Things have been much better over the last couple of days.
Getting plenty of GPU separation work now. :)

Same with me. Gets GPU work from time to time but mostly the machine is idle, despite the server status showing plenty of jobs available.
I only do separation on my GPU at the moment.

Yeah, I do remember updating Boinc on this machine using a PPA for some reason.
The reason now escapes me.
I think it was something to do with Rossetta, perhaps graphics (which I don't really care about anyway) but I forget. :)

Everything is good now. 99 mostly completed tasks on the server this morning against the previously errant machine.

Thanks for the replies!

My mistake.

The littleserver1 was running a newer boinc than the rlittlelaptop machine and for some reason it had a problem with coming out of suspend when the machine was inactive.
When I was testing it, I had the machine set to run GPU tasks all the time whereas my preferences were to have it suspended on activity.

I downgraded the boinc and it seems to be working as normal now.

I see the credit figures and they do look reasonable.

However, if you click through to the actual tasks by machine, you will see that "rlittlelaptop" (764322) has a large number of tasks listed, whereas "littleserver1" (822434) isn't even listing any tasks for the 6th or 7th of June.
If I watch the tasks completed, I see them transition to the task page as "completed" but they soon disappear from the machine's list, in a way that the tasks don't for rlittlelaptop.

I should clarify that when I mean disappear from the machine's list, I mean on the website. The GPU jobs take about 4mins each on the machines themselves.

I just wanted to make sure they were not being purged due to computation error.

I was worried about the apparent discrepancy at the server side.

I'm been running GPU work through a couple of machines that I have.

One of them (id=764322) is pumping through GPU work and I see them in the task view for the machine.
One of the others (id=822434), is also pumping through pure GPU work and sending it up. However, for that machine, the jobs quickly disappear from my job list leaving only a very small number remaining.

Both machines are running Linux Mint 19.3.

The first is a laptop with a different NVidia GPU.
The GPU on the second machine is a GTX 1660 (stock everything, no overclocking).

Anybody have any idea what is going on here? Is the work getting rejected for some reason?
