Good luck. Rosetta has more Python work right now and they lowered the requirements.
My 8 GB RAM laptop just got 5 tasks when it previously received none.

You are right! BOINC Manager/Properties shows:

Virtual memory size 2,881.82 MB
Working set size 2,861.02 MB

Someone got the message.

Do they have any non-Python work? None of my systems are powerful enough to run Python.

indeed. We've had no work units for several weeks now. I've switched to World Community Grid and Einstein in the interim. I thought that the project had ended, put no one had said anything.

4.2 plain jane Rosetta is hit and miss. (Mostly miss)
You can leave your system attached and maybe you will get lucky to get some when they drop in new batches.
Otherwise take your pick of projects. SiDock or WCG are options in Protein folding.
Outside of that...up to you.

4.2 is a hit and miss adventure now.
Most of the work is staying internal on their AI Neural network.
Python, I don't know if they have explained what that does or not, but you need Virtualbox to run that.

Has anything changed with Rosetta tasks?

I now have two Rosetta tasks which are likely to take 17-18 hours.

I uninstalled Virtual Box and Folding@Home.

OOps. Looks like they're Python tasks. Maybe not suitable for my computer. I my abort them.

If you no longer have VB installed but still have Python tasks in the queue, you should definitely cancel them.

Thanks. Yes. I did that and checked No New Tasks. Virtual Box and Folding made my computer impossibly slow and sometimes locked it up.

Guess this machine is not sufficiently advanced for those.

So I may suspend Rosetta indefinitely, unless they come up with some non-Python tasks.

If you uninstalled VB, you will only receive the standard Rosetta 4.20 tasks whenever they are available and provided your computer asks for work from Rosetta@home.

So how can I specify only standard Rosetta 4.20 tasks and ask Rosetta@Home for that type of work?

Usually, I just hit Update, which shows as a request in the event log.

Like I said, no Vbox = Rosetta 4.20 only. You don't need to do anything else.

If there is Rosetta 4.20 work, you'll get it.

If you goto this page (your account) https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/show_host_detail.php?hostid=3551508 you should see a button at the bottom that allows you to accept or reject python tasks.
It is your computer details page that has this.

Not quite accurate. RAH will attempt to send you Python tasks until one of two things happen.

1) Your system gets blacklisted by the Python scheduler because you return to many errors, because you do not have Vbox
or
2) You disable your profile from getting Vbox tasks as explained in other threads.

With all the small queues of 4.2 tasks it may not be worth staying attached to this project for now.

No, if you don't have Vbox installed, you don't get Vbox tasks. I know because that's what happens on devices where I have not installed Virtualbox.
Also, if VirtualBox isn't installed, the skip/allow option is not available at the details page.

That isn't the details page for your Rosetta account, that is the details page for the Applications on your computer.

No, if you don't have Vbox installed, you don't get Vbox tasks. I know because that's what happens on devices where I have not installed Virtualbox.
Also, if VirtualBox isn't installed, the skip/allow option is not available at the details page.

But how does it know? To me it sounded like a default set up.

I gave up with Python tasks after a few were taking a few days to finish the last ~0.001% of the WU!

Any idea what that's about?

If you had checked their CPU time, it would likely have been just a few minutes.

I don't know if there is a solution.

I had one hang on me last night.
I checked with BOINC tasks and saw a cpu usage of .18% which is really odd and then I checked CPU time (45 seconds) against an hours long run time. So I just aborted it.

What all does your computer do for BOINC or other stuff? I see WCG.
You have 12 cores and how much memory? Every Python takes 7629.38 MB of RAM
Do you run FAH as well? If so how man cores and what strength?

You may need to tweak your demands on your system depending on what you run and what you do with your system.

Since you do not have any completed or errored tasks to look at, there is no way to tell whats going on.

There is a command that I just learned by another person that allows you to limit the number of python tasks running on your system, that may also help you get stuff completed faster.

Your processor is not all that different from mine. Speeds are the same. OC is the same. You just have 4 "cores" less than me. 12 vs 16.

Your system runs how many hours a day?
I run around 14-16 a day.
