I have installed the boinc client and manager from debian unstable, and started the project. for some reason, when I click on \"show graphics\", nothing happens |

Is the Status of the model \"Running\"? Did you click on the model to select it before clicking \"Show graphics\"? Backups: Here |

yes. I did all that. I only get a postage stamp sized graphic on the \"simple interface\". |

The picture on the front of the simple interface is just a static image (not generated from your model). I'm a volunteer and my views are my own. News and Announcements and FAQ |

ah didn\'t know that. anyhow, when I select the model line, the \'show graphic\' button becomes active. pressing that does nothing |

All I can suggest is looking on your graphics card manufacturer\'s website (most likely nVidia or ATI) to see if there are any appropriate Linux drivers for the card / chipset. I'm a volunteer and my views are my own. News and Announcements and FAQ |

This is an old thread I know, but this problem is very easy to fix. You basically have to tell linux that you want to show the graphics. To do this, simply open the terminal and type: xhost +local: If you now click on graphics - hey presto - their they are! :-) I have found though, if you use the 64-bit version of ubuntu, the graphics will appear transparent. This is also \'fixable\' (well sort of anyway). Just download a totally black background picture, open it, then open the graphics over the top of the black background. Not brilliant but it works. Hope this helps Mikey |

simply open the terminal and type: I have the exact same problem. The graphics showed up earlier but then suddenly disappeared for some reason. I\'m new to linux. When I type this in my terminal it tells me: xhost: bad hostname \"local\" I think I have to insert my host name in the command line. I tried my computer name: tir0@tir0s-linux-pc:~> xhost +tir0s-linux-pc But nothing has happened, the graphic still doesn\'t appear. |

[quote] simply open the terminal and type: you mustn\'t forget the \":\" behind local this is how it should look like : xhost +local: non-network local connections being added to access control list |

It doesn\'t work for me. BOINC 5.10.28 client is running on Fedora 8 32bit BOINC 5.10.28 manager is running on Ubuntu 7.10 32bit The manager connects to the client over the network. On the system running the manager I did \"xhost +local:\" or even \"xhost +\" but still nothing. Yes, I did click on the task first. Yes, the task is running. The manager seems to work fine otherwise with the remote client. |

I have found though, if you use the 64-bit version of ubuntu, the graphics will appear transparent I had this problem with 64bit Ubuntu I came across a cure. If you goto System>Prefrences>Appearence then under the Visual Effects tab select none the problem will go away but of course you lose some visual effects. I also just discovered Ubuntu will throttle back the clock speed for CPDN and will severely effect the completion time I have a thread about it on th main CPDN forum HERE |

... Correct me if I\'m wrong, but I thought the graphics aren\'t expected to work if the PC is being remote controlled from another PC? I'm a volunteer and my views are my own. News and Announcements and FAQ |
