Greetings!!

Joyfully, new WU were downloaded and processed.
Then, new WU were delivered in a suspended (req by user) state.
Anyone know why?

Is there a daily max?
I have set my Boinc option to get 1.5 days of WU.Is that considered hoarding?

I have been unable to use either project or task controls in BOINC to get the task to resume.
I have other projects with no tasks available (SI-Dock, Asteroids, and LHC.)
I have set Einstein@home to 'No New Work' when I try to get DENIS tasks.

I have aborted all tasks, reinstalled Boinc and boinc-client; and rebooted; new WU are all suspended.

I looked into the code for possible reasons and found these:
:/var/lib/boinc-client/projects/denis.usj.es_denisathome$ strings DENIS_Fiber_1.00_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu |grep -i susp

Any suggestions?
I can't find a linux process that be running a timer. None of the suspended tasks show up on 'htop'.

Thanks in advance,
Jay
PS, I have 28 (suspended) DENIS tasks, a CPU with 8 processors, and each task has an estimated
run time of 1:28:36

1.5*28/8 = 5.25 hours. Not too much....

PPS
Would there be a debug flag to help?

Well to start with there's a whole bunch of 'suspend on' rules you have there, ie suspend if user is active, suspend batteries, suspend cpu throttle ,etc etc. I would go thru and turn all of them off, except the network one as that could cost you money, and then see if the tasks run. Remember to also suspend all other Projects as you just want to figure out how to run these Dennis tasks, once that happens you can work on how to find a nice work unit balance.

Thanks, Mikey!

i Rechecked the options- both on the web and local.
I even unchecked the battery option - even as I have no battery.

Another weird tidbit:
I have two PCs - both running Linux Mint 22.1
One has an AMD processor, the other an Intel
The Intel ran the New Denis WU.
The AMD suspends.

and a recap.
Everything was working OK - Until Wednesday, when this started> I can abort all; reset and remove the DENIS project;
reboot; and run memory tests; review debug flags and try again.

Thanks again!!
Jay
