Hi,

I can't detach from a project in BOINC Manager because the detach button is greyed out. I use BOINCstats BAM so I went to my account page and unticked the relevant project, etc., but the project won't disappear from BAM and is still downloading/doing new work. How do I get rid of it, anyone know?

Cheers,
James

I'm not sure which account page you meant, but you should try the host details page (reachable from "Host list" ). There you can uncheck the "Attached?" box or check the "Delayed detach" box. After clicking "Set", you'll have to synchronize your client with BAM! (Tools menu in BOINC manager).

Hope that helps.

Hi Gundolf,

Thanks for the response. Yes, it's the host details page which I visited earlier and did exactly what you described, including synchronizing my client with BAM. The project no longer shows on the host details page, but is still in BOINC manager and won't dissapear, even after sync.

Any other ideas?

Cheers,
James

Just one: if you used "Delayed detach" the client won't detach before all tasks are finished (uploaded and reported).

If that's not the case, you can still use "brute force":

Select "Stop using BOINCstats BAM!..." from the Advanced menu in BOINC manager. After that, you should be able to detach.

Gruß,
Gundolf

You could alsy try "Reset project" from BOINC, but you will lose any work in progress for that project.

So, you are saying that you stopped using BAM! (via BOINC manager) and still the detach menu is greyed out?
