I tried BOTH a straight download and install from the Oracle website AND registration with DKMS. the latest kernel update, 3.13.0.37 (??) applied and when reboot with new kernel, no errors messages, no desktop, wait forever, nothing happens. Just did it on this computer and used Synaptic Package Manager to REMOVE Virtual Box before reboot. | |

DKMS registration of 4.3.10 as that is the only version available. | |

How to do that?? No option on Nvidia manual install, and no option when installing the Ubuntu drivers. | |

DKMS when used is later installed, so I must make it FIRST after installation finishes. NVIDIA, I hope with the 340.24 driver I have will register and when 3.13.0.37 kernel comes, all will be well | |

Ubuntu installed again. | |

Will it work to manually install Nvidia drivers AGAIN after DKMS is installed?? This SHOULD register NVIDIA with DKMS so that when kernel updates BOTH get updated, and the system works correctly. | |

What seems to work is to sudo apt-get purge virtualbox* then reboot. sudo apt-get install virtualbox* Then vbox apps run cleanly. Without the * some apps will never run I have yet to get a kernel update to test this, but apps are running on two machines without issue | |

And at some point, Vbox stops talking to BOINC and the computer must reboot to get the tasks running again. | |

I can confirm. Vbox stopped talking to the ATLAS application and to get it restarted, Ubuntu had to reboot. | |

And at some point, Vbox stops talking to BOINC and the computer must reboot to get the tasks running again. I have tried to run Atlas@home using Windows 7 and that is what I experienced. Please note that these tasks should be run with hyper-threading not being enabled. After re-booting, the tasks would sometimes error out as well. Atlas@home has very intensive and demanding tasks being run using virtualization software, and IMHO running highly intensive and demanding applications using virtualization software is never a good idea as problems usually occur that does not end well. Others may disagree. | |

Opened the manager, but did NOT create a window. The window that SHOULD be there was not. At one point in the last two days, up to 5 ATLAS jobs were running at the same time | |

On the other machine, 4 Atlas jobs are running, but no window in Oracle Window manager | |
