Hello
Back after a long while and figured I'd start off small with just an old dual Opteron 6128.
Boinc 7.16.6, Ubuntu 20.04, virtual box 6.1.16, and to my knowledge cvmfs working (at least the probe worked just fine).
I am a complete newbie at this, so any help is appreciated.
The following task errored out. The machine is set to use 4 CPU cores per task, has plenty of ram (32 GB).
https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/result.php?resultid=302706770
If any more info is needed please let me know.
Any help appreciated.

Edit: Well, used apt-get to install and now we're crunching just fine. I don't recall this happening before. Does this not get installed alongside anymore?
Making a checklist for this project so this is good to know.
For reference,
sudo apt-get install squashfs-tools

Any help appreciated.

Good to see that you got it running.

Nonetheless you may check your CVMFS setup.
It connects via a fallback proxy at Fermilab (131.225.188.245).
To get out why be so kind as to post the output of the following command:
cvmfs_config showconfig atlas.cern.ch |grep -E 'FALLBACK_PROXY|HTTP_PROXY|USE_CDN'

squashfs is needed for Atlas in Linux.
Have it installed also in CentOS8 and CentOS7.
There is a message from David in the Atlas thread.

To get out why be so kind as to post the output of the following command:
cvmfs_config showconfig atlas.cern.ch |grep -E 'FALLBACK_PROXY|HTTP_PROXY|USE_CDN'

This is the output.
'FALLBACK_PROXY|HTTP_PROXY|USE_CDN'
CVMFS_EXTERNAL_FALLBACK_PROXY=
CVMFS_EXTERNAL_HTTP_PROXY=
CVMFS_FALLBACK_PROXY='http://cvmfsbproxy.cern.ch:3126;http://cvmfsbproxy.fnal.gov:3126'    # from /cvmfs/cvmfs-config.cern.ch/etc/cvmfs/domain.d/cern.ch.conf
CVMFS_HTTP_PROXY='http://squid:3128;DIRECT'    # from /cvmfs/cvmfs-config.cern.ch/etc/cvmfs/domain.d/cern.ch.conf
CVMFS_USE_CDN=yes    # from /etc/cvmfs/default.local


For reference, I followed this guide.
https://cvmfs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/cpt-quickstart.html
Followed by
https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/forum_thread.php?id=4971
However, while this method has always been tried and true in the past, I got immediate failures when running 'cvmfs_config probe'.
So then it was on over to this thread https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/forum_thread.php?id=5594
I copied the default.local outlined in this thread and now things seem to be going fairly okay, I think.
For what it's worth, I feel like at this point I'm one of those monkeys trying to write Shakespeare, pounding keys and hoping for a miracle. I quite literally have no idea what is making things work behind the scenes or what my part in it is (CVMFS and native theory specifically).
Thank you for everyone who have taken the time to pile all these resources together. Now I just need to figure out how to optimize my setup, perhaps.

The fallback proxies are configured by a script that is located on CERN's online repository cvmfs-config.cern.ch.
This is done because your defaul.local defines a squid that can't be accessed or does not even exist.
It looks like you simply copied the default.local file from the forum thread and did not read the comments inside.

There are 2 possible solutions:
1. To setup a local proxy and replace "squid" with it's hostname
2. To remove the "#" in front of CVMFS_HTTP_PROXY="auto;DIRECT"

(1.) would be the preferred method for clusters/single computers providing more than 5 worker nodes
(2.) is the simple solution
The limit of 5 should be seen as a magnitude rather than a sharp limit.


Don't forget an "[sudo] cvmfs_config reload" after you saved the changes.

<edit>
Sorry, checked the wrong logfile.
Your recent ones show that you are already running a proxy called "squid".
That's fine. Leave it this way.

Both of these machines are running at different locations, so are single, and I do not believe require a local proxy.
The Opterons should really be retired soon. They are currently my space heater, but 2.0 ghz and over 130 plus w each is a little intense on the electric bill when there are Ryzen 3's that can outdo it these days.
