[Bug 991179] Re: 7.0.24 "computation error" bug

[Ben Giacalone]

Dave,


I did what you recommended below and installed Boinc. After a couple of
hours Seti at home finally connected and I got the following message:

Seti at home: Notice from Server

Your app_info.xml file doesn’t have a usable version of Seti at home
enhanced


Thanks,


Ben

Ben I'm wondering if it's possible you ended up with double files or
just a borked install..


you should "apt-get remove boinc", "apt-get autoremove", and then
install boinc again. You are the first to have this error with that
package you are using.

Title:

  7.0.24 "computation error" bug


Status in “boinc” package in Ubuntu:

  Confirmed


Bug description:

  Hi. Repository versions 7.0.24, (I assume 7.0.25) and 7.0.26 have a

  known bug which affects users with various hardware running Ubuntu

  12.04. The bug makes the boinc software unable to process any work-

  units.


  This is a known bug by a growing group of S at H Boinc users running

  Ubuntu 12.04 and other Debain variants.


  As soon as there is a version out which overcomes this bug, the

  repository package may want to be changed.


  Thanks.


  [edit] it seems this bug is only caused by the repository installs of
Boinc. When one installs Boinc from the Berkeley website the issue does
not exist.

  Also, the bug only seems to exist for seti at home users, apparently all
other projects are unaffected? (I'm now curious it may affect "Quake
Catcher Network")
