OK, that has solved why you are not getting new workunits.

Luke.

Yes, but not how to get some new WUs downloaded. Currently there are 50 WUs in the queue and this host completes them at the rate of at least 32 per day. This means that in about a day and a half the queue will be empty. So, can I repair the Duration Correction Factor by editing some file, or should I reinstall version 6.2.19?

Yes, you can shut down BOINC, edit the <duration_correction_factor> in the client_state.xml file, and restart BOINC. The default value is 1, which should allow you to get more work.

Meanwhile, all the S@H work you have was downloaded before you made the conversion, so BOINC will keep 6.03 and use it to process all those. The first new download should be accompanied by 6.05 and its associated files. Thus, there will still be a delay before you'll see CUDA action, and probably another disturbance in DCF.

OK, I

• shut down BOINC,
  
• edited the client_state.xml file setting <duration_correction_factor> to 1.000000
  
• restarted BOINC
  
• set SETI@Home to "No new tasks"
  
• aborted all the tasks in the queue without any work done so far
  
• reset SETI@Home to allow new tasks
  
• updated the SETI@Home project
  

This caused BOINC to request new work and it got 20 new tasks, along with the 6.05 application.
