Hi Ken, I see the same behaviour in my machines, definitively a bug, but I have this bug too with the official client build (from berkeley/dl website).
So I suggest you to report it directly upstream, otherwise I'll have a look at the source code, but this is an upstream bug, so is stupid to fix it on debian side. I saw some your mail on boinc_alpha mailing list, so feel free to report this bug too :) ** Changed in: boinc (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1115607 Title: boincmgr unable to launch a second instance To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/boinc/+bug/1115607/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
