gday
after much digging I have found out what is causing this..
my apologies to the community...
It not my computer; nor set-up; (ZAPPDOG - I use the Terminal just to check to see if all libraries, etc work); nor the personal file space; nor my dodgy typing thumbs....
apparently its my ISP and a number of the Australian community have experienced this same issues with said ISP - neither is help given by said ISP...
I am changing ISP in a couple of months - so will try BOINC then... <Sigh!>
BAH! too many hours wasted!!!
cheers

Hi Folks

Okay, I've got BOINC running and I have added seti@home. Now I'm trying to run Show Graphics from the BOINC manager but I'm getting an error in the console:

execv: Permission denied

Can someone perhaps help - I don't quite know yet what I'm doing when it comes to BOINC

Thanks
Jannetta

G'day,
Similar question to Janetta except with a slight twist... I am not able to get the graphics going - I don't get a message or anything - it just doesn't work.
Is there a way to enable to graphics to work in seti? or
Is the graphics enabled in Linux BOINC? - I've checked posts dated 2004 that it wasn't - I suspect things have changed..

Cheers
Martin

BOINC updated to have a more automatic startup (thanks Anti) without modifying rc.local and to fix it not working on new installs. Embarassed

If your upgrading from a previous BOINC, then go into /etc/rc.d/rc.local and delete the BOINC startup line:

Hi guys. I'm running Boinc no prob.....but.....I am limited in disk space. I have preferences set no problem to 10 GB but when I look at the disk it only has a couple of hundred MB in use. So I'm confused. Is Puppy limiting my available disk space somehow? Sorry in advance if this is a dumb question or has already been addressed somewhere.
Chris.

BOINC updated to 6.10.17.

if your upgrading, remove old boinc from petget manager, then install this one and reboot. =)

line in /etc/rc.d/rc.local is no longer needed. Remove it if it is there.
