Hi
Under Ubuntu 12.04 amd64 the package dependencies are (seems to me) broken, it want’s to install about 300MB packages. After fiddling arround with apt-get I found the proper option
apt-get --no-install-recommends install boinc-client
Now I want to activate my worldcommunitygrid.org account. Were doing this:
boinccmd --lookup_account http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org username yourpassword
Weg get an hash returned, and with the hash we do:
boinccmd --host localhost --project_attach https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org hash
That’s it. Now were computing for worldcommunitygrid.org
Since I’m a little paranoid, I don’t trust anything which downloads binaries and executes them on my computer automatically. Therefore is a solution to isolate the processes at kernel space. Apparmor. Here my profile:
# vim:syntax=apparmor
# Last Modified: Mon Jul 30 23:00:13 2007
#include <tunables/global>
/usr/bin/boinc {
#include <abstractions/base>
#include <abstractions/bash>
#include <abstractions/nameservice>
#include <abstractions/wutmp>
/SYSV* mrw,
/bin/dash ixr,
/bin/uname ixr,
/dev/ r,
/dev/pts/ r,
/etc/boinc-client/* r,
/etc/gai.conf r,
/etc/magic r,
/lib/ r,
/proc/ r,
/proc/** r,
/usr/lib/ r,
/usr/bin/boinc mr,
/usr/bin/file ixr,
/usr/sbin/sendmail ixr,
/usr/share/file/magic.mgc r,
/var/lib/boinc-client/ r,
/var/lib/boinc-client/** krwixr,
}
I’ve simply adopted the profile from:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apparmor/+bug/129574
Save the profile under /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.boinc and run:
aa-enforce /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.boinc
If youre missing the command aa-enforce try to install the package apparmor-utils
Have fun!
