I've made a small change that might help those graphics executables to download properly. Let me know what you see.

I'm a few days late, but I hope everyone who's still here enjoyed Talk Like a Pirate Day on Wednesday. I've been very busy lately and was not sure if I'd be able to do anything at all. I owe the crew a full status report, but that will have to come later. With a few moments on my hands I tried to get the project up and running to give out work for Sept. 19th, but the first attempt failed. There are two branches of the BOINC source code: the trunk is the latest and greatest code from Berkeley, while server_stable is an older snapshot that was at one point considered to be stable. I was able to build from the trunk, but not run the daemons, because there are database changes that need to be applied. The next morning I was able to build from server_stable and get the daemons to run, so I was able to put work out for the "holiday".

But for a couple of days I was not able to clean up after it got back -- the file deleter would not start. I figured out that the prelink cache was old, and once it was removed I was able to get the file_deleter running.

I thank all who have reported problems. I've tried to fix them when I can, when it's quick. I've been really, really busy lately, and thus neglectful of this crew and project. I'm actually really amazed that I could get this rust bucket running at all after such a long time adrift. I will try to find time to explain why and give a status update (it's good news, though maybe not for this crew).

I have done successful work on the one machine I could not before.

Thanks for the fix.

yarr!

cake is a lie, but [b]Cube[b/] is forever!

The problem seems to have been in the file names for the now separate graphics app for the screensaver. By adding a soft link I was able to make the file available under both names.
