It's a 32gb micro sd card in a usb to sd card adapter. I can see the volume in the linux file manager.

I was thinking something like boinc-data in the root of the sd card.

Thanks for responding.

I tried to follow the directions in the referenced post, 3 times.

I've removed and reinstalled boinc from synaptic a few times, trying the directions in the referenced post after that.

I'm willing to start over completely but would like to continue work on the work units in progress...if that's doable.

I have read that when boinc is installed via synaptic (designed for the system by the maintainers) that it is more efficient and better in a few ways, that when installed from the one downloaded from boinc but I don't know. I like that it sets up to work automatically when starting the operating system.

Your suggestions are invited.

I have Boinc 7.2.42+dfsg-1 installed using synaptic.

I wish to keep the work on a flash drive since it's taking lots of space and I don't have much left on the msata drive, causing VirtualLHC and others to stop due to running out of drive space.

I tried this:

http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=9633&postid=56258

But it's not working for me. Boinc gui starts and appears for a few seconds then disappears. When started from the command line as instructed from the above posting I get this:

sudo service boinc-client start
* Starting BOINC core client: boinc_data [ OK ]
* Setting up scheduling for BOINC core client and children: [ OK ]

But there is no indication of work happening on the workunits I had from before I followed the suggestion. That is to say, I see no boinc activity showing on System Monitor in the Processes tab. I normally see activity here before I followed the directions in the link above.

Thanks.

A few months ago you asked if anybody would like to try.

I'm willing if the application is not going to screw up this computer.

It's a touchbook from alwayinnovating.com
