Tried everything, still doesn't work, and I gave up.

Hope LHC@Home will migrate to container mode which will make these configurations a lot easier.

Hyper-V/WSL disabled, Intel VT-X enabled, VirtualBox install, web page is showing "CPU does not have hardware virtualization support".

I can power on a VM manually with the VirtualBox.

What did I miss?

WSL is on Hyper-V, so it's not compatible with VirtualBox. I am curious if LHC@Home plans to migrate to Docker with WSL to make setup easier.

Any idea about what went wrong? Multiple INFO log entries but not sure what was the true cause.

Is it a bug of the application? Another person also error out while computing:

Any idea how to fix it?

Weirdly, I didn't turn off hardware virtualization, and my Virtualbox and WSL2 are working fine when I created VMs for other purposes. Nevermind, it seems to be Hyper-V issue.

I got VirtualBox and BOINC client installed on my Windows 11, and then I attached the LHC@home project.
What next? Are there any guidelines for setting up the project?

I generally never received WUs from LHC@home but another BOINC project works fine.

I got some cloud VMs and want to contribute to the project, but the native applications always fail, and I couldn't fix it. I am wondering how can I setup VirtualBox with LHC. I did simply `sudo apt install virtualbox -y`, is that all?
