Hi,
I want to donate some cpu time to this project using boinc softwrae from debian's repository. however, when trying to add worldcommunitygrit to projects, I always get the message: Log-In failed using the same account i can login to this website with. anyone any hints? I don't want to install non-repository software, when possible. btw, is it possible to set the search to only return threads with matching posts? |

Hi,
----------------------------------------Think to remember we had a few of these some months ago and the techs getting involved for a solution, which may be the security software mangling things... but that's on Debian less likely. Would have to search using the Advanced search link above. http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/search To refine searches use boolean AND / OR or + such as log+in+failed and you find your own post. ttyl [Edit 2 times, last edit by Former Member at Jan 16, 2011 5:07:52 PM] |

I would also like to see the boinc wcg client packaged for debian. I have some (not many) debian linux devices running the software, and i had to go through some hoops to get it running on all of them (like manually install, set up a secondary x screen with auto login). Also, there's no way that i'm gonna update the client manually on each of them. A packaged versions would help greatly.

It may be beneficial to many, also including the BOINC Debian packagers, to see your experiences at some googled web page. Maybe you could find a place on wiki.debian.org/BOINC to write bits up? Also, there's no way that i'm gonna update the client manually on each of them. A packaged versions would help greatly. Updates are done automatically for you, if I am not erroneous. SM |

Well, what can I say.. I'l have to admit I was wrong and thanks for the pointer:
the boinc client in the debian repo works as it should and is remotely manageable via boinccmd. |

If on Ubuntu and other Linux Distro's it may happen automatically, depending on how the update prefs are set in Synaptic/Software Center and what ppa in the repository source library. Certainly mine upgraded from the GetDeb maintainers ppa v 6.10.58 dbrf2 to the official Ubuntu kit 6.10.58 dbrf3, after it offered the new release and I ticked apply. --//-- PS, maybe you are thinking of the science apps... they do automatically update if there is a new version, no permission asked :) |

I personally do not care so much about the client's version. What runs should not be touched IMHO. |
