Desktop App stuck

it looks like my app is stuck and doing this for some reason:

[

“time”: “03/10/2019, 00:00:58”,
“text”: " Task MCM1_0154654_5031_0 postponed for 600 seconds: Waiting to acquire lock"
},

},
{

},

},
{
“time”: “02/10/2019, 23:59:47”,
“text”: " Task MCM1_0154591_8272_1 postponed for 600 seconds: Waiting to acquire lock Task MCM1_0154586_3527_0 postponed for 600 seconds:"
},
{
“time”: “02/10/2019, 23:59:31”,
“text”: " Resuming computation"
},

Any ideas? It’s been going on for hours… tried to reinstall app but no joy, still doing it
now i have 12 processes on pause doing nothing and all postponed…

This can happen if two instances of BOINC were running on top of each other. Usually the app will eventually be able to acquire a lock. Inside BOINC/slots each folder that is being worked on has a lock file, you can manually delete that file the the impacted slot, or you can just wait 1-2 days and it should resolve itself.

thx John! In the end… Because of my setup with the validator I actually moved my boid app into a virtual machine with 2 CPU’s assigned to it. it was going crazy with my original setup. so now i have 4CPU’s for validator, 2 CPU’s for boid cmd app and 1 CPU for storej node and 1CPU spare for the system.
