I've had one of my machines repeatedly run into the following problem since I upgraded to BOINC 4.25 client.

It basically did this repeatedly until the server told it to go away. Now the server is saying it has no work.

Is this a known problem?

> Is this a known problem?

Yes.
BOINC 4.25 requires 'signed' files, which in turn requires a version of hadsm using 'signed' files.
So far there is only a version of this for Windows and Linux, so you'll need to continue with BOINC 4.19 for a while.

The 'no work' is a different problem. It occurs when the server runs out of work units.
It should be fixed soon after Oxford wakes up for the day. And I need another one too.

OK, I switched back to 4.19, and I'm still getting this:

Sorry, Deborah, I've no other ideas.
You will need an Apple person who isn't having problems to answer this. And people without problems may not
read the forum. Not helped by Mac users being about 2% of total users here.

Just thought: there is a group of Mac users somewhere who have a BOINC version for G5.
They have posted here a few times. I'll try a search and repost.

edit:
<a href="http://team.macnn.com/"> This</a> seems to be it. Its a forum type site.
Also, if you use the 'Message search' at the main menu for Q &amp; A, typing in macnn and clicking 'search' you'll get a list of their posts here.
DON'T press "enter" on the keyboard. There is a bug which returns Not Found.
