** Summary changed: - boinc-client crashes when started with core dump on Xubuntu 22.04 + [SRU] boinc-client crashes when started with core dump on Xubuntu 22.04 ** Description changed: + [ Impact ] + + boinc-client is completely unusable on older CPU which does not have avx like a Celeron CPU. + It will crash immediately if run on old CPU, but will run without any problem on newer CPUs. + + [ Test Plan ] + + It should be done on both types of CPUs, one which has AVX, and one which does not have AVX. + If using qemu then "-cpu Conroe-v1" will emulate Celeron CPU without AVX. + + Confirm with the command "lscpu" and check the flags if "avx" is listed + or not. + + Commands to execute for testing on both CPUs: + + 1. Install boinc + 2. Execute "boinc" from a terminal + + If the package is not fixed then it will fail to start. + + [ Where problems could occur ] + + There is no change in the code and is only modifying debian/rules so + that the built binary does not have any machine instruction for AVX. It + will result in a different executable machine code but chances of + regression due to this is very low. + + [ Other Info ] + + This change is from Debian and is part of Ubuntu from Manctic onwards. There has been no reported regression due to this change. + The Debian change is at: https://salsa.debian.org/pkg-boinc-team/boinc/-/commit/a0611c2bc86864428337b07b382e4d5cf823b95d + + [ Original Bug Description ] + lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Release: 22.04 apt-cache policy boinc-client boinc-client: - Installed: 7.18.1+dfsg-4 - Candidate: 7.18.1+dfsg-4 - Version table: - *** 7.18.1+dfsg-4 500 - 500 http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy/universe amd64 Packages - 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status + Installed: 7.18.1+dfsg-4 + Candidate: 7.18.1+dfsg-4 + Version table: + *** 7.18.1+dfsg-4 500 + 500 http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy/universe amd64 Packages + 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status I expected boinc-client to start; it crashed immediately with a core dump.
