If so, there should be an error message stating that.

No error message if BOINC can get any compatible and available tasks from Rosetta. Lets look at my AMD FX-4100 Computer without VirtualBox.

Here is BOINC client logs a few days ago:
Wed 10 Nov 2021 03:39:38 PM CST | Rosetta@home | Requesting new tasks for CPU
Wed 10 Nov 2021 03:39:40 PM CST | Rosetta@home | Scheduler request completed: got 1 new tasks
.. no errors. no message from server ... then 1.4 days later:
Fri 12 Nov 2021 02:55:52 AM CST | Rosetta@home | Requesting new tasks for CPU
Fri 12 Nov 2021 02:55:53 AM CST | Rosetta@home | Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks
Fri 12 Nov 2021 02:55:53 AM CST | Rosetta@home | No tasks sent
Fri 12 Nov 2021 02:55:53 AM CST | Rosetta@home | Message from server: VirtualBox is not installed

Now my computer finally got a message from server, only when it got 0 new tasks. Message from server can be, low disk space, low RAM, or missing VirtualBox or missing VT-X / AMD-V. Server have 0 unsent Rosetta 4.20 tasks and only have some unsent Python tasks at this time, check website, computing, server status.

Really would be nice if Rosetta at home website have an option to limit to one specific app or an on/off option on each app. This would make troubleshooting easier. I know some of my computer is missing VirtualBox, but I am unsure what other user's problem could be.

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.

So far, my computer's invalids appers to randomly happen to: 5nvx_graft_buwei_xab and 5nvx_graft_buwei_xad

For my computer, nearly all of my invalids ran for less then 3 mimutes. Log shows an error.

Notices in BOINC with links are nice to have, if it doesn't have huge amount of blank spaces and pop ups.

On Linux Debian Buster, BOINC manager 7.14.2, Every time I connect to a computer that have this notice, a new Firefox tab show up with this video.

On windows 10 BOINC manager, it does not pop up, this might be pop-up blocker. When I right click notices page and choose refresh, then the video pops up on windows 10 edge.
