Maybe there is a problem because I installed Kali & BOINC on my C2D lappie, where it did download WCG tasks, but BOINC didn't like swapping machines. Though the machine was online & could surf the net, BOINC would do nothing except say "Update requested by user" when urged. Got the libsso problem with the Berkeley BOINC 7.0.64, but apt-get fetched & installed 7.0.27 from the supplied repositories. While it was offline, stuck in my 16G USB stick that's got Kali installed. Thought it was hardware, but it eventually responded to a repair reinstall of XP - PITA. Had a first dabble with BOINC on Linux a few days ago when my 2600K with XP-64 crashed. (Had a user a/c on the 2nd machine in the continent to run genuine Unix - version 6 on DEC PDP-11/70) BTW, lots of this Linux stuff is mumbo-jumbo to me, though I've used and administered *nix systems in the past. ? ( none 200M 0 2G 0% /var/lib/boinc-client/slots <- ) In your `df -h`output, the "Size" of the ramdisc is shown as 200M not 2G. (Link?) Do you periodically suspend BOINC and copy a snapshot of the data onto non-volatile storage, or does the RAMdisc driver automatically do journalling onto a n-v medium? Adjust accordingly if different than stock.Only downside is (was) you'd lose all your data every time you restart, and I've already fixed that issue.Can't see the fix, but I haven't been following this topic. You shouldn't have to bother with the MAC address or port number if each host is using the standard 31416 port address. You can highlight the ****** field and it will populate and allow you to manually enter that hosts password in its gui_rpc_auth.cfg file and hit enter and the status should change to connected. If any computer listed is not shown as connected, the reason why not will be shown as for example Password in the Status field means BT could not connect because the password is unknown or incorrect. Then the Computers tab will show all the computers BT found with their IP address, the Password field, the BOINC version running, the Platform it is on, Linux or Windows and finally the Status of either Connected or not. Just toggle each of the found computers and then Add Selected will populate all the computers. A list should come up with all the computers currently running BOINC with their IP addresses and one computer just listed as local host which is the one running WINE with the BoincTasks instance running. If you have set all the passwords the same in the gui_rpc_auth.cfg files on all your hosts, then you can input the password on that page in advance. Put in the subnet for your network and select scan address range. Hi Mikey, you should just be able to use the Computers menu choice and the Find Computers option. The other thing I like about Mint is that I can load it on one machine and then take that harddrive and put in a very different machine and after a reboot it automatically loads all the drivers it needs and it's off and running with no problems. Now I have not been able to figure out how to remote in from my other machines yet so I can sit in my recliner and check on my Linux pc's like I can with my Windows pc's, but I'm working on it. I also add Boinc to the auto-start section so it automatically comes up if the pc reboots. I do have to go into the video drivers section and check the box to use the Nvidia driver and then reboot it again once it finishes loading and reboots off the harddrive instead of the cd, after that I use the Synaptic app finder to load Boinc and it just works. Win10 has given me problems lately with some of my hardware so I've been switching to Linux Mint, I've been using the latest version 19.1 and it's fast to load and just works for me. I install it on a 120gb SSD drive and it's fast. Just be sure to click the box to allow 3rd party drivers near the beginning of the install. I've had no trouble with the Mint distros unless you are trying to run an AMD gpu, then I still haven't gotten it to work, but it works just fine with an Nvidia gpu.
