Ok not sure where the completed units are coming from, the client hasn't shown any as completed yet as far as I have seen?

I have Theory running on Windows in Virtualbox, I have quite a few tasks running, all ar around 2% now with about 9 days remaining, non anywhere close to completion, however in my stats the number of valid and completed tasks goes up constantly with lots of small runtime units being submitted and validated, is theory in the VM running lots of small tasks rather than one task that's due to take 10 days?

Seem to have sorted it, adding an override file didn't seem to work but after some searching here editing this file /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/boinc-client.service and changing ProtectSystem=strict to full seems to have fixed it, ill keep an eye on outputs.

I have reset the project and cleared out any old entry on Vbox and the units still instantly fail, honastatly with CMS and Theory failing on Linux for me and now this I am tempted to give up on the project :(

Example task https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/result.php?resultid=405102137

Looks like the key points are :

VBoxManage.exe: error: Cannot close medium 'E:\Boinc\data\projects\lhcathome.cern.ch_lhcathome\CMS_2022_09_07_prod.vdi' because it has 1 child media

Rosetta @ home is also bringing the following error "Postponed: Communication with VM Hypervisor failed" so I am assuming a config issue somewhere?

I get the error

This sudo version is lower than 1.9.10.
It does not support regular expressions.
Hence, sudoers will not be modified.
Error running /tmp/prepare_theory_native_environment"

Bit of A Linux n00b, does this mean I will need to wait for software updates before I can run Theory? (Running Linux Mint)
I did have theory running briefly, but had to reinstalled and now its failing every time.

Tried uninstalling, rebooting, reinstalling, rebooting again, no help, still crashing, I'll just stop sending tasks there for now until I find a solution here or on Google.
Might just go back to Windows on this box as its much simpler, just loose out on a few apps.

Never run CMS on Linux before so I assume I am doing something wrong, I have tried using both the Boinc Virtualbox app from the software repository and installing Virtualbox direct from the main site, both end in failed tasks, any idea what I am doing wrong?

Post:
will this eventually allow Theory to run on the newer distros

Yes.


out of the box

Yes, but suspend/resume will not work.


without needing to edit anything in the OS

To make suspend/resume work tweaking the OS will be required since some settings must be done as root.
Expect further instructions when the new native app is ready to be published.
(No. I don't know when)


Awesome thanks, ill stick to Atlas for now and wait for the new Theory app.

Newbie question sorry, will this eventually allow Theory to run on the newer distros out of the box without needing to edit anything in the OS?
If so would it be best for us to wait for roll out and just block Theory for now rather than trying to get the current version to work?
