I'm using 5.8.16
I can't get work on any of my 3 projects.
I tryed reseting all of them ut every time I update a project it says: (not requesting new work or reporting completed tasks)

There is 20G free on that hard drive.

About half an hour after I reseted all the projects, it started downloading again.

Thanks

have a look in the client_state.xml file for the below values:

<time_stats>
<on_frac>0.987646</on_frac>
<connected_frac>1.000000</connected_frac>
<active_frac>0.990978</active_frac>
<cpu_efficiency>0.969042</cpu_efficiency>

If the fractions are like 0.000999 or smaller, you had an event.

Also find the projects "Duration Correction Factors". If they are like large say greater than the project due dates u wont get work either. Not important for CPDN as the due date is years, but Einstein I believe is quite short. Project resets normally put the 1.000000 value in there.

Assume your activity menu is set to process according preferences or always.

You can always delete the client_state.xml and restart.... rather radical.

Doesn't that delete just cause BOINC to use client_state.xml.bak...?

Don't know. I never tried it. But that seems like the logical thing that would happen.

Maybe this weekend I'll give it a whirl with a clean install and see what happens.

Looked back at someone's older instruction and it says

"Delete client_state.xml and client_state_prev.xml" (me bad)

There is no such *.bak file, at least not on my systems.

Hmmm... I wonder when the *.bak file disappeared. I don't have it either. And I'm too tired to search the check-in notes to find out.

BOINC never made a client_state.bak file.

It's BOINCDV (Debt Viewer) that makes the backup file (.bak) when you clear the debts.

You're right...........guess I was asleep at the wheel.....had the right concept, wrong file name.
