1) Message boards : Cafe Rosetta : Moderators Contact Point (Explanations, Assistance etc) Post here! (Message 108700) Posted 16 Nov 2023 by hedera Post: Actually, I have 3 Rosetta tasks running right now. True, most of my work is for World Community Grid. But there's some Rosetta.
2) Message boards : News : Rosetta's role in fighting coronavirus (Message 108451) Posted 11 Jul 2023 by hedera Post: Is Rosetta@home still running? I've been a member of this project for years, and I'm not getting any tasks. I looked at my Projects page and it says "Won't get new tasks." What did I do? How do I get new tasks?
3) Message boards : Cafe Rosetta : Moderators Contact Point (Explanations, Assistance etc) Post here! (Message 108367) Posted 13 May 2023 by hedera Post: Does anyone realize that this message board is being spammed by advertisers? I'm really tired of getting a notice that there's a new message on the board and coming in to find an ad from DecorChamp about the joys of home decoration. Quit wasting my time.
4) Message boards : Cafe Rosetta : Moderators Contact Point (Explanations, Assistance etc) Post here! (Message 104672) Posted 5 Feb 2022 by hedera Post: I have a question about VirtualBox. I just got this message: rosetta python projects needs 11885.31MB more disk space. You currently have 7188.18 MB available and it needs 19073.49 MB. 2/5/2022 8:23:24 AM The box this is running on has a solid state C: drive which currently has 90 GB free of total 222 GB. The E: drive is a regular hard drive, 1.81 TB, which currently has 1.41 TB free. This looks like an allocation problem, there's plenty of space on both drives. Is there something I can configure to clean this up? Or is there some way to configure VirtualBox to work on the E: drive, which I use for data? Now that I have VirtualBox installed, I have NO Rosetta tasks running.

(Message 104657) Posted 4 Feb 2022 by hedera Post: Thanks for the explanation; I'm installing BOINC with VirtualBox right now. For the record, the current version of BOINC is 7.16.2. I usually prefer to have the latest version; will BOINC automatically upgrade itself? WCG never has. hedera
6) Message boards : Cafe Rosetta : Moderators Contact Point (Explanations, Assistance etc) Post here! (Message 104650) Posted 4 Feb 2022 by hedera Post: I have Steve Hoffman's problem too - I get messages about Rosetta, but I have World Community Grid installed instead of BOINC. If I don't have VirtualBox installed (and I don't), how can I have 8 active Rosetta tasks in various stages of completion? The Rosetta URL I have is http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta - where do I change it? Do I need to change it? hedera

8) Message boards : Cafe Rosetta : Moderators Contact Point (Explanations, Assistance etc) Post here! (Message 93677) Posted 6 Apr 2020 by hedera Post: Thanks for the suggestions. I've looked in my configuration online and I don't see a setting that clearly controls the amount of time I'm willing to wait for new tasks. Where should I look? I'll certainly check into World Community Grid if I can run that from BOINC.
9) Message boards : Cafe Rosetta : Moderators Contact Point (Explanations, Assistance etc) Post here! (Message 93534) Posted 5 Apr 2020 by hedera Post: I notice that, on several recent days including today), Rosetta has "no running tasks." Is something wrong? Do I need to change something?
10) Message boards : Cafe Rosetta : Moderators Contact Point (Explanations, Assistance etc) Post here! (Message 90098) Posted 28 Dec 2018 by hedera Post: Has Rosetta shut down for the holidays? My host has no tasks and when I tried to update the project it wouldn't even connect.
11) Message boards : Number crunching : 3.43 is causing pop-ups (Message 74376) Posted 14 Nov 2012 by hedera Post: I haven't got the details everyone else has, but I too have a Win7 64-bit system running Rosetta@home, and I too am getting these silly pop-ups. They started a day or so ago which is probably when I downloaded 3.43. I'm subscribing to the list so I'll see when (soon, I hope) we get a fix.
12) Message boards : Number crunching : Not getting any new tasks (Message 64755) Posted 3 Jan 2010 by hedera Post: I can't say how long it's been, but I noticed this morning that my CPU was running at only 3% and when I checked Rosetta there were NO tasks running. I told it to update the project and it got zero new tasks. The project news feed says they took the project offline on Dec. 23rd to make modifications to the SAN - any ETA on completing that project??
13) Questions and Answers : Preferences : Target CPU run time Option (Message 64567) Posted 21 Dec 2009 by hedera Post: 3hrs is now the correct default, but I can only change the FAQ's that were authored by mod.zilla to make a revision. The target is up to you. Longer runtimes mean less frequent interaction with the servers, which means less overhead for the project, and less download bandwidth for you. I generally recommend a target runtime roughly equal to one day of runtime. If your machine is on 10hrs per day, I'd make it somewhere between 8 and 12 hours. But that's just my personal preference, trying to strike a balance between getting results back ASAP, having enough work on-hand if the project should have an outage, and showing signs of progress by moving through work units. Thanks for the explanation; I've set it for 8 hours, we'll see how that goes.
14) Questions and Answers : Preferences : Target CPU run time Option (Message 64558) Posted 20 Dec 2009 by hedera Post: I have a question about the Target CPU Runtime defaults. I read the FAQ, which says that the default target CPU runtime is about 8 hours. But when I checked my own preferences (on which I usually take the defaults), I had no CPU runtime amount chosen, and the note next to the dropdown list suggested that, in the absence of a choice, the default was about 3 hours. Which is correct? Also, I have a new computer with a quad core chip, which I run all day and turn off at night. What would be the best runtime default for that?
15) Message boards : Number crunching : Problems with Minirosetta v1.54 (Message 59948) Posted 3 Mar 2009 by hedera Post: I've had 2 Windows error messages in the last couple of days from Rosetta. This is on a Win XP Pro SP2 system. The last one was this morning.

16) Message boards : Number crunching : Problems with web site (Message 58447) Posted 4 Jan 2009 by hedera Post: I just realized my CPU usage was essentially nil, and when I checked BOINC, the message log shows it's been requesting tasks from Rosetta all day (since 8:15 AM local) and never gotten any tasks to work on. I'm running BOINC Manager 6.2.19 on Windows XP SP2, with 4 GB of RAM and a 3.2 GHz Pentium 4 CPU. I've never seen this problem before. Every request for tasks gets this: 01/03/2009 10:23:32 PM\|rosetta@home\|Sending scheduler request: Requested by user. Requesting 60480 seconds of work, reporting 0 completed tasks 01/03/2009 10:23:37 PM\|rosetta@home\|Scheduler request succeeded: got 0 new tasks Is there something wrong with requesting 60480 seconds of work? Do I need to upgrade BOINC Manager again? Have you no tasks available? Help?
17) Message boards : Number crunching : Can't connect to Rosetta (Message 57013) Posted 17 Nov 2008 by hedera Post: I was away for the weekend and shut my BOINC manager down after setting Rosetta to "no new tasks." I gather that the Rosetta host crashed while I was gone. However, that was 2 days ago (11/14) and as of this afternoon Pacific time (11/16) I can't connect to Rosetta. Has something changed? My password is the same as it was and I just logged in with it. I've been connecting to http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta? Should that change?
18) Message boards : Cafe Rosetta : Moderator contact thread archive (Message 53990) Posted 25 Jun 2008 by hedera Post: Um, thanks but never mind - I bounced BOINC manager and it came right back up and went to work. I'd STILL like to know why that happened!
19) Message boards : Cafe Rosetta : Moderator contact thread archive (Message 53989) Posted 25 Jun 2008 by hedera Post: Disconnected for no reason I'm not sure what's going on: my BOINC manager system tray icon shows "not currently connected." It was working last night. I brought it up and tried to attach the project using my usual password, and got "BOINC manager is not able to connect to a BOINC client." I actually went to my account and reset my password and tried again - no luck. Help? What did I do? What do I do now?
20) Message boards : Number crunching : Problems with version 5.96 (Message 53982) Posted 25 Jun 2008 by hedera Post: I've only been back from vacation a few days and I've already got one of these: WU 173161638 This one seems to have completed correctly on another computer.
