1) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : My linux box has been attempting to trickle... (Message 598) Posted 10 Aug 2004 by old_user350 Post: My linux box is not trickling either (at TS 80500), and the -update_prefs thing didn't work for me. Whenever I restart the client, it says "2004-08-09 23:01:53 [climateprediction.net] Deferring communication with project for 5 days, 15 hours, 58 minutes, and 23 seconds", though the time changes obviously. I was just wondering... does the client attempt to ping someplace to see if its net connection is alive? because my ISP (earthlink.net in the US) blocks pings. So it will probably always think it's offline. TZ
2) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : moving project directory (Message 319) Posted 7 Aug 2004 by old_user350 Post: when I ran the boinc_4.02_i686... executable, I figured it was going to unpack and install to another directory, but it just started running in the current directory. So now I\'ve got the boinc exec and a bunch of .xml files, as well as the slots and projects directories just sitting in my downloads folder. Is it safe to move everything to another directory?

3) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : viz useage/features on linux (Message 317) Posted 7 Aug 2004 by old_user350 Post: I can only answer the "a little slow" part of this question... If you have accelerated GL drivers installed (libGL and libGLU), you can make the viz tool use them instead of the ones it ships with. go into the projects/climateprediction.net directory, and "mv libGL* ..". This will move the libraries that ship with the tool, so they won't be found, and it will use the ones installed by your distribution instead. If viz breaks after doing this, then move the libraries back into their original location. This makes the viz tool much more pleasant to use on my system (MDK 10.0, Athlon 2500+, nvidia 5200FX). However, it does still take 50% CPU, so you don't want to leave it running. HTH TimeZone
