Ubuntu 12.04 Pae, Some certainly stupid questions:
- I have downloaded BOINC software for SETI project but didn't get and surface for it nor was it listed in the program table. Uninstalled it again ..
- How can I modify settings for i) screen saver, ii) hibernation and other energy/switch-off settings? Don't appear in the "System Settings" panel!
What is your question concerning BOINC?
As for power settings, try Power in System Settings. In order to enable hibernation, see here.
For screensavers, look in Brightness and Locks. If you want fancy screensavers, then install xscreensaver and the screensaver packs:
Remove packages that you deem unnecessary from the list. Then remove gnome-screensaver completely and add 'xscreensaver -no-splash' (no quotes) to Startup Application.Code:sudo apt-get install xscreensaver xscreensaver-data xscreensaver-gl xscreensaver-data-extra xscreensaver-gl-extra xscreensaver-screensaver-bsod xscreensaver-screensaver-dizzy xscreensaver-screensaver-webcollage
My question about BOINC is: How can I use it? - I don't see it listed anywhere to start it, nor do I get hints about it.
Open the Dash and type "boinc" or use the terminal and do
What happens?Code:boinc
