The X display needs to be accessible to the BOINC graphics processes in order to see the interesting graphics for, e.g., Einstein@Home, and it isn't by default. Your X display can be made accessible to all local UNIX socket connections, including the ones from BOINC, by running <pre>xhost +local: </pre> This is generally safe on single-user machines, though not ideal. It is a bad idea on multi-user machines, so don't do it there. Then, the "Show graphics" button in boincmgr, or the <tt>--result ... graphics_window</tt> option to boinc_cmd, will actually work. Unfortunately, when it doesn't work because of failed X authorization, it does not report the error back to boinc_cmd or boinc_mgr, and the only trace of the error is in some log file in the result directory <tt>/var/lib/boinc-client/slots/<whatever></tt>. </blockquote> However--this did work in the older version of X that I was running with Ubuntu Dapper 6.06---but not with the new 7.1.1 in Edgy 6.10. Anyone have a idea what has changed to exclude the xhost -local: or is the expression wrong? Also--I would like the data to be available to Xscreensaver, are there any ideas to accommodate this?
