GPU Linux problems

I have recently started GPU folding. I am using a Ubuntu based system and it seemed to run fine for a few weeks. Now it starts up OK, but it never recieves work...for example...

[17:47:12] - Attempt #4 to get work failed, and no other work to do.
Waiting before retry.
[17:48:04] + Attempting to get work packet
[17:48:04] - Will indicate memory of 987 MB
[17:48:04] - Connecting to assignment server
[17:48:04] Connecting to http://assign-GPU.stanford.edu:8080/

[17:48:04] Connecting to http://171.64.122.70:8080/
[17:48:05] Posted data.
[17:48:05] Initial: 0000; - Receiving payload (expected size: 70879)
[17:48:05] Conversation time very short, giving reduced weight in bandwidth avg
[17:48:05] - Downloaded at ~138 kB/s
[17:48:05] - Averaged speed for that direction ~82 kB/s
[17:48:05] + Received work.
[17:48:05] - Attempt #5 to get work failed, and no other work to do.
Waiting before retry.

What am I doing wrong? Its been doing this for a week or so (this is my first chance to address).

Thanks for your help...

I have two GPU clients in Ubuntu that have been getting all the work units they want.

It's strange that it does look like it is connecting with the server and downloads the wu but does not acknowledge that it did. Try deleting your F@H directory and staring over. Sometimes the client just gets stuck.

Great call Zerix! I deleted the work folder, the unitinfo and the queuedata and it started right up!

Thanks for the excellent help!

That is what ever is set in the config file. I'm pretty sure it means system RAM and not video RAM the same as the SMP client.
