Best wishes.
Health is more important than LHC@home.
Take care and take the time it needs to recover.

Get well soon.

Hello,
How do I limit the number of concurrent CMS VM's?
I have an 8 core CPU (i4790K), but my 2TB SATA HDD struggles with more than two VM's.
I've reduced the number of cores available for BOINC but of course; that limits other projects.
Thanks.

Thank you!
nslookup returned an IPv6 address and it works.

PS.
Is there a recommended DNS server to install just for this local BOINC Squid?
Thanks.

I'm using Windows 10.
In BOINC "squid.conf" provided, there is a guide for setting the DNS server that squid uses -

# A MUST on Windows.
# If unsure try the the LAN IP of your internet router.
# Avoid using external DNS here.

dns_nameservers [list of IP addresses]


The documentation page for "Squid configuration directive dns_nameservers" http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/dns_nameservers/ says:

On Windows platforms, if no value is specified here or in
the /etc/resolv.conf file, the list of DNS name servers are
taken from the Windows registry, both static and dynamic DHCP
configurations are supported.


I've tried my Default Gateway IP (LAN IP of the internet router) with no success.
I've tried leaving it out and blank, with no success.
Against the advice I tried an external DNS IP and it worked.

Is there another solution?
Thanks.

Hello,
How do I set up a local HTTP proxy, please?

The VirtualBox shows this -
--:--:--.------ VMMDev: Guest Log: [INFO] Could not find a local HTTP proxy
--:--:--.------ VMMDev: Guest Log: [INFO] CVMFS and Frontier will have to use DIRECT connections
--:--:--.------ VMMDev: Guest Log: [INFO] This makes the application less efficient
--:--:--.------ VMMDev: Guest Log: [INFO] It also puts higher load on the project servers
--:--:--.------ VMMDev: Guest Log: [INFO] Setting up a local HTTP proxy is highly recommended
--:--:--.------ VMMDev: Guest Log: [INFO] Advice can be found in the project forum

Thanks.

Anyone would think we were investigating aliens!

My BOINC_VM is running on Linux. See the instructions by BenSegal on the LHC+@home thread.

Fantastic.
It\'ll take a little time as I\'ve ZERO experience of VM\'s.
Now is the time.
Two birds with one stone.
Thanks.

There seem to be two types of WU - 100,000 and 1 million 'turns'. For me on a 2.4 P4 the short WUs take one hour, long ones 10 hours.

Bear in mind that some short WUs end very quickly (seconds) if the modelled beam crashes in the wall.

2 day buffer should be fine. You may be limited by quota before you fill it though.

Al.


Yes, yes and yes.

Thanks Al.

I mean a work unit! Just to make sure that I'm not being excluded from the full crossection of workunits available by setting my buffer to 2 days. Is this too short for some?
Thanks,
Guy.

A similar experience.
My credits appear to add up, but the 'Results' page is full of holes. In fact, I don't know if some of my results have been lost completely or not.
