David: I noticed a checkin, 3 days ago, to some VirtualBox functionality, especially how it affects COM. If I'm reading it right, looks like it reads the log file now, and supposedly in an efficient manner.
I'd like to test this! Any way you could spin up a 26201 with a "Get Latest" that includes the changes? Note 1: I'll be unavailable next week, but could test before this Saturday, if timing works out. Note 2: Seems that, any problems I have, I'll have to talk to the LHC guys to resolve. I'm willing to do that. Let me know when I can try to break it!

I'd like your "go ahead", before I nudge RNA World to use it. Let me know.

I just concluded my testing of this "Release 3" 26200 version, and everything that I tested worked well. LHC VMs are able to resume in 5.2, and start new 5.2. RNA World VMs are able to resume in 5.2. And stderr.txt was using correct version numbering. May I recommend this version for Christian to consider using on RNA World? [I ask in case you are planning additional changes before deeming this version ready]. Let me know, Thanks, Jacob ________________________________ From: Rom Walton <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, November 5, 2017 9:30 PM To: David Anderson; Jacob Klein; Juha Sointusalo Cc: BOINC Developers Mailing List; Boinc Projects; BOINC Alpha Subject: RE: [boinc_dev] BOINC - October 2017 VirtualBox and VBoxWrapper updates version.h and version.h.in ----- Rom From: David Anderson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, November 5, 2017 6:08 PM To: Jacob Klein <[email protected]>; Juha Sointusalo <[email protected]> Cc: Rom Walton <[email protected]>; BOINC Developers Mailing List <[email protected]>; Boinc Projects <[email protected]>; BOINC Alpha <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [boinc_dev] BOINC - October 2017 VirtualBox and VBoxWrapper updates Rom, Where does that version # (7.9.26197.0) come from? -- D On 11/5/2017 5:08 PM, Jacob Klein wrote: David: I tested this "Release 2" version of the 26200 wrapper. We're very close. The good: - The crashes starting LHC tasks on 5.2, and crashes resuming RNA World tasks on 5.2, appear to be resolved. No more crashes. I suspect Release 1 had the stale tlb file. The bad - *2* issues: - The "File Version" of the exe is still incorrect, and is being written to stderr.txt. We need to fix this, so we can keep track of what version of the wrapper is being used at points in the log. - The x86 version will need rebuilt too, with the fixes. Once you get that "File Version" resolved, maybe consider doing another version bump to 26201, for reasons of sanity :) Then let me know when to retest it - I'm getting good at it.

There seems to be something wrong in the vboxwrapper David built. I can reproduce the problems with it. I re-built vboxwrapper myself, with VS2010 and VS2013 to see if it's something with VS version. Neither had problems with my test app. Now I have ATLAS and Theory task running with vboxwrapper built with VS2013 and the tasks seem to be working fine, or at least started fine. Jacob, here's something for you to test: https://drive.google.com/open?id=13naXH8_mPg3b4kVrvRLPUfw2yY6cGnaW . Version numbers are off, don't worry about them. -Juha _______________________________________________ boinc_alpha mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_alpha To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address. _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
