Posted 28 days ago by Sandman192 Post: Well can do find out if it will work since LHC ran out of (ATLAS) work. And Rosetta python projects I'm guessing is for V-Box is out as well. Well dam, I can't test if it worked or not. |

Posted 29 days ago by Sandman192 Post: Wow, from what you told me I have to make my PC variable to attacks to get VM work to work. Everything you say is not all of this is in the FAQ at all and you giving me all this NEW intonation now seems off. NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH RUNNING ON WIN 10 on Intel. Just made sure the BIOS had Virtual enabled and off it went. Now I have to go through all the hops to try to get it to run. The notification that told me VirtualBox jobs require hardware acceleration support doesn't show up any more and nothing in the logs show any errors. I would think that the log would always come up with the error. Expressly after each startup of BOINC. OK I'll try it your way and if it still doesn't or does work I'll still go back and change my settings back and NOT make my computer variable and just not use VM work ever again. Add #5. This right here I could not figure out but why can't BOINC do all of that in V-Box? |

Posted 11 Mar 2024 by Sandman192 Post: LHC and Rosette will not grab any V-Box work and won't tell me why. I checked all LHC and Rosette FAQs and done some of what it needs and got no were. I CAN run Mint and DOS under Windows V-Box. So AMD-V is enabled. If there's a log that I can enable to help me find out why it won't run any V-Box work. I used the BOINC bundle. Note: Some one told me it could be WSL but uninstalled and that's not the case. Hyper-V is not installed. 3/10/2024 8:58:57 PM | | Starting BOINC client version 7.24.1 for windows_x86_64 I get this in my notification "VirtualBox jobs require hardware acceleration support. Your processor does not support the required instruction set". |

Posted 22 Feb 2024 by Sandman192 Post: From Google AI answer you also need to enable IOMMU in the UEFI along with virtualization to get Oracle VM Virtual Box to work. IOMMU is set to auto. I'm setting not to get work except for LHC AND wait. I've did get work for LHC SSE2 and AVX. |

Posted 22 Feb 2024 by Sandman192 Post: You have to install and configure cvmfs and install runc. Not installing anything if LHC didn't install itself. And I don't know what your talking about? And it's not in the FAQ for any cvmfs. I'm using V-BOX 7.0.6 which is bundled with BOINC 7.24.1. Running Windows 11. With AMD-V enabled. V-Box is running other OS just fine. |

Posted 4 Feb 2024 by Sandman192 Post: Can't get virtual work for Rosset or LHC. All I get is 0 New Tasks. I checked they both got task ready to send and I have both to get all work units. I suspend all other tasks just to have BOINC get Virtual work. The hard pat is I get no message from Event Log on why I can't get Virtual work.

Posted 30 Aug 2023 by Sandman192 Post: Well, it says "ignored by config". so that's the place to start looking. Double-check (proof-read) your cc_config.xml file. I just showed you the command I put down. <use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus> I did put it in alphabetical order. And I did restart BOINC after. I already had the command in and it worked before on a different computer. |

Posted 30 Aug 2023 by Sandman192 Post: I have 3 GPUs. 1 - 1080Ti, 1 - 980 and 1 - Internal GPU on a AMD 7700X I'm only getting 2 running. The 1080Ti and AMD internal GPU. The 980 is not doing anything. Both work right out of the box. I can get the 980 to run on 3D Mark so it is posable. I think BOINC is confuse when have an internal GPU. I added a command <use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus> and still nothing. BOINC sees all 3 GPUs. 8/29/2023 9:42:19 PM | | Starting BOINC client version 7.22.2 for windows_x86_64 Just to note, I had both 1080Ti and 980 on a different MoBo with no internal GPU and both ran fine together.

Posted 20 Jan 2022 by Sandman192 Post: 1. Projects Tab: Add "Won't get new tasks for all projects" button. But doesn't change Status column for each project that does or doesn't have won't get new tasks. Just gray all projects when selected. 2. Project Tab: Add "Pause CPU only" button to make it so you can pause CPU work but leave GPU work alone and running. 3. Task Tab: Place "Total work units" footer to show all work units running and is stored on computer. For all Tabs: Place "CPU" "GPU" "Net" = Networking in bottom right footer to show if either of them are paused. Maybe like it does in WordPad with the Cap for Caps Lock and/or icon. Great to let you know if you forgot that you paused them. Of give us that option to show what we want it to show. 4. Add short cut key to pause all work even if BOINC is not focused. Great if your computer slows to a crawl. Sometimes Taskbar can be unstable at times, and you can't click on anything there or just the hole computer where you can't click on anything to respond, but computer is still running fine, and you want to get back control of the computer. 3 keys should be ok. Times it took so long to get my computer under control. Running to many virtual box work units at once will do that. |

BOINC will only run 1 GPU when set to less than 10 days of work.
(Message 106548)
Posted 27 Dec 2021 by Sandman192 Post: What DOES it say in the Event Log? I see nothing that's related to GPU work and why it stopped using the second GPU. I did the test again. Right now, both GPUs are running and is set for 10 days. I did a 1-day test and not right away, but it did stop on the second GPU. I did a 5-day test, and it ran both GPUs for a while and then stopped on the second GPU again. I went to 7 days, and it ran both GPUs just fine. I went to 6-day test, and it ran both GPUs again and then stopped on the second GPU stopped again. So, no lower than 7 days of extra work or it will just stop working on the second GPU. |

Posted 26 Dec 2021 by Sandman192 Post: Have you set It is on. I told you it was running all GPUs and only stopped if I go to anything less than 10 days of work. Setting it back to 10 days starts running all GPUs. That is very odd indeed. |

Posted 24 Dec 2021 by Sandman192 Post: I have 2 GPUs, a 1080 and a 980 and when I set "day of work to 0.5, 1 or 2 days BOINC will only run just the 1080 only and will never run any work on the 980. And I still have at least 50 GPUs WUs waiting when it was set to 10 days but setting BOINC to 0.5, 1 or 2 days it will stop using the 980. Assine GPU work. Einstein Windows 10, BOINC v7.16.20 |

Posted 17 Jun 2021 by Sandman192 Post: If you reduce your work cache size, you will never have tasks going into EDF mode and pre-empting other projects. Then the client can work as it is supposed to and obey project resource shares. Reducing cache size does nothing. Still same results. |

Posted 28 Mar 2021 by Sandman192 Post: You probably pushed up the priority of the other projects by being locked into working on TN-Grid for so long by deadline pressure. It will return to normal gradually, but over a period of several days. If I had to edit a setting to make it work then it's a bug if that setting is by default and not working as devs intended then it's a BUG. Does that stand for 10 days of extra work? If so then changing it from the BOINC options doesn't work. I've tried. 1 day, 10 days, nothing. It's not just TN-Grid. WCG is the same way. Just now I have it set to get more work for WCG. And as soon as the other projects are done... All I'll get is WCG and nothing else. I've done this twice already. Never had this problem until I updated BOINC. For years... Ever since BOINC came out I had 20 projects and all 20 projects were "waiting to run". Now 1 project is "waiting to run" when WGC or TN-Grid is added. 10 days or 1. Does not matter. I'm not changing any settings. I here to report a bug. The point is if I had to change settings every time I updated BOINC then why? That's when I notice problems. P.S. Note: I had no work at all "waiting to run". So I added Milky Way only for GPU work. And all it did is run 1 of my 2 GPUs installed. Adding another project like Moo Wrapper into it and Milky Way started on the second GPU just fine???😲 And only after I added another GPU project. |
