Hello,

I am running boinc 5.2.13 on a dual CPU machine under Linux. Recently, I have encountered the following problem - although boinc seems to work on two processes, one of them doesnt get done, the percentage stays the same (I dont how it could get to non zero value).
The other process is runnig just fine, and if I suspend it, then instead of working on the 1st one, boinc start downloading yet another job.
If I reatsrt boinc client, then it gives the following messages:
2006-07-24 10:20:21 [---] Suspending work fetch because computer is overcommitted.
2006-07-24 10:20:21 [---] Using earliest-deadline-first scheduling because computer is overcommitted.
Any idea what is happening? Thank you.

Renat.

What is the result that isn't progressing? Which project is it from? Have you tried to abort that result?

But read up on the Work Scheduler to find why you get these informational messages. Yes, they are informational messages, not errors.
