1) Message boards : BOINC Manager : BOINC Manager can't find browser (again) (Message 13196) Posted 22 Oct 2007 by Berend Post: Think you're right Ned, Tried everything you said and followed Jord's link and got the same outcome (I'm running KDE). Unfortunately I'm not that deep into WxWidgets. Berend

Uhh, this link points to Proteins@home. Don't see anything about default browsers
3) Message boards : BOINC Manager : BOINC Manager can't find browser (again) (Message 13181) Posted 21 Oct 2007 by Berend Post: Hi Ned / Ageless, No it has nothing to do with Xlib.lock It was not possible and also in 5.10.21 still not possible. If you try to view your account through the BOINC manager, it complains: "BOINC Manger tried to display the web page of http:/... but couldn't find a browser. Assign your standard browser by adding the path to it and restart the BOINC Manager" Sorry it's a quick translation from Dutch. I don't know where I have to put that path - there's no link to for example the preference tab, so I just left it. If you install KBoincSpy, this feature runs out of the box. Berend

5) Message boards : BOINC Manager : xlib errors (Message 13053) Posted 13 Oct 2007 by Berend Post: From the German planet3D forum I learned this thread: http://en.opensuse.org/Xlib.lock After executing it, the 5.10.8 GUI ran again Berend
6) Message boards : BOINC Manager : xlib errors (Message 13011) Posted 11 Oct 2007 by Berend Post: OK got the BOINC client running (5.10.8) in a console (./run_client). I installed kboincspy, ran it and added the BOINC location (~/BOINC/client_state.xml) and allowed Leiden to get work. It's crunching now, but actually I like to get the BOINC GUI back - so just keep on waiting a little. Berend
7) Message boards : BOINC Manager : xlib errors (Message 13006) Posted 11 Oct 2007 by Berend Post: I got this xlib error, too. It occurs on my dualcore linux machine with SUSE 10.3 64 Bit. Any idea when this might be fixed? I'm on it but there is no solution so far. The amount of messages about this problem is growing. The only solution now is to run the Windows BOINC client if you're in for the points. It's obvious you have to install WINE. I tried this (see Message 12972 above) and it generates points althoug the CPU-time will remain zero as well as the claimed credits. I ran this client (Win98+/200+) on the Leiden and Malaria projects because they have small wu's. In one case progression stopped and I had to kill the app. but when you restart it it restores itself perfectly. Only one remark could be made at the beginning: "Can't connect to computer" But through the tab "Advanced" you can "Connect to computer" to localhost. Berend
8) Message boards : BOINC Manager : xlib errors (Message 13002) Posted 11 Oct 2007 by Berend Post: DJ (Dear Jord - sounds nice) Just some remarks annex a question. I installed the PAN newsreader but not the one that came with the original OpenSuSE 10.3 distro (version 0.14.2-101). I liked the one that came with the 10.1 distro (version 0.132-33). After installing it, it wouldn't run because it couldn't find the executable. So through YaST I found out that the executable was now situated in the /opt/gnome/bin directory. Unfortunately I didn't write down where it used to be installed but it wasn't in the /opt/gnome directory. Because it's a Gnome program and I'm standard running KDE I thought that there might lay a clue. I tried to run BOINC in KDE, Gnome and FVWM2. In vain. Because of this PAN-issue I have a question. Could it be that the BOINC client is pointing the wrong directories? Unfortunately I'm not quite good in the directory structure of Linux systems and am a zero in debugging programs. Berend
9) Message boards : BOINC Manager : xlib errors (Message 12976) Posted 10 Oct 2007 by Berend Post: DF, I run the 32-bit version on an HP laptop (Intel duocore T2400) and the 64-bit version on a home-built AMD Athlon X2 3800+ (that's the one of course I put the compatibility packages on. If you're interested in what Leiden is going to do with the wine-ran version: http://boinc.gorlaeus.net/results.php?hostid=31813 The arch. is there an Intel instead of an AMD Athlon X2 Berend
10) Message boards : BOINC Manager : xlib errors (Message 12974) Posted 10 Oct 2007 by Berend Post: Thanks. Information added. Forgot one other thing. I don't know exactly which forum it was but it was suggested to install the 32-bit compatibility packages and the compat-package. So I did but that was also in vain. Berend
11) Message boards : BOINC Manager : xlib errors (Message 12972) Posted 10 Oct 2007 by Berend Post: I'm assuming this is with BOINC 5.10.8? Has anyone tried BOINC 5.10.21? 32bit version 64bit version I'll add that info to the ticket. Ticket in the mean time is here: ticket #432 Yes, I tried 5.4.11, 5.8.20 and 5.10.21 (Linux/X64). With WINE I ran 5.10.20 (Win98+, Win2000+) Only version 5.8.20 gave a GUI and running from a console gave the above mentioned error, the other Linux clients only ran from console but wouldn't start. If running 5.8.20 (GUI) you get the message "disconnected from localhost". Trying to go o "Connect to computer.." freezes the GUI (In the Win-version it is possible to connect to the "Localhost". The forumthread to the Fedora 8 beta version is: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=2145 Berend
12) Message boards : BOINC Manager : xlib errors (Message 12964) Posted 10 Oct 2007 by Berend Post: Hi Francis, Got the same problem and you're not the only one. I'm running OpenSuSE 10.3 on an Athlon X2 3800+ (64-bit) and an Intel T2400 duocore (32-bit). I tried 4 different BOINC-clients and they all don't work. It seems there is a problem trying to connect to the localhost. In this massageboard there is also a message from dietyyli running a Fedora beta version with the same problem. I tried running the windows version through BOINC. It worked but gave some funny results. Besides the architecture not being right (Intel instead of AMD) the CPU-time remained 0 (zero) and the claimed credit as well. Now I'm waiting to see what Leiden will do with these succesfull wu's with 0 claimed credits. For the rest I'm waiting to see the problem fixed.
