I have no idea whether this is a boinc, bionic manager or WCG issue. I only run WCG and have just noticed that boinc manager is showing two tasks "running," time elapsed is clocking over as usual but progress is showing 0.00% and has been for over 30 minutes. I first noticed this last night (different work units) - tried suspending then resuming, but made no different. Aborted those tasks as they were due to expire. Two new tasks started last night and when I checked this morning - same issue. Had been "running" all night, but no progress. I reset the project, rebooted Boinc, and two new tasks were started. These are the two I am now seeing 30 minutes later - exactly the same issue.

I have checked my results stats, and no results have been returned since 30th October, so this has clearly been an issue since then. I have posted on the WCG forum but nobody else appears to be experiencing this issue.

Is this likely to be a Boinc Manager issue? Has anyone here experienced this behaviour?

EDIT: I have just checked again, and time elapsed on these units has "restarted" - now showing they have been running for only 20 seconds!

Sounds like you have BOINC set to "use CPU xx% of the time" instead of setting it at 100% of the time.

To help us with your problem(s), please reply with the following information:

* What version of BOINC do you have installed?

* What operating system is installed on the computer?

* Stop and exit BOINC. Wait 1 minutes before restarting it again.

* Then post the first starting 30 or so lines of the "error log" once tasks start up.

--- Control+Shift+E brings up the screen with the log. Click on the button towards the bottom of the window that says "copy all" and paste in notepad file, then you can copy & paste the contents of the notepad in a reply message here.

I would also ask, which WCG project? (I have only had MCM1 tasks from them for quite a while.) Also worth checking in the WCG forums to see if anyone else has the problem. The event log information should show this but just in case.

Thanks for the replies. Weirdly enough, the issue appears to have resolved itself. I was crunching Mapping Cancer Markers Dave, which now appears to have no work available as I woke up to zero tasks running (or queued).

The old days of crunching are long gone. Very few projects to crunch these days - any of interest anyway. The fun has gone out of it for me.
