LHC@home

What is causing this?
Look here https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/result.php?resultid=406915906 and https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/result.php?resultid=406607573
The first runs almost 10hours and 0 cpu time, the second 4hrs and 7mins using 14hrs and 56 mins cpu time on 4 cores.

I looked at another thread here: https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/forum_thread.php?id=5905 but I am not sure I understand why ATLAS vdi file has to be removed or if my error is the same error or not.

Any ideas whats going on?
I've had this error before but never dug into it.

I have completed 7/9 tasks ok.

Only for Win11pro:
saw today a few Tasks also, with no Cpu using.
boinc Virtualbox Task restarting inside Virtualbox. After this, Task ended correct.
Seeing Download or upload interrupts. Have to reactivate Up and Download in Boincmanager.
Maybe, some Networkproblems. On my side or Cern-IT, don't know.

win10 pro
not a internet issue, something internal in vbox or the task is buggy for these two.

Command:
VBoxManage -q startvm "boinc_91b24e19d2299ab1" --type headless
Output:
VBoxManage.exe: error: The VM session was aborted
VBoxManage.exe: error: Details: code E_FAIL (0x80004005), component SessionMachine, interface ISession
Waiting for VM "boinc_91b24e19d2299ab1" to power on...
Are you working with RDP and your networkconnection was lost?

RDP? No idea what that is.
Home user hardlined into telecom router to the outside world.
It is possible they disrupted my signal for a short second or so, but that would be super rare.
And at two different times while I am home watching tv? Very unlikely.

RDP = RemoteDesktop.
means making with this Tool a connect to a PC.
When you google (0x80004005) there are under Windows some reasons listed.
Alternativ microsoft.com support and searching this error.

Cool thanks

But another question, why did the task(s) keep running when they could not access the file (at least that seems to be the theory based on what I have found)? One had 4 hrs run time and the other had 10 hrs run time.

And then if you look at the workunit, 2 others after me crashed. https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/workunit.php?wuid=220274336 . First guy has pretty similar error messages as me in the hypervisor section. His bombed after 23 seconds vs my hours and he has windows 10 as well and a older Vbox version. Third guy was a linux user and he didn't even get it to start:
<core_client_version>7.7.0</core_client_version>

There is a Scriptproblem to stop the Task,
when cvmfs or other files to connect in the startphase can not mount.

computezrmle wrote some messages for this problem and tested the bootstrap with the Help of Cern-IT.
So, some Tasks must be stopped from our side.
There is no 100% Solution.
