Ubuntu 20.04 support?

6 days 4 hours ago
This is the recommended CVMFS starting point:
https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/forum_thread.php?id=5594

This option shouldn't be used (remove it, except if you know exactly why you need it):
CVMFS_CLIENT_PROFILE=single

This is recommended (as a private volunteer you should understand it as a MUST):
CVMFS_HTTP_PROXY="auto;DIRECT"
CVMFS_USE_CDN=yes



As for CVMFS_USE_CDN/Cloudflare/openhtc.io

https://openhtc.io/
openhtc.io is hosted by Cloudflare.
You don't need a Cloudflare account to use it.
openhtc.io distributes CVMFS/Frontier content required by ATLAS/CMS/Theory via a worldwide proxy network (hundreds of Squid proxies).
If you don't use the CDN CVMFS/Frontier get their data via "stratum-one-servers" (only few worldwide).
Getting the data from a CDN proxy close to your location instead of getting it from a stratum-one located far away is usually faster.

Fails to create VM?

1 month 3 weeks ago
I'll be sure to so that next time.

The 1 thing that changed that could've caused this was running windows update for patch tuesday. However, I suspended all non-running tasks and let the running ones finish. Maybe something didn't close properly.

no VM console button for ATLAS in Windows 11

2 months 3 weeks ago
Hence, the conclusion seems to be: On Windows 11, the console button does not work with ATLAS tasks. still I would be interested in knowing whether all other Windows11 users make the same experience, or whether there is something that can be done in order to make the VM console show up and work.
Yes, I see the same on my Win 11 machine (Boinc 8.0.2). So I am using the VirtualBox Manager to bring up the console.
Did you installed the corresponding VirtualBox Extension Pack?
Yes I did.
