All of the tasks on one set of machines seems to have gone well over the 12 hours that is typical recently. All of them are up over 2.5 days of wall time, some of them are up to over 6 days of wall time.

BOINC will not upload and report until they stop running. BOINC will not contact the project web site until they stop running. Someplace the internal stop signal seems to have gone missing.

Hello, I´ve the same problem with 6.11.4 and Win XP (32b). Progress bar is at 0 % all the time.

Sebastien,

I would think that as 6.11.x is in beta testing. it might be prudent to continue with the current apps until 6.11.x is released to the public. Designing apps to run on the beta may be a waste of time. Many things will change as the bugs are worked out. I know many users like to keep up with the current upgrades but you can be asking for troubles (as is stated in the disclaimer). I would prefer to have work for my computer and wait til the beta is released to the public to see if any changes are needed. Just my $.02 worth

It seems theere is a problem with version 6.11.x.

I've just similar problem with DC 2.31 task wu_1295715071_80772_0. Its Elapsed time is 68:25:24 hours, progress 34.482% and does not seem to increment. It is consuming (some) CPU cycles, used 9 CPU seconds (other tasks on the machine used around 23-25 seconds for 100% - seems to correspond to the progress) has network connections open, but does not seem to be willing to go home after the usual 12 hours...

Peter

No progress in next 15-16 hours... I've tried to abort the task (simplified log, removed new task's download and start):

Same for me. I had a task going for over 34 hours that I aborted.

A few minutes ago my system was so busy, that all BOINC tasks restarted. Well, nearly all - a DC 2.31 task wu_1295715071_124441_0 (I can not add its URL /wuprop.boinc-af.org/result.php?resultid=2048362 because of Akismet kicking in) stayed. Then I've noticed it is already more than two days old and does not progress at all (at 53.793%).

After being started on 6.2. 0:03:55, its last sign of life happened on 6.02.2011 6:29:12. And nothing more, no use of CPU cycles or context switches...

One more DC 2.31 task (wu_1295715071_147548_0 (I can not add its URL /wuprop.boinc-af.org/result.php?resultid=2072478 because of Akismet)), that lost its sense of time. More than one day old and does not progress (starved at 43.448%).

I've noticed that when I abort such "sleepy" task, their output merely tells "aborted by user".

But I've killed the last two tasks' processes. Their existing output remains untouched... voilà!

The yesterday's one:

I released a new application which should solve the problem.

Thanks, I'm looking forward!
I'll keep it in eye ,-)

I released version 2.34.
The workunit should finish when the error "erreur chargement file_transfer" occurs.

I released version 2.34.
The workunit should finish when the error "erreur chargement file_transfer" occurs.

Possibly... But what about "Start-end tags mismatch"? The 2.34 task locked up too (at 43.448%, now 46:43:48 elapsed).
