    I've got einstein running on 4 Linux Fedora 34 machines.

    One machine has 6 Cores and just checked it, and nothing was running?? ran the manager, and it showed a large number of task, but all were listed as wanting cpu and gpu, and were just saying gpu was suspended?? It is an old ATI video card and has the standard Fedora BOINC running.. I ended resetting the project and then it downloaded new units, but this time it downloaded a bunch of units, and they are running just fine, and has a number of other units that are now waiting to run as well, but just checked again, and it has a number of units listed as wanting the GPU and CPU?? So, it appears I will have to abort all of them at some point since they will not run. Is there a way to have einstein not download units that want GPU since they don't work on this machine.

      Yes, there is.  Just go into your account at Preferences >> Project Preferences and uncheck Use of all of the gpu types.  Then Save at the bottom.

      Alternatively, on the same page in Applications, uncheck all the gpu applications and Save.
