Hi everyone,

I download the latest boinc client version boinc_7.0.31_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.sh and I start it like this "./run_manager". When I try to add a project my console shows the message "/home/csgrid/Downloads/BOINC/boinc: error while loading shared libraries: libXss.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

How can I fix it? I am using Ubuntu.

Thanks!
Felipe

Hello,

you sadly did not say what version of Ubuntu you are running. The newer ones should already have 7.0.34 offered from
https://launchpad.net/~pkg-boinc/+archive/ppa
and/or
https://launchpad.net/~costamagnagianfranco/+archive/boinc

Both efforts collaborate with the Debian folks, aiming at a coherent experience across distros.

Hm. Ok. To help out somewhat more directly, try
sudo apt-get install libxss1

The above may fail for earlier versions of Ubuntu. In that case try apt-cache search libxss to find out the package name and install that, instead.

Steffen

sudo apt-get install libxss1 should fix the problem.

Next time I suggest you to install apt-file, run an apt-file update and an apt-file search libXss.so

regards

G.
