Won't get new tasks - Windows Desktop PC
Closed this issue · 9 comments
Every project is showing "Won't get new tasks" on my PC. This started happening once World Community Grid starting having issues.
Thank you for the bug report! Can you give me a list of the project weights shown in the output? Are you actually still receiving and crunching tasks or no? Were any projects added/removed recently? I noticed a similar issue on one of my machines where the "highest priority project" was removed from BOINC but the script didn't know so it kept leaving that one on "allow new tasks" in BOINC but of course that command did nothing as BOINC didn't know about the project. If that's the situation, turning the script off, deleting the stats.json file, and then starting the script again will reset the script's list of projects, but I should add a way to detect and automate this.
If that doesn't work, please do the following:
- Turn off script
- Edit config.py so log level is DEBUG. Delete existing debug.log.
- Run script until issue occurs
- Send me debug.log (makeasnek at gmail.com)
- Also please send me a list of projects which are currently attached in BOINC
Alternatively, if your script was already set to debug mode for the log, then just send me the pre-existing log.
I'm running DEBUG right now. I'll send you the log later tonight. However, looking at the logs makes me think that it's not fetching new tasks because it doesn't think any of my non-preferred projects are profitable. I did adjust my local_kwh upwards, so that might be the reason. But, I have the same settings on my Mac computer and it's still fetching tasks.
I'll send the logs over tonight so you can also take a look.
List of projects attached to BOINC:
- Amicable Numbers
- Asteroids@home
- Einstein@Home
- latinsquares
- Milkyway@Home
- NFS@Home
- NumberFields@home
- Rosetta@home
- SiDock@home
- Universe@Home
- yoyo@home
Aah that would make sense, please send me a copy of your config.py as well. In your bug report you show that all projects are set to "NNT", are you actually still receiving enough tasks though (ie is it un-NNTing projects and fetching tasks on occasion)?
Be sure to check the following settings in your config:
only_BOINC_if_profitable
only_mine_if_profitable
If either of these are set to True, it could very well be not fetching work because it determines work to be unprofitable. Note that the debug log will always have entries like "determined project x to be unprofitable" regardless of whether you have it configured to take profitability into account or not, it calculates profitability in the background regardless.
I'm not sure what "NNT" is referring to. I can say that it's not fetching tasks on occasion.
I had only_BOINC_if_profitable set to True. I did a quick test by setting it to False and that got it to fetch new tasks.
What's strange is that my config.py on my PC is identical to my config.py on my Mac. But my Mac is fetching tasks.
Prior to changing my config.py file, I sent it to your email.
NNT = setting a project to "no new tasks". If only_BOINC_if_profitable was set to True, then it sounds like the program is working as expected, it wasn't fetching new tasks because it determined all projects are unprofitable. Let me know if the issue recurs and send me a new debug log if so :).
Just looked at the log, this was definitely the source of the issue: "No projects currently profitable and no benchmarking required, sleeping for 1 hour and killing all non-started tasks"
