In your result:
VBoxManage.exe: error: Not in a hypervisor partition (HVP=0) (VERR_NEM_NOT_AVAILABLE).
VBoxManage.exe: error: AMD-V is disabled in the BIOS (or by the host OS) (VERR_SVM_DISABLED)

So, my machine is not supported... Right?

I just found - I have TWO BOINC_Data folders.
I was not accurate, when I upgraded BOINC several days ago.
Thank You very much for Your patience!

...is NOT a novice.

All of these years my hosts processed SixTrack only - hope, this explains all. ;-)
Hint1: examine your client_state.xml

Currently no idea, which statement is missing or incorrect there (between <project> </project>).
Hint2: Only a novice may save client_state.xml while the client is running.

Excellent hint. :oD
It doesn't work?

Not yet, unfortunately.
Did you examine your BOINC client log?

??? cc_config.xml not found - using defaults ???
This file is really missing.

Thank You very much again!
Yes, of course - XML always is a solution.
<demagogy>
But for advanced users only - at least ONE incorrect symbol in XML code is resulting from "this is just not working" to "this ruined all". Some time ago I had many hours of pain until I finally activated optimized apps for SETI and Einstein...
Also which percent of volunteers may be named as "advanced"?
</demagogy>
In THIS situation:
1. YOUR code is not working.
2. MY code is not working too:
<app_config>
    <app>
      <name>Theory Simulation</name>
      <max_concurrent>3</max_concurrent>
    </app>
    <app>
      <name>LHCb Simulation</name>
      <max_concurrent>1</max_concurrent>
    </app>
	<report_results_immediately/>
	</app_config>

Maybe, <name> is still incorrect?
Any ideas?

Thank You very much for so fast reply!

2. Max # of CPUs for this project - this means a limit for maximum of running tasks at the same time?

No.
It limits the number of CPU cores used by a multicore app.


Dear Project team!

As You can see, current definition may provoke misunderstandings.
Can You correct it (for example, Max # or CPUs for multicore applications)?
Or just add some explanation, what this statement means?

Also, some of LHC vbox applications are a significant abuse for "typical / standard" volunteer's PC used at home or at work.
Is it possible to add one more statement, which would allow to limit maximum of LHC tasks running at the same time?
Of course, this is not necessary at all for SixTrack...
But it necessary already for LHCb, which eats 2 GB of RAM pro task...

Dear colleagues!
Explain, please, some statements in LHC@home preferences.
1. Max # of jobs for this project - this means a limit for maximum of downloaded tasks at all (running + waiting to run + ready to start)?
2. Max # of CPUs for this project - this means a limit for maximum of running tasks at the same time?

Hi,
Thanks for this wonderful job of merging projects. That's a very good idea and an impressive work.

Just say the truth, are You trolling here?
Everyone (thousands of BOINC volunteers worldwide), who at least touched LHC@home, have now disturbed and damaged statistic...
This is not wonderful job, this is true pornography!
Sorry for brutal tone (I hope, nobody will be insulted personally)...

After this credit migration I got a new project (parasite project in reality) in my project list. The name of parasite-project is vLHCathome, of course, the credits are identical to LHC@home credits.
Something needs to be fixed on servers - I (and absolute majority of all users, IMHO) refuse such "gift".

Einstein@home uses minimum quorum 2, maximum tasks - 20...
Believe or not, by this extremely high reserve, rarely but sometimes several WUs are getting status "to many errors"... ;-)

Thank You, I know this problem.
And I have NOTHING against raised quorum - the project knows here better than all of us, which level of confidence is mandatory at the moment.
I just reported an another problem.
Eric, Thank You for fast reply. Happy Holiday!

Dear project Team!
You started new batch of WUs with:
1. minimum quorum - 3;
2. initial replication - 3;
3. max # of error/total/success tasks - also 3, 3, 3!!! or ZERO possible attempts, if at least 1 task in WU will end with computation error, download error, user abort etc.
So, just take a look to first results of this new "strategy"...
I observed my nearest host only:
- from 32 tasks 6 got status "Cancelled by server" or "Completed, can't validate";
- 20% WUs are lost;
- approx. 170 hours of CPU time is wasted (in 6 lost WUs)...
Is this simple mistake by changing server's configuration (still hope for this)?
Or is this Your new strategy? If so, I do not understand You...
