Umm, I've only been using Ubuntu for a week, or Linux for that matter, and I can't find the directory to which BOINC was installed. I used Synaptic to get BOINC by adding these lines to /etc/apt/sources.list : # BOINC packages for Ubuntu 5.10 "Breezy Badger" deb http://pkg-boinc.alioth.debian.org/ubuntu breezy universe deb-src http://pkg-boinc.alioth.debian.org/ubuntu breezy universe And then I clicked reload, so boinc-client, boinc-dev and boinc-manager appeared in the 'New in repository' list, and I installed each one of them. Now I've been trying to use this calibrated client and optimised application, but I can't find the BOINC directory, or the BOINC/projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu directory. Sorry for being so dumb. Thanks |

I did not know, where debian will install it. But you can do a find : "find / -name boinc_client" or "find / -name run_client" to find, where the package has installed the binaries. |

This is what I get: root@Tails:/home/moi# cd / root@Tails:/# find / -name boinc_client /usr/bin/boinc_client find: WARNING: Hard link count is wrong for /proc: this may be a bug in your filesystem driver. Automatically turning on find's -noleaf option. Earlier results may have failed to include directories that should have been searched. find: /proc/8342/task: No such file or directory find: /proc/8342/fd: No such file or directory find: /proc/8508/task: No such file or directory find: /proc/8508/fd: No such file or directory find: /proc/9193/task: No such file or directory find: /proc/9193/fd: No such file or directory root@Tails:/# Now what? Should I reinstall BOINC? Using the terminal this time? P.S. Why are my work units taking so long? My Linux host |

root@Tails:/# find / -name boinc_client The WU runntimes should IMHO be OK for this CPU. Hm, it looks like you have installed and running correctly. With a "find / -name setiathome-4\\*" or "find / -name projects" you should find now the working directory. |

The WU runntimes should IMHO be OK for this CPU. I solved the problem by removing the Synaptic install of BOINC and then reinstalling BOINC manually into /usr/BOINC, and installed the optimised application and calibrating client. But now, though the application works, the client doesn't calibrate my GFlops and CPU time like it does in Windows. How do I know if I'm still using the standard BOINC client or the calibrating one? Thanks again, |

Your question is answered in the file /usr/share/doc/boinc-client/README.Debian. The BOINC directory that the boinc-client package uses is /var/lib/boinc-client. |
