I have two raspberry pi 400s, running the same version of BOINC and both set with preferences from the universe@home account page. One of the machines is chugging along normally while the other is down to three tasks in its queue with none pending. I've tried rebooting the machine and hitting the update button on the BOINC manager but no dice. Any advice on what to try next? On the BOINC manager ther is a "reset project" button that I am wary to try since I don't know if it erases anything important. Thank You for any help -Mike ID: 6007 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Below are the last ~15 events or so in my node's event log and I saw the lack of disk space error. I checked and found ~1600 screenshots in the home directory which I deleted and now Universe@home is now running fine. The housecat must have taken a nap on the keyboard at some point! Grant, you taught me an important lesson tht I'll take to heart: check the event log . Case closed and thank you. -Mike Wed 25 Jan 2023 11:54:29 AM PST \| Universe@Home \| Project requested delay of 11 seconds Wed 25 Jan 2023 11:58:49 AM PST \| Universe@Home \| update requested by user Wed 25 Jan 2023 11:58:51 AM PST \| Universe@Home \| Sending scheduler request: Requested by user.
