It is ready to make a Ukrainian interface for BOINC Manager. How this to make? I found the files of languages, but they are similarly somehow compiled. Someone can prompt?

And how was the installation? :) That's the main BOINC problem on Vista, especially if you don't have admin privileges (Program files folder not writable afaik).

That's been discussed: Were erroneously included features under development. Personally i had no issues with any of them. Expect a fanfare Vista release..... not seen a Vista Capable statement yet :O

Am I the only person who gets two browsers opening when they use the link buttons on the 'advanced' view?

If I have no browser open and press any of the links, it opens two copies of iexplorer - one with the page requested and one blank.

If select computer restored connection, then it just disconnected, didn't kill the service.

And just don't play around with Advanced, shutdown connected computer, as it doesn't matter if you fill in anything, press the cancel button or press the X...

And just don't play around with Advanced, shutdown connected computer, as it doesn't matter if you fill in anything, press the cancel button or press the X, if you run as a Windows service on your computer, playing with this option will kill the service. Rom knows and is adding a confirmation screen. ;-)

With a 60% difference in benchmarks between linux and windows and a very limited uptake of FLOP counting based credit across the projects, isn't it about time the BOINC devs fixed this benchmarking problem!

Live long and BOINC.

I also saw some strange behaviour after viewing the Simple Gui.
Closing the BOINC manager should close all, but after viewing the Simple Gui all stays active.
No simular behaviour without viewing the Simple Gui.
The manager comes with the "close confirmation" message and all stops.

Message button closed the BOINC manager, but BOINC (and the app running) remained active.

Default is:
Use at most 50% of memory when computer is in use
Use at most 50% of memory when computer is idle

Actually the default is 50% when in use and 90% when idle.
But Einstein doesn't use those preferences yet.

Boinc shouldn't use any CPU. It is only a managing program, it doesn't crunch.

i have tried the 5.8.1 and the 5.4.11 for the same result :(

hello
I've installed Boinc (the lastest and beta version) on my server using Debian 3.1 and i've some problems :
After few minutes, the process "Boinc" use 100% of the cpu and i see : [einstein_S5R1_4] <defunct>

have you and idea ?

Thanks

Just installed Boinc 5.8.1-gnu on my mandriva 2005 LE machine KDE environment (just to test :o):
Minor problems I noticed in the simple view:

-The message button doesn't work: the manager crashes immediatly and my Rosetta Wu crashed also. Each time I press the message button, the manager crashes but the Einstein Wus are OK (boinc as a service is running OK)
-The buttons are cutted horizontaly: the text is almost unreadable without the "info-bubbles" explaining what the button is supposed to do.
-The "get help button" tries to open the following adress in Epiphany: http://.....;&#12149;manager_links.php/?target=simple

In the preferences window:
-the buttons at the bottom (next to the ?) are completly unreadable: I can't see the text, I just see a blue line with white dots (I suppose the text is in White on a blue background).
-The ? button tries to open: http://......
&#65533;&#65533;manager_links.php/?target=simple_preferences&controlid=5112
and I have to push it twice to open the browser (once: the browser doesn't open)

When in pause, I think the little green dot desappearing is not enough to show that Boinc is in pause (there is no tray icon in Linux): so the red word "in pause" somewhere in the simple view would be welcome, IMHO.(I know Linux guys are not using the pause button, but nonetheless......:o))

Although these problems, the other features are working and boinc is working, so keep on the good work...

HTH
(BTW, I have a cc_config.xml file, so perhaps I can pass an option to know why the manager crashes when I push the message button)

you can also put two white squares in the background picture to save some kb ;)

Just uploaded this one...

Hey Rene, seeing that it can do transperancy, can the BSG also do without a background picture and only do transparency?

Will someone Please fix the Linux client benchmark!

There is something wrong with these files:
-background_image
-project_area_background_image
-dialog_background_image
-workunit_area_background_image

If the format is ".jpg" such as documented in Creating Skins the Manager shows only standard, with ".png" no problem.
