Message 950398 - Posted: 28 Nov 2009, 6:07:33 UTC

I am running 6.6.36, and have been for months. My machine is down to about 15 hours of WUs and it will NOT even ask for new WUs - I tried stopping and starting BOINC, and reporting WUs explicitly, but it doesn't ask for new WUs (I have a nominal 7 day cache, but it just won't request new WUs):

Say what? I don't understand this comment; could you please expand on it?
My cache is set to 8 days, but I have only a few hours of WUs left....
Thanks,
Jon

(EDIT) I'm a f**king idiot - I had my SETI set to "no new tasks"!!!
THANKS for the hint, and I will slink away under this handy rock here....(/EDIT)

Are there any buttons in the advanced view anywhere that say resume?

If not:

What tasks are running?

How much time left on those tasks (all projects)?

How much time left to deadline on those tasks?

What is your Connect Every X setting (local settings)?

What is your Extra Work Setting?

How many CPUs?

What are the long_term_debt values from the client_state.xml file?

What are the duration_correction values from the client_state.xml file (one per project)?

What is the time_stats of the client_state.xml file?
