A lot of VirtualBox tasks get stuck for days and don't seem end. They expire on the server side, the work is lost and no points.
Don't want to babysit my computers...

Is there any fix for that? Other option is to disable Virtual Box work.

They are easier to spot if you install BoincTasks. It shows the CPU useage, and when you see it in red that means the CPU is not doing much.
You can delete them in the first five minutes if you catch them.

Otherwise, the project has to fix it, if there is anyone at Rosetta at all.

(It would be nice if some software expert could automate the process.)


Thanks!

I'm used to look at my rigs once a week, sometimes 2 times in a month... Before the VB work, I ran Rosetta for a year without many issues.

I guess they'll have to fix it while I focus on non-VB work or another project....


Check your Vbox version and extensions version. You may need to update to get stable.

I forgot about WCG going down. I guess I need to disable that project for now.
You can try another Vbox project, I can't get it to be stable on my rig for some reason, others have lots of success. Look up QuChemPedia.


I turned of VB work for now, it's not worth it. Just had to abort another 22 units that got stuck, waste of CPU-cycles and no points.
Will start looking for another project in the coming days or just shut them down the machines until WCG is back.

Now WCG is down for 2 months, I moved back to Rosetta.

Many thanks everyone. Got some tasks now, though nothing for NVIDIA yet.


It's CPU only, so that may explain it ;)
