Am I right, that your system not have work ? - Could you please try to start the BOINC client with "./boinc -update_prefs http://setiathome.berkeley.edu" or do a update project via the BOINC manager. |

Yes, right. Now i have tried this: boinc_cmd --passwd *** --project http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/ update The finished workunits seemed to be sent to the server, but no new work arrived at my workstation. Michael |

I have looked at your computers stats at the website. Both Linux systems have WUs to crunch. If you have your cache set to the default setting (0.1 days), this would be OK. |

Hi all, I struggle with same/similar problem. starting boinc brings no error, but get no new work anymore: (tips above did not solve the problem for me) I start my boinc with this command: /root/downloads/seti/BOINC/run_client -no_gui_rpc -dir /root/downloads/seti/BOINC -return_results_immediately -update_prefs http://setiathome.berkeley.edu > boinc.log & and in logfile stderrdae.txt I see: 2007-07-22 00:29:13 [SETI@home] No work from project 2007-07-22 00:30:18 [SETI@home] No work from project 2007-07-22 00:31:23 [SETI@home] No work from project 2007-07-22 00:32:58 [SETI@home] Project is down 2007-07-22 01:35:04 [SETI@home] Scheduler request failed: a timeout was reached (...) 2007-07-22 04:19:49 [SETI@home] Scheduler list fetch failed: http error 2007-07-22 04:22:54 [SETI@home] Scheduler request failed: a timeout was reached (...) 2007-07-22 07:45:31 [SETI@home] Scheduler list fetch failed: http error 2007-07-22 07:45:31 [SETI@home] 4 consecutive failures fetching scheduler list - deferring 604800 seconds this would mean I'm down for 7 days. How can I solve this? many thanks in advance Liebe Gruesse, Georg |

Georg: I too have noticed the servers have been busy and trying to ration work out as best they can. Just leave BOINC running and eventually it will get more work units from the server. I received two last night, so I think you just need to be patient. If you want to see, check the server status from the SETI main page. http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/sah_status.html Under Database Status, if you see "Results ready to send" with a very low number, then the chances are the servers are catching up trying to generate more work. If you only have internet on the weekends, make sure under your preferences that you set "Computer is connected to the Internet about every" to 7 days, so it will download as much work as it can. |

Your problems where related to the power outage at the campus in Berkeley. There was some work in the power supplies of the buildings at 22th July. Also there was some problems in the routing in Berkeley, which recovered at 23th July at 1:00 PDT. So your system could not get any work. I recommend to set the work cache buffer to 2 or 3 days to cover such outages via the BOINC client. Alternative join a other BOINC project, evlentualy only as backup project, is also a good idea. There are a lot of interesting projects available. Please look at this lists in the BOINC Wiki : http://www.boinc-wiki.info/Catalog_of_BOINC_Powered_Projects http://www.boinc-wiki.info/The_Current_List_of_Alpha_Test/Beta_Test_Projects If you setup a backup project, you can set SETI a very high resource share (for example 1000) and your backup project a very low resource share (1). If your primary project is down or has no work, the BOINC client downloads work from the other project. |
