    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).

    Giot the new Router in Place, it's just a EA2700 from Linksys, the Network seems a lot snappier for now anyway but will have to reserve judgement for a few months to see how it holds up. 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"?

    Re: Ubuntu instruction

    I re-installed Linux on 1 Box this morning, way to many problems with it & running BOINC, was losing 50% or more of the work I was doing due to Network Problems & BOINC just Crashing Wu's for no reason at all that I could see. 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
    poorboy@PBOYZTOY17L:~$

    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:

    poorboy@PBOYZTOY17L:~$ sudo apt-get install libwxgtk2.8-0+

    That package is actually a toolkit for window handling that helps make the BOINC client code more easily ported cross platform.

    Re: Ubuntu instruction

    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 ...

    Re: Ubuntu instruction

    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 ...

    Re: Ubuntu instruction

    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 of

    poorboy@PBOYZTOY17L:~$ sudo apt-get install libXss1+

    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.
