I migrated over to Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS and now BOINC Manager gives an "Illegal instruction (core dumped)" message.
Is this a known issue? Is there anything I can do on my end to get it to work? Many thanks, Macromancer |

Did you load BOINC from the package manager or from WCG ?

The only thing I can think of is there was some problem giving an incomplete install, so if you haven't tried uninstalling and then re-install, I have no more suggestions.

Hi,
----------------------------------------I got the same problem on my 24 thread rackserver after upgrading from Linux Mint 20.3->21. Also there are two packages in the packetmanager. I got the client to run but Boinccmd is still giving this message and do not work. Unfortunately I have not had the time to deep investigate yet but I will  Anyone more encountered this and any possible explanation? Tried uninstall/reinstall oc.

The issue that I have with BOINC Manager is about the same.
(Note that BOINC (its client) itself works, but its BOINC manager crashes. So I have adjusted the title of this post.) On my Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS, starting BOINC Manager crashes the desktop manager and I'm left with a new initial login desktop screen. The system doesn't crash, luckily, so BOINC remains running. To overcome this, I have resorted to using boinctui instead of boincmgr. "Haven't had the time" to further investigate. Meaning, I can live with it. |

I had 3 machines running Xubuntu 2 upgraded to 22.04 with no issues. 1 would no longer start boinc so searched for a solution but could not find any and have switched that machine to windows 10.
----------------------------------------If someone finds the solution please post it here.  |

I don't have an answer but just wanted to report that I did let 1 Ubuntu update itself to 22.04.1 LTS (GNU/Linux 5.15.0-46-generic x86_64)
from 20.04.1 LTS [5.4.0-48-generic|libc 2.31 (Ubuntu GLIBC 2.31-0ubuntu9.1). The only strange thing I can remember is it asked to update some file(s) or keep as is. I chose as is. I'll check log files just to see. It did an update of the Boinc stuff by itself. I am now at 7.18.1 from 7.16.6 The only reason I did the update was just to see. After reading this thread I won't update the others. No need to repair something which is not broken. These machines just do WCG (well other projects now while waiting) and being up to date is irrelevant. I've turned off auto updates. |

The only thing I can think of is to install Boinc 7.18.1 which is what 22.04.1 updated to by itself. There must be a reason to NOT go to 7.22.0
Here are the release notes for changes in 7.22.0 and lower. Something might ring a bell for someone. https://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Release_Notes |
