If only it put logs to stderr.txt, instead of being silent.

I am getting lots of computation errors.
For some reason tasks finish with exit code 0 but are still reported as failed.
Boinc client 8.3.0 still uploads the result file. I hope it can be analyzed.

To switch to virtualbox you have to set hypervisorlaunchtype Off with bcdedit.
I have copied boot entry, renamed to "Windows 11 hyper-v" and set it to "hypervisorlaunchtype Auto", so i can choose between these options during windows start.
12) Message boards : General Discussion : Problem with registration process.
Message 8778
Posted 25 Apr 2025 by kotenok2000
There is a problem with LHCathome-dev registration process.
Join button in upper corner of the page does not display Terms and conditions, and consequently fails registration as seen on the screenshot.
https://lhcathomedev.cern.ch/lhcathome-dev/signup.php
Registration works if "Create account" https://lhcathomedev.cern.ch/lhcathome-dev/create_account_form.php?next_url= button is used at https://lhcathomedev.cern.ch/lhcathome-dev/login_form.php , but it isn't obvious and serves as an unnecessary obstruction.

How can i install cvmfs in boinc-buda-runner so it is used instead?
