Sprint 3: 07-Apr-2022 13:00 UTC - 10-Apr-2022 12:59 UTC Project Rosetta

Calling all TSBT members and friends of TSBT. We need all the help we can get on these sprints

We'll be keeping the Formula Boinc Sprint threads in this section of the forum from now on. No strategy talk here. Just banter.

We don't need strategy: We just need to all turn up!

The project is Rosetta! We need TSBT crunchers really, really bad. Join us on Rosetta!

God this project is a pain in the arse how you guys getting on with vbox ?

I'd rather prep for a colonoscopy instead of trying to get vbox WUs running

this is as fecked-up as i've ever known Rosetta to be ... and that's a fairly high bar

As the great philosopher already posted on their forum:

"Why am I even bothering to try and contribute to the solving of corona when everything keeps coming up with this problem?

The last batch that died like that only did so on Windows systems, but processed OK on LINUX. Looks like they fixed the problem with those Tasks so these new ones now fail on all systems.

How can you see the sprint scores? All I get is Python errors.

Are you using this link? https://formula-boinc.org/sprint_v2.py? ... n&sprint=3

Nope, I was using https://formula-boinc.org/sprint_v2.py? ... =&sprint=3, that you can reach by choosing the third challenge here

BTW: Thanks for your link!

rosetta is a very worthy project ! Great Job !

regards, Gregg Roman Granowski ...

more than 4M points ahead of 2nd place (across the 3 days)

For those who ran any of the vbox WUs, check the rosetta project folder on your system(s) and see if it left a 8GB virtualbox image. If you don't intend to run any more rosetta vbox WUs, delete the virtualbox files and reclaim that disk space. Also check the slots folder and delete any orphaned virtualbox files left over from aborted or failed vbox WUS. Again, another 8GB for each slot folder with leftover vbox WU files in it

Difference being that I had selected 'Nederlands' as language, which then turns into
formula-boinc.org/sprint_v2.py?year=2022&lang=&sprint=3, but gives
formula-boinc.org/sprint_v2.py?year=2022&lang=nl&sprint=3 as url, which also gives a Python error.
Choosing 'English' gives the proper results.
