Does anyone have been able to run BoincTasks under linux ? I'm using wine setup_32_64_boinc_tasks_1_6_9.exe to install it. localhost is detected but status is 'not connected'. How to be connected ??? |

I don't know "How to be connected" (in this Linux/wine case) but you may diagnose: From BoincTasks menu: Show -> Log ... and at bottom check: [v] Enable debug mode Restart BoincTasks and look in the Show -> Log what BoincTasks try to do. Note: BOINC itself have to run for BoincTasks to be able to connect to it. Â - ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :) Â |

Do you need a Windows version of boinc to also run in Wine? Or are there some settings to tweak to allow programs running inside the Wine world to communicate with the 'outside'? (This is all reminiscent of the days of running s@h + SetiQ + SetiCache all inside Wine on Linux. Then boinc came along to run all that functionality natively as one. And then appeared the Lunatics... Ni!) Happy fast crunchin', Martin See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) |

Debug mode help me ! I've add the following line in cc_config.xml <allow_remote_gui_rpc>1</allow_remote_gui_rpc> I've remove the gui_rpc_auth.cfg file in order to get access without password. But there was a still a mismatch error on password..... Finally, wine hang and I had to logout, killing the process has no effect :( so bye bye, boinctasks...it's a pity as the software seems to be quite good. Thanks for your help. |

On Windows BoincTasks connects to the localhost BOINC automatically by reading gui_rpc_auth.cfg and using the password inside. You don't have to delete gui_rpc_auth.cfg - instead Copy/Paste the password from it to [Computers] tab of BoincTasks Or type your own password in gui_rpc_auth.cfg It seems that Wine is like VM (?) so BoincTasks and BOINC run on different logical computers (?) So if Wine + BoincTasks is "Remote computer" as BOINC see it - you may read: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Controlling_BOINC_remotely#Remote_access i.e. you need remote_hosts.cfg in BOINC Data directory with contents like this: My-comp1-name My-comp2-name My-comp3-name 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.2 192.168.1.3 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.2 192.168.0.3 192.168.0.100 192.168.0.101 192.168.0.102 192.168.0.103 Then you may also use menu in BoincTasks: Computer -> Find computers http://efmer.com/b/?q=boinctasks_manual http://efmer.com/b/?q=boinctasks_manual_net  - ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :)  |

Unable to copy/paste as the refresh is set to 4 seconds... ??? On [Computers] tab of BoincTasks Add computer (if you don't see any computer added in the list) Click 2 times in 'Password' column where you see ***** Copy/Paste your password I've changed the settings ... Not clear which settings  - ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :)  |

Linux has its own native boinc client. Running windows boinc under wine is just adding unneeded complexity and overhead.... So I would advise downloading the native boinc client (if you are running Ubuntu linux Boinc is part of the application software centre - makes it easy to install). SO I would advise to install the linux version first then work out other issues after that point. Cheers Mark |

well that is indeed confusing. Didnt know such a thing existed, thought was talking about standard boinc. sorry for the confusion |
