Do you have a website that details TBAR's procedure?

Yeah, I'll get it in shape and post a link. 

I think that would help alot, thanks!!

Well, this took a bit longer than planned.

(Does the term "scope creep" ring a bell, anyone?)

But I've got a web page together that documents doing TBAR's AIO, and have documented, updated and tested the package for later releases as well.

I'd appreciate any feedback or corrections, as applicable. I'm going to link a few other things related to BOINC on both Linux and Windows that might be useful.

Just my small attempt to give back a bit, in honor of the folks that gave me so much patient help as I was getting started.

The page is located here.

Many thanks to Jim for

Many thanks to Jim for putting up this updated guide to the Berkeley installer version of the AIO (All-in-One) Boinc installation.

Now . . . . New! With shiny bold flavor!

I've been using a variant of TBar's AIO for years as the default Team client.  Simplifies managing Boinc and its projects immensely compared to the sometime, flaky, faulty distro released versions of Boinc.

My pleasure! It's been fun

My pleasure! It's been fun putting this together, and I hope others will find it useful.

I'll be adding a few other things to the page, including links into the BOINC site related to installation and operation that are sometimes hard to find. Also have a few fun things I've done here regarding system status and operation that I'll add links to and info about.

Happy Memorial Day, all.

Yeah probably..sorry...here's the Linux directions:

Install software

 

Instructions

Download for Debian

We recommend installing the BOINC client directly from the Ubuntu/Debian repositories.

  1. In a terminal window, run the following command:




    sudo apt install boinc-client boinc-manager








Set the BOINC client to automatically start after you restart your computer:

sudo systemctl enable boinc-client

Start the BOINC client:

sudo systemctl start boinc-client

Allow group access to client access file:

sudo chmod g+r /var/lib/boinc-client/gui_rpc_auth.cfg

Add your Linux user to the BOINC group to allow the BOINC Manager to communicate with the BOINC client:

sudo usermod -a -G boinc $USER

Allow your terminal to pick up the privileges of the new group:

exec su $USER

In the same terminal window, start the BOINC Manager:

boincmgr -d /var/lib/boinc-client

  1. When BOINC Manager opens, select World Community Grid from the list of BOINC projects then enter your World Community Grid username and password.

  2. When these steps are completed, you should see a screen to confirm that you've been successfully signed up to World Community Grid.

You have downloaded the Ubuntu/Debian software.
