A little experience of running BOINC on Deepin

BOINC(Berkeley open Infrastructure for Networkcomputing, Berkeley Open Network Computing platform) isone of the pre-mainstream distributed computing platforms,designed to provide researchers with a powerful computing power that brings together a large number of PCs around the world. Up to January 25, 2008, BOINC has approximately 549,000 active hosts worldwide and provides an average of about 852TeraFLOPS (TFLOPS) 's OperationThe ability to calculate. to Volunteersspeaking, it providesA Unified client program.


I used to run BOINC under the Windows system, and now I'm using Deepin Linux system. These days boinc a little bit, and share your experience with you.


at first I was on the BOINC official web download Linux version, but also the SH script is the path problem, tossing a half-day only to find, do not need to download manually, as long as the following apt installation commands can be implemented BOINC installation.

1. sudo apt-get install Boinc

Copy Code

then run boinc on the command line to run the BOINC background scheduler.

BOINC with the management program Boincmgr when the problem occurs, the interface button is "gray", so the failure can not be used.

enquiries on the official website of the Chinese Terminal (http://www.equn.com/wiki/BOINC:%E5%B8%B8%E8%A7%81%E9%97%AE%E9%A2%98%E8%A7%A3%E5%86%B3) found that is caused by the setting of the environment variable:

If the Web site buttons in the Manager don ' t work, make sure your $BROWSER environment variable is set.
If the link button on the BOINC interface fails, verify that the environment variable $BROWSER already set.

       Inquiry at the UC Berkeley Forum (http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=661) found $BROWSER Method of setting.

I can solve. In Linux a series of environment variables is stored that relate to certain the default attributes like HOSTNAME or LOCALE. One of these environment variables is called BROWSER and often it's not set by default.

You need to is root to does this.

Edit the File/etc/profile with a convenient app like VI or nano and add this to the end,

Browser= "<path/to/your/browser"

Save and you ' re-done. The simplest-on-BOINC is simply to reboot, and you could try maybe export $BROWSER from the command Line and just restart BOINC.

By the example, I use Mozilla and the Mozilla binary's full path Is/opt/mozilla/bin/mozilla so my extra

Browser= "/opt/mozilla/bin/mozilla"

You can find the exact path using the Whereis command,

Whereis Mozilla

You'll also find the Acroread package useful. In ArchLinux

Pacman-sy Acroread

But I ' m sure Suse/rh/fc/debian has something similar
Enjoy.

from the above reply content, I need to find my browser path, set $browser to my browser path.
My browser is Google Chrome, so I found the path to Chrome:

/opt/google/chrome

So I set the $BROWSER environment variable by entering the following command on the command line.

1. Export browser= "/opt/google/chrome"

Copy Code

after Setup is complete, enter it again at the command lineBoincmgr run BOINC foreground management interface. It is now possible to set the BOINC. The BOINC is able to run properly on Deepin.
