[Then you better join up with some other projects to keep your system busy because 4.2 tasks are not that common these days.

You might try this one: https://gene.disi.unitn.it/test/ or this one https://www.sidock.si/sidock/ to keep your system busy until WCG comes back or until this project produces some more 4.2 work.

I will set up an account at https://gene.disi.unitn.it/wordpress/ [/quote]

Neither QuChemPedIA@home nor gene@home are accepting new accounts.

Wow, I can't be bothered fixing your attempt at quoting.

Gene at home most certainly is accepting new accounts, I just created one to test it. You did read the instructions on the webpage right?

Oh dear, common sense too much for you was it? By the way, my messages still appear, can you resist opening them?

I had forgotten where that was at.
Thanks for the refresh.

It simply replaces the message with...

Where "troll" = "person whose opinion differs to yours". You're pathetic.

Reinstalled with VB and it is plugging away now.. thanks

No new work in quite some time.... are we in one of the down times?

Unless you have virtualization enabled and virtual box installed and your account is set to accept virtualization work, then you will have long dry spells once the normal tasks are completed.

Come over to number crunching if you wish to discuss the further (top thread [problems and technical issues] ) about getting work.

Re installed with VB and it is working now....thanks

Exeter, good to know! Happy python crunching.

The "Allow Python Work" option needs to be publicized in some fashion or else it should be moved into the project options section, where it belongs. I haven't had any significant work in weeks because of this, perhaps someone can have the server send a message to all clients or something?

I can't even switch mine back on once it's banned, since I use Gridcoin and don't have access to server options.

Anyone running python jobs on Linux?
Currently without work due to WCG moving and I more or less stopped using Rosetta for some time due to no work every now and then. But now back and figured I'd try these now jobs out.
I setup virtualbox and work is coming in and grabbing a pretty decent amount of memory ;-) All seems fine... However, after some time (it may even succeed in finishing some jobs) it ends up as "Postponed: VM job unmanageable, restarting later". This happens on my second experimental semi-broken laptop too. No new tasks is started either.
In this case running Manjaro. Rosetta or WCG jobs have never been a issue before. It's Vbox jobs that is the issue.
Something seems to prevent further use of Vbox.
Atleast I know it's not a ram issue. Got roughly 16GB to spare on main computer. Dynamically adjusted swap. Most often 0 or close to 0.

I've have many Postponed: VM job unmanageable, restarting later WUs on my Linux., seems to getting more worse lately.

I'm shutting my PC down for the night so when I startup the next day, the postponed tasks just continue. I'm running 9 python and last night I had 5 tasks postponed, shortly after starting up today I already have 2 tasks postponed.

This is very annoying!

Then I'm not alone with the problem. Wonder if this is limited to Linux though.
I'm have no major problem with postponed work... but halting and stop reviving new work is more annoying.

I wonder if this works (does not last between reboots though if understood correctly. Unsure if adding the timer as sudo makes it run though)... I could live with daily automatic restarts.

sudo systemd-run --OnCalendar 'daily' systemctl restart boinc-client

Correction

The issue I have with restarting BOINC to get the postponed to run, is that you lose time on all running tasks from all projects, due to the checkpoints.

you might just do a project max_concurrent setting then. get it down to the number of tasks you can run without problems. But are you still doing Einstein and Milkyway?


Postponed: VM job unmanageable - I had that a lot on QuChem and had to quit.
I guess it wasn't good at sharing with other VM projects.
Maybe you should isolate RAH pythons to a machine that has no other VM work and see if the error still pops up.

What computers are doing what? You have 3. You need to talk about which one.

According to Boinc logs, the work should restart by itself, 86400 (1 day later). But if it fails over and over? Automatic removal by deadline? So far haven't seen a halted one actually finish when restarted. It halts at the same percentage. BUT at least the reboot is fast enough to work as a workaround to allow downloading of new work.

In my case there are no other jobs than Rosetta. Nothing but Rosetta uses Vbox. Many work finish and uploads, but the ones that fail always seem to fail. 3 postponed right now. All 3 begins with "aagb". Does those letters mean anything that could perhaps explain it?
