no WU in "Tasks"
So, after UGM started the problems arrived on one machine...described here:
https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread?thread=37365
I did disabled the signature in Preferences, as suggested...

After I did finish all the MCM & CEP tasks finished...only CAMB remained for the CPU (Cosmology@home)...Update in Projects window, didn't do any good...
So I Reseted the Project...nothing happend, exepct I now have ONLY images in WCG BoincDATA directory...
After that I did the REINSTALL, RESTART of Win7, Reset of the Project & Update of the Project...nothing happend, exept:

Re: no WU in "Tasks"
The 'Not requesting tasks' message is a clue.
Can get more information by adding a line to your cc_config.xml file:

<log_flags>
.
.
<sched_ops>1</sched_ops>
.
.
</log_flags>

This should give more information on why no tasks are being requested

Re: no WU in "Tasks"
I was expecting a reason not just zero times.

If this PC's BOINC is also used for other projects, have you tried suspending all other tasks and then requesting work from WCG.

What version of agent is klik running? Agent 7 gives a reason, the latest 7.4 even a more expanded description. There's a whole range of descriptions why no work is fetched to include that of if a project is overworked.

Re: no WU in "Tasks"
Ok, so your other thread posted.

<core_client_version>7.2.47</core_client_version>

Your GPU projects could of course reserve cpu cores? App_info and app_config and cc_config are the places where this is messed with. You know best what you put in any of these.

Normally, if you suspend all other projects and up the buffer setting some, there'd be a work fetch attempt.

Btw, there's only a wcg version of 7.2.47, which is 32 bit, but not relevant as this agent also handles the 64 bit science apps.

sorry, 7.2.47...

yes, GPUs do...about 2-10% SETI@home on nVIDIA Quadro 2000...& about 0,1-0,2% SETI@home on intel HD 2500...
so that is not much, on a i5-3470 processor...running on a designed 3,2GHz...

here is the cc_config & app_config for WCG...any ideas?

10d buffer set...still no WUs... :/

Re: no WU in "Tasks"
A 10 day buffer is telling wcg that completed work will -not- return before any deadline.

fahv/faah 10 days
mcm/ugm 7 days
cep2 10 days?

But your cc_config tells the story

<fetch_minimal_work>1</fetch_minimal_work>

Why did you activate that option? It gives 1 task, no more as the manual says, that few read:

Fetch one job per device (see --fetch_minimal_work). New in 6.11

Re: no WU in "Tasks"
There's another useful option, if wcg is not highest priority to fetch work.

<fetch_on_update>1</fetch_on_update>

Irrespective if wcg is not first port of call to buffer up, on hitting wcg > update, there's where work is fetched. Kind of helps those pulling hair or are into deep micromanaging and want to make sure beta's are fetched, if in pipe smile
