Hello,

I attempted to use Boinc on my server which has Ubuntu Server 16.10 on it. I installed boinc-client with the package - version number 7.6.33. I have been trying to connect to the SZTAKI desktop grid but my account doesn't seem to recognize the computer regardless of what commands I put into it. There are no tasks and no project files downloaded and I am not sure why this is.

Please help - I was hoping to set this up tonight, but that doesn't look possible right now.

Thank you,
Fezik

How do you run BOINC?
Is the client even running?

Can you post the first 50 or so lines of the start up messages?
