I have a BOINC 8.0.4 running on Raspberry Pi 5 with Ubuntu 24.10

It joined Science United project.

Every time BOINC finish process a batch of tasks. It need to wait a few days before it get another batch.
Is there anything wrong with my set up?

Looking at https://universeathome.pl/universe/server_status.php, they have no tasks ready for processing. Try other projects.

If the Science United client doesn't try a different project, he won't get any tasks. AFAIK, the user has no control over SU client. Only can select different interests. That may be the only way he can shift his client away from the deprecated Universeathome project.

Why, in my opinion, Science United shouldn't exist. Just go with the stock and working BOINC installation and select your own projects to crunch for.
