Hello all.

I have a problem starting BOINC client on Linux MInt 21 (kernel 5,15,0.78-generic) after the upgrade from Linux 20)
I get this error from crash report. Can anyone help?

does it start with
sudo systemctl start boinc-client
?

Edit: What is the BOINC version installed?

Boinc Client: 7.18.1 +dfsg-4
Boinc Manager: 7.18.1 +dfsg-4
Boinc: 7.18.1 +dfsg-4

Those are installed via ''Software Manager'' of Linux Mint

I also installed them via terminal.

I tried the ''sudo systemctl start boinc-client''. It seems that is running on the Process list, but it won't open.
I get the same error in the System Reports.

EDIT: I suppose that some packages that the upgrade linux tool found them ''not compatible'' , I had to keep them...

It is a problem with 7.18 which is designed to only run on Android. Sadly some of the package mangers haven't spotted this yet.
If you use Gianfranco's version it should work. Get instructions here

I went through exactly the same process some time ago. I was running Mint 20.3, with a late version of BOINC 7.20.x from Gianfranco Costamagna's PPA.

The upgrade to Mint 21 went smoothly, but Mint 21 rejected the PPA (all PPAs) because of a change in security policy. Instead, it installed v7.18.1 from it's own repositories - and in my case, it ran.

I can only surmise that there is a difference in one of the support libraries between the Mint repository and the PPA: since the problem only affects the Manager component, the usual finger of suspicion points at the wxWidgets GUI component library.

We're in a bit of a transitional phase at the moment. The other main platforms (Android, Apple, Windows) have transitioned to v7.22.2, but the Linux repository maintainers have been markedly slow to follow suit - even Gianfranco hasn't got that one out yet. The BOINC developers are working on an in-house Linux installer, but again incredibly slowly.

I think it would be helpful if you could escalate this - and your excellent error log - to GitHub, where most issues are thrashed out these days. You could either reopen my https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/issues/4930 (give me a shout if you can't open it, and I'll open it for you), or start a whole new issue. This has been going on for far too long, and a fresh voice on git might dispel the prevailing mood of "Oh no - not him/that again."

In the meantime, I've had some success with doing a binary file replacement on Mint 21 - you can download 'artifacts' automatically generated by CI testing on GitHub for any recent pull request. They are statically linked, so you should just need the boincmgr binary. Again, I can guide you through that process. Or Dave can guide you through the steps for a self-build of the Manager on your own system.

I couldn't manage to work in with Boinc Manager.
I will work it again, but just to do my job for now, I have installed BOINC MANAGER (Flatpak) from Linux Mint ''Software Manager''.
Seem that package works fine so far.

Tried it and get error on number 3 command
''boinc -dir ${HOME}/boinc give ''Illigal instruction (core dumped)''.


Every time Linux gets a major update, half of software/ packages got broken for some reason.
Unfortunately, I am a noob using Linux and I got really depressed when I have to set up things from the start....
It is really time consuming and sometimes I have to do a clean install on Linux OS and start all over again...

Been there, done that one. It is probably worth exploring the forums of a few of the projects that use VB. You are certainly not going to be the only one who has had this problem. I still can't get all the projects that use VB to work on my box but as my main project is one that doesn't use it, I can live with that. And as you have discovered, it is not unusual to find one version of something works when another doesn't. I am using VB7.0

I tried some things but I cannot get to work Virtualbox with BOINC in Linux Mint.
I had the latest version installed 7.0. I removed it and installed version 6.1.34, since I have read it is more compatible with BOINC.
Same issue, ''virtualbox is not installed''.

I don't know if it is a compatibility issue with BOINC (flatpak) or a general issue with Linux Mint 21.0
