There are a few comments recently about whether VirtualBox 5.2 works or not with ATLAS. According to Laurence the BOINC community suggests 5.2.16 is a good version. Please let us know if you have issues with this version. |

Personally the 5.2.16 gives many unmanageable errors with ATLAS. The CMS, LHCb, Theory have no issues. The 5.1.38 works well for all tasks. I don't think others have computers that can run so many WU at once? |

Personally the 5.2.16 gives many unmanageable errors with ATLAS. I have started to upgrade machines (Win10 1803) to VB 5.2.16 and BOINC 7.12.1 and until now, this works fine. So far I haven't seen any unmanageable errors, Maybe it has something to do with my clients that are never allowed to use more than 75% of CPU-Power Did you upgrade BOINC too ? Supporting BOINC, a great concept ! |

Machine is running Windows 10 - 1803, VB 5.2.16 and BOINC 7.12.1. Tried running a 3-core ATLAS, 2-core Theory, and a 1-core LHCb tasks at the same time. The Stderr.txt for the ATLAS task had the following error message: 2018-08-09 12:57:11 (1988): Error creating VirtualBox instance! rc = 0x80004002 While the tasks were processing, the machine stopped running. When I restarted it, the Event Log had this message: 8/9/2018 3:41:13 PM | LHC@home | [error] no project URL in task state file Atlas task finished and validated, Theory and LHCb tasks are still running. Let me know if you need more information. |

Have upgraded Virtualbox from 5.2.8 to 5.2.16. Windows 10 pro (10.00.16299.00). Atlas-Task with Boinc 7.12.1 get Status unmanagable! After changing the priority from vboxsvc.exe from "normal" to "lower than normal" it is running. |

Yes, I did both, I allow 100% of CPU usage so it's likely to do with that? |

And I had to downgrade several installations of BOINC to 7.8.3, not regarding ATLAS, but because of problems with the Grafic-Card not running in additional Instances of BOINC, but VB 5.2.16 is still running fine Supporting BOINC, a great concept ! |

If you're looking for the latest VirtualBox 5.2 packages, see VirtualBox 5.2 builds. Please also use version 5.2 if you still need support for 32-bit hosts, as this has been discontinued in 6.0. Version 5.2 will remain supported until July 2020 |

May be off thread, but I'll try anyway! Virtual box kills some of my own software (intercepting TCP internet stream with Wireshark/Dumpcap). I want to either kill all the annoying messages telling me what I already know (VB not installed), OR configure VB so my own code will run. I would prefer the latter so's I can do more LHC stuff. 3rd choice is to abandon LHC. Any suggestions? regards, Bob. |
