Hi.

I just checked the process and see below, but you want me to change them from me back to boinc.

Process Name | boinc | | User | boinc / usr/bin/boinc -check_all_logins -redirectio - dir/var/lib/boinc-client

Process Name | boincmgr | User | peter | / user/bin/boincmgr [ the highlighted parts comes up I when mouse over.

edit 1 / I'll try that at start up in the morning.

Just tried this on an old Dotsch/UX system that also did not do MCM graphics.

No show but below in terminal window:
(boincmgr:21306): Gtk-WARNING **: /build/buildd/gtk+2.0-2.14.4/gtk/gtkwidget.c:9042: widget class `GtkPizza' has no property named `row-ending-details'

Edit: Now tried on 14.04 LTS:

paul@USB3-A:~$ sudo -u boinc /usr/bin/boincmgr
[sudo] password for paul:
No protocol specified
No protocol specified
Error: Unable to initialize gtk, is DISPLAY set properly?

Above did not launch BOINC, below worked, got error first time but not after that.
paul@USB3-A:~$ sudo /usr/bin/boincmgr
SIGSEGV: segmentation violation
Stack trace (27 frames):
/usr/bin/boincmgr(boinc_catch_signal+0x7b)[0x8147f8b]

Paul.

The MCM1 graphics are newer and built with a later version of the BOINC api. Creating the stderrgfx.txt is done very early on, so this file not being created suggests the problem is before any code in the graphics application itself gets executed.

PPL: I was able to recreate the problem on Ubuntu 12.04 and running the manager as boinc successfully displayed the graphics for MCM1. You shouldn't need to reboot, just stop the manager (the gui application). The process for the boinc core client (/usr/bin/boinc) should continue to run. The you can start the manager from the command as boinc/root.

PMH_UK: Does that mean you were able to show the graphics for MCM1?

I've also emailed the BOINC developers about the problem.

Hi Seippel.

Do you think it's worth trying a later Boinc version, would that even make a difference in this case, I found a this Debian package it's a bit newer then what I have on both rigs.

wheezy-backports stable-bpo: Package: boinc (7.2.47+dfsg-3~bpo70+1)

I'm not keen on the beta versions, I've had enough of them in the past.

thanks.

Hi.

I tried to update boinc software on my 12.04lts rig using the ( wheezy-backports

stable-bpo: package: boinc (7.2.47+dfsg-3~bpo70+1) it failed because of to many

unmet dependencies, about 3 missing files by memory. I guess there's to much difference

between wheezy & Ubuntu and I can't be bothered to chase them up and install them.

So it's back to 7.0.27 for now.
