Show graphics on Linux
(Message 23685)
Posted 15 Mar 2009 by Marathon Post: I heard that BOINC version 6 will run version 5 work units, but not display version 5 graphics. That is part of the problem, as Astropulse is still in version 5. (If I want to see graphics, maybe I should downgrade to BOINC version 5.) |

Show graphics on Linux

Posted 16 Feb 2009 by Marathon Post: It would be interesting to see the graphics on Linux. I'm running Seti@Home. The "show graphics" feature used to work when I had a previous version of SuSE, but they are not working now (SuSE version 11). So, I assume that something was installed on a previous version that I don't have installed now. Anyone have any idea what I should look for? |

Files must be in home directory

Posted 16 Feb 2009 by Marathon Post: Right. The fact that it was able to contact the server at SETI to find out that there was no work available suggested BOINC was working. Before, if I installed BOINC a sub-directory, it would not have contacted the server at all. I just wanted to let Dagorath know I hadn't forgotten about the test he asked me to do. Thanks for the help! |

Posted 15 Feb 2009 by Marathon Post: I got some work units, and it seems to be working. I can't recreate the problem. Interesting, because I had the same problem with previous editions of BOINC and SuSE. |

Posted 14 Feb 2009 by Marathon Post: Sorry about the delay. After installing it in my home directory, I had to wait for some work units to finish. Then, I got side tracked. In order to run the test you requested, I re-installed BOINC where I had it originally. It seems to work now, except SETI@home is offering no work units. More later ... |

Posted 26 Jan 2009 by Marathon Post: That isn't it. The install program correctly set the contents of run_manager.sh Since it works for you, I suspect the problem is somewhere in permissions or security on my computer's setup. I recently upgraded to 6.4.5, and I have a new problem. When I shut down my computer, next time I start it, the project (Seti@Home) is lost! It is as if joining a project ant starting a work unit had not taken place. |

Posted 26 Jan 2009 by Marathon Post: I have Linux SuSE 11. I can't run BOINC unless I put the files in my user's home directory. ( /home/marathon for example) If I install to /home/marathon/BOINC or /home/marathon/Research/BOINC it won't work. If I open the BOINC manager, all the buttons except those under the statistics are disabled. There are no messages in the message window. The status at the bottom right says "disconnected." If, from the menu bar, I use tools --> attach to project, it is ignored. For now, I'll put the files in my user's home directory. I hope this will be fixed in a future version, and I will then be able to put the files in a sub-directory of my choosing. |
