I noticed a little while ago that I'm getting compute error failures on most of the rosetta units my two machines are trying to run. The machines are quite different, one is a laptop on Win10 and the other a desktop on Win7. Is something going on with the work units themselves? I looked at several of the failed units and they all appear to be "access violations". I can't think of much these two machines have in common that would produce the same error on both. Other Boinc projects are running OK.

There is a bug in BOINC 7.8.2 and the current version of Rosetta doesn't handle it well and the tasks crash.

You need to downgrade back to 7.6.33 until a new BOINC version is available.

I have recently joined Rosetta and I am also getting the same error. so far I have 46 valid tasks and 14 in error, almost a third.

SETI on the other hand has 163 valid tasks and 0 in error.

Just wondering if anybody has seen the errors go away by going back to the previous version of BOINC?

Also does VirtualBox has to be rolled back as well?

Seems to vary by machine - on the laptop every task was failing, but on my desktop it was intermittent, some would work. I rolled back to Boinc 7.6.33 and the errors appear to have gone away now. Rosetta isn't using virtualbox as far as I know.

OK, thanks! I'll give roll back a shot.
