I see I have some 6.04 cube WUs on my 32 bit Fedora box (F9) with BOINC 6.4.5.

The graphics button is active, but does not produce any graphics at all.

I had already done the `xhost +si:localuser:boinc
` which usually works. I just checked with a BOINC Alpha WU and it does work.

So, what changed?

Would it be helpful to do a quick install of either a newer/older version of BOINC or install to somewhere in my home directory so it's not running as a system daemon/running under my account?

Cube 6.04 was compiled for Linux with extra effort do do static linking to some main libraries, to try to make it more portable. The hope is that it will work on some of the few Linux machines in this fleet where it failed before.

But it sounds like it may be worse? Did the graphics work last round?

Early indications are that 6.04 works better on 64 bit Linux than 6.03 did. But I'd like to hear from crew members who have such machines to verify this is true.

No need. Since the graphics are now in a seprate app you could copy that to /tmp and try running it from there, using your own user account.

Trying on my 64-bit powerpc, but can't seem to get any jobs.

EDIT: Well, I got a task and it's running, but no graphic. I also am not getting a graphic on my i686 P3 1G, or my dual core 32-bit.

That's correct, that should pop up a window showing the graphics.

Today I am getting:

Next step?

1. `ldd cube_graphics_6.04_i686-pc-linux-gnu`

2. `objdump -p cube_graphics_6.04_i686-pc-linux-gnu | grep NEEDED`

It looks like 6.04 was an improvement for the compute application, but the reverse for the graphics. But we need more data from 6.03 to verify this. So I've rolled back to 6.03 for Linux, and I wonder if you might try the graphics app for 6.03 standalone (as described above). You can download it directly from http://pirates.spy-hill.net/download/

I deleted the 6.03 source to make way for 6.04. Also, the graphic app 6.03 was removed from my project folder. Where can I get the 6.03 source to recompile?

In this case it might be useful for you to download the graphics for 6.03 and 6.04 and try them standalone, to see if they are the same or different.

If you compile from source then it's likely they will work for you, but the test here is whether the versions I compile here work on a wide range of other Linux machines.

Do you mean the graphics app? I can't download. I can only compile. As of this moment, nobody supports powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu.

Oh my...

Graphic app no longer runs. In fact, it also crashes the manager. This is not unique to Cube as both E@H graphic apps do the same. Both are 32 bit apps.
