Not receiving any O1 beta tasks.

Your machine just will request "CPU jobs" and the server will look at what is available that matches your restrictions and send you something among what is available.

As FGRPB1 is no longer beta status, the system should honor your preference if you turn off the Gamma-ray pulsar binary search #1 option.

I think that would "purify" your request and under current conditions would get the "tuning" GW search or nothing.

Another thing to check is to make sure the preferences you are setting (for accepting test applications, enabling cpu, and disabling undesired applications) are for the one of the four possible locations (aka venues) default, home, work, school, which is actually the one Einstein thinks your computer lives in.

Good luck.

One thing I encourage to try is to make the settings and save them specifically for "default" location. This is just a feeling and I might be totally wrong, but I believe I've had a situation where copying exactly the same settings from one of the custom locations to default location has made a difference on getting work.

When you go to your account page and click the E@H prefs link, are these your primary (default) settings? If you scroll down, are there settings for other locations/venues?

On your account page, if you click the link to view computers on your account and then click the 'details' link for your current computer, what does it say in the 'Location' box at the bottom of the new page?

Cheers,
Gary.

In the scheduler log for

In the scheduler log for frederikhk's last contact at 2016-02-17 19:29:43 UTC all tasks that was sent was "resent lost work" as per one of these lines:

Quote:
2016-02-17 19:29:43.2295 [PID=20682] [debug] [HOST#12194310] MSG(high) Resent lost task LATeah0159E_80.0_2400_-4.22e-10_0


This occurs when the servers list of tasks assigned to Boinc does not agree with what Boinc reports that it has. The server will resend lost tasks in batches of 11 tasks until the lists agree again. This process does not take preferences for what work to get into account so until all tasks have been resent the the server will send what was once assigned to the host.

Just let them all come and if you really really do not want to process them then abort the unwanted tasks.

That's really interesting! I think you've solved the mystery :-).

I had looked at the 'details' page and had seen

and had deduced that all the credit in the very short time had come from a previous incarnation of the machine that had been merged into or acquired by the current hostID. I didn't figure out that the previous ID may have had non-expired work.

So now it seems likely that the previous incarnation had work that became 'lost' perhaps as a result of a wiping followed by a reinstallation or something like that.

If lost tasks are being resent, the event log would clearly show that. I wonder why the OP didn't see/report all those messages showing 'lost' work rather than 'new' work.

Cheers,
Gary.
