@Matthew could you try to reproduce with oneiric or a new boinc version from the official download site? thanks ** Changed in: boinc (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged = Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/72192 Title: No graphics (Show graphics grayed out or nothing happens) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/boinc/+bug/72192/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Isn't this fixed in 6.x? (The graphics get started by boincmgr, not boinc_client, so they run as the local user, not 'boinc'). -- No graphics (Show graphics grayed out or nothing happens) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/72192 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

confirming on intrepid ibex.. but I think it would be better to concentrate on creating a screensaver that gets the status of the current working unit :) Either way, both solutions would be accepted! -- No graphics (Show graphics grayed out or nothing happens) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/72192 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

** Summary changed: - No graphics in 5.4.11 + No graphics (Show graphics grayed out or nothing happens) ** Description changed: - I don't know if to call this a bug or not--the current boinc-manager's - Tasks window has the Show graphics tab grayed out--I have gone to the - Debian Wiki done what is shown to make graphics work (xhost +local:) - this will not work. Is it possible that the current version was - compiled without the --show_graphics flag? + The show graphics button is grayed out for most projects, because there are no graphics available. + The button is only active, if the task provides a graphic _and_ is active. + + Additionally, you need to call xhost +si:localuser:boinc to allow the + local boinc user accessing your DISPLAY. + + If those conditions are met, graphics get displayed. That's the case + e.g. for the [EMAIL PROTECTED] 5.42 application in the World Community + Grid project. + + It's not easily possible to provide feedback about failure of glutInit + to the user (see comment below). + + For BOINC 6, it's planned to revamp the whole subsystem to display + graphics, so there's hope that the user experience gets improved (I've + read about it at + http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=2353). -- No graphics (Show graphics grayed out or nothing happens) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/72192 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
