Did you follow https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Mjakubicek/HowToUseBoinc? OK.. That didn't crash right off the bat, running it as a service. I made the mistake of reading this page: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php which pointed me to this one: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/GPU_computing which says: "Get the latest driver Run BOINC, and look at the Messages. If BOINC reports a GPU, your current driver is OK. Otherwise..." which certainly made it sound like just running 'boinc' would produce the messages in question... All the same, if the program wants to be run as a service and it's launched from a terminal, it should print a message *saying* so, and then exiting cleanly. Having Fortify gun the binary down in the middle of a printf() is just busted. :) |
