did you type the .sh after the name? Like This is what I typed in william@william-desktop:~$ cd desktop bash: cd: desktop: No such file or directory william@william-desktop:~$ cd Desktop william@william-desktop:~/Desktop$ boinc_5.10.8_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh bash: boinc_5.10.8_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh: command not found william@william-desktop:~/Desktop$ boinc_5.4.11_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh bash: boinc_5.4.11_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh: command not found william@william-desktop:~/Desktop$ boinc_5.8.16_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh bash: boinc_5.8.16_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh: command not found william@william-desktop:~/Desktop$ Are the instructions for upgrading BOINC on Mandirva the same installing the uprade on Unbuntu?

did you type the .sh after the name? Like I think I see your problem. First is the program set as executable? You need to make sure it's set executable first. If it already is, then most Linux systems won't let you actually execute a file in the directory where it is located. If you are in the directory, you must type ./commandname. That's a period and forward slash before the command. Hope this helps. Jim Some people plan their life out and look back at the wealth they've had.

did you type the .sh after the name? Like You need to cd into your desktop directory first. Either that or type desktop/boinc_restofcommand from your home directory. Note, no period/backslash needed if you are not in the directory where the file is located. Jim Some people plan their life out and look back at the wealth they've had.

Matthew, Files are Case sensitive. Try "D"esktop instead of desktop. I did use the uppercase D when changed the directory. After the directory changed the D in desktop went to a lower case d. treid it again and this is what I typed william@william-desktop:~/Desktop$ boinc_5.8.16_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh LETS BEGIN IN 2010 ID: 617146 · |

Matthew, Files are Case sensitive. Try "D"esktop instead of desktop. Ok try it again except put the period forward slash in front of the command name like so: ./boinc_5.8.16_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh Jim Some people plan their life out and look back at the wealth they've had.

Ok, try chmod 777 boinc...restofcommanname then try it again. You must not have the permissions to execute the program. The chmod sets permisxions and the 777 tells it to set all permissions for all users, including the execute bit. Since you are not executing the command, to run the program, but just changing permissions on it you don't need the dotslash in front. But then try again to execcute it using the dotslash.

There being more than one way to do things in *nix, You could do this: william@william-desktop:~/Desktop$ sh boinc_5.8.16_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh Which will execute the shell script without having to change the permissions. Claude

okay I clicked on the boincmgr and came up with an error Authorization failed connecting to running client. Make sure you start this program in the same directory as the client. the only thing I can think of is when I first started the installation I did not use the older version of BOINC which I have on my PC.

Question! Do I need to un install the older version of BOINC for the new version to be installed or will update the existing version like it does in windows. LETS BEGIN IN 2010 ID: 617190 · |

Yep sounds like you're almost there! First, did you remove the other BOINC version from your system? You can use any program that displays the running processes, or just pull up a terminal and type ps -A and look for boinc in the list. If you find it you will have to find where it's started from and remove that and restart Linux. You can just kill the running process but if you don't remove the line in the startup files that starts it it will just start up again as soon as you reboot. Or better yet, just change the line to point to the proper directory for the new version. The filenames will be the same but just the path will be different. You will have to become root to modify system files. If it's anything like standard slackware you should have a file called rc.boinc in the /etc/rc.d folder. You may have another setup using a series of "rc." directories and then a main directory where the actual file is located. Once you get the line changed just reboot and it should start the new version. This is the only thing I can think of that would stop you from running it now is the old boinc is still running. Good luck... Jim Some people plan their life out and look back at the wealth they've had. Others live life day by day and look back at the wealth of experiences and enjoyment they've had.

OK, I'm on the Mandriva machine now (dual Pentium III 700). The static IP trick worked (though I would much rather have it work with DHCP, however, I don't have the time or patience right now to fiddle so it'll have to do). I downloaded BOINC, extracted using the 'sh' command and it produced a BOINC folder on the desktop. I launched BOINCMGR.EXE and now it can't connect to a BOINC client! I'm sure it's a firewall thing, but I don't know how to turn it off or allow BOINC access. Little help? [Edit] OK, nevermind. Apparently I had to double-click on BOINC.EXE first, then BOINCMGR.EXE would work. Seems kinda backwards to me since BOINCMGR should launch BOINC while loading from what I understand. Anyway, I got my system crunching SETI@Home. But where's the BOINC tray icon? How can I easily open BOINC Manager? [Edit 2] Another issue. Mandriva seems to think I only have a single CPU installed and is only running a single instance of the science app. My prefs allow for up to 4 CPUs in a system, so I know it's not my prefs. How do I tell Mandriva that I have two CPUs? I thought Linux was supposed to support multiple CPUs right out of the box? ID: 618869 · |

you can open and close the boinc manager at will. If you close the boinc manager when Boinc is running, boinc will stay running. you reopen the manager by opening the boinc folder and clicking on the manager. Yep, boinc must be started first, then manager, good catch. ALL of mine picked up both cpus, but boinc only downloads ONE right off the bat because it asks for ONE second of work, then after a few min, the second wu should start. can't answer the tray icon question. I was just happy I finally got it to work, and pretty much stopped my learning process at that point. LOL ID: 618877 · |

BOINC already downloaded a second workunit but has not start processing it. When I check the system online, it displays that it only has 1 CPU. You can view my Linux host here. ID: 618879 · |

Here's the benchmarks: Measured floating point speed 1000 million ops/sec Measured integer speed 1000 million ops/sec Might wanna rerun them, it went to default. I too thought linux recognized all processors, so can't help there. ID: 618880 · |
