42) Questions and Answers : Getting started : Cannot attach to climateprediction (Message 46387) Posted 9 Jun 2013 by Ron Crouch Post: If you think I'm wrong then run boinc --help and see for yourself. Oh yes, there is a difference between the commands boinc vs boinccmd. Boinc as a command starts the client while boinccmd will only give you what you need if a client is running, otherwise it has no client to connect to to gather any information. The use of both can be found by running boinc --help or boinccmd --help. I cannot state enough: YOU CANNOT ATTACH TO THE PROJECT AND DOWNLOAD ANY WORK UNITS USING THE BOINCCMD command. YOU CAN ONLY ATTACH AND DOWNLOAD NEW WORK USING THE BOINC command. IF YOU HAVE TRIED TO ATTACH TO THE PROJECT USING THE BOINCCMD YOU MUST DETACH FROM THE PROJECT AND ATTACH USING THE AFOREMENTIONED METHOD. Thank you and have a nice day!
43) Questions and Answers : Getting started : Cannot attach to climateprediction (Message 46375) Posted 7 Jun 2013 by Ron Crouch Post: Well someone came close to the workaround but not quite. This will work for Windows as well as Linux (new boxes). Open a terminal and navigate to your Boinc folder. On the command line enter the following: boinc --attach_project http://climateprediction.net (32 digit account key) then hit enter. If it squawks at all then run boinc --detach_project http://climateprediction.net and try again. Once it finishes downloading and starts to crunch you can do a Ctrl+Alt+C to exit boinc. Now you can start Boinc with the GUI. It will probably only download one work unit initially but it will fill up as time progresses. Have fun!

45) Message boards : Number crunching : Credits not updating (Message 40756) Posted 24 Sep 2010 by Ron Crouch Post: I suppose I have a different take on this credit business. As long as my units run, and whether they complete or crash is immaterial. I look upon it as my tiny contribution to help further the understanding of the underlying science. For me credits are meaningless (you can have my air miles too).
