Sounds for me like the old upload malfunction of the local squid.
Have you set the upload-cache large enough for this gigabyte files?

For a temporary workaround try this:
Set for "lhcathome-upload.cern.ch" the no proxy option in Boinc-Manager
Works here like a charm.

It was something I liked.

I personally prefer the bigger jobs. From what I see, each ATLAS WU always has a 20-30 min idle setup time. Having more work per WU is going to help with efficiency quite a bit. It also seems to reduce the network usage on download side (from client).

As for cgroups v2.
The old method suggests to disable v2 via the boot parameter "systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=0".
If you use that parameter, remove it and reboot.


If so, a
"sudo update-grub"
may be required befor the reboot

Replace "...runc --root state..." with "...(runc|runc\.new|runc\.old) --root state..."

seems to work for me.

Please post the boinc-client service file you are currently using.
In the past there were some versions with a few options set too strict.


@Jerome_C2005
think computezrmle asks for the boinc* file in

/etc/systemd/system/
and
/etc/systemd/system/boinc-client.service.d/

The last is'n used in most cases

2. Is the user account (assuming it is "boinc" but you can use any other name except "root") running the BOINC client fully activated?
This means:
- does it have a real login shell in /etc/passwd
- does it have a password (an empty password deactivates the account)





login shell and password are not required for running tasks,
but it helps a lot to find some issues

Post:
sudo: a password is required


Have same issue on my manjaro box,

For me the (temporary) solution is to make a change to the regex script in /etc/sudoers/

from:
Cmnd_Alias LHCATHOMEBOINC_03 = /usr/bin/systemd-run ^--scope -u [a-zA-Z0-9_-]+ -p BindsTo=[a-zA-Z0-9_\.@-]+ -p After=[a-zA-Z0-9_\.@-]+ --slice-inherit --uid=[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+ --gid=boinc --same-dir -q -G /[a-zA-Z0-9_\./-]+/runc --root state run -b cernvm [a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$
to:
Cmnd_Alias LHCATHOMEBOINC_03 = /usr/bin/systemd-run ^--scope -u [a-zA-Z0-9_-]+ -p BindsTo=[a-zA-Z0-9_\.@-]+ -p After=[a-zA-Z0-9_\.@-]+ --slice-inherit --uid=[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+ --gid=boinc --same-dir -q -G /[a-zA-Z0-9_\./-]+/runc.+$

One more sign for the regex and my system gives "password is required"
But be aware: This is a safety issue.

@computezrmle
I'm open for a better solution.

Happy new year!

# next command intentionally without 'sudo'

Sorry, this was wrong in my post here since "ls ..." is not permitted via sudo.
Use "cat ..." to test if sudo works:
su -c "sudo cat /etc/sudoers.d/50-lhcathome_boinc_theory_native" boinc


This works for user boinc:

su - boinc
Passwort:
[boinc@TS-P310 ~]$ su -c "sudo cat /etc/sudoers.d/50-lhcathome_boinc_theory_native" boinc
Passwort:
# save this file as '/etc/sudoers.d/50-lhcathome_boinc_theory_native'
# ownership must be 'root:root' and access rights must be '-r--r-----'
# '@includedir /etc/sudoers.d' must be enabled in /etc/sudoers

# regular expressions are enclosed between '^' and '$'
# this is supported since sudo version 1.9.10
# for more information read 'man sudoers'

# the regex patterns given here must match the command arguments in the calling script
# missing/additional arguments or an argument order not in sync causes a command to be rejected

# the commands are permitted for the local group 'boinc'
# ensure the calling user is a member of that group


Cmnd_Alias LHCATHOMEBOINC_01 = /usr/bin/cat ^/etc/sudoers.d/50-lhcathome_boinc_theory_native$
Cmnd_Alias LHCATHOMEBOINC_02 = /usr/bin/systemctl ^(freeze|thaw) Theory_[-a-zA-Z0-9_]+\.scope$
Cmnd_Alias LHCATHOMEBOINC_03 = /usr/bin/systemd-run ^--scope -u [a-zA-Z0-9_-]+ -p BindsTo=[a-zA-Z0-9_\.@-]+ -p After=[a-zA-Z0-9_\.@-]+ --slice-inherit --uid=[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+ --gid=boinc --same-dir -q -G /[a-zA-Z0-9_\./-]+/runc --root state run -b cernvm [a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$

Given 'boinc_user' is the useraccount running your boinc service try this.
In case your boinc user has a different name use that name.

su - boinc_user
# ensure you are 'boinc_user'
whoami
# next command intentionally without 'sudo'
ls -hal /etc/sudoers.d/50-lhcathome_boinc_theory_native
#if 'ls' fails run the next command
sudo grep -i 'includedir' /etc/sudoers

Post the output here.


First I had to give user boinc a password for login:

sudo passwd boinc

su - boinc
Passwort:
[boinc@TS-P310 ~]$ whoami
boinc
[boinc@TS-P310 ~]$ ls -hal /etc/sudoers.d/50-lhcathome_boinc_theory_native
ls: Zugriff auf '/etc/sudoers.d/50-lhcathome_boinc_theory_native' nicht möglich: Keine Berechtigung
[boinc@TS-P310 ~]$ sudo grep -i 'includedir' /etc/sudoers
[sudo] Passwort für boinc:
Leider darf der Benutzer boinc »/usr/bin/grep -i includedir /etc/sudoers« als root auf TS-P310 nicht ausführen.
[boinc@TS-P310 ~]$

Looks like my system omits the leading "boinc :"

To verify this you may post the output of this:
grep -i boinc /etc/passwd
grep -i boinc /etc/group


grep -i boinc /etc/passwd
boinc:x:962:962:BOINC Daemon:/var/lib/boinc:/usr/bin/nologin


grep -i boinc /etc/group
boinc:x:962:bruno,vncuser


The two additional users are used to control the boinc-client.
Vbox is not in use.

v300.08 runs, if I give it full access:
%boinc ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL
But this is not a good idea!!

Then in log:
