It does simply nothing when was running all the night and when I request work by hand, it requests 0 seconds of work. Project reset doesn't change anything.

It thinks GPU Grid is running on the CPUs and you have used up your resource share for the time being. If you don't feel like editing the master file I think the only quick way to get back is to detach and reattach ... THEN you will have to fight the no work for your computer type ... sigh ... what we mortals have to do ... ID: 5188 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I've switched to BOIN 6.5 dev, doesn't help. Linux Users Everywhere @ BOINC ID: 5200 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Try project reset ... if that does not work ... try detach and re-attach ... After that my only suggestion is editing the master file to reset the long term debts ... a task which can completely farble up BOINC Manager if you make a mistake ...

After that my only suggestion is editing the master file to reset the long term debts ... a task which can completely farble up BOINC Manager if you make a mistake ... If this becomes necessary I suggest not editing. Using your favourite search engine find and download a program called BoincDV. Read the download page and the readme file included. Extract the program to the folder suggested. Shut down all Boinc processes (check in task manager) then run BoincDV. That should be safer than editing providing no Boinc process is running! I suspect most if not all the results ready to send at the moment are for PS3 users - there is no way to tell but lots of gpu users seem to be posting about problems. You may get lucky if a cancelled unit or time expired unit becomes available when you manually update. Phoneman1 ID: 5213 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Phoneman1 Won't run under linux ... unless he has wine installed and then I am not sure of the safety ... There is supposed to be a command line option to make the BOINC command line client reset the long term debts, but I have never had success getting it to work on OS-X, probably just me ... but ...

That does not always work ... has not worked for me for an hour now ... :( When that happens you know it's the server acting up again, possibly no WUs available for NVidia. Should be easy to fix but so so far it hasn't been. ID: 5240 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
