You can limit the number running using app_config.xml file in Rosetta's project directory.
Create/amend then from menu select Read config files.

There were a load of units with build errors causing failure early on, within a minute.
Now all I have processed so far appear good.

Now 9 of 9 re-sends with similar failure - "ERROR: Unable to find desired residue...", as did originals.

WCG had some mis-configuration, now fixed after a couple of iterations.
May show http short term but IIRC comms is https.
See WCG forum for details.

I keep getting this though:

This project seems to have changed its URL. When convenient, remove the project, then add https://master.worldcommunitygrid.org/

When I tried that address, it didn't work at all, I got:

Not found in the database
Invalid ID
I've changed over 3 of 4 PCs successfully enough. The only difficulty was a work machine where our email address changed after originally joining 12yrs ago. but I worked it out in the end.
I guess I'll have to do my phone as well, now I think about it.
Tasks are in short supply and only for the useless OPN project that I've seen.
But I wasn't expecting tasks until the end of the month, so anything is a bonus right now
Are you saying you changed your PCs to master instead of www? That does not work for me, I just tried it again, I'm not found in the database.

I got one OPN yesterday, and 7 OPNs today, that's with 10 devices attached to it, which will check every so often when they're low on work from other projects, since WCG will have a debt on them.

I've read in the WCG forum there's some technical problems. Others have reported an error of a lack of disk space on the server when returning results (odd).


No need to change/remove/add for new URL, that is an error not resolved yet.
Only a few units going out so far for MCM and OPN1 (CPU) for testing so far.

Disk space message was due to a sick server, removed pending fix.

Post:
It was not clear to me in the logs but checking showed app_config entries with GPU sections added and mangled.
That was OK in previous BOINC versions for CPU projects but bad format caused 7.16.6 to not request work.

Sorted.
I had edited app_config to limit Rosetta to 1 task running with BoincTasks.
This was OK on earlier versions of BOINC but this version silently failed.

Thanks Grant.
Only tasks I have are 8 WCG, 4 running so I tried suspending those to force Rosetta to fetch.
System has been running for several days, just forced a benchmark to be sure, still won't request.
Other systems request and get some units but often see memory or disk message as modest PCs.

Thanks Mikey.
Work share is 900 WCG and 100 Rosetta with 1.2 plus .1 days work.
Currently about .5 day loaded as WCG units limited by number to 8.
Also I tried suspending waiting WCG units and 1 running unit and still not requesting.

1 PC will not request work ,even if other waiting units and 1 executing suspended.
BOINC 7.16.6 on Ubuntu 20.04 newly built.
WCG CPU units working OK.
Can anyone help interpret and debug.

I had that with a task.
Checked it's requirements in client_state.xml and it wanted 4000000000 memory (PC had only 4G).
So it would only have run alone.
I shut down BOINC and edited to 2000000000 and it ran with max about 3.5G alongside other tasks.
