Also, BOINC Client must "think" VirtualBox is installed.

I have not found VirtualBox to be necessary. My present machine, a Ryzen 2600 (Ubuntu 18.04.1) does not have it installed.

Yes, that's right.
VirtualBox is not necessary for QC WUs to run.
I mixed requirements for another of my CPU projects, LHC@Home... Excuse me ;-)

I run both also; I usually just install it anyway.

Good then a buy 8 GB extra. Hope the aged electrical capacitor from my over 5 year old mainboard get not killed...

And now i am blind. Exist a Ubuntu 18.04.1 64 Bit i386-Version or im stupid to look?

The "Desktop image" works for me on both AMD (Ryzen) and Intel (i7-8700).
Their description is a bit confusing though.

Hi what is the requirement i have 4 go ram / i5-8400 on my linux. It ok ?

Witch is the command for helping ?

--project_attach http://www.gpugrid.net account_key ???


Thx

I installed a VirtualBox Linux on a Windows 10 PC but the BOINC Manager supplied by SuSE does not work. So I attached it to Einstein@home by a line command using the key I know. But I don't know the GPUGRID key. Also, I installed the nVidia driver for my GTX 750 board, but the Einstein client does not recognize it.

I'm using Linux Mint 18.1(Serena) on my Win10 machine and it runs well with boinc and gpugrid

Hi, we need more CPUs on Linux to run QM simulations. Anybody can help?

If you give me your key I can make a manual connection from this Virtual Machine as I have done with Einstein@home. The SuSE BOINC manager does not work on the Virtual Machine. You can PM me.

I believe that's your weak account key listed on your GPUGrid account page.

Just place your QM Linux app into a Virtualbox container to make it available for Windows clients in order to acquire the largest possible pool of machines - without significant add-on developmental needs.

Using vbox to get the most users is an oxymoron. The native Linux app already uses a lot of disk space as is.

Disk space? Ehm, since when is disk space an issue in 2019? ;-)
RAM could indeed become an issue, though...

Just check the world-wide OS distribution, or even just within the BOINC community - then you know where the true bottle neck is hiding (not that I like it but, unfortunately, it's a fact...).

Michael.

P.S.: Anyway - I just saw that the VM approach had already been mentioned above. I should have read the thread more carefully this time, I guess... ;-)

On my account page there is no key, either weak or strong. I have both Keys for all my projects, except GPUGRID. I have installed SuSE Linux Leap 15.0 on a Windows 10 PC with Home edition 1809. Then I accepted an update from SuSE and found myself with the Tumbleweed version of SuSE Linux, which is a development version. I connected it manually to Einstein@home, since its BOINC manager does not work.

On the top left quadrant of my GPUGrid account page is where I see my weak account key (bold). If you don't have one then I'm not sure what the problem is with your account.

30-60GB per task! Times 8 on a 32t BOINC only machine surely adds up. I don't have disk space for that. Multiple people here went out and purchased larger hard drives just for this app. I try to put SSDs in machines and not something like a 1TB for a BOINC only PC.

Well, I guess I need to check that on my QM machine: Of course, 30-60 GB per task would indeed be a lot.

Still, I do not understand what exactly should be "oxymoron" in allowing Windows users to ADD to the existing Linux participant pool by simply employing a Virtualbox-based approach where the existing Linux client is wrapped in a virtual Linux machine. For you, nothing would change.

Using vbox is the opposite of being able to reach the majority of users. Projects with vbox only apps have a much lower participation rate compared to other BOINC projects.

I am running Linux Mint in an Oracle VirtualBox.

I have 108 GB of storage in the VB, but I keep getting the following message in Boinc:

Sat Feb 16 20:10:08 2019 | GPUGRID | Message from server: Quantum Chemistry needs 54846.23MB more disk space. You currently have 2374.23 MB available and it needs 57220.46 MB.

Is there any way to fix this?

Thanks!
