Certain operation on Nuvolos take longer to execute than a few seconds - prime examples are content distribution. Such operations are run asynchronously in the background and are called background tasks.
Every user can monitor their tasks by opening the tasks view. You can reach the task view under the notifications symbol:
The counters in the notifications panel only refresh infrequently. Always open the tasks view to check if you have running tasks.
The tasks view list your most recent tasks:
You can view the task description in full by hovering your cursor over the displayed text. To view the outcome of the task, click the magnifier symbol on the right side of the screen.
You can cancel a running task by clicking on the red cross in the status column:
When you click the cancel button, a signal for termination is sent to the background task.
Certain low-level blocking operations need to complete first before a task actually terminates in the background.
