Maybe this is a stupid question, but
will we ever see a GUI for the linux
version similar to the win platform,
even classic coke has the xsetiathome
option?

That task is suposed to be in the hopper to happen "real soon now" (to quote Jerry Pournel in his column) ...

I too am breeathless in anticipation. One thing in our favor is that with OS-X, both the Mac and Linux are UNIX based, so that should help ...

Joe,

I just remember Jerry from Byte columns ... :) but The real soon now is like MS and Longhorn I am afraid. ... I hope I am wrong ... but what do I know? :)

Thanks for the complement ... I aim to please ...

Was it one of my document pages that is missing something? I am doing a rebuild of parts and I know that I have 255 broken links still ... my next update won't be until monday late (California time) ...

But I did get a little done this morning, I may be lucky tomorrow too ... I hope ...

If you can't find something or I missed or don't make it understandable, use the mail boxes ...

This probably doesn't satisfy the 'graphics' part of the original post, but I'm working on a GTK/Python gui for Linux boinc.

You can check out the current version with two screenshots here: http://www.hayber.us/boinc/

To configure it just edit the few variables near the top of the file. You can monitor multiple machines by putting their hostname or ip address in the SERVERS variable like this: SERVERS = ['machine1', '192.168.1.122', 'localhost']

It shows each host and all active tasks on that host. Each host has a button that provides a popup details window. Here you can change the run mode and reset the project, etc.

Haven't tried it with other than Seti@Home. Works here on 4.05 and 4.09 clients.

Post if there's interest I'll start a new thread for discussion / suggested improvements, etc.

UPDATE: The first version failed to keep updating due to a dumb last-minute error. Fixed now.

Hi.

Mine won't satisfy the graphics part, either, but I've got a little progress monitor that I've been using for some weeks now. I added deadline tracking today and thought maybe other folks my be interested. A screenshot can be seen here: http://www2.gol.com/users/trane/programming/programming.html

If you like what you see, please feel free to download the tar.gz file. Installation instructions are in the README file.

I thought you Linux geeks liked typing in cryptic command-line stuff.

What you should be asking for is a graphic client that outputs only in ASCII.

The game High/Low is played by tossing two nuclear warheads into the air. The one whose bomb explodes higher wins. This game is usually played by people of low intelligence, hence the name High/Low.

Papa Zito

something like this?
00% X
10% XX
20% XXXX
40% XXXXXXXX
80% XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
99% XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(!)

This would be like at dos time. Important is more, it would work.
do you think something like grep the xml and an ungly echo to the screen?

BOINCprog 1.1.1 is available for d/l.

Another alternative is BOINC View. At one time I quit doing BOINC on my Macintosh as I could not "see" what what was going on with it. Now, I run BOINC View on one of my computers and see it on the display now.

Since it is a windows program it would have to be run on wine I suppose ...

BOINCprog 1.1.2 has been released at Trane's Programming Page. This is a minor maintenance release that fixes segfaults for systems running the 2.6.8+ kernels compiled with the exec-shield patch (e.g., Red Hat Fedora Core 2).
