I am, at present, completely unable to use Boinc. Trying to run any of the programs in the self-extracting downloaded client results in e.g., "bash: ./boinc: No such file or directory". This is the same problem I had with 7.04 server (but not desktop) edition.
I tried using the version of the repositories, but it completely failed to be useful. After spending some time flailing around trying to figure out how the heck to attach it to a project it started to work, but immediately had computation failures when starting tasks. While of course this issue wasn't resolved last time I posted a topic about it, I am interested to know if anybody has boinc working under 7.10, and if so, by what method. If anybody actually does know to fix it, well, that would be nice too. |

You should have no problem with the version in the repository OR with the self-extracting version.
I don't recall your previous thread, so we will have to start from the beginning. It looks like you are in the wrong directory. Try: cd BOINC ./boinc & Remember, Linux is case sensitive. You may want to use pwd and ls to check that you are in the right directory. |

The 32-bit version does the same thing. [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Oct 21, 2007 12:17:37 PM] |

The best suggestion so far is that you try
ldd -v ./boinc There is a possibility that a dependency is missing. |

$ ldd -v ./boinc not a dynamic executable Out of curiosity I tried ltrace, which output: $ ltrace ./boinc Can't execute `./boinc': No such file or directory PTRACE_SETOPTIONS: No such process Which looks like ltrace itself was unable to find ./boinc. |

Where did you get BOINC from? What version is it?
Please will you try: file ./boinc and uname -a |

The repository version will install the apps and data in different directories. I forget where exactly. You should still be able to attach by running the manager.
On the 64 bit version you will need the 32 bit compatibility libs for most projects to run without errors. |

-rwxrwxr-x 1 user 500 1957104 2007-03-01 18:46 boinc (...) $ ./boinc_cmd bash: ./boinc_cmd: No such file or directory The owner was 500 originally, with the same results. If you set the owner to 500 and that isn't actually your UID then it will definitely fail to execute. The group also isn't correct and, unless you're really logged on as a user named 'user', the user name could be wrong too. Ubuntu generally has the same user & group names for user-land files so if you are really logging in as a user called 'user', do the following: cd ~/BOINC chown -R user:user * Not entirely sure why your run_client and run_manager are GID:root, so to fix it all in one go prepend 'sudo' to the chown line. BTW, the data directory is /etc/boinc-client (and /var/lib/boinc-client) if you've installed it from the repository using apt-get, with all BOINC-related stuff user:group permissions set as boinc:boinc automatically by apt-get (which also installs the correct init scripts) - but if you use the GUI interface to manage projects you shouldn't need to worry about that sort of detail.
To err is human; to moo, bovine.
