Hi everyone.

My VBox tasks are working. But i made the mistake of installing podman 3.4.4. I found the little page explaining how to install it and hoy to copy/paste:

sudo usermod --add-subuids 100000-165535 --add-subgids 100000-165535 "My user ID"

podman is detected when BOINc starts but my (heory) docker Wu are failing after a couple seconds.

The simpler, the better. Uninstalling podman ? Copy/pasting a miraculous command ? Keep in mind i do not consider myself a pro bono employee of the CERN so i won't do convoluted things. The calculations are their problem after all.

Theory (vbox) runs fine on your computers.
Since you are also running ATLAS (vbox) it might be better not to run Theory (docker) to avoid conflicts.
Instead, add '<dont_use_docker>1</dont_use_docker>' to the <options> section of your cc_config.xml.
Then read config files.


If docker is a MUST for you, your logfiles tell you what to do:
Enable lingering

So,
- shutdown BOINC
- run 'sudo loginctl enable-linger 124' (that's from your logfile)
- start BOINC

Thank you very much.

I enabled lingering as it seemed simple. Now i have a virtualbox LHC theory work unit but i will keep you informed if i get additional docker ones

Enabling lingering did not work. A docker unit started and failed. I have added a "do not use docker" and restarted BOINC. The events menu seems to take it into account. We will see if i still get docker WUs.

After 18 virtualbox theory Work Units, i think i can say the "do not use docker" in the config file worked. :)
