Hi,

Yep, I tried the 6.12.28 (x86) version yesterday with no luck. I'll check back on the forum in a few days to see if you've found anything....

Thanks for your help!

Hi,

I tried the test release for the linux version. I was able to get the client running but there's no information anywhere on how to get the graphics going....Is there a write up on that?

Thanks!

Hi,

Great! Any ideas when the new version will come out?

Also, I was wondering if there will ever be a linux opengl screensaver or something similar? Most of my computers run linux and it'd be great to have a screen saver for them.

So this specifically happens when I click Test on the boinc screensaver only. It then crashes with an error saying that "boincscreen plugin" (or something very similar, can't remember if there was a dash ) has caused an error. All the other screensavers work just fine.

THe error only occurs after I let the screensaver start. It says the screensaver is successful but when I try to exit, it crashes. It doesn't seem to exit correctly.

Thanks for your help!

Hi,

I'm a long time boinc user. The latest boinc client for mac crashes my screensaver preferences tab (although later the screensaver runs ok --- I think --didn't see an error message).

I'm running snow leopard with the latest updates... Previous versions were ok. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi,

I've found a related post here: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=5808


Disabling the graphics switch fixes the problem. Thank you for your help!

Hm,

But the problem manifests itself with not just rosetta. Einstein@home does that too. Plus the graphics otherwise work fine....

I think I'm getting somewhere. If I disable graphics switching it doesn't restart every few seconds. It even eventually shows me the big boinc screen with how far it is in the project, but no graphics!

I'm also getting:

"core.init: ROSETTA3_DB not defined" and for some reason there appears to entries for Rosetta...

The graphics seem to work. I have several files in the project and the top one shows just fine. There is another line that when I click "show graphics" (and yes, it's not grayed out) nothing loads.

I'm also getting "couldn't find bundleid for app minirosetta_graphics_1.92_i686-apple-darwin"... the graphics still show though!

Yes, they do. My old macbook pro is part of those projects.

Hi,

I downloaded the latest version this morning when I tried to fix the problem (I am away from my laptop at the moment so I can't check).

I tried using set, foldit, einstein. It worked fine on my older mbp so not quite sure what's going on...

Hi,

I'm a long time boinc user. I've used it on Win, OS X and Linux.

I recently got a new macbook pro i7 and have installed boinc. However, every time it goes to the screen saver it says

"connecting to boinc application"...
"starting screen saver graphics"

And then it restarts with the boinc logo with the same sequence. I have tried uninstalling, deleting in Library/ApplicationSupport/ as well as the Boinc Manager preferences...

Any ideas what could be causing this?
