"IBM kicked them out of the nest"

Merely a statement, somewhat in jest. Although it did seem like they left them hanging as far as technical details went. I really didn't pay that much attention to the details. All I knew was that WCG and Rosetta pretty much went dark. So I started running Einstein since all the computers were doing nothing but twiddling their thumbs (so to speak).

If there's a method to their madness I haven't figured it out. It ALMOST seems like there's a 2 week cycle, but then again not quite.
If I knew how to attach an image to this I would show you what my processing looks like for the last 90 days.

I should add that pretty much all my processing is over on World Community Grid now. They went through a particularly nasty period after IBM kicked them out of the nest and told them to fly on their own. They were pretty much TITSUP for 9 months at least. But for the last 60 days they've been pushing out work, I've got 46 cores processing their stuff (used to split with Rosetta but we know how that's working out now).

Thanks for that output. Is there a way for me to see that on my own? I'd like to try some things but it might take a while to do them all (I have things I need to do out of town that will take me away from here for 2 or 3 days per week). That VM no longer exists and I'd have to modify some things in the existing one (the original was a minimal install with just boinc installed on it, the one now was created so I could play around with xfce vice the kde I'm using now).

Which repository has the openSUSE Leap 15.4 version of that software?

Thanks for your assistance.
I guess I'll just forget about running Rosetta, to bad I was sitting at #140 until the virtualbox hit the fan.

FWIW, my computer has boinc installed on it, a virtual machine defined via virtualbox, the virtual machine has boinc on it (and not much else). Nothing will run rosetta. I get the same message that virtualbox isn't installed on both. The computer at the top got jobs, they quit after about 10 seconds with a notation in the log that the output file was absent. The boinc manager said there was a computation error. Not much to work with there.

Seems a bit redundant.

Meaning, while running VirtualBox I have to install VirtualBox again. But while running the original process, that I used to install the VirtualBox, and started, it still tells me there's no VirtualBox installed.
So which VirtualBox didn't I run, how many VirtualBox's do I need running?

Back to VirtualBox.

I installed Leap_15.4 in a VirtualBox, simple enough since the OS I run is Leap_15.4 and I have an iso image handy.

While running in that VirtualBox I used yast to install the boinc client and manager. I added Rosetta using the boinc manager.
It promptly told me "Message from server: VirtualBox is not installed."

Are you ever going to release work other than that? Or should I just remove Rosetta from boinc. It's going on 30 days since you last gave me anything to process.

Oh well...Since I'm not being informed what "My" problem is, there's not much chance of me correcting "My" problem.

Sorry I didn't get back to you, been out of town.

Disk:
Leave at least .1GB free.
Use no more than 90% of total.

Memory:
90% for both and 75% for page/swap.

free -h
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 30Gi 14Gi 11Gi 23Mi 4.3Gi 15Gi
Swap: 2.0Gi 0B 2.0Gi

And it currently has 14 cores running Rosetta, slightly throttled to keep the heat down since it's not liquid cooled, something it hasn't done in months. And yes it's still whining because virtualbox isn't installed.
The other computer has all 24 cores running something other than Rosetta and Rosetta is also whining about virtualbox not being installed.

I installed VB the other day. Downloaded some work (2GB file), they failed for some reason. I uninstalled VB. If they've got work, I'll run it, but not installing VB just for it.

My web browser has the username/password information stored away for seamless logins to this site. Even not knowing what OS/Browser you're using, there's a possibility yours does too.

This is good. I run boinc on 4 computers and the software, the boinc package I have installed, seems to like the http site. No option, easily available, to go https.

I have an ODROID-XU. I'm running Android and NativeBOINC on it. I'd like to use it to process Rosetta@Home data. Are there plans to support this? Can I help with the effort in anyway?


I've discovered that NativeBOINC will at least accept Rosetta. While I have both SIMAP and Rosetta defined as projects it currently is banging away at SIMAP, only. I haven't actually seen it attempt to run Rosetta yet. But, the OpenSUSE i386 is set up the same, and is only running Rosetta and no SIMAP. Although I've seen it run SIMAP.
