Your selected resource share or task type (CPU vs GPU) doesn't match what's available. ID: 2450 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

OK But I can update SIDOCK and get this message, and then immediately update one of the other projects and get work Sigh It's also got to do with your Long Term Debt, the default uses 365 days but you can change that to 1 day and it will re-prioritize the debts every day. Debt in Boinc is how much work each project gets compared to your other active projects, when project A gets work but project B doesn't then project B would have more debt than project A.

There is no work. So you will continue to get these errors. Maybe next month they will have something. Your beating a dead topic even more than it needs to be. Your system will get work when there is work. If you don't like the errors showing up in your feed,then remove the project and check back in two weeks or so. CurieMarieDock on BOINC + zipped input, checkpoints and progress bar 0 0 --- 0 CurieMarieDock 0.2.0 long tasks 0 0 --- 0 CurieMarieDock 0.2.0 short tasks 0 0 --- 0 Server software version: 1.1.0 Tasks ready to send 0 Tasks in progress 0 Workunits waiting for validation 0 Workunits waiting for assimilation 0 Workunits waiting for file deletion 0 Tasks waiting for file deletion 0 Transitioner backlog (hours) 0.00 So you will just get messages and messages about what you are going on about, or no work messages until there is work.
