1) Message boards : Server programs : Unable to download workunits from boinc server Message 14179 Posted 2 Dec 2007 by Gandalf	I have two linux machines on a LAN. I'm hosting a BOINC server on one, and trying to use the other as client. I'm able to attach to the project but get the following message when it tries to contact the scheduler for work: Sending scheduler request: Project Initialization Scheduler request failed: couldn't connect to server The project works fine when i am using the client on the same machine as the server, that is connecting to the boinc server as localhost. I searched through the net but couldn't find a fix. Can anybody help me with this, as this is a little urgent.
2) Message boards : BOINC Manager : boinc_5.10.21_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh boinc manager menu bar does not appear Message 14149 Posted 28 Nov 2007 by Gandalf	Infact when i reverted back to 5.8.16 everthing seems to be working fine. Is 5.8.21 incompatible with Ubuntu 7.04 or do i have a missing dependency that's preventing any of the buttons to work, any of the menu items to be displayed and preventing me from typing any text in the attach project option?
3) Message boards : BOINC Manager : boinc_5.10.21_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh boinc manager menu bar does not appear Message 14148 Posted 28 Nov 2007 by Gandalf	I downloaded the new boinc version 5.10.21 but after running the shell script, when i run ./run_manager the BOINC manager that appears does not show any men bar. The buttons don't have any text on them and in general no text (except in the message window) is displayed. I am using Ubuntu 7.04. Intel Pentium M machine. Can anybody tell me how to fix this problem, because the older verion that i was using worked fine for me.
4) Message boards : BOINC client : stderr.txt missing from the slots directory in boinc-client Message 13905 Posted 16 Nov 2007 by Gandalf	I thought stderr.txt captures the activities of the application and is located under the slots directory in boinc-client. But it's missing in my client. I am not sure if application creates the file (it surely edits the file). In any case, do you what should I do to get the stderr to print the outputs in stderr.txt at the client end?
5) Message boards : BOINC client : stderr.txt missing from the slots directory in boinc-client Message 13897 Posted 16 Nov 2007 by Gandalf	I'm using boinc-client version 5.8.1-2build1~feisty-fawn on Ubuntu 7.04. No stderr.txt file exists in the slots folder under the boinc-client directory and hence i'm unable to get stderr outputs from an application i'm working on. Can anybody tell me why it doesn't exist and what can i do to restore its existence.

7) Message boards : BOINC client : Problems during make Message 12213 Posted 23 Aug 2007 by Gandalf	I'm not sure if this is the correct board to be posting my problem but because i found a similar thread http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=1010 i n this category, i'm posting my problem here. I'm trying to install boinc on my ubuntu(dapper drake) machine and even after installing all the requisite packages whenever i do make i get the following error. make[2]: Entering directory `/home/boincadm/boinc/apps' /bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CXX --mode=link g++ -I../lib -I../api -I../db -I../client -I../tools -I../sched -I../lib/mac -I/usr/include/mysql -DBIG_JOINS=1 -pthread -g -O2 -I/usr/include -I/usr/include/openssl -pthread -L../lib -L/usr/lib -o upper_case upper_case.o -L../lib -L../api -lboinc_api -lboinc -lssl -lcrypto -ldl -lnsl -lz -lpthread -lm -lgcc -lstdc++ -lgcc_eh -lc g++ -I../lib -I../api -I../db -I../client -I../tools -I../sched -I../lib/mac -I/usr/include/mysql -DBIG_JOINS=1 -g -O2 -I/usr/include -I/usr/include/openssl -o upper_case upper_case.o -pthread -L/home/boincadm/boinc/lib -L/usr/lib -L/home/boincadm/boinc/api -lboinc_api -lboinc -lssl -lcrypto -ldl -lnsl -lz -lpthread -lm -lgcc -lstdc++ -lgcc_eh -lc upper_case.o: In function `main':/home/boincadm/boinc/apps/upper_case.C:200: undefined reference to `g_sleep' /usr/lib/libboinc_api.a(boinc_api.o): In function `boinc_init_options': undefined reference to `is_diagnostics_initialized' /usr/lib/libboinc_api.a(boinc_api.o): In function `boinc_init': undefined reference to `is_diagnostics_initialized' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [upper_case] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/boincadm/boinc/apps' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/boincadm/boinc' make: *** [all] Error 2 I tried doing what is mentioned in the link mentioned above but the checkin_notes_2005 mention - removed #ifdefs involving BOINC_APP_GRAPHICS and thus i can't find even this ifdef in the upper_case.O or in any of the headers included. Can anybody help me with this?
