(sendmail sometimes does that when using shared memory and warm restarts... this may be similar, depending on the OS).. *Looking for a team ???

VFREY is correct.. error occurs on reporting tasks. *Looking for a team ??? Join BoincSynergy!!* ID: 29287 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I run XP with AMD CPU, although I doubt that has anything to do with it. Edit: I did not get a shared memory error. I am on dial-up, and after I made "network activity always available," BOINC requested new work and reported "project is down" although the project was up. I had no results that I could have uploaded or reported. At least I didn't notice any "shared memory error." I exited and restarted BOINC, so my error messages have been wiped.

I cannot download any new work units either. "Message from server: Project encountered internal error: shared memory" Project is down ID: 29291 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Server status shows all OK, but "project encountered internal error: shared memory" messages display when any kind of boinc client comms attempted. ID: 29292 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

From the homepage, news: Oct 12, 2006 Outage Notice: The project will be down tomorrow morning, Friday, at around 6:15 AM to 8:00 AM PST due to a scheduled power upgrade at our on-campus datacenter.

Still is down... tho it says it's up.... This error started occurring after it came back up... I am not worried, when I saw the project outage notification yesterday, I punched up my number of days between connections and downloaded about 3 days worth of crunching tasks... so my CPU's will stay busy until someone notices these messages... *Looking for a team ???

Max is 24 hours, the default is 3 hours. BTW there are 3 threads with identical titles about this problem! If you have run out of Rosetta work there are plenty of other BOINC projects out there.
