I have 3 of them and when I updated 2 of them they stopped getting tasks, I'm wondering if a newer app is the problem and maybe going anonymous is the key.

You are getting the wrong app

You are getting the wrong app for the BRP4 tasks on Pi 4's.  Should be getting the 1.61 app, NOT the 1.06 app which is for 32 bit armhf platform.

I'd first make sure you are not running the 32 bit OS, from your host details I don't think they are, since they identify as ARMv8a,  but better check to make sure.

uname -m

Next, I'd edit the cc_config.xml and toggle the <no_alt_platform>0</no_alt_platform> entry to:

<no_alt_platform>1</no_alt_platform>

and save the file and either reboot or just use the Manager to re-read config files from the Options menu.

See if you can get the platform to report as aarch64 with the uname -m command.

Then you should pull down the proper 1.61 app and start getting tasks.

In case you actually are using the alt_platform choice for some other projects and don't want to change or lose that ability, then going the app_info.xml route would be the best choice.

I re inserted the text and restarted BOINC

Now I get the task limit message

Just a thought, though the experts may be able to enhance/correct this...

I've got a 64-bit BOINC client on my Pi4 and it is quite happily running BRP4 tasks using the 64-bit application, and I've actually still got an alt_platform entry for one of the 32-bit variants :-)

DIngo, I note you still seem to be on Buster (I'm on Bullseye) - check to see whether your 7.14.2 client is 32-bit or 64-bit, and have a look at a sched_request XML file to see what platform_name it reports;  my 7.16.16 client reports aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu, which ensures I get 64-bit work from projects (if there is any.)

Cheers - Al.

I had a look in the Platform_name file and it says  arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf

 

It is 64 bit though as the command 

 

pi@c1:/usr/bin$ uname -m
aarch64

I might uninstall BOINC and re install and see what it says after the install.

 


pi@c1:/usr/bin$ sudo apt remove -purge boinc

This is from the Client Configuration manual

<no_alt_platform>0|1</no_alt_platform>

If enabled, the client will run applications only for its primary platform. For example, a Win64 machine will run only Win64 apps, and not Win32.

first, <no_alt_platform> is

first, <no_alt_platform> is an 'option', so it needs to go inside an options tag as per the documentation

https://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Client_configuration
 

second, you've installed 32-bit BOINC, so it will only get 32-bit apps despite you having a 64-bit OS.

64-bit arm BOINC starts up like this: 
Mon 29 Jul 2024 10:12:30 AM EDT |  | Starting BOINC client version 7.20.5 for aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu

I'd try upgrading your Boinc

I'd try upgrading your Boinc version by upgrading your distro version.

Bullseye has Boinc 7.16.16

Bookworm has Boinc 7.20.5

Make sure you download the 64 bit version of the distro for the install.
