faq - frequently asked questions 01. SETIspirit does not recognize all workunits my BOINC client has calculated, why? SETIspirit needs to analyze the BOINC logfiles to determine the count of calculated workunits. Unfortunately the BOINC client automatically deletes/overwrites old logfiles (stdoutdae.old), which prevents SETIspirit to recognize all calculated workunits. To avoid this, SETIspirit is archiving the relevant logfiles. 02. The SETIspirit sky map does not show constellation pictures! Please download and install the SETIspirit Sky Map Extension Pack. The minimum screen resolution for showing a complete sky map is 1360 x 768 px (Wide XGA). 03. Windows 8 is complaining about the Sky Map Extension Pack and refuses to run the installation! If you are using the Internet Explorer browser with enabled SmartScreen Filter a warning appears after the Sky Map Extension Pack is downloaded ("SkyMapExtPack.exe is not commonly downloaded and could damage your computer"). You can safely ignore this message and select action (instead of delete or show downloads) then click more options (instead of delete program or don't execute program) and at last selecting still run program for a successfull download and installation of the Sky Map Extension Pack on Windows 8 hosts (the messages can vary as I have translated it from German). I recommend to use Firefox or other browsers for downloading the Sky Map Extension Pack as the Internet Explorer SmartScreen Filter can be very confusing. Please also see the full SETIspirit FAQ ...
