@clownius If you enable desktop sharing in gnome then you can use a vnc viewer as clownius suggested to control your linux boxes. |

Im told RealVNC has a good free version. I'll try this again. I didn't get it to work the first time I tried and since it was a couple of weeks and 20 or 30 computer issues ago, I don't remember why it didn't work. Thanks. |

@clownius I have desktop sharing enabled, but I had problems with various VNC Viewers. I'll try again. I tried Cygwin and was thinking about Xming. They're too "UX" technical for me. I been using WinSCP to move files around, but want to be able to start/stop BOINC and start/stop the Linux computers from a remote Windows machine using a GUI interface. Thanks. |

Are we talking on the same physical network or really remotely (across the net)?

Are we talking on the same physical network or really remotely (across the net)? Same physical network. I have an office in the house with cable modem (active DSL backup) and router. Five Windows computers in the office on small switch with CAT5 cable that runs to computer room in garage. The BOINC computers (seven Windows, five Linux) are in the computer room. All on 192.168.2.n IP Addresses. The Windows computers all have pcAnywhere and the Linux all have SSH and Samba active. Eleven computers in the computer room are on two cascaded KVMs. The one Windows computer I use to "manage" the farm is not on KVM. |

Boincview is what you need then :) Runs on windoze but can monitor Linux computers just as easily as it can windoze ones.

I'm not anywhere good enough with Linux to know how to do everything (anything is probably more accurate) from the command line. I have learned how to fumble around with the GUI (locally), so if I have that available, I can keep the Linux boxes going. |

I think Ubuntu 6.10 uses the source of BOINC 5.4.11 for it's compiled versions. Here's the URL that lists the client version for Edgy Eft:

If I remember correctly his name was Daniele from somewhere in Italy. And you're right he said he had to prepare for exams; hope they went okay so he can come back and help out :-)
We had a Debian fan who mentioned that there was a version customized for Debian and Ubuntu, but I haven't noticed a post by her since mid December, when she said she was taking finals. It's a shame because Daniela (not sure I spelled that right) was very helpful to Linux people in these message boards. ____________ D@H the greatest project in the world... a while from now! |

I'm running Ubuntu 6.10 on my main machine now - used to be Windows Server but I got sick of waiting 20 minutes for it to start up and didn't have a spare licence for Windows XP.

Hi, I found it to be easy to install BOINC from the Berkeley URL. You also won't have to wait for someone to put new versions in a repository before you can upgrade them. |

Will that script take care of the ulimit issue with Ubuntu? |

No, I don't think so. But if you add "ulimit -s unlimited" as a separate line after the intial comments (lines with #), it should do the job, I guess. I use the run_manager script (currently with BM 5.8.1) instead and have added the ulimit fix (and the browser path) there, however. Regards Alex ____________ |

Do you mean you run BOINC on your computers from the manager, rather than directly from the client? |

I have 3 Kubuntu 6.10 and 6.06.1 machines. im happy to help out where i can. If you install the 5.4.11 from the debian repositories upgrading to 5.8.3 is as simple as copy and pasting 3 files.

Download 5.8.3 from the BOINC site. Actually, you don't have to copy those 3 files to /usr/bin/

Yes, indeed. Can't see any significant impact on performance. Do you expect any disadvantages? Regards Alex |

There is a performance impact. I'm not experienced enough yet with running BOINC on Linux to know how much impact. I'll attempt to get some numbers. Previously, many Windows users found that running the client under the manager cost several percent of the CPU and BoincView cost even more if run continuously. I can see the performance monitor in Ubuntu takes 2 or more percent, but I have not tested the manager up to this point. I settled on Ubuntu over Kubuntu as KDE interface seemed to consume more resources than the Gnome interface. I learned to run BOINC from the client and then just run the manager for a GUI interface to change something. |

If you are only going to run the commandline client, you might as well get rid of the gui alltogether. Just boot into init level 3 (no gui) instead of 5 (gui). This will save you quite a bit of memory and cpu cycles.

This will save you quite a bit of memory and cpu cycles. Too much of a nub to know how to do that yet. I try to do all the BOINC management with Boinc Manager and BoincView from a Windows machine. I felt good that I managed to get Linux on the computers, configured and BOINC running with a GUI. Now I can take the time to learn how to turn the Linux GUI off or on. I tried Xubuntu with the minimal GUI and decided it was too hard to do all the initial install and configuration....the Gnome interface just seemed more intuitive to me. Guess I'll just have to build another cruncher to make up for the resources consumed by the GUI on my existing machines...... :-) |

A little off topic but not too far. Im currently in the middle of setting up some help pages for installing Kubuntu Linux and very soon on running BOINC on this. Saves around AU$150 a cruncher (on XP...id hate to think how much on Vista(depends on how many cores you run doesn't it?)) when building new boxes (or resurrecting old ones).
