Message 28044 - Posted: 2 Dec 2016, 18:48:12 UTC

I keep getting messages that VM virtual box is not installed. I read on here that happens on linux operating systems but my os is windows 10. It way be because I also run programs in boinc from world community Grid. On one computer I have reinstalled boinc with the VM software and didn't connect to the world community grid. Since then I have not received any more notices on that computer that my VM virtual box was not installed. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

If you only want to run the SixTrack application on LHC@home, you don't have to install VirtualBox and may ignore the message "Message from server: VirtualBox is not installed".

Please read the forum thread: https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/forum_thread.php?id=4031

I have not installed Virtual Box because it interferes with an internet scraping tool (DumpCap). PLEASE stop sending me messages to inform me that it is not installed! I only process SixTrack jobs.

Sorry if these messages annoy you, Bob but unfortunately it's a Boinc thing and not something the project can resolve themselves.

No solution here! If I am still receiving these most annoying messages (You have a new message - NO I *&^%$ DON'T!!!!!) in the new year I will dump LHC. Simples.

The message header suggests that it comes from LHC@home server, not BOINC
