Hi there

I couldn't find any help on this one here or elsewhere on cybrespace so I thought I'd ask here:

I am using boinc-client 7.9.3+dfsg-5ubuntu2 on Ubuntu Budgie 18.04 and it worked great until today. It might have to do with the fact that I am now using a low latency kernel instead of the generic one? (it's the only thing that changed since yesterday when Boinc was running fine.

What happens is that Boinc does not launch the client (nor does it run tasks in the background actually).
If I run `boinc` in the terminal, I get the following:
