Looking at my log, I usually get only one "signal 15" line, too, but
sometimes the same as above, e.g.
29-Jul-2010 01:42:18 [---] Received signal 15
29-Jul-2010 01:42:19 [---] Exit requested by user
29-Jul-2010 01:42:26 [---] Received signal 15
29-Jul-2010 01:51:28 [---] Starting BOINC client version 6.10.58 for
i686-pc-linux-gnu

There was no other boot in between, and therefore this must not be a
reason for boinc failing to start (at least on my system).

Please observe this further: it does not appear to cause problems for
me. But I cannot be sure, I rarely check if BOINC is running - I will do
so now however.

I do not think this is related.

2010-07-30 Thread KevinM
Thanks Daniel. 
Booted three times in a row.
Will report back when Boinc next fails to start/load a project.
By the way, I have apport permanently enabled and the crash files in /var/crash 
don't seem to include one for Boinc (may be due to your comment about 
.xsession-errors in post #6.

2010-07-30 Thread Daniel Hahler
This _might_ be related, at least there's the same "failed with error 2" 
message, but after a connect:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=360143

So, additionally, when this fails again, try the following (after inspecting 
the logs as described above):
1. Manually start the client using: sudo invoke-rc.d boinc-client start
2. Looking at other errors like that (via Google, e.g. 
http://128.32.18.189/trac/ticket/923), this appears to come from boincmgr, and 
not "boinc" itself; please check the list of running process via "ps aux | grep 
boinc" when it failed to start.

So you've booted three times in a row?

When BOINC came up at ~7:05 this was your third attempt, correct?
And you've shutdown at ~9:20?

> The stdoutdae.txt file looks OK.

It's likely that the error which gets displayed in ~/.xsession-errors
prevents BOINC already from logging anything.

When this happens again, please do not reboot, but do the following:
% sudo -i
% cd /var/lib/boinc-client
% ls -lt | head

This should give you a list of the least recently changed files.
Please paste this, and inspect the least recently changed ones -
hopefully those are logfiles.

You could also try enabling apport (/etc/default/apport) and look for a
crash file in /var/crash.
Unfortunately, apport won't let you report this directly to Launchpad
(because the package is from a PPA), but this might be useful for
inspection nonetheless.

The stderrdae.txt file seems to be empty (i.e. no errors). The
stdoutdae.txt file I've attached I've reduced in size so that it only
shows recent activity (the original was 1.4Mb). When I first ran up the
PC from cold this morning BOINC did not see any attached projects and so
I rebooted (but still no attached projects, this is new). A second
reboot and BOINC is again running fine. The stdoutdae.txt file looks OK.

The error apparently is:
   execvp(/var/lib/boinc-client/boinc, --redirectio, --launched_by_manager) 
failed with error 2!

Can you provide the following files (only readable by root/boinc):

/var/lib/boinc-client/stdoutdae.txt
/var/lib/boinc-client/stderrdae.txt

Please look there for any indication of (startup) failure.

The problem still occurs with the latest programs. 
Linux kernel is now 2.6.32-24-generic #38-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jul 5 09:20:59 UTC 
2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux (updated recently).
I've attached my .xession-errors file as there's other things (but probably 
going on that are unrelated).

My version from the standard repos for both the client and manager was 
6.10.17+dfsg-3ubuntu1. I've now added the repo and installed 6.10.58. I'll post 
back in the problem is still occurring (it may be a few days...)
Thanks
