I do not pay much attention to BOINC and just let it run.
However I recently noticed that I was getting LHC jobs but no credit.
There appear to be two problems -
1. Some tasks ran till 100% complete but did not stop and continued to run and eventually (after several days) I aborted them.
2. Later and unrelated to the above when examining the Event Log I found the following errors.

23/02/2026 00:24:42 | LHC@home | Output file Theory_2922-4876778-624_0_r188348125_result for task Theory_2922-4876778-624_0 absent

HELP!

Message 53075 - Posted: 23 Feb 2026, 21:13:21 UTC - in response to Message 53073.  

Which computer? 10850788 was working but now it says:

boinc-buda-runner is missing Podman
wsl_init(): no usable WSL distro

So it seems like its not setup correctly anymore.

The others didn't do anything?
