1) Message boards : BOINC client : faulty screensaver with climateprediction.net? (Message 12744) Posted 26 Sep 2007 by jmland Post: I am running climateprediction.net on BOINC manager 5.10.20. It seems to be running fine, but there is one problem. The screensaver shows only a blank, black and white globe with no graphics. On the left side, it says to use the CTRL key plus various other keys to turn on the graphic features of the screensaver. When I first hit CTRL, however, the screensaver kicks off and I am back at my desktop. Along with this issue, I can go into BOINC manager, then go to the "tasks" tab, highlight "climateprediction.net" in the project list (it's the only one I have), and then hit "show graphics" at the left. This gives me a small window with a replica of the screensaver. Here, I am able to hit the various keys to adjust the globe graphics and see the results (i.e. turn on temperature, start/stop globe rotation, etc.). I have tried setting it to the view I want, and then closing it, but it always reverts back to the blank, non-rotating globe. When I go back and perform the same steps noted in this paragraph, it is again back to the blank globe. Is there some way to "save" my settings? It used to work a year or two ago, but I think it stopped working once when I upgraded to the latest BOINC Manager (not sure which version that was).
