Hello everyone,

I am returning after a very long time.

My moderately reliable information tells me i can run CPU tasks without virtualbox by selecting the "sixtrack" and "Xtrack" only. Is that correct ? Also i read those WU are very rare. So my participation here will be very symbolic. There is also a "run native if available " option, does it help in my case ? I run two machines on Xubuntu 20.04 and 22.04.

Sixtrack is the old application that had no new tasks since years and was replaced by Xtrack that got released before end 2025 but there have been no new tasks in 2026 yet,
Absolute no idea when we will get new tasks. At least on the software development side it seems like the xtrack/xboinc project is still active but no news about boinc workunits.

Run Native is specific to ATLAS tasks on linux. Native means that they use the native CVMFS on your PC instead of one in Virtualbox(CVMFS needs to installed and setup with the right configs)

Then there is theory that has new Docker/podman tasks.
not sure if "run native" does anything there, as the Native theory tasks got replaced with theoryDocker https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/forum_thread.php?id=6438

Thank you. This is clear. :)
