I've just created a Debian team, so if you use that distro and are not a member of a team yet, why not join?

Team created for Debian GNU/Linux users

Maybe because that team has already been created....

http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/team_display.php?teamid=768

And you can join there.

Slightly but not completely

Slightly but not completely off-thread, please help spread the word:
the full-featured BOINC GUI for Linux is finally available (experimental but works for me). See the bottom of this page:


http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php?dev=1

This is a self-extracting shell archive. Change it to executable and run it.
The BOINC GUI lets you display the Einstein@Home graphics, and do lots of other nice control.

Cheers,
Bruce

Director, Einstein@Home

Speaking of compiling on a Debian thread,
this page
has directions for compiling the BOINC client. The page also links to some
Debian source packages
for this. However, those packages are called 'boinc-client-seti'. Does that mean they only do work for SETI@home?

Message 3851 in response to message 3849

Bruce,

I downloaded it and tried to install it but failed. I know it's because I know very little about Linux (but am trying to learn). I didn't make it an exec first. I know I've seen it stated elsewhere how to do it, but I can't remember for sure. Could you please tell me how to do it? If it helps, I am running Debian Linux.

Jim

I downloaded it with no problem but when I execute the run_client command it starts from the "enter url / enter account key" point (at that point I aborted it fearing it would attach me again if I continued). If I just execute the boincmgr program, it launches and looks nice and all - but it doesn't connect to anything so it has no data.

Message 3853 in response to message 3851

I got BOINC installed on my linux machine now, but it hasn't contacted any of the servers yet. I think I may have something messed up on that box.

Just to answer a couple of questions before they are asked....

Yes, i can reach the internet on this box. in fact, I had a previous version of boinc running on this box. I STILL don't know exactly how I accomplished the task. LOL Anyway, it was connecting to the servers. now that I have downloaded and installed the latest devel ver of BOINC for Linux it doesn't want to attache to the projects. The log did not indicate any network problems. I know what my laptop's logs look like when I am not on my home network.
