Hi I've installed the boinc Screen Saver on my PC. However it does not seem to work. I get a screensaver loading message and nothing more. How do I get the screen saver to work? Am I missing something? Michael B. |

The screen saver is a duo part thing here. It requires a separate graphics application in combination with the science application. As far as I know, only Windows and Mac OS have these, they weren't built for Linux. So you just have the BOINC screen saver. See also https://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/BOINC_screensaver and check there which options you have to run the screen saver. I'd disable the project screen saver, thus set Run project screensavers for to Never. |

OK. So no screen saver for Linux. No problem. Thanks. Michael B. |
