** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: boinc
  
  Had installed boinc from website, but would not run properly.  Deleted
  install script and BOINC subdirectory and installed from package
  manager.  Then ran Boinc Manager from Gnome Menu, but got 'failed to
  connect' errors.  Completely uninstalled all BOINC componenents from
  package manager, but was given error on boinc-client.  Ran `ps aux |grep
  boinc` to see if user boinc had programs running still. 2 remained.  Was
  about to reboot system when crash icon rose from taskbar.  Plan to
  reinstall again, in hopes that previous attempt at manual install would
  be completely wiped out (I didn't modify anything outside of my home
  directory, such as /var/lib), so I can start fresh.
