Does this mean that when I set up the machine for remote desktop, Microsoft replaced the existing NVIDIA drivers? If so, I guess I'll need to reinstall them. Thanks again, Bill

2) Message boards : Questions and problems : Missing GPU due to running remote desktop under Windows 11 (Message 112462) Posted 6 Aug 2023 by wlathan Post: I am running BOINC 7.22.2. Got a new computer and thought I would observe running this machine via remote desktop on my new machine. However, when I do this, all tasks needing a GPU on this machine are marked as "missing GPU." This includes tasks from Asteroids, Einstein, and PrimeGrid, I don't understand why this is happening. This machine has two NVIDIA graphics cards plus one Intel graphics capability from the Intel CPU. I can understand that one of these GPUs could be utilized by the remote desktop connection, but why all three? Am I missing something? Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks, Bill

Now at least I have a way to kill all processes along with the Boinc manager. I agree that the developer put a little too much security into the thing. Regards, Bill

7) Message boards : Questions and problems : How does one kill the BOINC Mgr and associated work processes in Ubuntu Linux? (Message 112342) Posted 23 Jul 2023 by wlathan Post: I am using BOINC as downloaded and installed via the instructions provided for Ubuntu on page https://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Installing_BOINC_on_Debian_or_Ubuntu. I am using Ubuntu 22.04 DTS. I have noted an issue, at least for me. Unlike the Windows version of the manager, which has an "Exit BOINC" under "File" that then shuts down the manager plus all work in progress, the Linux version of the manager merely has a "Close Window" under "File." That command merely closes the BOINC Mgr. window but leaves all the work processes working as evidenced by all the processors in System Monitor working their little hearts out. Just what command(s) am I to use to shut down the manager plus all associated work processes? Many thanks, Bill

Are you saying that 22.04 already had a version of BOINC that is incorrect? If so, I didn't use that one anyway, but my question still stands whether the instructions as indicated result in a valid installation. Everything seems to work fine, except for shutting down all the processes (other message posted here). Many thanks, Bill

I ask because when I use this version, my machine soon develops a problem with screen resolution. I just want to verify that the version I have is the latest correct one. TIA, Bill
