Re: No task
Which projects have you selected ? I see you have only 512 MB of memory which may limit your choices.
Cheers

Re: No task
Sgt.Joe...That is 512MB memory while Active, not Idle.

Re: No task
ranzalon,

Welcome back. It could be the very reason. Not having run the client for a long time, so it may be thinking like "My average up time has been very low, so no chance of completing any work in time.

1) Leave it on and be patient and eventually it will fetch work

2) Check some values for us to see if it's indeed the timekeeping values.
...a) In File Explorer go to /Library/Application Support/BOINC Data
...b) Open client_state.xml file
...c) Copy paste in a reply the below sample section:
<time_stats>
    <on_frac>0.993318</on_frac>
    <connected_frac>0.778000</connected_frac>
    <cpu_and_network_available_frac>0.777279</cpu_and_network_available_frac>
    <active_frac>0.999241</active_frac>
    <gpu_active_frac>0.999241</gpu_active_frac>
</time_stats>


Not sure, but think some members revert to increasing their additional buffer setting to push the client, but any of the above values should be near 0.99 indicating the fraction of a day the client is on and allowed to compute.

Re: No task
hmm, stop BOINC and edit, with notepad, the <on_frac>0.340571</on_frac> to <on_frac>0.990000</on_frac> (6 decimal and then restart. Hit update button in the project tab after selecting the WCG line. If things don't move, reset WCG in the project tab, and if that does not help, detach and attach to WCG. Some counter is holding things up.
