Topic 189293

Odd. I woke this morning to find all but my CPDN wu sitting 100% finished and "Uploading" all just sitting there. I discovered the connection from my router to the net was dead. I restarted it and all the wu's for all the projects uploaded.

Thing is, none have sent me any new work? I have just the CPDN unit on my machine now, which being an HT machine means that one CPU is running the Idle process.

I have tried Updating and Resetting without any result, the messages look normal. I find it hard to believe that all 4 projects have nothing for me right now.

Any ideas?

Can't get work.

I have fixed it, never mind. I edited the client_state.xml file to generate debt.

No, it does matter.

With two processors the scheduler in the client should figure out that you need more work, not refuse to download just cos all the other projects are in credit.

So in my opinion it counts as a bug, and your second post counts as a workaround.

The problem was it would not

The problem was it would not download work from anywhere at all, regardless. The business with an idle CPU has, according to JM7 been fixed in the 4.45 core.

I am still not sure what the problem was. My later experiments have lead me to doubt somewhat my workaround alone was what fixed it. It did, however, start working right after I did those mods.

What did happen was my benchmarks got totally screwed. You can read about it at this thread at S@H's forums. Or browse my results here, bear in mind the date the event happened, and look at my "claimed" figures for the period between the event and last night when I re-calculated my benchmarks.

The "In progress" wu from the 5th is not on my system - a further symptom of the event possibly?
