I'm crunching both on Lhc@Home and here. Now i have 2 wu Theory Simulation 300.02 (vbox 64) and 4 Theory Simulation 5.18 (vbox 64). What are the differences? The 5.18 will sostitute the 300.02?? |

There is no difference, just a different numbering scheme. |

No, version 300.02 is the newest version. Most of the difference is inside the Virtual Machine. Inside it's now like the Theory native application for Linux. For the Theory VBox users, the biggest difference is the unpredictable run time of a task. The old version mostly ran several jobs inside the VM and stopped somewhere between 12 and 18 hours run time. The new version runs only 1 job inside the VM and that can take from a few minutes to several days (outliers.) You can watch the progress (when VBox extension pack is installed) with Show Console in BOINC Manager. There you can use function keys like ALT-F1 (process start and job description), ALT-F2 (progress), ALT-F1 (CPU- and memory-usage). |

OK, got it. I was not aware that the 5.18 was here. Thought it was the previous version on LHC@home. |

You can watch the progress (when VBox extension pack is installed) with Show Console in BOINC Manager. I have Extension Pack 6.0.12r133076 installed, but i cannot see these functions. |

I have Extension Pack 6.0.12r133076 installed, but i cannot see these functions.When you select a running VBox-task in BOINC Manager, on the left there appear some buttons in the Commands box. The 3rd button should display "Show VM Console". You can also use 'Remote Desktop' with the right port shown in VirtualBox Manager or the Show button in VirtualBox Manager (exit via menu Machine - Detach GUI). |

Correction: Where I wrote "ALT-F1 (CPU- and memory-usage)" should be ALT-F3 (CPU- and memory-usage). |
