Oh yes, that's another annoying story. Some LHC tasks comes with an estimated resolution time of 15 minutes and need than between a day and more than 8 days. When this happens, I think about to cancel them, but sometimes, even after 8 days in in the accepted time frame I get them ready.
How can I identify such junk files?
Best regards, Dirk

I marked each check box now. But to be honest, I didn't see a check box for logs...
Thanks and best regards, Dirk

Hmm, where or what is Hypervisor? I've heard about HyperV with Windows, but on Mac? Or is it a config in Vbox?

Hi,
since some weeks I struggle with lots of computation errors for LHC@home with CMS and Theory tasks. I've updated Virtual Box to latest version (7.1.6 r167084 (Qt6.5.3)) but it didn't solve it. Is there something I have to do with Vbox or is a plain installation sufficient?
I use Mac Powerbooks (Sequoia 15.3 and Monterey 12.7.6) with BOINC 8.0.2. On both Mac's I have the same behavior.
Have you any idea what I can do?
Thanks in advance, Dirk
