Package: boinc-manager Version: 6.10.58+dfsg-3 Severity: normal File: /usr/bin/boincmgr
Hello, I see a varioation of this issue with 6.10. The client is stopped when I just close the manager window (I presume ending my X session would have the same effect). As the client is installed so that it starts automatically on boot this is confusing and poor integration. Since the manager is not supposed to start the client it is also not supposed to terminate it unless explicitly requested. The wording in the warning dialog (which is not displayed in this case) as well as the file menu is quite unclear. The two file options read Close window ^W Exit ^Q The manager should 1) not start or stop the client under normal operation 2) have an option to start/stop the client when explicitly requested by user I suggest Stop client and exit ^Q Exit ^W if the options need to be similar to what they are now. Plus some warning dialog which actually makes sense the client is to be stopped, not only when it is stopped by menu item. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (900, 'stable'), (700, 'oldstable'), (510, 'unstable'), (200, 'experimental'), (111, 'oldstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.38-3-generic (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages boinc-manager depends on: ii libc6 2.11.2-10 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.4.5-8 GCC support library ii libsqlite3-0 3.7.3-1 SQLite 3 shared library ii libstdc++6 4.4.5-8 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libwxbase2.8-0 2.8.10.1-3+b1 wxBase library (runtime) - non-GUI ii libwxgtk2.8-0 2.8.10.1-3+b1 wxWidgets Cross-platform C++ GUI t Versions of packages boinc-manager recommends: ii boinc-client 6.10.58+dfsg-3 core client for the BOINC distribu Versions of packages boinc-manager suggests: ii libgl1-mesa-glx 7.10-4 A free implementation of the OpenG ii libxt6 1:1.0.7-1 X11 toolkit intrinsics library -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
