However, there is the following message from the LHC@home server: VirtualBox is not installed Samstag, 27. April 2024 um 01:14:14 Is this the reason for no LHC number crunching on my computer? What is VirtualBox and what do I need to amend the situation? Regards, Gunnar ID: 50052 · Reply Quote

The majority of work at LHC project utilizes VirtualBox to run work, you can install VBox from there site https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads The reason to use Virtualisation is to make it easier for the scientists to create work since they use internally at CERN. If you don't want then you can run the SixTrac work but this is not so frequently distributed, as you have seen. ID: 50053 · Reply Quote
