Package: boinc-manager Version: 5.2.15-2 Severity: normal It is really a trouble trying to connect to a host with a running boinc other than localhost. Boinc manager tries to connect to localhost immediately after staring, which is ok by itself. But when you go to File -> Select computer menu, type the name of the host and press OK nothing happens! Only after boinc manager decides to timeout (which is after a minute or more!) are you allowed to choose another host which is a real PITA. Don't need to mention that it happens every time. OK, I'll admit it looks like an upstream bug, but I still have a lot of hope in fine Debian developers. :)
What would be nice is to make boinc manager remember the last host chosen and automatically use that info next time you start it. That's how other 99.9% applications work. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=hr_HR (charmap=ISO-8859-2) Versions of packages boinc-manager depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libcomerr2 1.38+1.39-WIP-2005.12.31-1 common error description library ii libcurl3 7.15.3-1 Multi-protocol file transfer libra ii libgcc1 1:4.0.3-1 GCC support library ii libidn11 0.5.18-2 GNU libidn library, implementation ii libkrb53 1.4.3-6 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8a-8 SSL shared libraries ii libstdc++6 4.0.3-1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libwxgtk2.6-0 2.6.1.2 wxWidgets Cross-platform C++ GUI t ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-11 compression library - runtime Versions of packages boinc-manager recommends: pn boinc-client <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
