	I seem to have stopped running GPUGRID jobs for the last ~12 days, though other GPU BOINC projects run jobs and there seems enough jobs in the queue: Event log: Tue 18 Jul 2017 05:45:25 PM EDT \| GPUGRID \| update requested by user Tue 18 Jul 2017 05:45:28 PM EDT \| GPUGRID \| sched RPC pending: Requested by user Tue 18 Jul 2017 05:45:28 PM EDT \| GPUGRID \| [sched_op] Starting scheduler request Tue 18 Jul 2017 05:45:28 PM EDT \| GPUGRID \| Sending scheduler request: Requested by user.

	Exit BOINC manager with stopping scientific applications, and then update your NVidia driver.

	I've enable other debug flags but am unable to determine why no work units received since early July. I've enjoyed contributing to this project, particularly seeing the resultant publications, and would like to continue. Of course there is WCG, but I'd like to continue with GPUGrid as well. Others things I've checked: Updated client and manager to boinc-client-7.6.33-2.2.x86_64 (Suse Tumbleweed repos) Ensured 32 bit libs needed were installed http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Installing_on_Linux Turned on additional debugging in /var/lib/boinc/cc_config.xml Verified client_state.xml values look okay https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=10936 Checked client logs in ~/.BOINC Any other suggestions for how to troubleshoot would be appreciated.

	Hi Jacob, Unfortunately, updating the Nvidia driver to 384.47 didn't improve things. Cheers, Pete

	It seems to be an issue with the server software. Might be impossible to troubleshoot further, without a GPUGRID dev/admin to look into it. Sorry.

	Perhaps the server put your host to the blacklist forever. To fix this you should try to force the BOINC manager to request a new host ID for your host. You can do it by stopping the BOINC manager, editing the client_state.xml, searching for <hostid>260678</hostid>, and replace the number to the number of a previous host of yours (or a random number, if you don't have an older host), saving the client_state.xml, and restaring the BOINC manager. Maybe it won't work for the first time, so you might try this a couple of times.

	Thanks for the suggestion on changing hostid in client_state.xml - and for the tip on stopping boinc manager (and verifying with ps) as otherwise the value reverts. I replaced the old hostid (260678) and re-used an older hostid (94323), which has propagated up and is reflected as the currently active host at http://www.gpugrid.net/hosts_user.php?sort=rpc_time&rev=0&show_all=1&userid=63993 Still no new tasks are received.

	Thanks Jacob! I've been reading posts and the wiki, piecing together the responses and their meaning, but your post was one of the clearest I've seen. I suspended other projects today while debugging (which is maybe the exact wrong thing to do as the priority scheduler may then never escalate GPUGRID?) thus the no CPU or GPU tasks running. The update button is being used but does not clear any project backoffs or resouce backoffs - though again perhaps this is related to scheduler and resource share tracking? Would temporarily detaching from all other projects eliminate scheduling contention possible reasons for the backoff, or is that not a correct route to pursue? (The odd thing though is no changes were made in early July, when tasks stopped being received, but of course there maybe be more than one issue in the stack being resolved.) Thank you everyone for the suggestions.

	Clicking "Update", while project GPUGrid is highlighted, should clear its backoffs. If you don't mind losing in-progress work, or stats on your host, or setting up your BOINC environment again ..... then you might consider uninstalling BOINC, removing your data folder, then reinstalling BOINC. As I said before, I think there must be a server-side bug that is preventing the server-side-scheduler from sending work to Linux clients. Unfortunately, GPUGrid admins haven't been offering much help to us peon users as of late.

	I have also been having trouble getting tasks for my Win7 machine -- keep getting "no tasks available" when server status shows that plenty are available. This has been going on for several weeks. Now and then I will actually get a task -- but usually not. Also been happening with my XP machine -- but not as often. (No remarks about XP plese . . .) ____________

	So long GPUGrid... I've enjoyed contributing to this project (off and on since 2010) but the amount of debug time, just to get tasks, is far too high - and the periods of no tasks far to long. Other BOINC projects run fine, with no feeder issues and rare server issues. Several years ago I ran Folding at Home on a PS3, but never checked out their Linux client. A quick visit to their site and minutes later I'm crunching long runs on my GPU. It was so easy. I might give GPUGrid another shot in the future, but for now I'm glad to be able to contribute once again to another GPU cancer research project. I'm glad there are many users who are able to contribute to GPUGrid, but happy I decided to look again at F@H. Thanks to everyone who took the time to answer my questions. Cheers,

	Hi, Having the exact same problem here. Running a windows 10 laptop with a GTX 670M. Haven't got new tasks from this project for weeks despite 1000 + being available. All other projects crunch on the GPU just fine. I'm glad I'm not the only one having this problem. I'm getting no new tasks, either for CPU or GPU, from this project. Haven't changed anything on the machine. I must say this is pretty frustrating - I think it may be time to look elsewhere for me, too, until this gets resolved. Here's hoping it's soon!

	Hi Jacob, Unfortunately, updating the Nvidia driver to 384.47 didn't improve things. Cheers, Pete

	It seems to be an issue with the server software. Might be impossible to troubleshoot further, without a GPUGRID dev/admin to look into it. Sorry.

	Perhaps the server put your host to the blacklist forever. To fix this you should try to force the BOINC manager to request a new host ID for your host. You can do it by stopping the BOINC manager, editing the client_state.xml, searching for <hostid>260678</hostid>, and replace the number to the number of a previous host of yours (or a random number, if you don't have an older host), saving the client_state.xml, and restaring the BOINC manager. Maybe it won't work for the first time, so you might try this a couple of times.

	Thanks for the suggestion on changing hostid in client_state.xml - and for the tip on stopping boinc manager (and verifying with ps) as otherwise the value reverts. I replaced the old hostid (260678) and re-used an older hostid (94323), which has propagated up and is reflected as the currently active host at http://www.gpugrid.net/hosts_user.php?sort=rpc_time&rev=0&show_all=1&userid=63993 Still no new tasks are received.

	Thanks Jacob! I've been reading posts and the wiki, piecing together the responses and their meaning, but your post was one of the clearest I've seen. I suspended other projects today while debugging (which is maybe the exact wrong thing to do as the priority scheduler may then never escalate GPUGRID?) thus the no CPU or GPU tasks running. The update button is being used but does not clear any project backoffs or resouce backoffs - though again perhaps this is related to scheduler and resource share tracking? Would temporarily detaching from all other projects eliminate scheduling contention possible reasons for the backoff, or is that not a correct route to pursue? (The odd thing though is no changes were made in early July, when tasks stopped being received, but of course there maybe be more than one issue in the stack being resolved.) Thank you everyone for the suggestions.

	Clicking "Update", while project GPUGrid is highlighted, should clear its backoffs. If you don't mind losing in-progress work, or stats on your host, or setting up your BOINC environment again ..... then you might consider uninstalling BOINC, removing your data folder, then reinstalling BOINC. As I said before, I think there must be a server-side bug that is preventing the server-side-scheduler from sending work to Linux clients. Unfortunately, GPUGrid admins haven't been offering much help to us peon users as of late.

	I have also been having trouble getting tasks for my Win7 machine -- keep getting "no tasks available" when server status shows that plenty are available. This has been going on for several weeks. Now and then I will actually get a task -- but usually not. Also been happening with my XP machine -- but not as often. (No remarks about XP plese . . .) ____________

	So long GPUGrid... I've enjoyed contributing to this project (off and on since 2010) but the amount of debug time, just to get tasks, is far too high - and the periods of no tasks far to long. Other BOINC projects run fine, with no feeder issues and rare server issues. Several years ago I ran Folding at Home on a PS3, but never checked out their Linux client. A quick visit to their site and minutes later I'm crunching long runs on my GPU. It was so easy. I might give GPUGrid another shot in the future, but for now I'm glad to be able to contribute once again to another GPU cancer research project. I'm glad there are many users who are able to contribute to GPUGrid, but happy I decided to look again at F@H. Thanks to everyone who took the time to answer my questions. Cheers,

	Thanks as well for crunching for us. Sorry we can't help you right now but we are aware of the problems with the current implementation. Hopefully in the near future we will find time to improve on it.

	I just wished F@H was in Boinc environment.

	Hi, Having the exact same problem here. Running a windows 10 laptop with a GTX 670M. Haven't got new tasks from this project for weeks despite 1000 + being available. All other projects crunch on the GPU just fine. I'm glad I'm not the only one having this problem. I'm getting no new tasks, either for CPU or GPU, from this project. Haven't changed anything on the machine. I must say this is pretty frustrating - I think it may be time to look elsewhere for me, too, until this gets resolved. Here's hoping it's soon!
