I'm switching over some boxes from windoze to linux (opensuse 10.3). I like running boincmgr in the advanced, 'grid' view. I can't find any options to select or configure to have it always start in 'grid'
view. Also, under the 'Advanced' tab, 'General' options when I change the 'reminder frequency' slider up to the max 120, it is never remembered when I shut down and
restart the manager. I'm starting the manager from a simple bash script very similar to the the one that comes with the linux 5.10.28 version of BOINC.

Is there a way to configure these settings so they are saved in my home directory when boincmgr starts?
Thank you all.

See if you have a "~/.BOINC Manager" (yes, the filename has a space - horror!)

I remember somebody had trouble with it before, and turns out it was corrupted. Deleting it solved the problem (since on next run, boincmgr recreated it).

Thanks, Nicolas. Any help is appreciated. Unfortunately, I didn't have a
~/.BOINC Manager config file so I couldn't try it out. Everytime I restart
I still have to change those options if I want them different - they are not
saved like in the windoze manager client.

I'm still very happy running BOINC under linux!

regards,
