1) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : How Do I run BOINC on Debian (Message 769411) Posted 17 Jun 2008 by Robert Mark White Post: You only have got these procedure as I have described, and the BOINC client would download the SETI application automaticly. Am I suspending the projects, detaching them, or just stopping the Boinc program itself. Sorry I'm new to the LInux thingy. Thanks, Dan You need do following tasks : - Stop the BOINC client - change the directory to the directory, where the BOINC client is installed and cd projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu -> or if you did not know where BOINC is installed, you can do this via "find / -name app_info.xml" - you would get the location from the file app_info.xml. cd into this directory you get from the find command (without app_info.xml at the end) - rm app_info.xml - rm setiathome-5.* - cd ../.. - start the boinc client again with "./boinc_client -update_prefs http://setiathome.berkeley.edu" I did this exact procedure and everything work exactly as you explained it but the graphics still do not work. in the file that was returned to seti i got this information. freeglut (screensaver): failed to open display ':0.0' Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified I do not know exactly what it means but i think it means the graphics tried to start but didnt know how to attach itself to the x server useing kde. any help would be greatly appreciated. mark
2) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : BOINC as screensaver under Linux (Message 769356) Posted 17 Jun 2008 by Robert Mark White Post: in debian Etch under the boinc client it lists a command --allow_remote_gui_rpc under --help but i do not know what the correct value is. any ideas? If it is enabled, BOINC managers from other systems could connect to this BOINC client and manage the BOINC client, if the password is correct. BOINC managers from other systems can always connect to any client, given that the gui_rpc_auth.cfg and remote_hosts.cfg files are set up correctly. With --allow_remote_gui_rpc you allow the connection without password protection and host name check, as far as I know (which isn't that far :-). GruÃƒÅ¸, Gundolf this is the error message i found in the output file going back to seti. Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified freeglut (screensaver): failed to open display ':0.0' Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified freeglut (screensaver): failed to open display ':0.0' Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified freeglut (screensaver): failed to open display ':0.0' I am not sure what this means. it appears to me that the client is trying to start the graphics but does not know how to connect to the x server. any one have any ideas or help for this problem?
