Maybe I am being rather dense here but could you give me some step by step instructions. I have been running Rosetta@home on multiple computers for years so I am already attached to the project. Exactly what do I need to do to get work units running again on my two Windows 10 computers and my MacPro? Thanks for your help!

Wait for new work to be released, as there presently isn't any Rosetta 4.20 work available to process.

There are Python Tasks available, but they require the installation of VirtualBox, along with huge amounts of disk space and RAM in order to run. And even then, there are issues that require manual intervention to keep things working.

Thanks, I appreciate that. I'll cool my jets and wait.

I understand that there are no work units available for Rosetta@home so my question becomes should I continue to wait and thus waste my computer cycles or switch to another project. I added World Community Grid and am sharing it with Rosetta so I am still doing something but I would like to continue with Rosetta as well IF work units will be forthcoming in the near future. Can you help me out with this conundrum?

No one can say when new Rosetta 4.2 work will become available other than the researchers.
But they are not going to tell us anything.

If you are attached to WCG and Rosetta, BOINC will check with both projects.
When Rosetta has 4.2 work again, you will download some tasks.

If you’re connected to WCG as well as Rosetta then you shouldn’t be wasting cycles, WCG will take up the slack.

I’d just leave Rosetta connected, it will look for work periodically an, one day, it will pull more work as it becomes available.

The question is, do you want to do python or not?
There is tons of python work, but it requires virtual box.
If you don't want to install this then your just going to have to wait for when the occasional rare small batch of 4.2 tasks become available and the will last a day at most.
And Bryan is right, WCG will suck up any free cpu's until something else bumps it.
I run mapping cancer markers and childhood cancer and open pandemics (COVID)
I also like SiDock and QuChemPedia and non BOINC I run Folding at Home.

I do not know why I can't download new tasks.

Come over to number crunching. There is a group of us that works on problems there.

Your trying to get work from the 4.2 queue which is rarely filled these days.

The focus is in Python language virtual box tasks which have high memory and disk space demands.

Again come to number crunching, we can help you better there.
