I'm a really really really newbe in this matter. Sorry if this is not the right place to ask this.
My PC runs SuSE 10.1 and BOINC looks to work fine. I examine now and again the logs and there is no problem, but  I would like to see some friendly information like a graphical screesavers or so. Where can I search for this information? Wich forum must I visit?Sorry once again for spending a few CPU cycles in this question  Thanks from Spain. |

The current Linux version doesn't support screensavers.
You can view the graphics by running BOINC Manager and clicking on the "Graphics" button. Please ask if you need further directions. |

I do not want to create a new thread so I'll post here. I run OpenSUSE 10.2, two days ago I registered here, downloaded and gui (manager) worked gently:
----------------------------------------[img]http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/6558/griddy7.th.jpg[/img] But now, when I try to run it in a console it says: dawid@pingwin:~/bin/BOINC> ./run_manager & [1] 10834 dawid@pingwin:~/bin/BOINC> boincmgr: xcb_xlib.c:41: xcb_xlib_lock: Warunek zapewnienia `!c->xlib.lock' nie został spełniony. Where(+/-): "Warunek zapewnienia"->assurance of condition [...] "nie został spełniony"->"has not been fullfiled" What I have done before it was upgrading Xorg 7.2-rc3 to 7.2-final (propably, though it has not been announced at http://x.org yet), and among packages there was sth like 'xorg-x11-libxcb' - I've tried to downgrade it but the message doesn't change Any suggestions? |

.... What I have done before it was upgrading Xorg 7.2-rc3 to 7.2-final (propably, though it has not been announced at http://x.org yet), and among packages there was sth like 'xorg-x11-libxcb' - I've tried to downgrade it but the message doesn't change Any suggestions? and post a question there to the KDE team if your running KDE, which I believe you may, but I cannot tell from your screen shot. Any way they make direct you to the Gnome site folks. If that is what your using. hope this helps Also you need to send more general and then specific system info for a better answer. Sorry but it's hard to do guess work in today's variety of system soft/hard-ware. Create a little text file with the info and save it for cut and paste if needed for future needs. PaulT |

Check out the URL in my post above https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread?thread=11411 I've noticed it even earlier you you posted here. Yes it's a kde, apparently it was upgraded, at the same time as X.org, from 3.5.5 to 3.5.6, but I don't think it has any impact on (my guess from look&feel) gtk-based gui from package provided by this site (not qt/kde based kboincmgr). And as I said it was running (gui - boincmgr) flawlessly on the same hardware, older software., it all changed after today morning upgrade (software). Wait... - gtk was upgraded as well  So I suspect 2 software packages causing to stop running boinc gui - gtk: gtk-1.2.10-926 and xorg-xcb (xorg-x11-libxcb-7.2-16.6).Also you need to send more general and then specific system info for a better answer. Sorry but it's hard to do guess work in today's variety of system soft/hard-ware. Create a little text file with the info and save it for cut and paste if needed for future needs. Is there an ability to automatically create such an info file? About that kde apps - I installed it from source (fedora rpm not compatible with suse), and I run a ~/bin/BOINC/boinc : dawid@pingwin:~/bin/BOINC> 2007-01-27 20:46:32 [---] Starting BOINC client version 5.4.11 for i686-pc-linux-gnu 2007-01-27 20:46:32 [---] libcurl/7.16.0 OpenSSL/0.9.8d zlib/1.2.3 2007-01-27 20:46:32 [---] Data directory: /home/dawid/bin/BOINC 2007-01-27 20:46:32 [---] Processor: 2 GenuineIntel Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6400 @ 2.13GHz 2007-01-27 20:46:32 [---] Memory: 1010.62 MB physical, 2.01 GB virtual 2007-01-27 20:46:32 [---] Disk: 163.27 GB total, 87.08 GB free 2007-01-27 20:46:33 [World Community Grid] URL: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/; Computer ID: 107707; location: ; project prefs: default 2007-01-27 20:46:33 [---] General prefs: from World Community Grid (last modified 2007-01-26 08:53:56) 2007-01-27 20:46:33 [---] General prefs: using your defaults 2007-01-27 20:46:33 [---] Local control only allowed 2007-01-27 20:46:33 [---] Listening on port 31416 Then I run 'kboincmgr', it's icon appears in system-doc-tray, I click it, file->connect [localhost; port: 31416] and I get 'no projects - probable connection failure  Thank you for the attention! ---------------------------------------- |
