ubuntu
My main linux workstation stopped downloading new tasks. So I tried disabling then enabling the network with boinccmd, that didn't help. I bit the bullet and deleted everything (no files / directories named '*boinc*' left) and reinstalled.

I got 1 OPN task (so have 87 idle cpus crying )
Debugging got me these messages:

so how do I get rid of that 'can't fetch CPU: project is backed off' ? Boinc-client/libboinc7 are reported as version 7.16.6+dfsg-1.

Check your device profile and see if you actually have any projects checked and see how many you are allowing. It possibly looks like you only have GPU tasks enabled.

X If there is no work available for the project(s) I have selected above, please send me work from another project.

X Please opt me in to new projects as they become available.

in short, I have selected all available projects. Also, I just have a single 'Default' profile which is set to 'maximum output' - which works fine on two other systems that share that profile. I'm confused.

Re: ubuntu
Based on my observations, it appears that they are not releasing any new WU.

Virtually all the WU’s I HAVE seen are those attempting to finish off incomplete quorum’s. The lack of new WU’s on my systems is leaving a lot of processors idle and no queue of “waiting” WU.

I previously sent an email to the support team about the potential issue and hopefully they will respond to the forums. But time will tell.

So, the problem is NOT caused by anything that you have done or not done. The problem is caused by something that is configured at Krembil!

Re: ubuntu
The relevant line is :-

58: 17-Dec-2022 18:55:25 (low) [World Community Grid] Not sending work - last request too recent: 61 sec


and in the next request :-

107: 17-Dec-2022 18:57:31 (low) [World Community Grid] can't fetch CPU: project is backed off


You need to leave the system be for a while before you try again.

I concur. There are no units coming for either OPN or MCM. It appears the feeders are dry. On the weekend no less.

Re: ubuntu
so have 87 idle cpus crying
Tn-Grid has all kinds of WUs. It's keeping my 4 PCs busy right now.

Now if I could only find a parameter to just get Tn-Grid when WCG runs dry. (hint: asking if there is)

Bryn Mawr (2 posts above) is 3 positions in front of me at 92.

Re: ubuntu
I haven't gotten any WUs for OPN on either Ubuntu or my Mac. Seems like the cow has gone dry. There's been a problem downloading WUs for a few days on both, also.

Guess we need to wait til that cow moos again, huh?

Re: ubuntu
Now if I could only find a parameter to just get Tn-Grid when WCG runs dry. (hint: asking if there is)

There is, for recent BOINC versions.
Set Project Weight to 0 on other project(s).
Work is only fetched if non-zero projects have none.

Rosetta and SiDock also have tasks.
DENIS should return next year.
