Perhaps. My recollection is that I looked first .. no BOINC icon on task bar ... but maybe I am wrong.Bogomips wrote:@wacojohn
Met this situation before of two managers running. According to the output, manager was still running before the code block was done.
Quite right, .. but my BManager ask if it should just close Manager or close it AND the client. I always say close both. In any case, I am the weak link ... so anything is possible.NB Closing window does not terminate boinc manager. Boinc manager a bit of a tricky customer. To terminate manager have to do: View > Advanced View > File > Exit BOINC Manager > OK
Also scan task bar for boinc icon, right click and choose close.
Would not and cannot argue that.According to output, boinc client is running, so should be able to connect.
First we have to ensure we are rid of them managers:Code: Select all
pkill boincmgr; ps -e | grep boincmgr
Code: Select all
root@porteus:/mnt/sda1/disk/BOINC# pkill boincmgr; ps -e | grep boincmgr

I do Alt+F2 and a window opens titled APPLICATION FINDER. I TYPE inEnsure boincmgr does not show up in output, otherwise repeat with:Think I know how you could have gone off the rails, very easy to do if not on your guard. When doing Run (Alt+F2), all the letters of boinc_mgr have to be entered. No auto completion! Then there will appear Run boinc_mgr, which can then be clicked upon.Code: Select all
pkill -9 boincmgr; ps -e | grep boincmgr

BManager opened .. advanced window ... status disconnected.So without any boincmgr running, redo:Btw. FF OK?

All this was superfluous!wacojohn wrote: I exit BManager from Advanced window .. telling it to terminate client .... unless it ERRORS in which case, it instantly closes at the basic window.
In any case, I am reasonably certain it is NOT running now.

As guest implies (to me) that the preceding should be done as Root ... hence some of the mistakes are made ... sometimes. I have to make assumptions ... sometimes..Check if boinc running
If no boinc doCode: Select all
Code: Select all ps -e | grep boinc
As guestCode: Select all
Code: Select all boinc --dir /mnt/sda1/disk/BOINC --daemon
Code: Select all
Code: Select all cd /mnt/sda1/disk/BOINC; boincmgr &
Code: Select all
man <cmd>
man chown # for example.
THANK YOU FOR THIS!! I have been confused for years ... between user account (wacojohn or in the case of Porteus guest), root, sudo, and su. Still am, in fact. I THOUGHT each 'tier' did the same thing .. except with simply different permissions. Hope that made sense. Again .. run this 'xxxxxxx', .. sorry you don't have permission. OK, then open 'terminal as super user' ... now xxxxxxxxx and it runs. OR ... type su xxxxxxxx, give p/w and it runs. OR ... log in as ROOT, open regular terminal and xxxxxxxx and it will run ... all ending up with the same result. TOTALLY misunderstood. Hope this makes sense. Anyway ...... I will CERTAINLY heed:Bogomips wrote:^ That all looks good. Always run as guest. Emphasised as guest, because did not want it run as root. Run as root only when requested to do so. Running as root can do interminable damage. One has only to paste in the wrong text from clipboard, which is quite easy to do.
Thank you again.Always run as guest. Emphasised as guest, because did not want it run as root. Run as root only when requested to do so.
Yes, Sir. Familiar with 'man' ... though I often don't understand it. The other point to make .. if I 'man'ned every command, this would have taken months to develop this. Would have been nice to benefit from all you have done in that respect .. but you would have waited a LONG time for my replies. The objective was to get BOINC and install it. Developing it with you was a commitment .. the impact of which was unknown to me.Btw to find out what a command does (what you are doing):Also here.Code: Select all
man <cmd> man chown # for example.
Indeed. Have a stick here on my table top. Dunno what capacity is needed, how prepared it needs to be ... what to do when I insert it (mount etc?) etc.Next to Do
- Test out scripts to automate what has been done by hand.
- Saving everything relevant in /mnt/sda1/disk, in case of system screw up
- Backing up /mnt/sda1/disk to USB stick
