This new version of the CMS app now supports the multimode attach feature. This means that the image is no longer copied to the slot directory with each new job. Let us know if there are any issues.

Thanks. It looks like it is the systemd config file issue.

I am running Ubuntu 22.04 with boinc v7.18.1 and virtualbox v6.1.32, all installed using the standard Ubuntu repositories.

The following error is provided in stderr.txt

VBoxManage: error: Failed to create the VirtualBox object!
VBoxManage: error: Code NS_ERROR_SOCKET_FAIL (0xC1F30200) - IPC daemon socket error (extended info not available)
VBoxManage: error: Most likely, the VirtualBox COM server is not running or failed to start.


Has anyone else seen this error or has the same setup working?

There was a firewall issue. Tightening up the rules went a bit far. Some of the rules were reverted and how everything should be fine.

A new version of the CMS application v60.00 is now available. This version provides an updated VM image. In addition the Windows version also has an updated version of the vboxwrapper provided from the BOINC website rather than our own custom built version.

Posted 12 Apr 2021 by Profile Laurence
Post:
I am not qualified to offer any legal opinion, however since the license change, the LHC@home project no longer recommends or requires the installation of the extension pack. The decision to install it depends on your understanding of the license and your own personal circumstances.

Just to confirm CP's message, the VirtualBox extension pack is not required to run the payloads.

First of all I have edited the title. I understand the complaint but please don't do the same thing that is being complained about.

As far as I understand LHC@home uses BOINC-wide teams so this is a BOINC-wide issue. The following page which may or may not be outdated says to contact David Anderson directly regarding disputes over team names, so I would suggest that the complaint is raised directly with him. I have sent a polite message to the team founder who I hope will change the name. I will also be raising this at the next BOINC phone conference to understand the procedure in more detail.

Posted 25 May 2020 by Profile Laurence
Post:
From the host details page, is looks like virtualization is detected. I think the issue is how it reports the platform.

x86_64-pc-freebsd vs x86_64-pc-linux-gnu

I have added a new platform for the Theory app. Please let me know if that works for you.
