How-To: Ubuntu cruncher! Install and forget

[s0lid]

I would like to add a little something ... you want your session to auto-start run_client not run_manager. That way you can open the manager whenever you want and close it again without killing the client or wasting cycles making pretty pictures.

Good point btw!

great guide solid edit the title tho to add the "h" in cruncher

Fixd =)

Thanks solid. The linux noob in me gave up far to early! I now recognise what I was doing wrong. Can this work with BoincView?

Well i don't know for sure, i've never used boincview before.

Does the 64 bit client still require you to install the ia32libs in order to work ? I guess it's been a little bit since I've done a new one. Before, you needed to do that in order to run the work units, which are 32 bit. I believe some projects may now have native 64 bit code but some not.
Also, an editing idea, include a link to the ubuntu download page instead of directly to the .iso files for the current versions.

64bit client installs w/o any addional libs

That's the same one you get if you open the terminal and enter "sudo apt-get install boinc-client boinc-manager" (or do it through the synaptic package manager), trouble is, they never update it between OS releases.

Just tried to check which version of boinc reposities have. Couldn't find
