This is a consequence of changing names of some files in new verison of applications. When this workunits complete it's lifecycle we will recreate them for new application. This error occurs for workunits with an failed first task. ID: 137 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Maybe you noticed that for Windows 7 the get_fraction_done is also not working ... Although not a show stopper. ID: 138 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Should I allow them to run to clear them out,or set No new tasks to stop them? ID: 139 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

A certain number of tasks may come in, try to crunch it. Hope that new tasks for Linux coming soon. ID: 140 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
