Hi,
I've checked my preferences, and Boinc is using those to run. Nothing else seems amiss.

Gundolf, I'm not sure what "checkpoint" means. Looking at the tasks, it seems to be the climate prediction that is causing the problem. This is causing a problem using up all the resources and not letting anything else run.

Best wishes

Paul

Oh yes, another problem: sometimes my client doesn't upload completed results to the server. I had to go into the Boinc manager and click "update". This doesn't seem to be related to any remote server downtime, but something specific to my machine. I've changed no settings recently, so I am at a loss as to what to do.

Hi,
I'm running 6.10.17 i686-pc-linux-gnu
but recently (in the last week) it has been having problems. One specific task will run, even though other tasks and workunits are waiting, and Boinc will not switch to the other tasks. I've tried disconnecting from the project(s) that are causing trouble and starting again, but with no luck. Whereas before this, Boinc will happily run more than one task at the same time, now it is stuck on running only one at a time.

Can anyone suggest a remedy?

Thanks

Paul
