Howdy,

Linux Mint 18.3. I've had a few units from S@H that drag on and on. Most get done about 4 hours, but now I have one stuck at 99.999 percent with zero estimated time left, after 1 day and 22 hours. Why do these WUs get so slow to the point I am presuming a defective packet and am tempted to abort them

Thanks,

O

Instead of aborting them, shut BoincMgr down and then restart it. They seem to "magically" disappear and apparently get counted towards your production :)

I have no explanation for why they hang like that but sometimes they do. Not very often for me (so far, fingers crossed).

sometimes, especially with AP gpu tasks, the GPU stop crunching them and Stay at Idle temperature in TThrottle .

but the crunching time continue to run ...

when i set gpu sleep with right mouse clic on boinc taskbar icon and then disable it, the AP wu restart crunching ...
