I'm a Ubuntu 18 user and a few weeks ago, i've upgraded Boinc to the latest version (from 7.16 to 7.18.1). And since then all wu using virtualbox are crashing. Here is an example : https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/result.php?resultid=342677590 Running this command sudo -u boinc VBoxManage -q list systemproperties gives me the following result : VBoxManage: error: Failed to initialize COM because the global settings directory '/home/bigcheaf/.config/VirtualBox' is not accessible! So it seems to be a permissions issue. I've checked and here is the summary of the situation : VirtualBox folder : owner = bigcheaf, group = bigcheaf, permisions = drwxrwx--- "boinc" user belongs to the "bigcheaf" and "vboxusers" groups Finally, this command : sudo -u boinc namei -l /home/bigcheaf/.config/VirtualBox results in : f: /home/bigcheaf/.config/VirtualBox drwxr-xr-x root root / drwxr-xr-x root root home drwxrwxr-x bigcheaf bigcheaf bigcheaf drwxrwx--- bigcheaf bigcheaf .config VirtualBox — fichier ou répertoire inexistant I can't figure out where the problem is and how to fix it. If anyone would like to help me... |

VirtualBox — fichier ou répertoire inexistant There is no virtualbox directory in there, create one. |

There is a Virtualbox directory : sudo -u bigcheaf namei -l /home/bigcheaf/.config/VirtualBox f: /home/bigcheaf/.config/VirtualBox drwxr-xr-x root root / drwxr-xr-x root root home drwxrwxr-x bigcheaf bigcheaf bigcheaf drwxrwx--- bigcheaf bigcheaf .config drwxrwx--- bigcheaf bigcheaf VirtualBox But the "boinc" user have no permissions on it. |
