I cannot Hyper-V my Win 10 PC, so only sixtrack will work for me. I'd love to continue to crunch for little green men/women!

Stupid software will let me make a VM HDD, but it will not let me install an OS on it. I just get an error.

Failed to open a session for the virtual machine BOINC_VM1.

VT-x is not available (VERR_VMX_NO_VMX).

Result Code: E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Component: ConsoleWrap
Interface: IConsole {872da645-4a9b-1727-bee2-5585105b9eed}

But my BIOS says that VM is enabled.

Thank you.

I had tried the Virtual box on my PC but it caused so many problems I had to remove it.

I did find 2 .VDI files with their associated .XML that were 98 % of the 4.6 GB.

I removed them and it cleaned up the space used.

As to the comment that 4.6 GB is not a lot, it does depend on the size of the HDD.

I do have my PC's hidden as I had been compromised in the past and that is a tiny bit of additional security.

I have not had a task for sixtrack in the standard LHC (non-virtual) in quite a while but my PC says that it is using 4.6 GB of space.
User name

WHY? What can I clean out w/o damaging the app?

I have had this one stuck for 3 days. It is due today.

13 hours of crunching will be lost. Not that it would be a big credit loss.

SAD!

I would be leery for any application that 'needs' to have ports opened in a firewall.
The whole reason for BOINC is for all the applications to share the resources and features for doing data crunching. If these VM's needed special privileges, then they are not BOINC work and should provide their own process for this.

I personally had issues with the VM's causing my very robust system to lock up, forcing a hard power cycle and losing dozens if not hundreds of hours of work.

LHC work is very important, but getting out of the BOINC structure is not what I signed up for a LONG time ago.

I have found the Atlas tasks to be too resource-heavy for my machines so have deselected them in Project Preferences to limit them to just doing the much lighter Theory tasks. You could try that then perhaps add other applications individually to see which ones agree with your systems.


I have unchecked the ATLAS and Theory options and deselected the If no work, yet I still got Theory WU's.
I will now uninstall the VM software to prevent this mistake.
I am not participating in these:
CMS Simulation
LHCb Simulation
Theory Simulation
ATLAS Simulation

I personally am going to remove the Vbox application and stop crunching any of those WU's. They are crashing my very adequate PC and fouling up my Video card settings.
The same goes for Atlas, but it locks up my system no matter what I have done to my settings.

If this were a business software, I would already have legal action pending!

Fed up in WA :-(

I was having a different issue.

My PC's screens would go blank and essentially be w/o signal and the PC would stop responding to any inputs. I had to hard power cycle the PC.
I did this 3 times before all of these errored out.

https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/result.php?resultid=109168643

I then was able to finish the ATLAS units that were constantly waiting for memory when other WU's were in queue. That is for the ATLAS pages.
