Maybe download a fresh copy of Vbox and then "repair" Vbox. That's about all there is left to do that I can think of.

I've done that many times, and tried three different versions. I have 7 PCs, and only 1 works, so it's nothing particularly wrong with one.

I don't know if chip drivers make any difference to data crunching or not.
I am out of ideas at this point in time.

If so it's very fussy. From the 7 PCs I'm using all I can conclude is AMD doesn't work and older Intel doesn't work.

Your tasks never get suspended for lack of memory or unstable VM environment?
Do you shut down your system at any time?
If so how?

No, that system only runs Boinc. I booted it up, installed a fresh Vbox, attached to Rosetta, got tasks, and even tried just one at a time, but it ticked over for 24 hours without any processing time at all. It has 36GB of RAM, so should have run a single one easily.

Just had my first error on the good machine.

The 0x80070005 error code arises when the Windows access is denied. ... The 0x80070005 error relates to access permissions in Windows, sometimes encountered by users when they are trying to update their Windows or installing a new program, and they don't possess full access permission for certain files

Which is odd, because it ran ok, but when its writing the output there is where the errors are.
I have to get to bed again, but maybe tomorrow night I can look.

But it appears to be a windows permissions thing at first glance.
I see this in a TACC post and a LHC post.

If you search the gibberish:

1) aRC=E_ACCESSDENIED (0x80070005)
2) aIID={85cd948e-a71f-4289-281e-0ca7ad48cd89} aComponent={MachineWrap} aText={The object functionality is limited}

You might find the answer...add the word BOINC if you can not find what you are looking for.

Hello,

I apologize for posting off topic but have run out of options. How do I post a new topic"? I've searched the web and these forums for weeks with no luck.

I have a Rosetta login and use it.

Log out

This is the best advise I found,

"On the Discussions List tab, click New Topic on the drop-down menu
In the Forum drop-down list, select the forum in which you want to create the topic, or create a new forum by clicking the New Forum link.
Enter a Title for the topic.
Enter a Description"

There's no "New Topic" or "New Topic Link" on a forum screen

Beat me up if you must but please help. I'm missing something! Private message response preferred.

Thank you,

Ed Machak

Some of the forums allow you to start a thread, and some don't. Those that don't, don't have a link for starting a thread, except for the few users allowed to start threads there.

Also, the forums list have a tree structure. Only those at the tips of the trees can allow posting.

Generally, you have to complete a few tasks correctly before you are allowed to post. Some BOINC projects have a forum for users who are having trouble getting started, and may allow posting to these forums with no tasks completed. Such forums often have a moderator who must approve your post before anyone else sees it.

I'm off to bed, but will have a look tomorrow afternoon. The only thing I found was Vbox was not installed with admin rights. Apparently being a user with admin rights isn't good enough. I'll try reinstalling it on an offending machine tomorrow using elevated privileges. Stupid Microsoft.....

You are not alone with that error, I have some like that, many do run ok , this was another dud.

Not sure where to post this, but here goes. This is about usability more than technical stuff.

I read the FAQ and see no mention of "virtual box".

I did not see a place that described the different types of Rosetta subprojects and their requirements (memory, CPU, GPU). In fact, Rosetta@home Preferences does not let you choose subprojects.

How are prospective new users gonna find this stuff out?

I am a long-time BOINC user and Rosetta/Ralph member, but do not have time to get lost in the weeds. I installed Virtual Box on my own PC but prefer to not complicate my spouse's desktop system.

How are prospective new users gonna find this stuff out?

That is a very good question. We long-time users have heard about it on the forums, and see the one marked "vbox64" in the applications.
https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/apps.php

But that is scant information indeed, and tells you nothing about system requirements.
It is a poor way to run a railroad. They won't get much work done that way.

I have been trying to run Rosetta@home on 3 different computers for at least the last 3 months now - didn't get a single task no matter what I tried until yesterday, now I've finally had a 'breakthrough' on one of my PCs getting some tasks, but all of them just fail immediately!

Nov 2021 - I try to run Rosetta@home on my Surface Pro 2 (Win 10, i5-4300U w/ 8GB RAM, CPU supports hardware virtualization, virtualization support enabled according to task manager) - 'VirtualBox requires hardware support - which your CPU does not provide' error, or something to that effect. I try restarting the system, reinstalling VBox 6.x, uninstalling Vbox 6.x and installing Vbox 5.2.44 according to some suggestions on this thread, nothing works, I wait for regular tasks, nothing happens, I eventually gave up on it.

Dec 2021 - I try to run Rosetta@home on a new desktop (Win 11, i5-10400 w/ 32GB RAM, CPU supports hardware virtualization, virtualization support enabled according to task manager) - same error as above, tried the same steps, nothing happens, I let it wait for tasks - so far, it hasn't gotten a single one in 14+ days.

Jan 2022 - I half-heartedly try to run Rosetta on my previous crunching machine (Win 10, Ryzen 5 3600 w/ 24GB RAM, CPU supports hardware virtualization, virtualization support DISABLED according to task manager, Hyper-V enabled) - now I start getting tasks on this machine (but not on the 10th gen i5 one that's also plugged in and running BOINC?) And all of them fail anyway - v4.20, vBox 1.03 jobs, all of them fail instantly. *shrugs*

All 3 machines are/were on VBox 5.2.44 as suggested earlier in this thread.

Oh, I sometimes clean up my 'computers' list on the R@h page when I reinstall an OS or if something just looks out of place, so that may look a little funky. But I think they should be okay this time.

Two of you with identical errors. That sounds like a code problem by the team not your machines.
And 12 hrs for 3 minutes of CPU time, definitely something wrong.
Are you running RAH on a dedicated core and don't have much of a system load?
I've run stuff almost like that in the past, but never 12hrs for 3 minutes!

Well regular 4.2 work is far a few between.
You have virtualization enabled on your CPU's?
You can run 6.x of Vbox here. I am doing it.

Can you post some of your error messages?
It won't be for 12 hours before I can look and research.

Hi, yes, I would like to get it working on my i5 machine and the error I keep getting is 'VirtualBox jobs require hardware acceleration support - your processor does not support the required instruction set.'

The machine in question is an i5 10400 on a GIGABYTE B460M-DS3h V2.0, 32GB RAM, 512GB nVME SSD, Windows 11 64-bit. Virtualization is enabled in the BIOS, supported by the hardware, and Windows reports it as being on too.

I would be happy to run memory intensive python tasks on this machine - if they worked!

I have an Intel i5 9400F, Windows 11 home edition, VBox 6.1.30 and it works perfectly on rosetta python.

Are you sure virtualization is on? Check in the BIOS, don't believe the task manager, maybe it's talking about software virtualization.

Are you running RAH on a dedicated core and don't have much of a system load?
I've run stuff almost like that in the past, but never 12hrs for 3 minutes!

In my case loads of RAM, tried to run one at a time, nothing overloaded. If this is a programming error, can we report it somewhere? I doubt any of them are reading this.

I am getting identical times for running time and CPU time.
Tullio

I'm getting slightly more for CPU time than running time, I thought maybe it was multicore! E.g. 3h31m CPU time in 3h15m running time.

Only seeing this in Boinctasks though, Boinc Manager doesn't seem to show CPU time.

<-- yep. no one reads no one cares.

The only way they notice anything is when the results of 30+ tasks error out and skew the data then they come back for a look. But a few here and there on single machines...nah..not interested.

And I have no way to look at any of your tasks on any of your machines.
It's all 0's and your first machine has not made "contact" since Jan 1.
Everything else is november or even may.
So if they are connected to GRC, then I guess we don't see them.
Which computer ID do you refer to when having problems?

It takes a bit to open a VM and check everything and then write everything and shut it down.
