Hi all it's been a long time I don't participate to LHC, having a brand new iMac with lots of threads and lots of RAM I decided to participate again. The theory task I got (not native, VB task) crashed after a few seconds. 2020-12-13 12:51:26 (92566): Starting VM. (boinc_3295bc59a61cabd2, slot#16) I've been using the machine on some other projects for a few weeks now without problem, but it is the first VB based application I'm starting on it. VB seems to be properly detected at startup 09-Dec-2020 17:04:11 [---] VirtualBox version: 6.1.16r140961 Exactly the same did happen with LHC@Home-dev. Any idea ? Thanks ! PD : mmm I changed my preferences on both projects to deactivate theory app (in the default pref / my machine is on the default since there is no location in the machine list page) and guess what, LHC-dev did took it into account and sent my a CMS task, I'll see how it goes, but LHC didn't and sent me more theory tasks ! PD2 : well CMS also crash the same way on LHC-dev... |

Not sure but might be way if like to digg in to virtualbox forums for MacOSX: it point to https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=87306 for this error code There is one solution on stackoverflow to try: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52689672/virtualbox-ns-error-failure-0x80004005-macos This error seems to appear with VirtualBox installs on versions of macOS 10.13. Could be that Oracle was blocked in Security & Privacy? Give it a try to allow it[/code] |

Thanks for the feedback, i'm about to leave for holidays but I'll try it when I'm back. I remember having a message about allowing Oracle at boot time, I was wondering "what app from Oracle exactly ?" but I would say "yes", a few times... I also know about this security page requiring allowance when installing certain types of applications... but I haven't tried LHC since then, I think. I have another VB boinc application crunching without issues (QChemPedIA), so anyway I'll try again and let you know. |

Well I tried to do this : to uninstall I had to authorise the app you mentioned in security & confidentiality / general tab, because it was blocked. After uninstall, I reinstalled it all, but then no authorization was required there, all went through. And in the confidentiality tab I found no reference to VirtualBox or Oracle. I have to wait for some high priority tasks of another project to finish and I'll give it another try... |

It's been crunching OK now since yesterday !! I am running 13 CMS tasks on my 40 GB / core i9 iMac : it's stops crunching at max 13 tasks because of the crazy memory requirement, 4 GB per task, but it's working !! Happy New Year to all :) (starting well for me ;) ) |

It's been crunching OK now since yesterday !! ??? CMS VMs use 2 GB, Theory VMs use 630 MB. |

Well I'm no specialist of memory management but on my iMac (4 CMS and 2 Atlas at the moment) : |
