One last thought for Win10. If you have ever enabled "Hyper-V", be sure to disable it (in "Turn Windows features on or off").
It is incompatible with VirtualBox.

For me, I Hyper V is not on. Never has been.
There is no way I am wiping out my OS to get some stubborn tasks.
There has to be something else holding up Python tasks.
Something that can be done without wiping out windows and spending hours reinstalling and re configuring.

How much of your cpu are you allowing it to use, in both number of cores and percentage of actual cpu usage, ie I allow 50% of the cores and 90% of cpu time?

Also what other projects are you running and what is their resource percentages? I'm thinking maybe your cache is already full.

Also what is your cache size, ie mine is 2.5 days and 1.5 days? I'm thinking if yours is set to say 0.01 for both maybe Rosetta thinks you don't have enough cache time to get tasks.

Also what is your cache size, ie mine is 2.5 days and 1.5 days? I'm thinking if yours is set to say 0.01 for both maybe Rosetta thinks you don't have enough cache time to get tasks.

Whether you get work or not depends on if you will return it in time or not, and what your Resource share settings are.
Cache determines how much work you download, it does not determine whether or not you actually get any.

It can use as much as it wants. Right now it is using 15/16 cores 100% run (restricted 1 core for system and GPU support). GPU's are running Einstein and FAH.
With this all running it is using only 66% of the memory.
Cache is run 1 full day and store .25 days. - and this should not matter.
As stated elsewhere, I run around 16 hrs a day, no app_config scripts or anything else.
No deadlines have passed, all work has been returned in time.

Also what is your cache size, ie mine is 2.5 days and 1.5 days? I'm thinking if yours is set to say 0.01 for both maybe Rosetta thinks you don't have enough cache time to get tasks.

I have my cache set to 0.1 and 0.1 but I still get CPDN tasks that take 10 days so it cannot be that.

There has to be something else holding up Python tasks.

BOINC Manager, Options, Event log options,
Work_fetch_debug, CPU_sched_debug & similar, rr_simulation etc.
Enable those (or just one of those) options (expect a huge amount of output in the Event log) to see what the Manager is actually doing- what values it is working with & the results it's producing and decisions it's making.

All the above enabled and sched_op_debug

Also what is your cache size, ie mine is 2.5 days and 1.5 days? I'm thinking if yours is set to say 0.01 for both maybe Rosetta thinks you don't have enough cache time to get tasks.

I have my cache set to 0.1 and 0.1 but I still get CPDN tasks that take 10 days so it cannot be that.

CPDN tasks have a due date of 365 days while Rosetta tasks have a due date of 3 days from the day you get them.

One last thought for Win10. If you have ever enabled "Hyper-V", be sure to disable it (in "Turn Windows features on or off").
It is incompatible with VirtualBox.

For me, I Hyper V is not on. Never has been.
There is no way I am wiping out my OS to get some stubborn tasks.
There has to be something else holding up Python tasks.
Something that can be done without wiping out windows and spending hours reinstalling and re configuring.

How much of your cpu are you allowing it to use, in both number of cores and percentage of actual cpu usage, ie I allow 50% of the cores and 90% of cpu time?

Also what other projects are you running and what is their resource percentages? I'm thinking maybe your cache is already full.

Also what is your cache size, ie mine is 2.5 days and 1.5 days? I'm thinking if yours is set to say 0.01 for both maybe Rosetta thinks you don't have enough cache time to get tasks.

It can use as much as it wants. Right now it is using 15/16 cores 100% run (restricted 1 core for system and GPU support). GPU's are running Einstein and FAH.
With this all running it is using only 66% of the memory.
Cache is run 1 full day and store .25 days. - and this should not matter.
As stated elsewhere, I run around 16 hrs a day, no app_config scripts or anything else.
No deadlines have passed, all work has been returned in time.

Try suspending all your other Projects, except the gpu ones, and then request work from Rosetta. I'm still thinking your cache is sooo full Boinc doesn't think you will finish a task in time with a 3 day deadline. Boinc is fricking weird sometimes and has to be manhandled to do what we want it to do.

Which is what i just said you have too much work from other Projects for Rosetta to send you any tasks.

CPDN tasks have a due date of 365 days while Rosetta tasks have a due date of 3 days from the day you get them.

You can do 9 Rosetta tasks consecutively and still be within the deadline so it cannot be that.

My point was that the length of the task being downloaded does not have to fit within the size of cache allowed - as long as there is some space available, even one second, then it will download a task even if that task takes 10 days

Yes, if you already have so many tasks waiting that your cache is full then it will refuse to download more but it is quite clear about the reason - it states job cache full in the event log with the default minimum logging enabled and at this stage I assume that the poster has at least looked at the event log.

ETA OK, so much for replying to a post without reading the other new posts in the thread - I apologise for that and I agree that the presence of a WU slated to miss the deadline could block any further downloads for that project but I would also draw your attention to :-

Which is what i just said you have too much work from other Projects for Rosetta to send you any tasks.

Maybe I did not include it, but it did complete in time. A couple of minutes later.
I'm not doing anything different in cache, BOINC knows how long it takes to complete stuff, its been crunching this version of a task since it first came out. I didn't change anything to the plus or minus since I got my first Python work. So it has to be something else. Besides, if BOINC thinks the work will not complete in time, then why is it downloading so much work to begin with? It is a 'manager' program so it should manage.

Note: I just opened up BOINC Tasks and had a look. Degrader and the other stuff from here are running high priority, but.....the deadline is 2 days away and for the stuff that just started it will be done in say 12+ hrs (because of the run 4 hrs and switch tasks option)
Other tasks are near completion and they have a remaining time of maximum 4 hrs.

As of this post it is not running anything in high priority. On BOINC tasks everything is green. I'll reduce the
additional days work to .15 and see what that does. I had .25 so I have 1 day main work and .15 extra.
Switch between is every 300. This was trying to get Rosetta to complete a task before BOINC changed projects.
I'll set WCG to no new tasks for a day or two and see if anything changes. I'm just doing cancer markers (since my wifes mother had cancer and now she has a very small hormonal cancer cyst and I had a very rare non cancerous cyst) and I also have open pandemics covid from WCG.
If push comes to shove maybe I will drop SiDock, but again that Covid stuff so really don't want to.

Checked my web preferences, I had a 8 hour run time vs BOINC 6 hour. So changed that to 6 hours to match.

I kind of remember that.
It seems my problem is something so rare no one has any working answers at BOINC.
Had a loud mouth show up. That was nice.....

So for now I am just going to drain my queue of everything and then start back with RAH but no LHC (maybe there is something that Vbox does not like that it is not telling?) and no Sidock or WCG.

Maybe I have to much work for CPU?
And why do tasks go into high priority at 2 days prior to deadline?

So for now I am just going to drain my queue of everything and then start back with RAH but no LHC (maybe there is something that Vbox does not like that it is not telling?) and no Sidock or WCG.

Why?
If it does Python. OK. If not, why is it an issue as it's still doing Rosetta 4.20 Tasks.
And finishing everything else off then trying for more Rosetta work is just going to throw everything out of whack as it they will no longer be in accordance with your settings. So when you restart those projects, that will be the end of it doing any Rosetta work for a while till it makes up the deficit then owed to the other projects.
Why, when it is meeting your Resource share settings, fiddle around with it?

And why do tasks go into high priority at 2 days prior to deadline?

Because of the number of projects you run, your Resource share settings, the size of your cache, the amount of time the system is running, the amount of time the system is running it can do BOINC work, the number of cores/threads it is able to use, the deadlines for your other projects and the deadline for Rosetta Tasks.
It's not a problem, just BOINC doing what it needs to do in order to meet your requirements with the resources it has.

Well you know this system and my operating style....so BOINC is crazy I think,
I would panic at one day not 2. Oh well...

As for Python, just want to check something. If LHC does not affect anything then its just RAH thumbing its nose at me. It would seem it would check for Vbox and if the person has it, send them a mix of Vbox and regular. All it wants to do is send regular to me. If things get out of whack, then since I will be working for the next few weeks, I will just let it do what it needs to get evened out again.

There was some half *** comment in BOINC forum about my system being overloaded with no fact to base it on. I don't return anything late or if I do its just a hour so later than the time given. I don't get any aborted by server, so to me the system works fine. Maxed out perhaps, but not overloaded.

I'm not in it for credit, I'm in it to process mostly health related work. I like LHC because its a very intriguing project and something different even though I don't see the results. Einstein I run because LIGO is located about 90 minutes from my parents place. I started RAH way back when because it was UW and I lived in Seattle and it was interesting. Now that we have COVID, I run COVID related projects to help advance the understanding of this nasty thing, so Sidock comes into play. WCG MCM is important since my wife has a very small hormonal cancer blob in her, that I had a rare tumor that was not cancerous, but I still have to go through all the scan protocols every year for awhile and that my wife's mother died from a rare cancer. So all cancer projects are important. So I run a lot of stuff that is important to me and if I have a strong system, then I might as well use every bit of its resources to the max.

eeh...screw it. It just going to send me 4.2 tasks no matter what.

Could you post the whole of your config.xml please

My Linux i7-2600 computer have plenty of Rosetta Python tasks, 16 GiB RAM, 231 GiB (Gibibyte) free space, client_state.xml shows:
<name>boinc_cages_IL_2727241_4666</name>
<app_name>rosetta_python_projects</app_name>
<rsc_memory_bound>8000000000</rsc_memory_bound>
<rsc_disk_bound>20000000000</rsc_disk_bound>

On boinc manager, check BOINC manager, disk usage. Have more then 20 GB free space and usable to BOINC? Note: The "free, not available to BOINC" can be changed in BOINC client manager preferences, disk and memory.

My guess is, too small amount of free space or too small total RAM can cause BOINC to not send any Rosetta Python tasks.
