I'm running BOINC on Kubuntu 20.04. The client runs well, but I had problems
with BOINC Manager because it occasionally refused to load after a reboot. I
fixed it by adding a '-a' switch to the launcher in Plasma:
boincmgr -a
According to the man page, this tells the BOINC Manager that it was started by
the operating system automatically.
On odd occasions, I have found that I had to start the Manager with sudo, to
start another instance. Closing it again seems to allow me to launch in the
normal way.
As a precaution, I usually close the BOINC Manager before shutting down.
