1) Message boards : CMS Application : CMS tasks failing Message 53616 Posted 1 day ago by Harri Liljeroos	In reply to Garrulus glandarius's message of 12 May 2026: Anyone else having all new CMS tasks failing after 9-10 seconds? Or did I mess something up? Just downloaded a few and at least first 3 are running OK in VirtualBox after 12 minutes.
2) Message boards : ATLAS application : A lot of download errors on Atlas tasks Message 53589 Posted 4 days ago by Harri Liljeroos	I just checked the tally for this afternoon. About 420 download errors and 50 successful.
3) Message boards : ATLAS application : A lot of download errors on Atlas tasks Message 53571 Posted 5 days ago by Harri Liljeroos	I am seeing a lot of download errors now that the servers are back again. There were some also before maintenance but now it happens on most of the Atlas tasks.
4) Message boards : Theory Application : How do I tell if a podman theory task in windows is stuck or still running? Message 53569 Posted 5 days ago by Harri Liljeroos	In reply to Mr P Hucker's message of 8 May 2026: In reply to Toby Broom's message of 8 May 2026: I got into the slots that has the task and check the date last modified of the runrivet.log file, if they are stuck the file is not updated for a while. You can also check inside the file for the neventsm, if this is big then it expected to take a while. I have one without a runrivet file. This is the contents of the slot: [folder] shared boinc_lockfile boinc_setup_complete boinc_task_state.xml docker_wrapper Dockerfile entrypoint.sh init_data.xml input job.toml stderr.txt The runrivet.log file should be in the shared folder. At least that's where it is with VirtualBox.

6) Message boards : Number crunching : Scheduler request to https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome_cgi/cgi failed: HTTP gateway timeout Message 53518 Posted 9 days ago by Harri Liljeroos	Today I'm having problems to report finished tasks because of the gateway timeout error.
7) Message boards : Theory Application : This gonna be long Message 53467 Posted 21 days ago by Harri Liljeroos	In reply to greg_be's message of 22 Apr 2026: regarding Theory_2922-xxxxx tasks, the Boinc Manager shows just over an hour estimated for run time. I just aborted at 21 hour runtime task that was at 99,999% and not moving. The clock counter showed an increase in run time each time it checkpointed. But no progress increase. This is the second time now..whats going on? One of my aborted tasks was also bombed before me and after me. The task progress shown in Boinc Manager has nothing to do with the actual task progress as the progress is not reported from VBox back to Boinc manager. What you see is Boinc managers estimate based on previously run tasks. This can be wildly off because Theory tasks are so varied in run times.

9) Message boards : ATLAS application : ATLAS failed Message 53318 Posted 27 Mar 2026 by Harri Liljeroos	In reply to Erich56's message of 27 Mar 2026: In reply to Harri Liljeroos's message of 27 Mar 2026: Quite a lot of Atlas tasks are erroring out. They seem to fail in VB and Docker. Here's one example: https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/result.php?resultid=434148122 same here. I stopped downloading ATLAS for the time being. I meant of course native Linux, not Docker. But anyway, there are no new Atlas tasks to download so Theory VB it is for now.

11) Message boards : Number crunching : Error reported by file upload server: Server is out of disk space Message 53313 Posted 27 Mar 2026 by Harri Liljeroos	Upload server has some new error: 5007 LHC@home 27-03-2026 10:34 [error] Error reported by file upload server: EOF on socket read : asked for 262144, got 46720
12) Message boards : ATLAS application : ATLAS failed Message 53200 Posted 19 Mar 2026 by Harri Liljeroos	The upload problems are because the server is out of disk space. There are also some long tasks going around (2000 and 1800 events take about 40-50 hours with 4 cores). Also I've seen some long 400 event tasks that take about 8 hours.
13) Message boards : Number crunching : Scheduler request to https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome_cgi/cgi failed: HTTP gateway timeout Message 53161 Posted 12 Mar 2026 by Harri Liljeroos	Yes, I'm seeing this also. But not on every request. My oldest message logs start from 5th of March and this message was there already then but I think situation has been getting worse since then.

15) Message boards : Number crunching : Server problem? Message 53148 Posted 10 Mar 2026 by Harri Liljeroos	https://grafana.kiska.pw/d/boinc/boinc?orgId=1&var-project=lhc@home&from=now-7d&to=now&refresh=30m See the Status and Response time graphs on that page. There are clearly times when it takes a long time the project to respond but I don't know if times correlate your observations.
16) Message boards : Number crunching : Server problem? Message 53027 Posted 13 Feb 2026 by Harri Liljeroos	Getting a lot of Atlas download errors at the moment. First the server aborted all my downloaded Atlas tasks and now new downloads are failing.
17) Message boards : Theory Application : No Tasks Message 52990 Posted 7 Feb 2026 by Harri Liljeroos	The creation of new Theory tasks has stopped. 990 tasks ready to send but dropping steadily.
18) Message boards : News : Server Upgrade - Monday 26th January 2026 Message 52907 Posted 28 Jan 2026 by Harri Liljeroos	After the server update I have encountered situation when updating LHC project.

I have seen situation when win10 says LHC is under maintenance but win11 works normally and also vice versa. Restarting Boinc won't clear the situation, but restarting the computer does. So after computer restart the server reply changes to normal: 28-Jan-2026 14:08:37 [LHC@home] update requested by user 28-Jan-2026 14:08:39 [LHC@home] [sched_op] sched RPC pending: Requested by user 28-Jan-2026 14:08:39 [LHC@home] [sched_op] Starting scheduler request 28-Jan-2026 14:08:39 [LHC@home] Sending scheduler request: Requested by user. 28-Jan-2026 14:08:39 [LHC@home] Requesting new tasks for CPU 28-Jan-2026 14:08:39 [LHC@home] [sched_op] CPU work request: 71623.48 seconds; 0.00 devices 28-Jan-2026 14:08:39 [LHC@home] [sched_op] NVIDIA GPU work request: 0.00 seconds; 0.00 devices 28-Jan-2026 14:08:39 [LHC@home] [sched_op] AMD/ATI GPU work request: 0.00 seconds; 0.00 devices 28-Jan-2026 14:08:40 [LHC@home] Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks 28-Jan-2026 14:08:40 [LHC@home] [sched_op] Server version 803 28-Jan-2026 14:08:40 [LHC@home] No tasks sent 28-Jan-2026 14:08:40 [LHC@home] No tasks are available for SixTrack 28-Jan-2026 14:08:40 [LHC@home] No tasks are available for Theory Simulation 28-Jan-2026 14:08:40 [LHC@home] No tasks are available for ATLAS Simulation 28-Jan-2026 14:08:40 [LHC@home] No tasks are available for XTrack 28-Jan-2026 14:08:40 [LHC@home] A newer BOINC may be required for some tasks. 28-Jan-2026 14:08:40 [LHC@home] Tasks for AMD/ATI GPU are available, but your preferences are set to not accept them 28-Jan-2026 14:08:40 [LHC@home] Project requested delay of 6 seconds 28-Jan-2026 14:08:40 [LHC@home] [sched_op] Deferring communication for 00:00:06 28-Jan-2026 14:08:40 [LHC@home] [sched_op] Reason: requested by project

20) Message boards : News : Server Upgrade - Monday 26th January 2026 Message 52878 Posted 26 Jan 2026 by Harri Liljeroos	I see weird behavior from the server. I have 2 hosts, win10 with Boinc 7.16.5 and win11 with Boinc 8.0.2. The win11 host gets server replies that say that the project is temporarily shut down for maintenance and get deferred for 60 minutes. Also it cannot report any finished tasks (Theory and Atlas, upload does work) or get new tasks. The win10 host gets normal working replies from server with the 6 second deferral. It does still report and download tasks normally.
