The GPU did not switch to the internal HD3000 chip an boinc was listed as the blocking program, on shutting boinc down the GPU switch after a few seconds. I then started playing with the power connector to see what happens when going onto battery. Something I just noticed, like 20 minutes ago, I installed a program called gfxCardStatus which displays which GPU is in use & programs dependent on it. I abandoned it several years ago for the same reason and thought that in nearly TEN YEARS someone would have made an effort to make this easy to use ? I am so so exasperated listening to people I discuss this project with telling me they have abandoned it after a few days of trying to wrestle with the app. But what is the goal here ? Surely the goal is to involve as many people as possible ? I do know that there is limited money available and it is a volunteer project. It would appear as if the BOINC and Seti teams are doing their utmost to frighten off the global public, in order to leave the whole Seti etc projects to the nerds and techies. The interface is completely submerged in unintelligible tech terms and unintelligible preferences and options that compete between those set in the app and those set on the web. The interface is something you might expect in a college engineering course project.
#GFXCARDSTATUS 10.6.8 MAC#
However I am posting here to say how appalled I am at the whole design/development of the Mac App. " for several weeks trying to solve my screensaver issues. have had a thread going over at "Number crunching : Waiting for more tasks. Hi all - I am parachuting in here - apols if I am in any way off topic.
#GFXCARDSTATUS 10.6.8 INSTALL#
Turns out I've got to redo the machines with a clean install of 10.8, so I'll let you know. When we used Radmind, we didn't have these problems. I end up cloning from another machine, so that's pretty much where I start these days.
I've never had good luck uninstalling and re-installing. The other 18? Only FSM knows for sure why things don't work. Two of the 20 are behaving properly regarding BOINC. I used to expect that clones would behave the same, but they don't.
19 of them are, in theory, exact clones of one machine (target disk mode is wonderful when one has an unreliable network that doesn't support netbooting). I moved the data folder as the very last step. When all else fails, I recommend running the Uninstall BOINC application that comes bundled with BOINC 7.0.31 for the Mac and then reinstalling. This may also apply when upgrading the OS.
Maybe that's the problem.Remember that, since you are relocating the BOINC Data directory, you must create the symbolic link again each time you run the BOINC installer, as explained at the end of this section. Another wrinkle is that I had to do a "dirty" install of 10.8 over 10.6.
