    For the past 6 days I have been unable to get work units.
    I am using client 7.4.4 on Linux Mint. CPU is an old AMD 8-core. I get lots of log messages like this:

    Are you running a GPU as well, so that you have the number of CPUs set to 7?
    Prime numbers, and multiples of large primes, are an issue, and 7 has been 'banned'. Try setting the number of CPUs to 6.

    If this is not the case, and you have it set to 8, then I'd delete the slot, save and then re-add a slot.

    Thanks, that fixed it.
    FAH was folding on 7 cores, leaving one for me as it was set to Medium use. FAH refuses to use my ancient GPU but it is good enough for me as I do not play games. I have now configured it to use 6 cores.
