(moderation:
I have been without W.U.'s for Einstein for 2 days now. Every time I attempt a manual update it states that I am not looking for more work.
a) Is there a problem with Einstien ?
b) If I manualy update any Bionic application,I am looking for work. How do I get it to always ask for new work?

Your E@H resource share is 33%. So BOINC is (presumably) running other projects now. How BOINC determines which project to run is described here: [[Work_Scheduler]].

RE: I have been without

I have been having the same problem but it has now been six days since I last had a WU. Yes I do run other projects but a new WU should have at least downloaded by now. My log states like others:
23/06/2007 00:54:52|Einstein@Home|(not requesting new work or reporting completed tasks)
Why is it not requesting new work?
Ignore the last post. I have

Ignore the last post. I have suspended my other two projects and Einstein has now finally downloaded a new WU.

If you want to give priority to Einstein, the better thing to do is increase its resource share via the project specific preferences on the web.

RE: If you want to give

They all have equal shares (33%) and the other two projects had been running in turns fine, but Einstein seemed to be left out.
RE: RE: If you want to

Probably not. It's probably just paying back CPU time to the other projects.
Open up client_state.xml with a plain text editor. Search for and post the numbers for each project back here. But yeah, I'm guessing it's a debt issue.

The same thing happens to me,

The same thing happens to me, from time to time. E@H just refuses to send any job... resetting doesn't work either. Only detach and reattach fixed it.
RE: The same thing happens

Or you could just leave BOINC alone and let it do its job. When the CPU time taken by Einstein has been given back to the other project or projects, Einstein will again download work and crunch it. Just leave it be. It's by design.
RE: RE: The same thing

Same problem here. I get messages like:
-Message from server: platform 'windows_x86_64' not found
-Deferring communication for 1 days0 hr 0 min
So, I guess change from XP to Vista (64bit) wasn't such a good idea
RE: RE: RE: The same

You have the same symptom (no work) with a different underlying cause (64 bit client/OS versus debt issues).
What version of BOINC are you running? If it's the 64 bit 5.10.7, once the backend here is upgraded, you'll be sent the 32 bit version. If it's a 3rd party compile of the client, you'll need to do the app_info.xml trick. You'll have to search the boards here for what you need. But basically it's all the project files plus the information to put into the app_info.xml file (it's just plain text saved with a .xml extension). The app_info trick may work with the official Berkeley client. I'm not 100% sure on it, but I see no reason why it wouldn't.
