First check... but i assume that Boinc is running and other jobs are fine, right? (Upload and download?)Originally Posted by jlangner
Then, please check the web page and see if it has that stuck WU is marked as timed out (no reply) or with some other error... The easiest way to find it is go to your computers list from your 'User Page', then look down through the list for that WU number....
If expired or 'client error' or whatever it will have to come out. If not, hammer it again and again (6 times max, 1 per minute) until you get an error in the status on the web page.
If Removal required....To do this by hand is easy, just get it all in 1 shot.
1) Shut down BOINC/Predictor and edit the client.xml file (in the top level predictor directory) to remove that job from the list.....(Edit using an editor that supports LONG lines and formatting... like Wordpad in Windows). You will find that there are multiple files which comprise that WU, you must get them all. Just watch the XML tags (like HTML tags), deleting each file element from start tag to 'slashed' end tag.
2) You must write down the WU name and # and then go to your predictor\projects\-url- folder and remove (delete) all components of the WU. Most likely, you will find just the .res file (result).
3) Once all are gone, you may restart predictor and it will be gone.
I *ASSUME* you did not move the job from one CPU to another, did you?
If so, it will never upload.
Also, If this was a job running at time of a crash, you must wait until ALL jobs are gone from your run queue (disable network access is the easiest) and the 'slots' folder(s) should be empty.
Make sense?
