File > Close Window (Ctrl+W), like Launcher > right-click > Quit, only closes the *window*, but the Manager is still running, so it is a sort of "Minimize".
To really exit the Manager application, and make it disappear from Launcher, use File > Exit BOINC Manager (Ctrl+Q). Notice this will exit the *Manager*, but not necessarily shut down boinc and its background tasks. For that you must also confirm you want to shut down tasks when exiting the Manager (if needed, enable this confirmation in Tools > Options) So I guess the bug does not apply, or it was fixed already somewhere between OP's 7.0.7 and current 7.0.27: kill the process or reboot is not necessary and Ctrl+Q is not a workaround, but the intended way to completely exit the Manager. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/926891 Title: BOINC Manager can not be closed (Ctrl-Q works as workaround) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/boinc/+bug/926891/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
