correct about the work units. What happened, was a lot of my machines need plugged into the internet instead of a wireless connection. About every 2 days, I unplug the internet cable from the computer in question and plug it into a nearby slow laptop for a quick up/download. The first thing I did wrong was I left it plugged into the laptop. Then, when trying to look at the problem, I was looking at the wrong computer, even though they are all labeled! This is what happens when I am in a hurry to pack the camper for one of my husbands races! I am sorry for any inconvenience. All is well now. Thanks everyone for trying to help me. Angie.

10) Questions and Answers : Web site : No update (Message 74041) Posted 7 Aug 2022 by Angela J. Boonyakieat Post: Thanks. I have not put on a new computer for a while. There is no shadow machine. I guess that my only choice is to try and reload the operating system so the project thinks it is a different machine. Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated. Angie

11) Questions and Answers : Web site : No update (Message 74039) Posted 6 Aug 2022 by Angela J. Boonyakieat Post: Thank you so much Mikey for replying to me. I think there might be a misunderstanding about what is happening. The computer has ran far far more than 8 valid tasks. It is running normally, one of the uploads from yesterday (or the day before, I’m away from the computers now) showed 11 tasks uploaded and it received 8 new tasks. It just keeps crunching away, the same as always, according to the event log and if you look at the due date for the tasks, new ones with due dates farther in the future keep getting downloaded. The problem is that the project doesn’t acknowledge this. I get no credits for work done, after August 1, and even though I have shut the computer down a total of 3 times, the last 2 times longer than 20 minutes, nothing changes. When I restart it, it goes through the normal startup of checking CPU benchmarks, then starts working normally. The project never acknowledges the restart. Where it says “last contact with project” it never changes from August 1. If I shut down and restart any other computer, last contact will show when I started the machine as it should be. It is a project problem, not a problem with my computer. I wonder where the credit is going? Is someone else getting the credits? I don’t know. Just before I left for the weekend, I set it to “no new tasks” so it will empty out the work units. If this isn’t fixed in the next couple days, I thought I would take the computer to my computer guy and have the operating system reloaded. That way the project will think it’s a different computer. I really don’t know what else to do, and I’m not 100% sure that a reload will work. Thoughts? Angie.

12) Questions and Answers : Web site : No update (Message 74037) Posted 4 Aug 2022 by Angela J. Boonyakieat Post: Thanks for the reply. The ID is 931664. The last time that MW shows contact with a server is August 1 at 12.08 UTC. The event log shows uploading finished work units and also downloading new work units. I have shut it down 2 times, and the second time for 20 minutes. When it is restarted, it goes through CPU benchmarks but on the website it still doesn’t move except to show my average credit for this computer dropping. Angie

13) Questions and Answers : Web site : No update (Message 74034) Posted 4 Aug 2022 by Angela J. Boonyakieat Post: One of my computers won’t update when looking at the list of computers. The machine is running normally but I am not getting credit for the work it is doing. I tried a shut down, but when I restarted it, same thing. Event log is normal too. Any ideas? Thanks Angie
