Now I wonder, if a desktop file is the same as the desklets available for Mint? Sorry, perhaps more a question for Less Bayliss.įorget the last question, it's not the same. You will have to adjust directory locations for your apps. IP zaznamenána 'When the world is mine, your death shall be quick and painless'. If you have a desktop file, it is just like any other desktop file you have in /usr/share/applications and can be simply added to Startup Applications. So I made one so that I can Dock the Manager for easy access. That is one of the things I had to do when I transitioned from 16.04 to 18.04, I found that in 18.04 the BOINC desktop file was not created. desktop files? I would think so since is it Debian under the covers just like Ubuntu. It sounds like it is running correctly from your Start Menu selection. Normally, with Linux and BOINC, just starting the Manager causes the client to start. Personally I use Avant, though Kiba is better as far as eye candy is concerned. boinmgr both did work but start a manager that asks for projects (actually I killed the first terminal session "rudely" as the prompt was gone hopefully this did not kill the client too, as now it seems to be gone too) While Gdesklets has a starter bar, it doesn't look nearly as nice as Avant Window Manager or Kiba Dock. This means when a script helps to get it running on startup are there any available, as I've no idea (as usual).Įdit: the. When I start the manager from start menu it works normal and does its job, i.e. This did not work.Īlso tried out to first start the client and then with a few seconds delay the manager, but only the latter starts but is as described empty and does nothing (all options and buttons greyed out except quitting manager). I tried this by adding the boinc-client from the init.d folder to the startup applications, actually without script but just adding it manually by selecting the file in that folder (Mint offers this in the startup appl.). If everything works, just get the client running via a Startup Applications entry or make a script to start it via /etc/init.d. Then open another root Terminal session and start the Manager./boincmgr and you can see the log of the startup of the client in the Terminal window. Open a root Terminal session in /usr/bin and type. You can always start them manually in a Terminal session to prove things out first. It sounds like you already have a desktop object to start the Manager and the only thing wrong is the client is not started before invoking the manager. does it have something similar to Startup Applications like Ubuntu? If it does you can pass the startup of the client to the command shell via something like: Join the nixCraft community via RSS Feed, Email Newsletter or follow on Twitter.Don't know anything about Mint.
