  • [gentoo-user] Passing arguments to BOINC

    From Peter Humphrey@21:1/5 to All on Tue May 17 10:40:02 2022
    Hello list,

    I'm trying to get BOINC not to use the GPU on this machine, and it has a command-line option --no_gpus. Looking at /etc/init.d/boinc, I see that it allows for ARGS to have been set by the user. I've tried setting this thus:

    ARGS="--no_gpus" /etc/init.d/boinc start

    ...but projects still tell it to use the GPU, and those I've checked don't allow separate choices on separate machines.

    I'll raise a problem with BOINC if I hear nothing here, but I just wanted to check here. TiA.

    Never mind. I've raised a couple of issues with them.

    Sorry about the noise.
