Tried v6.6.23 then v6.6.24, no difference.

Reset your debts via the <zero_debts> flag.

I'd suggest you also turn on the <sched_op_debug> flag so you can see what its asking for. Basically its asking for cpu work and getting told there isn't any. This is correct. It needs to ask for cuda work.

work fetch debug flag ...

A few hours later it started getting work again. During this time the GPU WUs ready to send was stuck at 53,
then 52 so it was most likely a server problem. Ran a few Seti WUs in the meantime.

No sched_op_debug displays the scheduler request/result. As you can see it was silly enough to ask for cpu work from GPUgrid. Nothing to worry about it will backoff the resource and should try a cuda request sooner or later.

Ah, I mis-read the note ... ok... i gotta play with this flag for a bit ...

If this problem continues for more than 2-3 hours, and your Internet access is OK, you might want to abort the WU and the transfer and get another WU. I had one of my hosts get stuck with one of these types of errors. Even though I was getting WU on other hosts, there seem to be some stuck ones lately.
