Are you still having problems? I see all 6 tricles have uploaded which means you will get your credit. Did zips 5 and 6 upload or do they have the same problem as 4? ID: 64074 · Reply Quote

Last modified: 22 Jun 2021, 20:53:39 UTC Thanks for your reply. I just found out that I had a second WU finished today that was also not uploading. I decided to suspend all tasks and restart the machine. Hopefully it wouldn't break any of the running WU. And fortunately it didn't. And it solved the both uploading problems. Thanks again Candido ID: 64075 · Reply Quote

Yes, but these WU's hate re-boots. I wonder if this is still true. I just had to replace the UPS on my machine, and that required new software to interface to it. While configuring that I accidentally powered down the machine by turning off the power to it. I did not even press the stop button on the machine, much less doing the normal shutdown. And four CPDN N215 models were running. When the machine came back up, those models resumed without complaint. ID: 64078 · Reply Quote

I wonder if this is still true. I certainly don't lose as many as I used to. I sometimes get away with no failures on a reboot with 8 tasks running but it is still an issue. My anecdotal perception is that reboots involving a kernel upgrade are more likely to produce a failure but I haven't recorded this so it may not make any difference at all. I do get the odd failure on reboots with CPDN and don't remember any with other projects though as the longest tasks I run from other projects are only a couple of days, the chances of them running during a reboot are much lower when mostly my running them means no work from CPDN.

Neither do I lose as much as I used to but I still do, now and then. Current lot three. 1) Computer did an auto-re-boot after the update (Peter. I had set it to update after one month). 2) This one I lost due to power failure. 3) The WU was feeling tetchy. It is quite possible we are getting used to the shenanigans of these WU"s? Three WU's out of thirty-six is not bad. ID: 64080 · Reply Quote
