Ive got a Core i5 machine that I prefer to keep as clean as possible at my home, so normally I don't run WCG on it. However I do run WCG on it through Ubuntu whenever I'm not using it for long periods of time.
Ive wanted to have it run WCG at boot, ive gotten this to work by making a shell script run at startup with the following commands: cd "/home/ubuntu/BOINC" && exec ./boinc This works however the executed WCG tasks only use at MOST 50% of the CPU :( Does anyone know how to help me? |

My current 'quick' solution is to have a shortcut on the desktop (because it takes too long through the terminal :P all 5 seconds longer) that changes my directory and executes BOINC and that works fine :S
It seems to be a on-boot only problem. |

I start Boinc on Ubuntu by running
sudo service boinc-client start(in the terminal), then I get 100% CPU use automatically. This starts just the client, the cruncher, with nothing visible on the desktop. To enable/disable the boinc-client service so it starts automatically at boot I'm using rcconf (terminal again). There is probably a desktop option as well, try System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications. |
