Can anyone help me with the instructions to install the Boinc screensaver in Ubuntu 12.10? Does it work like the one in Windows?

This is the link http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/browser/boinc/clientscr/screensaver_x11.cpp

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your answear Ageles!

It seems I have a couple of confussions.

1. Apparently it is different that the Boinc client is running from the Boinc manager is running I tried "/etc/init.d/boinc-client status" and it said the Boinc client is running, wich means it start at boot. Does that mean that I'm transfering my computer power to the proyect even if the Boinc manager isn't open? If the client is running does it follow the preferens of the Boinc manager? For ex. that it only starts a minute after the pc is suspoded over a minute?

2. I can make the Boinc manager start contributing to the proyect after 1 minute of iddle, but does that mean the Boinc is running even when my pc is sleeping or suspended? Because when I put my password the Boinc manager shows the proyect running suspended because my PC is active.

3. Is there an icon or applet, not for the launcher, but for the systray? (where the wifi, battery and volume setting are, up and to the right corner)

Thanks again!

I'm a part of the Boinc proyect, and a big fan. Recently I installed Ubuntu 12.10 and have experienced a lot of problems and miss a number of features that are available in the Windows 7 version.

Firstly a tought I had installed Boinc incorrectly, but it seems that this is the correct way: http://askubuntu.com/questions/223842/what-is-the-correct-way-of-installing-boinc-software-in-ubuntu-12-10

I have the 7.0.27 version installed because the are no repositories in Quantal for the 7.028 version

The features I miss are:

1. A screensaver when the PC is suspended
2. The option that Boinc runs at startup
3. It seems that in Windows Boinc only works when the PC isn't running and in Ubuntu it seems that it works all the time
4. A systray icon of Boinc

Are all of them missing or is it me that can't get them to work?

Please excuse my english, thanks for your time and your answears

Greetings
