Diet BOINC is a no-graphics, lightweight alternative XScreenSaver module
for the boinscr screensaver.


If the Boinscr module in XScreenSaver is showing
a black screen with the words 'boinc not running'
or similar, Diet BOINC may be able to replace it with
a working alternative.


For Linux only

Dependencies:
- XScreenSaver
- BOINC software
- Python 2.x

Tested in CentOS & Ubuntu Linux. Should work in other Linux if you can run these three items.

Features

  • - explicitly avoids libraries not included with default Linux or Python
  • - is no-graphics, none are used beyond what XScreenSaver is already using
  • - looks only for BOINC data, not the client which creates it
  • - attempts to find your BOINC data without anticipating a default location
