The clue might be in the name. sixtrackTEST, therefore jobs may not work as expected or even at all. If you only want to run reliable jobs then uncheck the "Run test applications" box. You might also consider turning down your work buffer so you don't get so many. Aborting hundreds of tasks isn't helpful.
I have only been able to get 12 of these. Some have been short, some are over 30hrs. The short ones (unstable beam parameters) can be just as useful as the long ones. Any failures can be used to refine the setup and result in better performance of future tasks.

Have a Computer with only sixtracktest for the Moment:
The wingman had this Error:

Hmmm not right now.

When following the guide I mentioned in my first post re: Singularity, it all falls apart after that slightly modified download is unzipped into the /home/username folder. I have been looking around for what and where to cd to in order to "./configure --prefix=/usr/local"

sudo wget -O- http://neuro.debian.net/lists/xenial.us-ca.full | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/neurodebian.sources.list
sudo apt-get install -y singularity-container

singularity --version

The server scheduler is sometimes confused, how to interpret the max # settings.
...

Yeah I already suspected that. As soon as I changed it back enough tasks went in.
Thanks for the app_config but unfortunately when I want to save the file with gedit in the project directory Ubuntu doesn't let me access the 'projects'-folder for some reason...

sudo nautilus

sudo gedit /var/lib/boinc-client/lhcathome.cern.ch_lhcathome

[1] How many times do I have to tell people not to touch critical systems on a Friday -- especially Friday afternoon!?

Well, thanks for the tips but I couldn't get this damn CVMFS installed at all no matter what I tried meanwhile. :-\
I'm too inexperienced with Linux to dig into this even more and don't have the time either so I give up here.
Too bad... I hope a Windows app for this will come out sooner or later, if not then so be it...

If you want to try Ubuntu you can use the instructions I gave to my team. It's worked for me on several 18.04 installs. The instructions given at LHC forums are way overly complicated for no reason when CVFMS can be installed from a repository. It's also much quicker than compiling it.

Our instructions for the Theory app point to the official CVMFS documentation. Please let me know if you think any improvements are required.

I see that the maximum runtime of last 100 tasks is 25.06 hours.

Would be interesting to know what job and result-id it was.
