Hi,

I have installed the new Ubuntu 11.04 from few days. I would like to use BOINC platform (latest version) to contribute to science cause. It work well if I install it from the repository, but the version from official website (file.sh) doesn't work. When I start the application, BOINC can't connect to local host. So I can't manage it to attach the various project.
All the old versions of Ubuntu (from 9.10 to 10.10) work well. Where could be the problem? Is it a bug of 11.04?

Thank you

Rumours have it [read it I think in the alpha mail list, though can't remember if this is the 64 bits], that change in Ubuntu libraries broke the BOINC .sh builds. I'm running with the Synaptic RPM v 6.10.59 dbg now on 11.04. The download list does show 6.12.27 for 32+64 bits, but that's alpha.

Hi,

thank for your answers. I have forgotten to tell to you that I'm using the 64 bit version. Today I have tried to install BOINC 6.10.58 on Ubuntu 11.04 on virtual machine and by magic it works.
I don't know why...
