Hi Larry.  Sorry to hear about that.  For how long has this been happening?

-- Please note that we've had some downtime on servers recently, to support work to (pre-emptively) harden our systems against PHP2Shell vulnerabilities which have been threatening much of the internet lately, just to be safe.  Your device should connect back again after a couple days, at most.  So if the issue has been ongoing a while, or if it doesn't resolve in a day or two, please post back with some additional detail: when it started, and any error messages you seen in the log view of your deskop app.

Do you see elsewhere/anywhere in your logs any sign of contact to LHC@home, Rosetta@home, World Community Grid, or Numberfields@home?

We don't presently have any Charity Engine work for Linux devices (*workloads change from time to time), so we generally apply those resources to public interest research (*we're always contributing capacity to such projects, c.f. our grants page).  Credits from this public interest work count towards the prize draw, same as other computations. – But if you've disabled all those, there's nothing left to schedule to your device.
