Message 26847 - Posted: 28 Aug 2009, 18:07:35 UTC

I started running a machine that I have not used in a while and for some reason it says that the time the Boinc Client is running is so small it can't complete many CPU apps,and won't give me new WU's. I decided to install the latest Beta of the Boinc Manager 6.10.0 could that be the problem. No matter what the cause, how do I change this, as Boinc runs 24/7 on all my machines. My other 2 machines list run percentages of 99.7198 % and 92.6031 %. Below is the actual error message I get.


Message from server: (won't finish in time) BOINC runs 0.7% of time, computation enabled 100.0% of that

Since you have no tasks on that machine, try a Reset project on the Projects tab. If that doesn't help, try detach/reattach.

If you're happy editing an XML file you could stop BOINC and edit the file client_state.xml in your BOINC data directory.

At about line 25 you'll see something like

<on_frac>0.006750</on_frac>

Change the ".00" to ".99", save the file, restart BOINC and your work requests should start working.
