Perhaps the project is out of work. Always best ask these questions on their forums, or check if there are actually 'tasks ready to send' at their server status page. Currently there are none.


While I used a specific example in my post, my real question is a general one: what is the order of events that one might expect to happen with the VirtualBox + BOINC combination? I could not find ANYWHERE an outline of what to expect. So this forum seemed an appropriate one to post my question. Are you suggesting that it all happens the same way as the BOINC only option, transparently with a virtual machine being installed automatically in VirtualBox? I started VirtualBox and now after 60 hours there is nothing there. Is the virtual machine THE work unit or are the work units additional to the VM? If they are separate the VM should appear separately even if a work unit in not available. Please show me what forum or article explains the expected process.

I'm puzzled. Nothing is happening. I have followed the instructions but after 24 hours since adding climateathome project to BOINC there is nothing in Virtual Box. What is supposed to happen?
