Topic 188851

I am running BOINC 4.19 and run the ClimatePrediction and Seti@Home projects. I recently added Einstein as a project but once it starts running Seti never gets back in again. I use BOINC Menubar to control the projects and looking through the log shows that once Einstein starts it never returns control and Seti is effectively blocked from running. ClimatePrediction seems to run O.K. with Einstein. I have set the percentage for each project at 50.
This problem has been reported before but I can't find the original posting.
I have now removed the Einstein project and will wait until I hear that the problem is resolved before trying it again.
Is this a known problem? Is it being worked on?

E@H blocks Seti from running on Mac

Geoff,

Same prob here. I know that this problem was supposed to be fixed in the new application, but I have seen it often enough to have to quit E@H (again).

AFAIK, the problem is with the E@H app and certain WUs, and only happens at the very end of the WU.
