Hello everyone,

I have attached my quad to R@H and downloaded one WU which crunched successfully. Fine, it seems the last long lived pesky bug has been ironed out.

After having crunched this unit, i noticed BOINC manager didn't download any one more. SO i clicked "update" and got nothing else than:

mar 05 nov 2013 11:19:05 CET | rosetta@home | update requested by user
mar 05 nov 2013 11:19:06 CET | rosetta@home | Sending scheduler request: Requested by user.
mar 05 nov 2013 11:19:06 CET | rosetta@home | Requesting new tasks for NVIDIA
mar 05 nov 2013 11:19:08 CET | rosetta@home | Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks

Even if i suspend einstein@home, which is my main project i get no more rosetta tasks. Something else: i have a virtual machine running boinc with r@H only. To switch from the to the "real" machine i set the boinc manager form the VM to "no more tasks". To see if it could solve the problem i allowed new tasks on the virtual machine. Then only the "real" machine accepted new tasks.

I find this strange. On another machine i set einstein to "no more tasks" and it doesnt block my other machine from crunching for einstein. Maybe it is because the VM and the "real" machine share the same ip ?

And that message mentioning nvidia while there are no GPU WUs and the fatc it refused CPU units still puzzles me.

The only way that I can think of that the settings on real vs. virtual machine could impact each other would be if the BOINC Manager assigned them both the same host ID. You can see the host ID for each project at the top of the messages when BOINC starts up.

But the other consideration is that when one "machine" is up, the other is not, and so the BOINC Manager may believe it is running on a machine that is not typically powered on very long, and so perhaps it estimates you would not complete work before the deadline or something.

And my question is: "Why no NVIDIA tasks?"
