Another confused user: <buzz-cp> i'm trying to use the gui app <buzz-cp> boincmgr <buzz-cp> it gives me an error <MTughan> What error? <buzz-cp> well it just says Error in simple view <PovAddict> prints that to console? <buzz-cp> gui <PovAddict> hmm <PovAddict> post a screenshot? <PovAddict> what Linux distro? * PovAddict slaps Romulus with his /etc/init.d scripts <buzz-cp> PovAddict: http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/5958/200904112013171440x900s.png <buzz-cp> btw I am using Ubuntu 8.10 <PovAddict> BOINC installed from apt? <buzz-cp> Yes <PovAddict> the version from apt says "pre-release"? weird <buzz-cp> ya <PovAddict> try starting BOINC Manager from your desktop environment app launcher <PovAddict> (like the K Menu on KDE, or the "Applications" menu on GNOME) <PovAddict> instead of boincmgr on the console <buzz-cp> using fluxbox, not in my menu <PovAddict> ok <PovAddict> then cd to /var/lib/boinc-client, and run boincmgr <buzz-cp> oh <MTughan> That file is where the boinc daemon looks for a connection password. The manager should pick it up automatically, but it only searches for the file in the current directory. <MTughan> Hence why the manager has to/should be run from /var/lib/boinc-client. <buzz-cp> awesome <buzz-cp> I think I'm back on track <buzz-cp> quick q tho: how to I run the command so that it is in the right path (i.e. to put in my ~/.fluxbox/menu file <PovAddict> cd /var/lib/boinc-client && boincmgr
