Error messages with new BCE install on Mavericks

I get these errors when I run the BCE image in Virtual Box.  So far, in my extremely limited usage, it hasn't caused problems, but I'm not sure what the errors mean, and Aaron asked me to post this here.

Thanks for the report. These messages, which we (the BCE builders) have tried to suppress, are telling you that your Mac's mouse and keyboard are working as you'd expect them to work in VirtualBox and are not errors (though they look like errors).

There are two hieroglyphic buttons to the right of each of these messages: one looks like an "x" in a circle and one looks like a slash going through a speech balloon. If you do not want to see these messages again, click their speech balloons.

Thanks!  Will do.

Hi Robin- If you experience the trouble we saw this afternoon, please try to capture a screenshot if you see any new error messages beyond what you captured in this post so far.

Hi Ryan- Thanks for the tips on closing/silencing these warning messages.

In addition to these messages, I observed Robin's BCE installation having trouble with properly sizing/re-sizing the screen. In particular, switching back and forth between Fullscreen mode was not working and, I believe, there was an error about the Guest Additions, but we did not manage to capture a screenshot of that.

The temporary workaround we settled on was to shutdown the BCE instance and start it up again.

We verified that VirtualBox was at version 4.3.20-96996 which matches what is currently the recommended version to download to use the BCE-2015-spring release.

Next Tuesday we will meet again to cover BCE+AWS, so if we experience the issue again we will post a follow-up on this thread.

Thanks,

 Aaron

Just an FYI to everyone that I'm in the process of modifying the BCE build to create an official spring-2015 AWS AMI and an add-on post-install script that will install some basic parallelization functionality.  Hope  to have this done mid-week this week.
