Greetings. I can not find a requirement webpage for the LHC requirements. I did - set BIOS VM setting - reinstall BOINC with VBOX - successfully run an Atlas WU. But since I could not find out what the wu did, I cancelled - and restarted. This time, I will try sixtrack - without VBOX. But I see: Mon 28 Feb 2022 01:03:25 PM EST | LHC@home | Sending scheduler request: To fetch work.

Thanks, Jay |

SIxtrack does not need VBox. The messages is shown because sixtrack tasks are not available just now, so Boinc suggests to run other subprojects which all need VBox or Linux for native science apps. Lately sixtrack has only been available maybe once a day and only maybe 50 000 ... 100 000 at a time. That amount won't last long and if your computer doesn't request tasks at the right time you may miss them. |

Just downloading some sixtracktest tasks. It has been a long time since I saw them last time. Not showing yet on the server status page but I've received about 100 on 2 hosts.. |

Just downloading some sixtracktest tasks. They published a new version of sixtracktest app. What's new?? |
