Crystal Pellet, many thanks for the valuable information :-)

The issue resolved itself with new tasks.

So the issue must have been bad tasks.Your issue and of other volunteers is solved by implementing Theory v301.00 application.

I do belive even though they are on differant os you still need to set boinc up like you would for multiple clients on the same os. Different dir, ports. Add the cfg for multi boinc in the main direction etc. I had the same problem

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.

Hi computezrmle,
Thanks
The issue is related to Wifi.
I have just switched to wired connection and all works fine.

This version fixes the upload issue.

Is this being addressed?
Yes, but not yet solved.

You're right. Seems like the automatic update for cvmfs was causing some issues this morning.

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.

The 8.2.4 version of the BOINC client has been released for all platforms. Download it here. Release notes are here. The new version supports Docker apps - an important step for BOINC.

I know the reason, before gave boinc the ability to store 3 days in tasks. That means it starts tasks 3 days late, now I give it 0.20 days maximum.

Yes we have had projects added many times over the years but in rare times when any test work appears the regulars there grab all of the work and finish it real fast even the new Dockers for Theory.

I ran as many of the previous Xtracks before and it has been so long that the results are no longer saved there to look at.

But when they are tested and work they will get sent here for everyone just like the new versions of all of the other projects

The project retired Theory native

Uhm... and why don't I get vbox64 tasks? Theory box is still checked as accepted in my project preferences page, so vbox64 tasks should be downloaded. My vbox support is ok: in fact, I get CMS tasks if I want.


As soon as I unckecked the box "Run native if available", Theory tasks started to be downloaded. So "run native if available" now means "run only native": but this is true only for Theory.

Kind of "Newspeak", maybe. ;-)

Bye, Lem


Hi, mods/admin etc ... regarding this situation described in the post above. Can anything be done about that so that it works in the same manner as the Atlas/CMS tasks? To be clear: when I have "run native if available" checked I get native Atlas tasks but VBox CMS tasks will also download. VBox Theory tasks however will not download unless that is UN-checked.

this problem has existed for about 1 week now, and I am surprised that no one over there has found out yet, and that CMS tasks are still being disbributed. Too bad :-(
Sorry for the lack of communication, combination of many factors. However, the good news is that we've finally tracked down the bug that was stopping jobs from running and the "Running Jobs" plot is starting to tick upwards again. Nice to have something fixed rather than broken on a Friday afternoon for a change!

This new version provides some additional dependencies needed by the Theory jobs.

Yep, all invalids seem to have this error:
