hello. After installing the latest version of Windows 11 built at the end of September 22, an error occurs.

Other operations are fine, but only the atlas gives a calculation error.

Is this related to windows 11 update?

Are there yellow triangle in Virtualbox - Manager for virtual medien?
This files must be deleted.
They are shown behind this >..... from Atlas_vbox_2.02_image.vdi

No... I opened up my virtual box and checked the status of the virtual machines.

However, there is no box marked with a yellow triangle (warning).

Any other solutions?

2022-09-23 14:12:49 (19212): Error in deregister parent vdi for VM: -2135228404
Command:
VBoxManage -q closemedium "C:\ProgramData\BOINC/projects/lhcathome.cern.ch_lhcathome/ATLAS_vbox_2.02_image.vdi"
Output:
VBoxManage.exe: error: Cannot close medium 'C:\ProgramData\BOINC\projects\lhcathome.cern.ch_lhcathome\ATLAS_vbox_2.02_image.vdi' because it has 1 child media

Have also since yesterday 22H2 for Windows11pro.
But, had all Atlas finished before installing.

I do not know.

I went to the file path you mentioned and deleted all folders and subfolders.

But I still get the error.

When you start Oracle VM Virtualbox Manager,
open the file-entry and then open the manager for virtual medien entry.
you see > ATLAS_vbox_2.02_image.vdi (multiattach entry)
When you click on this >.
See you a file with yellow triangle?
This file have to be deleted.
Every time a Atlas-Task is starting, and this file exists, the Task errored out.

thank you.

Thanks to you, the problem was solved.

have a good day :)

There are rarely new tasks available like this ones created this morning:

some workstations are better than others. Look at this...

Does it mean newest tasks are IPv6 only?

I got same invalid results for a bunch of my tasks too. (Example)

I think the real problem is this line:

> CVMFS is not available at /cvmfs/atlas-nightlies.cern.ch/repo/sw/logs/lastUpdate

atlas-nightlies.cern.ch is not in the configured sites, so it's not mounted. Do we need an update for our cvmfs config, or perhaps this is a batch of jobs not meant to send out to volunteers?

If you use the suggested CVMFS configuration supplementary repositories are mounted automatically when an app requires them.
The errors currently shown point out a misconfigured ATLAS batch rather than a local issue.

Permanently adding those supplementary repositories to the base configuration just wastes resources on the client, the server and along the whole network route.
