I uploaded a WU from linux (see my PCs) But it doesn't show on the website! (See the linux PC's result) I'm I going to get credit for it ?

---

Even though the finished wu uploaded it might not have reported yet. I would add "-return_results_immediately" when you run the executable.

Dunc

---

I dont know how to do that (Im new in Linux) But that this mean that I havent lost the WU.. and that It will take longer to report it.. right ?

If you are running from the command line you just add the flag after the executable.

eg

# ./boinc_4.19_etc-linux-gnu -return_results_immediately

It is not lost. If you run boincview you can monitor the linux client (from a windows box on the same network).

What flavour linux are you running?

Dunc

I don't know what a flavour is... is it the version or the destributor? I have Mandrake Linux 10.1 and the version of linux is on my computers page..

---

How do you start boinc on that system?

As far as I know, you uncompress BOINC then you select properties on the BOINC File then you select Permissions and you check "is executable". Then, Go to "Run command" and copy the location of BOINC.

I tried using BOINCView on my Windows XP Box, but on the linux BOINC says: "Unallowed acces from XXX.XXX.XXX(my IP)" I have a router, and how do I allow to make the BOINCViewer to see my Linux Machine Stats?? And I use "Run command" to start BOINC, I can make go with the terminal.

Normally BIONC disallows connections from outside the machine its running on. You can tell it to allow specific machines though, works best with a configuration file.

Just create a file called remote_hosts.cfg in your boinc directory - thats on your Linux box. Put one line in it with the IP address of your XP machine - thats the IP address you see in the message.

There are other ways to run BOINC other than in a terminal by way of a "run command". Check these pages:

Command line options are here.

Instructions for running on Unix are here.

Thanks, I've just reinstalled linux (I think I screwed things up) and I've got to tell you, DOS is not my "forte" so now I'm doing what I can and I hope it works.. And thatnks for the "allowing" my XP box tip!

But which one is the Command-line interface, or the Core client? I tried every command but I press enter and it just goes to the next "line" and ignores it. (I haven't gotten any work yet, but I don't think that is the reason)

What are you trying to do? And what commands are you entering that gets ignored?

I'm trying to learn how to use BOINC, I did used it before but I just didn't know how to control it, so I started all over again. Oh yea, I'll tell you what I do to get BOINC started, I use the "Run Command" tool, i write down the location, and then BOINC starts on "konsole". But then I don't know how to control it (or how to tell BOINC to update or stop). And i also don't know how to run it.. I can get into the directory (with cd) but i cant make it run without the Run command.

Try the instructions in that second link, the one here.

What its missing is you first open a terminal window and enter the commands there. Can't remember how to do it, my system (Redhat 9) has that as a right-menu option, other desktops have a button in the taskbar.

You enter the commands in the terminal window. After you get BOINC up and running you can look at other options - like setting up a BOINC user or running as a service. But its better to get it running under your account first.

Ok, I'll try that tomorrow.. But how do you launch a rpgramm from the command line? with "./" or what ?

If its in your current directory, yes.

You can also use wildcards so if you have a progam named boinc_4.19_i686-pc-linux-gnu, you can enter

./boinc_4.19*

or

./boinc*gnu

and it'll run.

I am going to refer to the executable as <B>boinc</B> for simplicity. In the standard archive from Berkeley, it's called <B>boinc_4.19_i686-pc-linux-gnu</B>. You can rename it:

<B>mv boinc_4.19_i686-pc-linux-gnu boinc</B>

or create a symlink to it:

<B>ln -sf boinc_4.19_i686-pc-linux-gnu boinc</B>

Then you need to make sure it is executable:

<B>chmod +x boinc</B>

Now Linux does not, by default, include the current directory in the path so you need to specify that to run it:

<B>./boinc</B>

To make it run in the background and return to the prompt, type this:

<B>./boinc &</B>

You can add any command line arguments you need like so:

<B>./boinc -return_results_immediately &</B>

Now, as I tried to explain previously, it will still output it's messages to the console so it's a good idea to redirect those to a file:

<B>./boinc -return_results_immediately >>/var/log/boinc.log 2>&1 &</B>

That's it. Boinc will now be running in the background and sending it's messages to <B>/var/log/boinc.log</B>. Once you have created your <B>remote_hosts.cfg</B> in the boinc directory, you can control boinc from your Windows machine with BoincView.

To exit boinc, type the following on your Linux machine:

<B>killall boinc</B>

Hope that gets you going. :)

Be lucky

"http://home.comcast.net/~mini_ziper/intro.html" i use that after or before i execute BOINC, i tried before, but it says that "there is no such file or directory" and I did launch BOINC with "Shell*Konsole" instead of "Run command..."

Ok, im getting closer! i think thanks!
