** Description changed: We already had a bug opened for this issue. But it was marked as "fix released" (I don't know why as no change ever happened to the repository package) - The Boinc package (7.0.24....precise1) in the 12.04 Ubuntu repository doesn't work for seti@home, it just produces "computation errors". - We know this issue and the ones still existing are specific to Debian/Ubuntu packages, manual installs of Boinc from Berkeley's website (7.0.25 AND 7.0.28) do not have ANY of these issues. + The Boinc package (7.0.24....precise1) in the 12.04 Ubuntu repository + doesn't work for seti@home, it just produces "computation errors". - Locutus' "Boinc development" PPA offers a fix for the instant - computation error bug. However there are still many people having issues - running seti@home, even with the PPA package (which is based on - Steffen's GIT). Mainly errors like this: + The package needs to be changed, perhaps to Debians SID 7.0.27, or + backported from Quantal if that package has been confirmed to be in good + working order. - <core_client_version>7.0.28</core_client_version> - <![CDATA[ - <message> - process got signal 11 - </message> - <stderr_txt> - - </stderr_txt> - ]]> - - OR - - <core_client_version>7.0.28</core_client_version> - <![CDATA[ - <message> - process exited with code 127 (0x7f, -129) - </message> - <stderr_txt> - ../../projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu/setiathome_enhanced: error while loading shared libraries: libboinc_api.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory - - </stderr_txt> - ]]> - - OR - - error while loading shared libraries: libboinc_api.so.6: cannot open - shared object file: No such file or directory - - User comment:" I have in /usr/lib libboinc_api.so, libboinc_api.so.7 and - libboinc_api.7.0.27 the former two are links to the latter." - - - So currently, many casual seti@home users are still unable to run Boinc. - Both with the standard package (of course, as it's still the "broken" - package), AND with the current development package in Locutus' PPA. - - As I cannot recreate these issues other users are having I haven't been - able to help figure anything out. - - I only hope that someone with some Linux skills will figure out what the - issue(s) are and report something usable to me, or here to you guys. - - Because right now, seti@home with Boinc is a no-go for a lot of casual - Ubuntu users. I have given up on trying to point them to the PPA, as I - still get too many coming back complaining of errors, and complaining - about Ubuntu having these errors. I now just tell them to download the - package directly from Boinc, because it doesn't have these issues.... + Currently, 12.04/seti@home and lhc@home users are still unable to run + Boinc without using the PPA alternatives. -Dave + + [Edited for clarity]
