Due to a hardware breakdown, i had to reformat my computer. Obviously, when i reinstalled Boinc and sign in for my account, i got 2 computer ID\'s on my computer list. I didn\'t care about that for a couple of months but now i\'ve added a 2nd machine working on the project. So i decided to fix things out and do the necessary merging or deletion of the old computer ID. Now the trouble starts: i select the old ID, i select Merge and i get a screen with something like \"...select the computer you want to merge with...\" and a nice EMPTY list of computers. Something is not working in here. I\'ve done the same in other projects i\'m running and no trouble like this showed up. |

Have you tried selecting the new clone\'s ID and starting the merge process from that? We have had some reports of the merge process not working for some people. If it doesn\'t work for you in cpdn, I wouldn\'t waste too much time on this. I know it leads to messier results pages, but it does no harm and you\'ve only got one clone. Cpdn news |

Two instances of one of my WinXP computers also show nothing with which to merge. On the other hand, in the past, I\'ve been offered merges for different machines. Fickle ... Give it a month and vagrant will drop off the visible list. It\'ll be there but, at least, you won\'t have to look at it.

Hi WNj Moderator Les Bayliss has asked you to keep discussion of your merge problem in a single thread. Iain Inglis has posted to you elsewhere on this forum. He is a very experienced cruncher who knows how to manage a number of computers, some of which have had duplicate server web records due to restored backups. It would be useful if you could continue the discussion there only. Vielen Dank - das wäre praktischer für Sie und für alle. Cpdn news |
