cant install ubuntu on virtualbox 5.2 aborted

In my experience, after restarting the BOINC client, the results of such tasks are reported and new work units are downloaded and processed. Some tasks get the status 'Postponed: VM job unmanagable, restarting later.' and block a slot where another work unit could be processed. This is a good workaround for me, of course it would be better if this problem would be fixed.Ĥ. I have written a watchdog-script to abort such tasks as soon as possible. In Linux I haven't yet figured out how to check the described such tasks in the forum as ' 0 CPU-tasks'. When using Windows, I checked the VBox screen: in one case it was completely empty, in the other case it showed the error message I observed the problem using Linux and using Windows. These tasks run until they are manually aborted. The progress indicated in the BOINC manager asymptotically approaches 100%, but never reaches it. In my case, VirtualBox-tasks seem to start in the BOINC Manager (Status: 'Running'), when actually the VM that belongs to that task hangs while booting. I observed sort of a combination of both problems, but maybe it is something different altogether. Of course there are lots of other issues with VirtualBox tasks, like the disk space requirements and the volume of disk writes, which are not technically probelms, but do have a significant impact on the amount of processing available to the project.

This is not due to Virtualisation exensions being disabled as other VBox projects work fine.

I would guess this affects something like 20% of machines, including servers. Some machines cannot run Rosetta VirtualBox tasks due to the Intel MKL (Math Kernel Library) fatal error. The error on the Vbox screen is always the same, but might be misleading (Spectre error). My record that I've noticed is 4-days of CPU time. The % keeps climbing but they have to be aborted. I don't think there is a thread discussing this. This tends to happen in batches for me and happens on multiple machines.

They sit there at 0% and with no time used, but say 'Running' in BOINC Manager.

This isn't a thread to list the details of the issues - just to link to the wider discussions elsewhere:ġ. Hey everyone, I thought it would be a good idea to create a post listing the issues with the VirtualBox tasks, which can then be updated as/if they get fixed.
