The DownArrow does nothing, at least by it's self anyway, using the Ctrl & Alt & Down Arrow Minimizes the BOINC Window though ... The - in the Upper Left Menu Minimizes FireFox & the Terminal where their still active but not showing, I'll try BOINC later but not now, have some Wu's at 3+ Hr's that I don't want to lose if it doesn't work for BOINC too ...
And there's some of the confusion. The "boinc" that you're moving to /etc/init.d is *not* the one that gets extracted from the boinc package. It's one I mentioned before wasn't included in what you posted. It's from the Dotsch/UX and it's 91 lines long. That's one of those bits I mentioned live in my setup folder that I pre-load into the BOINC folder prior to running the lnx.sh script you've been working through. It's not the boinc executable. That just plain won't work. mv that back. At least then you should have a working boinc install. I'm trying to get to the point I have a host I can single-step through this.Quote:

I did notice that within the Dotsch/UX boinc file, some of the commands point to /home/boinc/BOINC rather then /home/BOINC. Will this still work or does that file need editing? Or is it just easier to move the BOINC folder to /home/boinc ????
"boinc" is the user that BOINC is installed as under a Dotsch/UX install. So replace that "home/boinc" with "home/username" for your install. So if you used the username "dilbert" it'd be "home/dilbert" (So it becomes "/home/dilbert/BOINC" in your case.)Quote:

That will cause BOINC to be cleanly started and stopped during bootup and shutdown. One caveat though, GPU crunching doesn't work when started via the start-up scripting like that.Code:sudo update-rc.d boinc defaults 90 01
1st, Thx Mumps for the help.
2nd, it almost worked :P Okay, starting over.
Installed another Linux OS on another Box with Win 7 already installed but getting this:

The Network is working cause I'm typing this from Linux from that Box ... BOINC won't start either: Probably because of this: error while loading shared libraries: libwx_gtk2u_html-2.8.so.0
poorboy@PBOYZTOY17L:~$ ~/BOINC/run_manager
./boincmgr: error while loading shared libraries: libwx_gtk2u_html-2.8.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

EDIT: Figured out what was wrong, I got a message saying I only had 127mb of disk space left while in Linux so I figure I must not have given it enough disk space. Thought I did but guess not, anywho rather than have a messed up drive I wiped it clean and deleted all the Partitions. It's only a 80gb Drive so I'll just make it a Linux Only Drive & Box for now. I can always throw another Drive in it later if I want to & install Windows again ...
If you are tight on disk space, this will help a little bit:
sudo apt-get remove libreoffice*
Yup. Been there. Do that by rote as well. :)Quote:

Some of the Wu's run to Completion but a very small percentage of them. I'll give them another day before going back to Windows & just forget about those Projects ...
Hey Ste\/e, I just hit 10K in Edges on an Ubuntu VM. Ubuntu version is 12.04 running BOINC v7.0.28 that was installed via Ubuntu Package Manager. I'm not sure but you may not have any issues running WEP +2 also. Clueless about the other projects.Quote:

VM's are a different animal for me, I have installed VM's before like some years ago & ran the Test Theory Project but now after installing the VM I'm at a complete loss on what to do & how to do it, getting old sucks ... :p ... I have a VM that automatically installs the dotschux_1.2_64b_vm OS but can't figure out how to Update the BOINC Client that comes with it as many Projec'ts won't run on it as it's to old a Client ...
Okay setting the Linux Box's to always run worked for about 1 day, then the Computation Error's & Constant Restart of the Wu's began again.So now I think it's my Internet Connection, the 3 Linux Box's are Wireless & every time I lose my Connection the Linux Box's go crazy for some reason, anybody have a clue about that. Doesn't seem to affect the Wireless Windows Box's, they seem to keep running merrily along until the Connection is re-established again.
I'm trying to get a New Router to see if that helps with the dropped connection, it seems to happen a lot during the cold weather when the furnace comes on. I may have to go & reset the Router a dozen or more times a day when that happens. I had a new 8 Port Router since Oct of last year but never could get it to run, so yesterday I tried working with it again, I called Comcast & Linksys & it was determined that the WAN Port was no good :rolleyes: So I ordered a New one from Linksys since they gave me a deal on a newer model.
Since I had the other Linksys Router since Oct 2012 I figured the Company I got it from wouldn't do anything for me, but I contacted :)] them anyway about it. They told me they couldn't replace the Router since there were few of that particular model on the Market & the ones that were were mostly defective anyway. Great, a company selling known defective equipment. But who ever I talked to said he would have the Accounting Dept refund my money I paid for the Router if the was acceptable to me. I told him that was fine with me, more than I expected really but will have to wait & see if they really do refund the money ...
LOL. If you want, I can send you my parent's old [and cheap] LinkSys router which was dropping connections all the time and getting worse every day. I had them upgrade to the EA3500 dual band router. I'm using the older EA3000 series model and it has worked very well for over a year. I like that you can attach a USB printer or HDD directly to it. Yeah, it was over $100 but you get what you pay for. Rock solid and no external antennas either.Quote:

The bad news is I was just out rebooting all 3 Linux Box's to get them running again. 2 were froze up & 1 was just FUBAR ... I'm running Ubuntu 12.10, maybe I need to drop back to 12.04 ???
Maybe this is useful to you all.
Microsoft Tools for VMware Integration & Migration Jump Start

lol ... I can't even get Linux to run right let alone worry about Migrating something ...
Well I can say Windows has problems with the 'cra..y' wireless connections also. But most of the time the built in renegotiation of the wireless software hides it from the clueless Windows user. :p
There 'might' be a Linux flavor out there that tries to fix the 'wireless' problem with being dropped so much on the network connection.
I can barely understand the article, not only for technical part but also for my English that is not enough but they are always sending me these messages and sometimes I feel that can be interesting for some us. Nothing to be lost anyway maybe only a post but I think that can be useful for some of us (not for me of course).Quote:

Setting the router up was a snap, the CD that came with it did all the work I just clicked next ... lol
Yeah, but how many times did they force you to hit "Next"? :)Quote:

A simple plug in of a USB Stick could crash everything at times so I figured a re-install was best.
Well everything seemed to go okay but now BOINC won't start up after installing it, all I get is this:
poorboy@PBOYZTOY17L:~$ ~/BOINC/run_manager
./boincmgr: error while loading shared libraries: libwx_gtk2u_html-2.8.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I install's Z's Script he gave me & even did a second 32lib install but BOINC just won't start ... ??? ... So the Box is down for now until I can figure out how to get BOINC to start, going to Breakfast now, maby some Brain Food will Help ... lol
That implies the Gtku package needs to be installed. Try the following:Quote:

That package is actually a toolkit for window handling that helps make the BOINC client code more easily ported cross platform.
Thanks but no go:
poorboy@PBOYZTOY17L:~$ sudo apt-get install libwxgtk2.8-0+
EDIT: It's doing something now, just had to get the Command in there right ... rolls eyes
Okay that got BOINC started, now to see if I can transfer files from the copied BOINC Folder I copied before re-installing LInux ...
Boinc starts now but just goes thru a phase of " Retreiving current status > unable to connect to host client > disconnected "
poorboy@PBOYZTOY17L:~$ bash boinc_7.0.52_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.sh
use /home/poorboy/BOINC/run_manager to start BOINC
poorboy@PBOYZTOY17L:~$ ~/BOINC/run_manager
/home/poorboy/BOINC/boinc: error while loading shared libraries: libXss.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
EDIT: Okay I ran this >>> sudo apt-get install libwxgtk2.8-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libxss-dev
and BOINC started and connected to the client, now to see if it will take the copied files ...
Have BOINC running now, not sure anything was fixed with the reinstall of Linux though, the WUProp Wu Promptly erred out right after BOINC started so more lost Work & Hr's, if it keeps up I'll just have to put it back on Windows where it wasn't having any problems with the Wu's ...
Thanks, Mumps for getting me started anyway ...
And if you're still getting this one, that's part ofQuote:

Case is important. :)
That one is part of the interface for "Screen Saver" applications to do windows. Like the BOINC Client was originally designed to be.
I'll make Note of that Mumps .. Thanks
Help on the Linux VirtualBox, I installed the Virtualbox from the Software Package that comes with Ubuntu 12.10. The Test4Theory Wu's error out in a few seconds after starting. Is there something else I need to do to get the Test4Theory Wu's to run right ??? ... Thanks
Pretty certain the VirtualBox in the Ubuntu Repo is so old T4T won't run with it. (With my 12.04 Ubuntu it suggests 4.1.12 from the Repository, but T4T works best with 4.2.8 or maybe newer.) I normally go directly to the http://virtualbox.org site and download the relatively current distro right from there. Then you can use package manager to install it. Just right click on the downloaded file and select to open it with Ubuntu Software Center and you should get an option to install it.Quote:

I shut the other Projects off but the Wu still wouldn't start, so I disabled Test Wu's @ the Project & the Client is making a big download now, will have to wait for it to download & see if the new Wu starts ... The download may take an hour or so on the wireless box ... :rolleyes:
I think it still downloaded a MT Wu & it erred in about 25 seconds, so I deselected the CernVM & left Test Wu selected & another Wu downloaded. It was a BETA VBoxWrapper Wu, same thing the Windows Box's run on 1 Thread but it won't start even if I suspend all other work ... I think it's wanting some sort of Kernel installed, it's over my head so I'll stick with running the T4T on Windows I guess ... Thanks anyway
I get this message after installing the Oracle VBox: These Programs run from a Terminal: VBox is one of them ,,, do I need to start the VBox from the Terminal 1'st ? before trying to run the T4T Wu's in Linux ... Tried the Oracle VBox on 12.10 & 12.04 but get the errors as soon as the T4T Wu starts ... Windows works fine though by just installing the VBox ...
I have only run vbox on win and mac machines. No need to pre-start vbox on those.
