I get the following errors when I try to run the BOINC manager under SuSE Linux 10.0.
I am relatively new to Linux, but I know this should be possible. Also everytime I try to connect to the website from within the run_manager, it launches the text browser in sh instead of Firefox. Firefox is set as my default browser throughout the rest of the system. Can anyone help me? kseise@blackbox:~/BOINC> ./run_manager Gdk-WARNING **: Missing charsets in FontSet creation Gdk-WARNING **: JISX0208.1983-0 Gdk-WARNING **: KSC5601.1987-0 Gdk-WARNING **: GB2312.1980-0 Gdk-WARNING **: JISX0201.1976-0 connect: Connection refused connect: Operation now in progress init_poll: get_socket_error(): 111 init_poll: get_socket_error(): 111 init_poll: get_socket_error(): 111 init_poll: get_socket_error(): 111 init_poll: get_socket_error(): 111 init_poll: get_socket_error(): 111 init_poll: get_socket_error(): 111 init_poll: get_socket_error(): 111 init_poll: get_socket_error(): 111 init_poll: get_socket_error(): 111 init_poll: get_socket_error(): 111 init_poll: get_socket_error(): 111 init_poll: get_socket_error(): 111 init_poll: get_socket_error(): 111 init_poll: get_socket_error(): 111 init_poll: get_socket_error(): 111 |

You seem to have a couple of problems there.
The font warnings I think you can ignore. None of them are required fonts. What locale are you set to? That may be the problem. The connection error is the same error you will get if boinc isn't running when you launch the manager. Is boinc running? You will get the same error for a few other reasons, too. As for the browser thing, as far as I can tell the path to your preferred browser should be stored in the BROWSER environment variable. |

It seems the client was not running. Thanks for that.
On the locale issue, I don't know where to set it. I also don't know how to change the BROWSER variable. I poked around, but I can't seem to find where to put it. Any help would be really appreciated. |

Some rather confused advice here:
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=661 The bottom line is, if there isn't a nice fancy GUI to set it for you, you must add it to one of the startup scripts yourself. |

I have the client running smoothly now. I followed the tutorial and edited (as root) /etc/profile I included the line BROWSER="/usr/bin/firefox" The program still launches a text browser by default. Any more suggestions? |

ok , now i bought a new disk and put suse 10.0 on it, then boinc client, have attatched proj and am now running but for some reason is only on one core of my dual core machine, hmm ran becnhmarks.. client can see 2 cores,, i am pretty sure i have default linux client set for multicore,, hmmm we shall see, any ideas??
doi have to wait for w/u return 1st before change setup????? need to get both cores crunching else i will have to change back to the old ubuntu setup ( fortuantely is on a sep disk so i would just have to unplug one disk and swap and ready to go yeah) i think suse is more setup so i am aiming for it |
