Linux Won't Start Agent
(Message 112217)
Posted 30 Jun 2023 by WilhelmGGW Post: EUREKA! I discovered the source of my problem! When I recently purchased this refurbished Windows 10 machine, I first booted and updated it in Windows. Wanting to stress test it before I replaced Windows with the Linux Mint OS, I loaded and ran Boinc-WCG for a few days in Windows. Then I installed Linux Mint, setting the process to do a "clean install" - i.e., erase all the previous systems before installing the Linux. Then it was after this new system install that I could not get Boinc to load and posted here for advice. Fast forward to this morning when I noticed that my World Community Grid project had continued recording work done the new computer, even after I deleted Windows to install the LM and couldn't get the Boinc to load. My conclusion... Windows loaded Boinc as a service that ended up still operating on computer, even after doing the installation of LM. So that the already running Boinc service from Windows blocked starting the program in Linux. Now at least I can keep the new computer running 24/7 to crank out the Boinc work units. I guess I only miss having the control of boinc-manager, mainly to work on more than one project at a time. I'd really like to be rid of the root service so I could run client and manager both in Linux. But that's a task I know nothing about. |

Posted 28 Jun 2023 by WilhelmGGW Post: Just ran command again after a reboot. Produced the same no-response in terminal. Then checked with System Monitor, and it does not show the process running - nor any jump in CPU resources. |

Posted 27 Jun 2023 by WilhelmGGW Post: I just installed Linux Mint 21 on a new computer, did all the updates, and downloaded the BOINC programs from the repository. All looks perfectly normal - like it has for all the many previous Linux Mint computers I've set up before. But when I click to start the program from the launcher, nothing happens. I've tried reinstalling in terminal mode, with the Software Manager, and with the Synaptic Package Manager - all to no avail. What can I do to get BOINC to run as it should? |

GPU Processing Capability on UBUNTU?
(Message 29097)
Posted 1 Dec 2009 by WilhelmGGW Post: Related question. When one runs the BOINC software on a computer, does it detect whether the hardware is compatible with GPU processing and allow one to set it up (or not) right from the beginning? Maybe I don't have to figure compatibility on my own? Maybe if I've never seen BOINC detect GPU processing capability, I don't have it? |

Posted 30 Nov 2009 by WilhelmGGW Post: I have a Dell dual-core machine with Ubuntu OS. Can someone tell me how to check its GPU compatibility for the faster processing available on the newer BOINC versions? All I can find 'round these parts is how to check on a Windows machine. Thanks. |

Should I update BOINC software?
(Message 29062)
Posted 29 Nov 2009 by WilhelmGGW Post: On two of my computers, I installed BOINC back in '07. Version 5.10. I see a much newer version is now available. Should I update my software to this newer version? If so, how do I do that? Do I need to uninstall the older BOINC, then install the new. Or can I install the new on top of the old? |
