Hello everybody!

Today I updated to Version 5.10.28 and added two projects. The client downloaded new WU for both projects but now it never starts computing.
I tried to change the preferences online and local but nothing changed. Even if choose "Activity --> Run always" in GUI it's suspending!
The strange things are:
- There is no line like "suspending because of user activity" or so in the log-file
- "Tasks"-Page in GUI says "Status":"suspending" for both projects
- "Projects"-Page in GUI is without any status for both projects. This field is just empty.

Any idea how to get my WU computed?

Thx, nanority
PS: Sorry for my bad english.

If you select the tasks one by one in the Tasks tab, do you see a resume button on the left? If you do, click it please.

No, there is always the "Suspend"-Button visible. So, no project or task is on suspend.

Can you post the contents of your global_prefs.xml file and if it exists, the contents of you global_prefs_override.xml file, please? Both can be found in your general BOINC directory.

Sure, no problem. Here they are:

I think this is it:
<suspend_if_no_recent_input>1</suspend_if_no_recent_input>

When you go to your preferences at the Seti site, what do you have set for the option "Suspend work if no mouse/keyboard activity in last" ??

If it's set to 1 minute, please set it to zero minutes (or ---), save changes, Update BOINC. See what that does.

What the option does is suspend BOINC when there's been no input from a mouse or keyboard for that amount of minutes.

Ok, now it's working. Thanks.
Now I have just to figure out how to get it stop working if I am active as I want to :-/

OK, the override preferences from the Advanced menu in BOINC Manager tell BOINC at this moment to run if user is active. While your normal preferences tell BOINC to run only after it's been idle for 1 minute.

The override preferences override on the normal preferences. (as the name would expect ;-)) So to do what you want, either tell in the advanced preferences not to run while computer is in use, or clear the advanced preferences completely with the Clear button.
