2) Message boards : Number crunching : VM : Invalid settings: Display: Screen page ... assigned less than 12 MB of video memory (Message 716) Posted 6 May 2021 by Dirk Broer Post: You are at the right place, but you can only change the values for VMs while they are not running.

4) Message boards : Number crunching : Export statistics (Message 642) Posted 9 Oct 2020 by Dirk Broer Post: Still no update in stats. Is no-one there, do you not know how to do it, or do you just not care ? It should be a cron job, running several times a day. Not a just-run-once-in-a-while-when-we-feel-up-to-it.
5) Message boards : News : Request for feedback (Message 639) Posted 6 Oct 2020 by Dirk Broer Post: It would help if there was more communication from the project about what is going on or my fellow crunchers will continue to loose interest in the project. Cheers +1
6) Message boards : Number crunching : Getting all errors on Ubuntu 18.04 (Message 634) Posted 30 Sep 2020 by Dirk Broer Post: Can't say I did anything different other than install BOINC from the Desktop into the Home Folder ... weird But why do you -and others- install BOINC in the home folder? What is the advantage?
7) Message boards : Number crunching : VirtualBox 5.1 and Windows 10 2004 (Message 633) Posted 30 Sep 2020 by Dirk Broer Post: It works!! Windows 10 and VirtualBox 6.1.8!! WOO HOO!!! I have some badges to get!!! Badges? What for? Not in this project yet....you might get a WuProp star for it though.

The situation is still unchanged: all export stats files are from December the 13th, 2019....

10) Questions and Answers : Windows : VM Hypervisor failed to enter an online state in a timely fashion (Message 601) Posted 14 Aug 2020 by Dirk Broer Post: Each WU same status what can i do ? What version of Virtualbox do you use? 5.2.8 is known to work. I had some luck sometimes using 6.1.10, before they all errored out with "Access Violation (0xc0000005) at address 0x00007FFE861C0907 read attempt to address 0xFFFFFFFF" I am now using 6.1.12, which gives the same error.

12) Message boards : Number crunching : ARM support? // No tasks (Message 554) Posted 3 Apr 2020 by Dirk Broer Post: This https://boinc.nanohub.org/nanoHUB_at_home/apps.php looks to be x86-64 only, so no ARM -yet.
13) Questions and Answers : Windows : Message: Postponed: VM job unmanageable, restarting later (Message 499) Posted 26 Nov 2019 by Dirk Broer Post: So, I have a .xml file with just, <app_config> <project_max_concurrent>3</project_max_concurrent> </app_config> in it, and I'm still having the same issue, despite restarts and using the read config option in BOINC. I'm confident that the .xml file is actually an .xml file, since I went to codebeautify.org to enter in the above code, add in the necessary syntax, and download it as an XML file. It is in C:\ProgramData\BOINC\projects\boinc.nanohub.org_nanoHUB_at_home, and I'm pretty sure that's the right location. Can anyone suggest what I'm doing wrong? It -the BOINC app_config- isn't meant to be proper xml. It is meant to be a txt file, saved as xml only.
14) Message boards : Number crunching : Very short return time (Message 97) Posted 10 Dec 2018 by Dirk Broer Post: The batch I just got only ran for a couple of minutes. Guess this project isn't for you. I think you are confusing run time and deadline here. An eight-hour deadline is ridiculously short, especially when you run more than one project -I run forty.
15) Message boards : Number crunching : Error creating VirtualBox instance (Message 40) Posted 18 Jun 2018 by Dirk Broer Post: Your cleanup fails because it wants to remove a Windows virtual machine, while the actual virtual machine is a Linux one. Because the cleanup fails, RAM is nor freed. So, after a few Virtual machines have run all available RAM is in use and the system gets out of control.
16) Message boards : Number crunching : Error creating VirtualBox instance (Message 38) Posted 18 Apr 2018 by Dirk Broer Post: My last three tasks were reported as having ended in error on your site while the VMs were still running on my machine The last bunch does the same, but now the system almost gets out of control while the VM runs and the WU is still on the system too. System freezes, other projects get errors. Your VMs have far too little video RAM too -it is being marked as an invalid setting.
