I had done it the manual way with the shell file downloaded from here and running it so it stuck the BOINC folder into my home.

Though the apt-get way seems alot nicer, didn't even know it was in the repos. lol

Anyway I think I may have figured out the problem, the boinc.berkeley.edu website is offline and apparently has been the entire day.

Is 10.10 working good with WCG and Boinc? Getting ready to dual boot my windows rig but if 10.10 is having problem then will instal 10.4 instead. I know what to do for cc config file so that's not a problem. It will be 64 bit version.

I have never had to install the 32-libs on all 3 of my machines using 10.4 lucid 64. You have to edit the cc_config.xml file in order for WCG to recognize ubuntu 64. First you have to chown the cc_config file in order to edit and save it. You need this line between the 2 options line:
<alt_platform>i686-pc-linux-gnu</alt_platform>

To chown:
Sudo chown username cc_config.xml
Replace user name with whatever your user name is (provided you have admin rights). Also, you will have to cd to your boinc folder in etc if you do it this way. Some folks recommend changing the file back to root but never had a problem leaving it. Don't give up on ubuntu. I went from 80 wu's crunched a day under win7 64 to 112 under ubuntu 64. Good luck.
