Thanks in advance for help! I'm running Ubuntu, Heron (8.04?) I was having trouble getting it installed and working, then I found this http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=21571 which got me through it pretty quickly with just a few minor tweaks. Now, I know it is is running, because when I ps -a I see the bonic process and the set@home process. I know it is processing work, because I can see that my totals jumped via the BONIC manager on my Windows PC. I have also seen work results turned in from both boxes on my account page. The issue I have now is that because I installed it the way I did, I can't administer it. In other words, I don't have a GUI that lets me do things. Right now, according to the BONIC manager on my Win box, I have a unit for SETI and a unit for Rosetta on the Ubuntu system that are done and waiting to be sent, and they aren't being sent. I don't know what the problem is. There are no error messages in the bonic.log file. So I need commands to find out what the problem is and possibly force the transfer. |

You don't have to force anything, they'll be reported automatically. If you can't set up BOINC manager on the ubuntu box (did you check access rights/group/owner settings?), you could try to control BOINC remotely from your windows box. You'll have to set up the remote_hosts.cfg file on the unix host and read the gui_rpc_auth.cfg from there (or change the password in it). See Controlling BOINC remotely in the BOINC wiki for more information. Gruß, Gundolf Computer sind nicht alles im Leben.

I understand they are supposed to report automatically. The concern I have is that even though the box is always on, and has an always on LAN connection, the finished units have been sitting there for quite a few hours now, so they aren't being sent. This is despite a couple of reboots too. As for the BONIC manager - I got everything up and running via the directions at the above referenced forum thread - there is nothing in there about getting the GUI part up. I went that route because simply installing the package normally didn't work. |

Working on trying to get that running correctly now. Thanks for the tip - hope it helps. |

Ok, remote access via GUI from Windows to Ubuntu is working great. Thanks for the pointers! Now, if I could just get someone over the the Ubuntu forums to explain why my mouse keeps dying..... |
