Hello there,

if I run my BOINC (OpenSuse10.3 and KDE, located in /home/user/Desktop/BOINC) from the XTerm, all is fine. But starting with Konqueror there are some problems:
The program is executed not in same directory but in /home/username, and so BOINCMGR can't find the prefs and the projects. etc.
How can I solve the problem, that I can start BOINC via Konqueror by mouse? (I tried it in GNOME: no problems!). It seems to be KDE...

Sorry for my bad english.

Best regards, Sascha.

You could do this:

1) Make a new text file containing these lines:
#!/bin/bash
cd "/home/user/Desktop/BOINC"
./boinc &
./boincmgr &
2) save the file as eg. start_BOINC.sh
3) give the file execute permissions either with konqueror's right-click menu
or in a terminal by writing:
chmod 766 start_BOINC.sh
4) copy the start_BOINC.sh file to where you want
5) click it to start both boinc and then boinc manager
