Unable to acquire new GPU work

Hello. Forgive me if this is answered or referred to elsewhere, but I'm unable to get any GPU work. I have 2 machines that are giving me the same errors:

It's obviously connecting and when I open those sites in a browser I get an 'OK' in the top left corner, but still no work.

Could you please post the system and config portions of the log (Click refresh then copy and paste). There is a need to know what hardware and what the config settings before one knows the potential cause of such behavior from the client. To my knowledge all the work servers are up and working. However, it is possible to configure the client so as to put your computer into an impossible classification that can never receive a WU.

Here is the log after I deinstalled and reinstalled F@H; still no luck in getting the GPU to find work.

The Server Status page does show that several servers with GPU projects have a limited supply of WUs, particularly ones with projects for the Zeta core with almost every WU has been assigned to someone. As previous WUs are completed, the server generates a new Gen, but it is quickly assigned, quickly reverting to the empty condition. I'll notify the Pande Group, but it's late in California I doubt conditions will change tonight.

Thanks for the update! I'll just let chug away until it acquires something.

I woke this morning to find the same error with mine. Rebooted the machine and my router and I'm now crunching a lovely 13000 :mrgreen:

Why?

Hi All,

Silent Folder calling.

Probably been asked before, but why do the Pande group allow the ASs to run out of WUs.
I have two 7970s sitting waiting to crunch numbers for them. Although the 660TIs still seem to get WUs.

Can't say why, but I do have a suggestion: Change client-type. Each client-type runs off different work servers and when the the work servers for one client-type runs out it doesn't mean the others don't still have WU's.

Now I'm getting the same thing :(

Not convenient to reboot atm, but start/stop the client didn't have any effect... the 650 Ti is complaining about the cold :wink:

Ah well, patience is a virtue... or so they keep telling me.

If you can't get WU's even by changing client-type then you are just plain stuck till they refill the servers with appropriate WU's.
