Christian has updated RNA World's vbox wrapper such that you may now use the latest Virtual Box versions for all systems supported by our project. | |

Does this update handle the previous VM problem that kept BOINC from ever checking for VM support again on computers where such a check had previously failed? | |

Does this update handle the previous VM problem that kept BOINC from ever checking for VM support again on computers where such a check had previously failed? No it does not. The problem you describe is in the BOINC Client. One has to manually remove a certain XML tag from client_state.xml I think but I'm not sure. This needs to be fixed in the Client or Manager and there is a proposal but nobody implemented it yet. | |

Will the VBox wrapper update itself during trickle-up for my WU from before the change, or do I have to let this WU run its course before installing the new version of BOINC with VM? | |

Then you might get more users actually running your VM workunits by giving a detailed description of how to remove that XML tag manually, preferably mentioning saving a copy of the file before it is changed. | |

@ robertmiles @Silverdrake I tried such a search; it found 61200 items. I looked at the first 50 of them; none appear to say anything relevant to this problem. | |

Is this what you're looking for? Probably. I'll try it tomorrow. | |

Is this what you're looking for? I tried to do it, and found no sign that either of my computers running BOINC appear to have any file named client_config.xml . What directory should this file be in if it even exists? | |

Hmm... I'm thinking the correct file name is actually "client_state.xml" in your BOINC data directory. | |
