So I actually cheated and loaded boincmgr - I can do this as did load the X11 services onto the server. My Mac has a X11 app built in so I remote into the server and run limited graphics via X11. Its not a pure server setup but this is just home stuff. I've got jobs from SETI and Rosetta running - Rosetta is already marking tasks done - SETI jobs are there but not sure if they are processing.

I'll give a week or 2 and see how the results are

Thanks

Thanks for your help on this - I've done those commands (prior to posting) and I'm not working on any projects - here is some status output - obviously I'm missing a step

Forgot - running Ubuntu Server 10.04 32bit --- I do have an X11 environment loaded if that would help.

So I can imagine that trying to run boinc on a headless linux server puts me in the minority of folks running boinc. I'm setting up a couple of headless servers at home to polish up my linux skills and provide some cheap network storage.

Issue is that while I would really like to have some projects cranking while these are sitting idle (most of the time) I cannot find any suitable examples of how to get things running. I've got the boinc client loaded and its running - I can issue boinccmds and get responses.

I can find many sites with lists of boinccmds etc. ... all of these assume the user knows the which commands to enter first (to setup this) and then run this command next (which sets up that) then this command ..... plus some helpful examples of command syntax.

I've got an account at SETI and even went as far as installing boinc on my XP machine (a brain-less install) just so I could confirm all is well which it is ------------- any help is appreciated -- I have no more time to spend on this quest
