I think I have Boinc installed and now I want to add a GUI for my viewing pleasure. I tried KBoincSpy and it would crash when I tried to start it. Then I tried Seti@Boinc Tracker, The instructions said do ./qmake and there is no qmake in the folder? Next I tried Boincgui, It ran about six hours installing and I finally cancelled it. So has anyone out there been sucessfull with a GUI under Mandrake 10.0 with KDE? Thanks Alan |

BOINCprog is a minimalist GUI progress monitor. You can see a screenshot at http://www2.gol.com/users/trane/programming/programming.html. It ships as a compiled binary (with source) and is known to run on at least SuSE 9.1, Ubuntu 4.10 and Slackware 10.0, so I suspect Mandrake should work. BOINCprog runs as a KDE panel app (configurable). |

I wanted to find out if anyone else had a simular problem as I. It is very likely I did something wrong and someone might be able to straighten me out. Or tell me if it worked for them, so I can keep plugging away at it. Thanks...Alan :) |

I tried the Boincprog and it didn't work either. It did some wierd things when trying to vi startboincprog file. Then it would complain about line 44 and displayed a screwed up path. I have no clue what is wrong. I'm not sure even how to tell if Boinc is actually running. I tried top and ps -aux and nothing "boinc" appears. Maybe its not running to begin with maybe causeing the monitors not to work right?? no idea. The instructions are very vague on most of this stuff. Anyone have any ideas? Someone out there must have this running on Mandrake. Alan |

I fiddled around with it and got it to work. The readme files says to change two paths to match your system. I ended up putting them back to the orginal paths and it worked. I about gave up then I noticed a couple of "B"'s in the taskbar, DOH! Alan |
