Does anyone know if the linux client will have graphics? i.e. screensaver |

It's going to be an CLI only for linux as far as I know |

I am intested to see if they include some sort of xwindows interface, climateprediction does, but seti@home doesnt... I am also waiting oin the linxu client as I ahev two machines here that will munch linux LHC units. |

We have thought of porting our screensaver to linux, it shouldn't be too hard in itself. Biggest problem is that CLI BOINC client does not support screen savers. So the screensaver would have to be a seperate process which communicates with the sixtrack client somehow. Meaning that amount of glue needed exceeds our current capacity. For the X interface... I think there are some generic BOINC X GUIs, but I haven't tested nor seen any. Markku Degerholm LHC@home Admin |

Boincgui 0.4 only supported up to 3.18, and it only shows progress, cpu time..etc. If your team could port the screensaver or an xinterface that would be greatly appreciated by those of us running only nix boxes... |

The climateprediction is a saperate addon that you run from a shell script that talks to the boinc interface and does the impressive cliamteprediuction graphics. Is nice to see soemtimes how the process is going in graphics. I have got some of the linux boinc viewers and they some of the windows gui interface. All good things take time to improve, and you guys have a lot in the startup to control. 73 de Peter VK3AVE |

Not much in the way of graphics, I know, but I have a little BOINC progress app I wrote in Kylix. It works on systems where only a single CPU is crunching (but supports multiple projects on that CPU). Basically, it shows current progress for the project currently running.

Last time I checked, boincview ran ok under wine. ______________________________________________________________ Did your tech wear a static strap? No? Well, there ya go! :p |

BOINCprog 1.1.1 is released. Now runs as a KDE or Gnome tray applet and displays the BOINC install dir as the window title to better support multi-system monitoring over NFS. http://www2.gol.com/users/trane/programming/programming.html trane |

BOINCprog 1.1.2 has been released at Trane's Programming Page. This is a minor maintenance release that fixes segfaults for systems running the 2.6.8+ kernels compiled with the exec-shield patch (e.g., Red Hat Fedora Core 2). trane |
