I updated to v7.8.2 with VirtualBox but none of my projects ran (time did not increment). I reverted to v7.6.33 (no problems running projects) but nothing runs also.

Running Win10 Pro CU 64bit with latest updates.

Projects:
Seti@Home
LHC@Home
pogs
ClimatePrediction
Asteroids@Home
Einstein@Home
etc.

Any ideas? Never had this problem before.

Can you post the start-log plus some lines showing that it's really not doing anything?
Have you checked the Activity menu that it's set to anything but suspended?
Have you checked that your projects and/or tasks aren't suspended?

I've had one report where a user updated to the new version with VirtualBox which changed the permission on his data directory so much that he couldn't run BOINC from it anymore. Can you check the permissions on the data directory?

---

I'll try uninstalling 7.8.2 w/VirtualBox and reinstalling just 7.8.2 to see if that does anything.

I checked the permissions and all seem OK. Is there a particular permission that needs to be set. By the way,
during installation, it takes the BOINC installer about 12 minutes to set permissions. Is this normal?

How/where are the options to get the startup logs?

Thanks.

BOINC log: SHIFT+CTRL+E

??

Aren't those selections made so BOINC doesn't do any processing while I'm using the PC (Word, games, etc)? So it only runs during idle time?

Yes, but isn't that then what you meant? I can't see further down the log what happens. Then you'll have to wait until it's past your idle time and post the log from there.

---

Things are running again after the install of 7.8.2 without VirtualBox. Didn't change any parameters from original
preferences, so it looks like VB is at fault.

Any way to install VB separately, rather than in the BOINC bundle?

BOINC doesn't make VirtualBox, you can always download the newest version of that program from its maker's website: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

---

By the way, I see something in your log.
9/18/2017 2:52:32 PM | | VirtualBox version: 5.0.18

You run Windows 10, so you really always need the newest version of VBox for it to work. The BOINC 7.8.2 installer had 5.1.26 on board, not 5.0.18, so how come you have that version installed? Did you not allow for a newer version to install?

---

I installed 7.8.2 with (supposedly) the new VirtualBox. That was when the problems started. I just installed 7.8.2 only and things are fine.

Here's a copy of the log after 'running' for a while and immediately after logging back on to the PC:

You still run:

9/18/2017 2:52:32 PM | | VirtualBox version: 5.0.18

Can you go to the VirtualBox website and download, then install their newest version for Windows? I think it's 5.1.28
After having installed it, exit & restart BOINC. Check that it says you have 5.1.28 installed, not 5.0.18

---

I just noticed that the BOINC manager download site has BOINC 7.8.2 with VirtualBox 5.1.26 while the VirtualBox site has v5.1.28.

What's up with this?

BOINC can only release a new version once every so much time. We do not develop VirtualBox, all we do is add a bit of helpfulness and release a new client with the then newest version of VirtualBox included. VirtualBox will continue to develop and release their own versions after that. Hence why three weeks ago it was 5.1.26 - which got added to that one installer, and now it's at 5.1.28

To add that version to a BOINC installer is quite a laborious. To add a new version every time VirtualBox releases a new version of their software is undoable.

---

I also noticed that my BOINC manager is using web based computing preferences from gpugrid.net (Options/Computing Prefs). I do not have that project in my list
(although I once had the project).

How can I change this - I have no options?

You can go to Options->Computing preferences and set the preferences there. That will override any of the same preferences that a project set, or you go to your account in any of your projects, select the computational preferences (usually the first option of the Preferences section) and changes those, then save them to the web site. At a next contact with that project those preferences will be used.

But in essence, if nothing changed over time, it doesn't matter where those preferences come from. BOINC will continue to use the preferences, even if the project they came from doesn't exist anymore.

---

Virtualbox .28 just released very recently. You can configure Virtualbox in its settings to notify you when there is a new version.

Also, Virtualbox won't install if anything is using it. I discovered that my web browser was stopping installation, although I had just a series of 4 digit numbers instead of listing the name of the web browser. Even if BOINC isn't currently running any Vbox tasks, it will stop the installation.


7.8.2 is having issues with some things so you may want to stick with 7.6.33 until they release a patched version. You can hop on the Alpha list if you want to read lots of boring stuff about how BOINC is operating or not... ;)
