1) The user in https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=81941 installed VirtualBox after he got a Notice about that (???) in BOINC Manager, the installation of VirtualBox changed the permission of BOINC's data directory, he was not allowed to open or use it again. He could not install BOINC using the same directories because the installer told him he didn't have permission to use the data directory anymore.
In the end he made a new data directory, that worked. 2) A user in https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=11859&postid=81419 reported that the VirtualBox from within BOINC 7.8.2 did not set his firewall permissions on his Vista PC. 3) Another user in https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=11858 reported that since he installed 7.8.2 with VirtualBox, that none of his projects ran anymore. Installing BOINC 7.8.2 without VirtualBox got things going again, but for that he couldn't use VBox now. (although this could be because of an older version, 5.0.18 installed. We **do** ship 5.1.26 with BOINC, don't we?) -- Jord van der Elst. _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list boinc_dev@ssl.berkeley.edu https://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
