Due to my competitive nature, I check my WCG crunching often during the day to ensure it is hard at work. I imagine this must be pretty common amongst all number crunchers.
During last weekend's scheduled downtime for system updates I prowled TPU threads looking to see if the system was still down, and was impressed by the number of BOINCstats badges displayed by most of the serious crunchers here. A day or two after work units began smoothly to flow down to my machine again, I went to sign up.
I thought I would join the fun here, and went to BAM! Oddly enough, I already had a User Name and Password to the BAM site. But, I found no data for me and my account. I registered my BOINC host with BOINCstats BAM again. Last night, once again, I lost all work units and stared at a blank slate again.
I dual boot with Manjaro and Windows 10 on separate disk drives. Every boot into Manjaro - no work units. Every boot into Windows - crunching away normally. That frustrated the heck out of me, until I saw there was a new "Use BAM" option on the menu items. I had quite forgotten that years ago a kernel update had blocked BOINC WCG on my Linux machine, and so I dropped them. Once again, the Linux machine is back at work normally, minus BAM!
Has anyone else ever dealt with this effect? Did you solve it, and can you tell me how?
