I have HadSM task 10367343 at 18% that\'s waiting to run. I can open its graphics but there\'s just a black rectangle without a globe, though the top bar with the model name is there.

I\'m sure I\'ve always seen normal graphics for waiting tasks. Has anyone ever seen this phenomenon?

If I manually switch models and the other CPDN slab is waiting to run I can see its graphics with the globe and progress stopped but viewable.

When I manually switch models again the globe that didn\'t show before in the graphics now displays. So it was just a temporary glitch for some unknown reason.

Bizarre.

Hi Mo

Had you by any chance recently restarted BOINC so that this model hadn\'t yet run in the current session? If so, it will be blank as no current session graphic data will be stored in memory.

Once a model has run for a bit though in the current session, then gone into that state for another one to run for a period, the graphics will show the data at the point the model stopped.

Otherwise I just don\'t know.

I can\'t remember everything I did in what order two or more days ago but your explanation sounds highly likely, especially as Boinc has chosen not to run this model for many days, rarely gives it turns and has been keeping it waiting.

It\'s good to know the model and Boinc are behaving properly. Thanks.
