since I only use the "plain client" without manager, the following procedure worked for me (probably very unprofessional, but I wanted the work done!)
(prerequisite: BOINC was normally installed via apt-get/aptitude and is working) - stop boinc - download the actual linux/x86 version [url]http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download_all.php[/url] because the "recommended version" without GUI is too old also, I tried the actual beta (5.10.0) - so far it's working fine. - execute the downloaded file, this creates a folder "BOINC" in the current directory - rename or move (or if you're really sure delete) "boinc", "boinc_cmd" and "boinc_client" from /usr/bin - copy "boinc" and "boinc_cmd" from BOINC-folder to /usr/bin - create a symlink named "boinc_client" pointing to "boinc" - copy "ca-bundle.crt" to /var/lib/boinc-client dont't forget the last step, otherwise connections to the project servers will fail! - restart boinc the other files in the BOINC folder seem to belong to the manager, so I don't need them. -- client outdated https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/87353 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
