All new tasks are failing. Maybe vdi-file has wrong name? I have downloaded Theory_2025_03_17_prod.vdi
stderr:
Command:
VBoxManage -q showhdinfo "C:\ProgramData\BOINC/projects/lhcathome.cern.ch_lhcathome/Theory_2025_03_17_dev.vdi" 
Output:

In the file Theory_2025_03_17_prod.xml on line

<multiattach_vdi_file>Theory_2025_03_17_dev.vdi</multiattach_vdi_file>

the wrong name for the vdi-file is used.

Should be: Theory_2025_03_17_prod.vdi


On the consoles ALT-F1 and ALT-F2 no usefull information.

A new version is available that fixes this issue. The consoles are not currently available. The running.log file can be seen via the graphics.

the latest version seems to work now, but what surprises me is what the log shows after testing the local proxy:

[INFO] /sbin/bootstrap: line 41: nc: command not found
[INFO] 127
[INFO] Local proxy can't be contacted and and will be ignored

how come?
