Will that Linus thing accept Linux Mint 14. If not what do I use????? And that applies to ALL Boinc software.

AFAIK, Mint 14 based on Ubuntu Quantal. So you can use proper Quantal's packages (boinctui and so on).

can you tell me what key/key combinations set the function in motion at top, particularly how to get the projects listed for a host, activity and tasks [latter always showing].

Top panel only for tasks list. You can get project list for current host via "Projects" menu items only.


Also, when rolling through the hosts added, is there a combination to roll back to a previous host?

Current version haven't hot key for switching to previous host. You can use "N" to select proper host.

Looks good. Would it run in terminal [for that would be the non-plus ultra]? Running my Linux box without the Graphical interface loaded... only alt-ctrl-f1/f6 sessions. The screenshot suggests it's still running in a GUI session.


Yes, it work in text terminal without X. I test boinctui in linux text console (ctl-alt-f1), in remote ssh session, and in ssh+screen remote session.

Hello All!
I released text mode version of BOINC manager for Linux (boinctui). I was build binary package for Fedora and Ubuntu Linux and source code archive for other Linux. Boinctui does not use BOINC source code, and can be compiled without BOINC.
Boinctui can manage remote BOINC hosts (via boinc rpc protocol) and no need to install BOINC and boinctui on same computer.

Main Features:

    - Fullscreen curses based text user interface
    - Switch between several BOINC clients hosts via hot key
    - View task list (run, queue, suspend e.t.c state)
    - View message list
    - Suspend/Resume/Abort tasks
    - Update/Suspend/Resume/Reset/No New Task/Allow New Task for projects
    - Toggle activity state (Always suspend/Always resume/Run based on preferences)
    - Manage BOINC client on remote hosts via boinc_gui RPC protocol
