PPL, Can you check if you get the stderrgfx.txt file in the slots directory when you start the graphics for either faah or cep2? Seippel Hi Seippel. I checked a running cep slot dir and the only things with gfx in them was gfxlock & graphics_app. And I checked a running mcm task again and it only had the graphics_app, NO gfxlock file? f.y.i. I'm looking in the /var/lib/boinc-client/slots/#slot Hope it helps. |

PPL,
It should be in the slots directory, but to be thorough, can you check if anything is output with this command? find /var/lib/boinc-client/ -name stderrgfx.txt -ls If this doesn't find any stderrgfx.txt files, can you go the main WCG webpage, scroll down to the bottom and click "contact us" and reference this thread? The next set of steps may be somewhat lengthy. Seippel |

Hi Seippel.
I tried that this is what I got back, do I need to change something? peter@Intel-i7-2700K:~$ find /var/lib/boinc-client/ -name stderrgfx.txt -ls find: `/var/lib/boinc-client/.nv': Permission denied find: `/var/lib/boinc-client/projects': Permission denied find: `/var/lib/boinc-client/slots': Permission denied find: `/var/lib/boinc-client/notices': Permission denied I'll do the other contact thing as well I guess. |

Prefix your command with 'sudo' as common users don't have access rights to the boinc project folders. Suggest to reinstall from the ubuntu software center. That will reset permissions if that would be an issue and also makes sure the rights will proliferate down when slot folders are created. Doubt though that is the problem regarding the graphics absence. Graphics and science are separate programs in boinc, meaning the science will not crash if the graphics fails.

Seippel,
----------------------------------------used sudo find /var/lib/boinc-client/ -name stderrgfx.txt -ls but found no files Had same as P.P.L. without sudo as permissions allow only owner(BOINC) and group access. Paul.

Hi Seippel.
----------------------------------------I got your e-mails, so it doesn't matter where or how I run the gxf app. Doesn't it have to be linked to a running task to get any info. Can you let me know all the steps/details for running it to get the info you want, just post here or e-mail me if you like. thanks.
