Dave,
I did what you recommended below and installed Boinc. After a couple of hours Seti@home finally connected and I got the following message: Seti@home: Notice from Server Your app_info.xml file doesn’t have a usable version of Seti@home enhanced Thanks, Ben -----Original Message----- From: boun...@canonical.com [mailto:boun...@canonical.com] On Behalf Of Dave Sent: Thursday, May 10, 2012 10:25 AM To: benjg...@yahoo.com Subject: [Bug 991179] Re: 7.0.24 "computation error" bug Ben I'm wondering if it's possible you ended up with double files or just a borked install.. you should "apt-get remove boinc", "apt-get autoremove", and then install boinc again. You are the first to have this error with that package you are using. -- You received this bug notification because you are subscribed to the bug report. <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/991179> https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/991179 Title: 7.0.24 "computation error" bug Status in “boinc” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Hi. Repository versions 7.0.24, (I assume 7.0.25) and 7.0.26 have a known bug which affects users with various hardware running Ubuntu 12.04. The bug makes the boinc software unable to process any work- units. This is a known bug by a growing group of S@H Boinc users running Ubuntu 12.04 and other Debain variants. As soon as there is a version out which overcomes this bug, the repository package may want to be changed. Thanks. [edit] it seems this bug is only caused by the repository installs of Boinc. When one installs Boinc from the Berkeley website the issue does not exist. Also, the bug only seems to exist for seti@home users, apparently all other projects are unaffected? (I'm now curious it may affect "Quake Catcher Network") To manage notifications about this bug go to: <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/boinc/+bug/991179/+subscriptions> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/boinc/+bug/991179/+subscriptions -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/991179 Title: 7.0.24 "computation error" bug To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/boinc/+bug/991179/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
