M$ Windoze 10 wants to have me remove VirtualBox before W10 does an update, because VB is "incompatible" with W10.

Is anyone else getting this?
Can I just ignore W10's bleating?
Can I get around the bleating?

What do people suggest I do?
I like to keep W10 up-to-date.

Thanks,
Peter

Richard,

That makes perfect sense.

Let me guess that these can those be piped:
> sudo systemctl stop boinc-client | systemctl disable boinc-client
> etc
> sudo systemctl enable boinc-client | systemctl start boinc-client

Well, not so much. :-)
I just tried and it's not so good together.

So, I'll write out your suggestion into my "day book" for this system, with a big bar along the side and the page dog-eared so I can find it so easily.

Thanks,
Peter

EUREKA!
I was forced, for other reasons, to do a full "button" reboot.

And....
BOINC IS WORKING!

So, if all else fails, use the Index Finger and see what happens.

Yes to first four, so far as I can tell.

Kusho, I agree. I did all those things, and still get the same error.

[quote]Can you remember if the gui_rpc_auth.cfg file was empty after you reinstalled the BOINC application? Or did it have some random password letters in it?

[quote]Also, please verify what version of BOINC you are retrieving from the Ubuntu Groovy Gorilla repository?

I have the IDENTICAL problem, and had already done much of the advice in this thread before I found it.
I, too, have done ALL the advice here. Yes, I added my username to the group boinc.
My gui_rpc_auth.cfg has a password of my making, that I generated in Text Editor, cd /var/lib/boinc, sudo rm the file, cd back to where the new file was held (Desktop), then sudo cp to the folder.
The file icon in the folder has a small X in the lower right corner.
My BOINC Client and Manager are "7.16.15+dfsg.is.7.16.11.dfsg-1".

This appears to be a "system" issue for BOINC sys-admins to negotiate with Ubuntu.

Regards,
Peter

Another null message; please ignore.
Why can't I delete it myself?

I installed it through the Ubuntu Software Manager. It says it's "boinc-manager 7.2.42+dfsg-1" currently installed.

The nagging is this 'new update available' window that keeps appearing with the 2.3MB (total) download I described above -- those are the components in the download.

Heavy sigh....

:-)

Hi, I have Boinc 7.2.42 running on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on an old-ish laptop.

I am getting nagged to install a specific update, containing:
BOINC Manager 1.2MB
Central cgroup manager daemon 30kB
Core client for the BOINC distributed ... 459kB
Libraries of BOINC the client depends on 354kB
plus
Ubuntu Base
XLS stylesheets for the yelp help brow... 226kB

I have tried installing several times, and each time been told there are untrusted packages to be installed. Okay....

But then it just keeps coming back; the same update package to install.

Is there something I don't understand?
Should I blow away my BOINC installation and go with a fresh installation?

Thanks,
Peter
long-term BOINCer
