	I've had a couple of linux boxes attached to this project for a while, but I've never received a WU, I always get: Sat 02 Jul 2011 17:33:37 BST\|Radioactive@Home\|Sending scheduler request: To fetch work. Requesting 1 seconds of work, reporting 0 completed tasks Sat 02 Jul 2011 17:33:42 BST\|Radioactive@Home\|Scheduler request succeeded: got 0 new tasks Sat 02 Jul 2011 17:33:42 BST\|Radioactive@Home\|Message from server: No tasks sent I notice that there is plenty of work available, and looking at top participants in the statistics, others are getting work and have work in progress. So, what am I doing wrong? Al. p.s. Yes, I know the work is useless as I don't have the sensor, but I don't want to buy one and still get no work :)

	[i]Sat 02 Jul 2011 17:33:37 BST\|Radioactive@Home\|Sending scheduler request: To fetch work. Requesting 1 seconds of work, reporting 0 completed tasks I'm not quiet sure, but your hosts ask for 1 second of work? Try suspend other tasks on one host for while and try again, please. Maybe this is a reason why that problem happened? ____________ Regards, Krzysztof 'krzyszp' Piszczek Android Radioactive@Home Map Android Radioactive@Home Map - donated My Workplace

	I only ever see NCI projects request 1 second of work. Actually, the only NCI tasks I run these days are FreeHAL occasionally, and that gets work OK, despite only ever requesting 1 second. I've got a host about to run dry, I'll see what happens and post back. Oh, I'm running 5.10.45 BOINC client (and manager) - No idea if there is a newer linux version, and no intention of 'upgrading' :) Al.

	No luck. Host is dry, all projects set to priority 100 apart from this one that I set to 1000. Still requesting 1 second of work, still seeing the same messages. Weird. Al.

	I will investigate your problem, it is very interesting for me :) As I check, your host is Linux machine (that ok) and have no other tasks to do currently. Can you tell me, what distribution you use, please? Also, I will to talk with TJM (he is a server administrator) and we will really check where is the problem... Sorry for delay in answers, but it is weekend and I can't spend as much time as I want on project... ____________ Regards, Krzysztof 'krzyszp' Piszczek Android Radioactive@Home Map Android Radioactive@Home Map - donated My Workplace

	Distro is Ubuntu 8.04 Running another project now, and this project is still requesting 1 second, and still getting nothing. Don't worry about delays replying, it's not urgent :) Al.

	I think that it might be a problem with 5.10 manager (I'm not sure if it is able to handle 0.01CPU apps), however I'll check the scheduler log, perhaps I'll find answer there.
