Virtualisation must be enabled in the BIOS. Grant. As discussed earlier I had already done that. However, on checking I discovered that "Hyper V" is not used in the BIOS description. Instead a search on "Hyper" revealed it is Hyper-Threading. I have now disabled that and all seems good. Several files apparently processed with no error. Thanks again for your assistance. Richard

4) Questions and Answers : Windows : Boinc demands VirtualBox (Message 106553) Posted 17 Jul 2022 by Richard James Post: Grant, thanks for your assistance, its now running and successfully u/l results that are verified. > You install BOINC with VirtualBox, and that installs VirtualBox. > Processing a Project's Task that requires Virtualbox, BOINC will download the necessary files, and it runs. OK, so the "VBox" that I created is redundant, will remove it. I see several rosetta boxes created. > If it doesn't run, and HyperV is not enabled, (oh, and Virtualisation must be enabled in the BIOS) OK, that was it. Turned Virtualization on and it runs. > then it's up to the user & Google to search on the Stderr output from the Task(s) in question to see what it might be, Unfortunately unless you know VBox, it is pretty unintelligible (see below). > Why VirtualBox thinks it didn't run. > VBoxManage.exe: error: VT-x is disabled in the BIOS for all CPU modes (VERR_VMX_MSR_ALL_VMX_DISABLED)[/quote] > Which could be because it's not enabled in the BIOS, or because HyperV is enabled, or because some 3rd party AV software blocks using Virtualisation, or a combination of all 3 (or possibly something else again).[/quote] That was it. IMO, the problem is that unless you are familiar with VBox, the lack of app-specific guidance makes it almost impossible to figure out. If projects want to use this method they really need concise and explicit documentation for users to encourage them to participate. I used SETI@home for a number of years. When it terminated, I chose Rosetta (and Folding@home). I've been using computers since 1969 (not a typo) but as a user, not setting up systems or anything other than some minor programming (Fortran, Unvac 1108 assembler/JCL). I m aware of what VM's are but have never had the need to use one. Thanks again for your help. Richard

Even if running just one project, no cache (or next to no cache is still best.) Generally 0.25 days and 0.01 additional days is more than good enough. Rosetta requires all work to be returned within 3 days. Changed to 0.25 days. >> However, I have done nothing (no instructions) to "install" Python or anything else in VB. >> Does the Rosetta file contain everything needed to run?[ > As long as you aren't running under Anonymous platform, Whatever that is??? >BOINC will get whatever files it needs in order to process work for any project you are attached too. Almost all the Python projects terminated within 30 sec with "Error while computing " But what is the error???? My original question was how to set up VBox/Python to run this, ie explicit instructions and links to all necessary files so I can see what I am doing. Thanks.
6) Questions and Answers : Windows : Boinc demands VirtualBox (Message 106533) Posted 13 Jul 2022 by Richard James Post: However VBox seems to want Python installed. Dennis, thanks for the quick response. >Yep. > Running Windows, HyperV must be disabled (in Add/Remove programmes) in order for VirtualBox to work. It is already off. >And since you did get a Python Task that errored out because VirtualBox couldn't setup the Virtual Machine, you'll probably need to go to your computer in your account, click on Details, and down near the bottom should be an option relating to Python Tasks. If the button says Allow (or something similar), click on it.[/quote] Yes. already done that and it has since d/l some python tasks. However, I have done nothing (no instructions) to "install" Python or anything else in VB. Does the Rosetta file contain everything needed to run? Looks like you are on the other side of the "Big Pond" to me... Richard, From an Island in the Pacific, Victoria, BC.
7) Questions and Answers : Windows : Boinc demands VirtualBox (Message 106521) Posted 12 Jul 2022 by Richard James Post: Trouble getting Python set up under Win 10 with VBox. I seem to have Vbox installed and "attached" to Rosetta. Rosetta is set to recognize Python and has d/l a couple of files but is still processing v4.2 files. However VBox seems to want Python installed. Where do I find explicit instructions to do this including links to any necessary files that do not require "compiling" or anything like that? Thanks.

8) Questions and Answers : Windows : Ransomware warnings (Message 94731) Posted 18 Apr 2020 by Richard James Post: So someone else's software is always a problem, is that what you are saying?When theirs is the only software making the claim, yes. But how is that known unless someone asks? What you are saying is "don't bother us". It's a shame you didn't bother reading the last line in my previous post. shrug Then why didn't you just say that (I did read it...). Of course, you could have said that in the first place. This sort of discussion just puts people off. EOT = don't bother to reply.

10) Questions and Answers : Windows : Ransomware warnings (Message 94721) Posted 18 Apr 2020 by Richard James Post: No, the Rosetta software is the problem. No, it's not. Software that says there is a problem, when there isn't, is faulty. Broken. Not working. So the producers of that software need to fix it. It's called a False positive, and it happens all too often when AV/Malware companies get sloppy. Unless you know 100% the issue is false bypassing the check is a risk. And since Rosetta isn't a problem, it's not a risk. So someone else's software is always a problem, is that what you are saying? Unless you, personally, know that Rosetta is absolutely safe, by testing and does not trigger any known tests then it needs to be confirmed. That is what should be happening with both parties. Bitdefender is aware of the issue, but what is the Rosetta project doing? The reason for posting the issue here is to advise Rosetta and other users of the issue.
11) Questions and Answers : Windows : Ransomware warnings (Message 94716) Posted 18 Apr 2020 by Richard James Post: Advise Bitdefender there is a problem with their software that they need to fix, and point them here to Rosetta's web site. Yes, there are 2 sides to the issue. Rosetta code appears to be ransomware. Bitdefender is doing it's job. Both sides need to know what is going on, so both have been advised. And both need to look at it. Allowing bypass of check is not a fix. It is when the check is the problem. No, the Rosetta software is the problem. Unless you know 100% the issue is false bypassing the check is a risk.
12) Questions and Answers : Windows : Ransomware warnings (Message 94693) Posted 17 Apr 2020 by Richard James Post: This morning I am getting repeated warnings from Bitdefender that rosetta is trying to install ransomware. So far files are are flagged as "recovered" (implying reset to prev versions). This appears to be an ongoing problem as previous msgs have noted it. A fix? Allowing bypass of check is not a fix. Thanks. Richard
