Message 1653 - Posted: 31 Mar 2023, 22:22:27 UTC

Only two boxes got tasks, on one when it was when I first asked. It said I had 7 tasks but they did not show up in the BOINC task section, and within minuets it said the tasks were abandoned.
Then on another box it said it gave it 40 tasks, but reports all 40 as abandoned. Only 2 of 7 boxes got tasks and both don't seem to be right, I did not abandon any tasks, I can't even see them when it says I have them.
Now looking at the history it does not even show any tasks sent. Says something about internet connection OK server must be off line.
I have it set to send AMD and Nvidia GPU, any work and any other work if none are available.
Tried it on several computers with both AMD or Nvidia GPU.

I get other projects' tasks (Einstein, Moo, primegrid) with no issues. Any Ideas?
Thanks
Bill

I just tried Ubuntu on 3 boxes and they seems to be working fine.

The ones that failed/abandoned:
Computers do not have any issues with other projects.
Typical box is a x99/2011v3 i7-5960x or an E5-2097v3 Xeon 16-32gb mem, x299 I9-7900x 32gb mem, i7-8086k ...
GPUs RTX 3070Ti-3080-Radeon VII or Tesla P100
All running win10.

This isn't a Linux only project is it?

It should work fine on Windows, you can see here that most of the computing power comes from Windows GPU applications.

I checked a few of your abandoned tasks, and they all were abandoned because they were already completed by two other participants before you finished them.

Weird they abandoned and never showed in the task section of BOINC manager. I had the account open (website) to my computers on this account, then tasks, and the very first time after installing the project it almost instantly said I received tasks and they were abandoned. And it never gave me more tasks.
Never seen them in the task section of BOINC manager. I was not able to get any working tasks on four computers.

Maybe it is a HTTPS: vs. HTTP: issue. I don't know. I have this (<http_1_0>1</http_1_0>) set in my CC_config file because I had issues with a project not being able to upload tasks and that setting fixed it.
I will fight with it after the FB sprint on Monday.

I figured it out, it was that line in the cc_config for HTTP/HTTPS. <http_1_0>1</http_1_0>
I removed the cc_config file and restarted BOINC and the task started to flow, seem to be running fine.
Hopefully the other project fixed their settings so I don't need to use that again.

Only able to get 27 tasks for my computer with triple 2080 ti's Any one knows why this is happening? I set the request for 10 days work and 5 days work in an effort to get some wu's. It is set for Amicable as the only gpu project.

Thank you,
