Posted 18 May 2024 by nairb Post: Well, the w/u using 4 cpu's and 400 events and only 1 worker has indeed finished OK after giving the impression of not working. Thanks Nairb |

Posted 16 May 2024 by nairb Post: One of the w/u is using 4 cpu's and 1850 events and shows 4 worker progress lines on an alt-F2. Another w/u is using 4 cpu's and shows 400 events and only 1 worker progress line. I seen NO athena.py process on an alt-F3. And N/A for most of the information on the alt-F2 Is this correct.... I might have aborted a couple of tasks thinking this is wrong for the 400 task jobs Ta Nairb |

(Message 47979)
Posted 6 Apr 2023 by nairb Post: Many thanks for the info. I followed your instructions and now the machine is running 2 cms jobs fine. It's only using half the available ram, so might even be able to run 3 jobs at once, I have set the preferences to have only 2 jobs at once to be sure. All is now running fine Ta Nairb |

Posted 5 Apr 2023 by nairb Post: A fedora 36 machine will run ATLAS jobs fine. But sofar all CMS jobs fail with "00:00:05.652853 Console: VM runtime error: fatal=false, errorID=VMBootFail message="The VM failed to boot. This is possibly caused by not having an operating system installed or a misconfigured boot order. Maybe picking a guest OS install DVD will resolve the situation". VBox works well with Atlas but not with CMS. Vbox ver 7.06. Any clues?? other than dont run cms. Ta Nairb |

Installing vbox on fedora30
(Message 46849)
Posted 6 Jun 2022 by nairb Post: For those who worry about such things I have managed to install vbox on fedora 36. Not the best solution. So I tried one of the fedora spins the LXDE one. It requires much less disk space which is great since I have a bunch of sata 40g disks. It took a fair amount of effort to get boinc to see virtualbox. A good many messages saying that vbox was not installed. Anyway after a few hours it was fixed. SO fedora 36 and vbox seem to be a winning combination. |

Posted 1 Jun 2022 by nairb Post: Well, for what it's worth...... I have a disk with fedora 32 installed. So I plugged it into a 4core I5 machine. And after a fair bit of effort managed to get vbox 6.1 installed as well. I set the application to use only 2 cpu's at once and set it off. Well sofar it's doing ok. So it looks like fedora 32 is ok to use. I know it's not a mass market, but I suspect fedora 33/34 will be ok as well. |

Installing vbox on fedora30
(Message 46699)
Posted 28 Apr 2022 by nairb Post: Well the Orale/VirtualBox website says fedora 32 or fedora 33/34/35. So it looks like I dont have the kit to run this atlas stuff. I dont want to upgrade to the latest fedora because I dont know if I could get the libs for CPDN. I think fedora dropped 32bit support after fedora 30. This windoze laptop just does not have the memory to run atlas and other tasks together. There is always sixtrack. Ta Nairb |

Posted 26 Apr 2022 by nairb Post: Hurrrray its done an Atlas w/u and its been Completed and validated. The smart move now is to let it complete the w/u left and set up the desktop with vbox and run Atlas from there since its always connected to the internet. This laptop is better with the six track w/u. But at least its worked for once. Ta Nairb |

Posted 25 Apr 2022 by nairb Post: Yes that was the real problem - not enough memory. I followed the checklist but still needed to stop a couple of other processes to get enough memory for the vbox to work. Even the F2/F3 keys work now. I get 2 athema.py processes running and it has completed 10 of 200 events so far. Its plain I will have to increase the amount of memory on this machine if I want to run atlas on a regular basis. Thanks to all who have helped. I would have probably given up otherwise. I will try getting the I7 machine set-up with vbox but had better wait till the cpdn jobs have finished first. Thanks Nairb |

Posted 24 Apr 2022 by nairb Post: Right I have a major step forward. For some reason the alt f3/f2 gave the login prompt (again) but this time I used atlas login (again) and for the first time ever I was logged in. Hurray. Now I am more familiar with linux so first i found out that it does see 4 cpus. Top produced some interesting info. A quick grep with athena and nothing was found. All cpu's are idle. The id in top is 99.9%. Nearly all memory is free. So it would seem that nothing is being processed. There are 4 cpu's in the top list. Is there a log somewhere that might show why its failed or not processing? or failed to start. Ta Nairb |

Posted 24 Apr 2022 by nairb Post: So, in the VirtualBox manager I press the green "show" icon. I get a black window which I can try and log on. If I select "machine from the menu and then session information from the drop down menu I get another screen showing cpu load at about 50% average. But I dont know if that is all four cpu's or just 1. From Boinc if I select properties from the running job is says 7.30mins of cpu time and 4 seconds CPU time since checkpoint. With an Elapsed time of 18.36 hrs. I think I have opened all the correct port numbers. I dont think this is working. And I dont think it ever has on this win10 machine for some reason. I ran the V-CPU from LeoMoon and have 2 green boxes. I bet if I leave this running it would take 3+ days if it dosen't fail first |

Posted 22 Apr 2022 by nairb Post: Just added ATLAS Simulation. Downloaded the latest version of VM box 6.1 and downloaded a few Atlas jobs. I suspended all but 1 job and its started and "seems" to be running?. It is doing about 6.5%/hr. I notice that the cpu load is averaging about 60%. Is this normal?. All other other jobs from other projects seem to run 100%. Even the six track runs max speed. The normal windoz task manager show very little cpu load. Is this all normal? Ta Nairb |

The last 10% takes days
(Message 41824)
Posted 5 Mar 2020 by nairb Post: Sorry if this has been asked before... I'm sure it has. After endless hundreds of sixtrack jobs I thought I would try an Atlas w/u. I started off with an expected run time of 18 hrs or so. Well its now into 4 days 5hrs with 5% left. The last 10% has taken ages. I'm not sure it will make the 6th march deadline. There seems to be little cpu activity (2 cores 4 logical cpu's) and little memory usage. Is this typical? Ta Nairb Win10, I5 cpu 8 gig ram |
