1) Message boards : Number crunching : New work Discussion (Message 63284) Posted 6 Jan 2021 by JTM Post: Could you post the lines from the event log under the tools menu from when you request work? This will let us see if it is probably the same issue as others have experienced. Alse, this may be nothing to do with your issue but do make sure that when requesting work manually via the update button you wait at least an hour after the last request otherwise a setting on the server will send a message that the last request was too recent. Thanks for the response, though my VM client is now chewing on two tasks! I restarted my VM less than an hour before the successful fetch, so I don't have the error log from a failed fetch. From memory, there was nothing obvious in the log for a failure, just 'got 0 new tasks' and 'project requested delay of 3636 seconds'. The last change I made was to reload the 32-bit libraries following a post elsewhere in the forum, so perhaps this was my issue? Seems to be solved now, thanks again. J.

I'm in the same boat as some others here, having installed BOINC on a Linux VM running on one of my windows PCs and receiving no tasks. I have checked the 'no_alt_platform' parameter is zero, installed the 32-bit libraries and set up the VM with 4 cores (out of 32) and 16GB RAM (also from 32, I can shunt some around between machines as needed once up and running). Can I ask if there are any updates on this topic, or proposed solutions? I've checked parameters, removed and reattached the project already. Thanks! J.
