Maybe the hypervisor log will tell us what is up with the virtual floppy device. - VBOX: Don't retry commands that are expected to fail in normal use cases. It slows down getting the VM up and running. - VBOX: After starting the VM, use a timed loop waiting for the initial VM state change instead of just waiting for 5 seconds. Older machines can take longer than 5 seconds to switch from poweroff to starting. If we hit the main poll loop in that state the wrapper thinks we have crashed. - VBOX: Strip carriage returns from all the vboxmanage output on Windows. samples/vboxwrapper/ vbox.cpp, .h vboxwrapper.cpp David 2 Jan 2012 - client: compute projects' disk share (based on resource share). Report it (along with disk usage) in scheduler request messages. This will allow the scheduler to send file-delete commands if the project is using more than its share. - client: add log flag - create_work: add --help, show --command_line option tools/ create_work.cpp html/ inc/ util.inc user/ sandbox.php lib/ cc_config.cpp,h client/ client_types.h client_state.h cs_prefs.cpp cs_scheduler.cpp cpu_sched.cpp David 2 Jan 2012 - upgrade script: - prompt user for DB user/passwd if DB updates needed - error out immediately if any DB update fails Fixes #1169, #1170 - create_work: check for duplicate s in input template NOTE: the input template syntax is pretty clunky tools/ process_input_template.cpp html/ ops/ upgrade_db.php inc/ util_ops.inc Rom 2 Jan 2012 - VBOX: Fix crashing issue I introduced last night attempting to extract the hypervisor system log. - VBOX: Report the hypervisor system log with any failed vboxmanage command that happens during the phase where we setup the VM. samples/vboxwrapper/ vbox.cpp, .h David 3 Jan 2012 - remote job submission: show input file links - ops: fix message: app.min_version applies to HR app versions, not client version html/ ops/ manage_apps.php user/ submit.php sandbox.php David 3 Jan 2012 - LAMMPS html/user/ lammps.php David 3 Jan 2012 - client: calculate disk share for zero-priority projects correctly client/ cs_prefs.cpp Rom 3 Jan 2012 - client: Remove scaling factor for AMD OpenCL devices. Latest generation of drivers now report the correct memory size. They didn't wait for the next OpenCL spec change. client/ coproc_detect.cpp Rom 3 Jan 2012 - VBOX: Per tester feedback, at an hourly status report to track network usage. - VBOX: For errors where an error code is specified in the output, use that value when returning from vbm_open(). Make it easier to track failure rates by problem type in the ops pages. (Windows Only) - VBOX: Try making the process of extracting the hypervisor system log more robust, make a temp copy of it in the slot directory. Avoid exclusive file lock issues since VboxSvc will still be logging to it. - VBOX: Change the session lock text to make it clearer that the use of other VirtualBox management tools can cause a problem. samples/vboxwrapper/ vbox.cpp, .h vboxwrapper.cpp Rom 3 Jan 2012 - VBOX: Restore the elapsed time from the checkpoint file instead of aid.starting_elapsed_time. It appears some older client versions are giving erratic results. samples/vboxwrapper/ vboxwrapper.cpp Rom 4 Jan 2012 - VBOX: Use strtol instead of atol to parse Vbox error codes from stderr/stdout output. - VBOX: Undo my reorg yesterday with regards to report_vm_pid and report_net_usage. - VBOX: Only report network usage in the status report if aid.global_prefs.daily_xfer_limit_mb is non-zero - VBOX: Add the VM log to the list of things reported on a start failure. Hypervisor log suggests that it launched the VM but it failed unexpectedly. So there might be cases where it actually exists. samples/vboxwrapper/ vbox.cpp, .h vboxwrapper.cpp Rom 4 Jan 2012 - VBOX: Move start state change detection code from run() function to start() function and use similar code to handle stop as well. Weird stuff happens when people start/stop BOINC quickly, it looks as though the previous VM instance isn't shutdown before we attempt to start it again. Hopefully enough of a wait is in there for the VM to fully halt before the wrapper is terminated. samples/vboxwrapper/ vbox.cpp Rom 4 Jan 2012 - VBOX: Fix a crash bug if multiple virtual NICs are defined for a VM. I'm not sure what the heck happened. It probably has something to do with my \r removal code on Windows. Bugs hidden by other bugs I suppose. samples/vboxwrapper/ vbox.cpp Rom 5 Jan 2012 - VBOX: Extract the various logs before attempting to cleanup if the registration process fails. samples/vboxwrapper/ vboxwrapper.cpp David 5 Jan 2012 - GUI RPC: use new XML parser lib/ gui_rpc_client_ops.cpp Charlie 5 Jan 2012 - client: Restore scaling factor for AMD OpenCL devices on Macs with OpenCL version < 1.2. client/ coproc_detect.cpp Charlie 6 Jan 2012 - Mac Installer: Changes for integrated BOINC+VirtualBox Mac installer. clientgui/ mac/ SetVersion.cpp mac_installer/ Description.plist Installer.cpp release_boinc.sh Rom 6 Jan 2012 - MGR: Remove sash window divider between the task panel and list panel in the advanced view.

TODO: cheat-proofing sched/ validator.cpp html/user/ forum_thread.php Rom 6 Jan 2012 - MGR: Derive from the correct base class to make the sizers work properly. clientgui/ BOINCBaseView.cpp, .h ViewNotices.cpp ViewResources.cpp Rom 7 Jan 2012 - VBOX: Sleep for the remainder of the polling period and not the whole poll period. samples/vboxwrapper/ vbox.cpp, .h vboxwrapper.cpp, .h David 7 Jan 2012 - scheduler: change vbox_mt app plan function to use 1, 2 or 3 CPUs depending on how many the host has, and whether CPU VM extensions are present (this reflects the requirements of CernVM). db/ boinc_db.h sched/ sched_types.h sched_customize.cpp validator.cpp Rom 8 Jan 2012 - VBOX: Fix regression where the ERR_CPU_VM_EXTENSIONS_DISABLED error message wasn't being written to stderr when the VM extensions were disabled via the BIOS. samples/vboxwrapper/ vboxwrapper.cpp David 8 Jan 2012 - scheduler: change vbox_mt plan function to use at most 2 cores, not 3 (CERN doesn't actually need 3) sched/ sched_customize.cpp David 8 Jan 2012 - client: reset ACTIVE_TASK::bytes_sent and bytes_received when the task is started or restarted client/ app_start.cpp Charlie 9 Jan 2012 - client: OpenCL 1.1 has no API for determining available GPU RAM, so if CAL is not present for ATI / AMD GPU or if CUDA is not present for NVIDIA GPU, set available GPU RAM equal to total GPU RAM. client/ coproc_detect.cpp Rom 9 Jan 2012 - VBOX: Fix one last regression related to failed start detection. If only one CPU is allocated, manually disable VM hardware acceleration. samples/vboxwrapper/ vbox.cpp David 9 Jan 2012 - scheduler: the p_fpops value reported by clients can't be trusted. Some credit cheats (e.g. with credit_by_runtime) can be done by reporting a huge value. Fix this by capping the value at 1.1 times the 95th percentile of host.p_fpops, taken over active hosts. db/ boinc_db.cpp,h sched/ census.cpp sched_types.cpp,h sched_shmem.cpp,h sched_util.cpp,h sched_customize.cpp feeder.cpp sched_version.cpp hr_info.cpp,h Charlie 10 Jan 2012 - client: Fix idle detection for Apple Remote Desktop and screen sharing (VNC) under Mac OS 10.7.

If absent or zero, assign a port. samples/vboxwrapper vbox.cpp,h floppyio.cpp,h vboxwrapper.cpp David 11 Jan 2012 - API: respect direct_process_action even if multi_process is set api/ boinc_api.cpp David 12 Jan 2012 - LAMMPS job submission: improve completion estimate html/ inc/ boinc_db.inc user/ lammps.php Rom 12 Jan 2012 - VBOX: Enable remote desktop functionality for a VM that has specified in its vbox_job.xml file. NOTE: It does require the VirtualBox extension pack, but that is freely available on the VirtualBox download page. samples/vboxwrapper vbox.cpp, .h vboxwrapper.cpp, .h Rom 12 Jan 2012 - VBOX: Report the remote desktop connection information to the core client. Next commit will create an extra "VM Console" button in the manager when detected. Volunteers will just have to click the button to see what is going on with the VM. api/ boinc_api.cpp, .h samples/vboxwrapper vbox.cpp, .h vboxwrapper.cpp, .h Rom 12 Jan 2012 - client: Add plumbing to support passing the remote desktop connection information to the manager - MGR: Add a "Show VM Console" button for those tasks which report a remote desktop port number. client/ app.cpp, .h app_control.cpp clientgui/ Events.h MainDocument.cpp, .h ViewWork.cpp, .h lib/ gui_rpc_client.h gui_rpc_client_ops.cpp Rom 12 Jan 2012 - VBOX: Make sure the configured port numbers persist across restarts of the client software. Remote desktop stopped working if the client software was restarted. samples/vboxwrapper vboxwrapper.cpp Charlie 13 Jan 2012 - client: Due to my changes of 10 Jan 2012, idle detection did not work when BOINC was run as a pre-login daemon. So use the old method when running as a daemon. This means that idle detection for Apple Remote Desktop and screen sharing (VNC) under Mac OS 10.7 works only when not running BOINC as a daemon. client/ hostinfo_unix.cpp Rom 13 Jan 2012 - VBOX: Cleanup a few messages stating port numbers in the stderr spew. - VBOX: Send configuration settings in one message instead of piece meal. api/ boinc_api.cpp, .h samples/vboxwrapper vboxwrapper.cpp Rom 13 Jan 2012 - VBOX: It helps to remove the older send msg routines. Oooops. samples/vboxwrapper vboxwrapper.cpp David 13 Jan 2012 - API: fix queueing problem for graphics-related messages (web graphics URL and remote desktop addr) - GUI RPC and API: change "remote_desktop_connection" to "remote_desktop_addr" everywhere. It's an address, not a connection. - vboxwrapper: log message cleanup api/ boinc_api.cpp,h client/ app.cpp,h app_control.cpp lib/ gui_rpc_client_ops.cpp gui_rpc_client.h app_ipc.cpp,h samples/ vboxwrapper.cpp Rom 13 Jan 2012 - MGR: Add RDP client support for Linux. clientgui/ MainDocument.cpp David 13 Jan 2012 - file deleter: improved logging; from Oliver sched/ file_deleter.cpp Rom 13 Jan 2012 - MGR: Launch the RDP client on Windows in full-screen mode to avoid a bug where the screen doesn't refresh and keyboard/mouse events don't manifest until you close down the client and restart it. clientgui/ MainDocument.cpp Charlie 13 Jan 2012 - MGR: Add RDP client support for the Mac. I have found no reliable way to pass the IP address and port to Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection application for the Mac, so I'm using CoRD. Unfortunately, CoRD does not seem to be as reliable as I would like either. clientgui/ MainDocument.cpp Rom 13 Jan 2012 NOTE: Some previously experimental features in the client software are now important to have for the 7.0 release. The existing 7.0 branch will no longer be maintained, we'll create a new branch for the 7.0 client line at a later date. - Tag for 7.0.8 release, all platforms boinc_core_release_7_0_8 / configure.ac version.h David 13 Jan 2012 - The zip library was moved to a directory (project_depends) outside of BOINC, but the build files weren't made to work.
