Bug Description
The BOINC client does not always successfully detect Virtualbox, though Virtualbox does start successfully each time.

To work around I changed the start sequence of the init script:
# mv 20boinc-client 80boinc-client
It would appear that boinc starts too early in the boot sequence.
$ cd /etc/rc2.d
$ ls S*

Please try this ppa and boinc 7.8.1, and let me know if the problem still occurs /launchpad. net/~costamagna gianfranco/ +archive/ ubuntu/ boinc/
