I downgraded to 6.0 and that seems to have fixed the error issues now.

Thanks for all your help in these matters.

No typo, its not actually BOINC although it does look kind of similar.

Its my understand that Bionic is the release name for Debian 18.04.

I have now made the added hosts visible; its the V4 Xeon that is having these errors.

These are the commands I used to setup VirtualBox:

echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian bionic contrib" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
wget -q https://www.virtualbox.org/download/oracle_vbox_2016.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -
apt update
apt install virtualbox-6.1

As a side issue, any ideas on why some (or all) VM's produce the error on Theory tasks: 'fail to open the medium with the following ID..'?

This host has already completed some tasks so I would guess its all setup correctly.

Its currently running VirtualBox 6.1.2.

Hi,

Does anyone know the current memory requirements per task, for Theory and CMS?

E.G. 2GB per thread/task

I am trying to work out how much RAM I need to run Theory and CMS on a 22c/44t host.

Thanks
