BoincSpy V5.10.3

BOINCSpy is a program to view BOINC and Folding@Home client information.

Prerequisites:

• Have BOINC or Folding@Home installed.

Whats New/fixed on 5.10.3

• BoincSpy.Viewer - Change field order on SelectComputerForm
• BoincSpy.RabbitMQ.Sender - Wait for BOINC to accept RPC commands before checking if Boinc suspended or not

Notes:

• To view the BOINC user's page you must have logged in with the Remember account key.
• Removed dependency on installing .NET runtime. NOTE: Raspberry Pi users must increase swap to 1024 MB. Instructions
• Remote BOINC computers must allow remote connections (gui_rpc_auth.cfg / remote_hosts.cfg).
• BoincSpy remembers passwords; BOINC Manager does not.
• Some BOINCStats projects require export consent.

Issues:

• It appears that the .NET 10.0.2 servicing update has broken BoincSpy applications on Raspberry Pi models earlier than the Raspberry Pi 4 or Raspberry Pi 5.
  • You need to add the following line to the .bashrc file. export COMPlus_ReadyToRun=0
• On Mac, BoincSpy.MQRabbitSender restarts only after logout/login.
• Cannot remotely connect to Folding@Home machines.
• Folding@Home on Mac may not start initially. Use:
  
  
  • notifyutil -p org.foldingathome.fahclient.nobody.stop
  • notifyutil -p org.foldingathome.fahclient.nobody.start
  
  
• BoincSpy.Viewer.Uno not working again on Raspberry Pi
• On Mac, Folding@Home starts at boot. If you do not log in, workunits won’t save.
• On MacOS run BoincSpy.Viewer.Uno from terminal.
• Icons do not display on non Windows platforms.
