My computing preference is synced through BAM, but everyday it resets itself to default values and I have to re sync the setting.

Could you give more information, please? And also check whether this thread is the problem you have?

I am running the latest version BOINC manager on a Ubuntu linux machine. I set my computing preference on BAM! and I sync my local manager to it. I have 3 projects but only one seems to be working, which is a separate issue. Every time it lost the preference and I just sync it again and it will work, but it will lose it again after some time, definitely several times a day. What else info can I provide?

I am running the latest version BOINC manager on a Ubuntu linux machine.

From the help thread I pointed out:

Linux specific questions
• In all cases: Please tell us which BOINC version you are using. You can find this information in BOINC Manager->Advanced view->Help->About BOINC Manager, or in case you run without the manager, it'll be in the first line in the start-up messages which either save to the command line window, or to stdoutdae.txt

• Which BOINC are you using, the one from your Linux package manager or the one from Berkeley?

I have 3 projects..

And you see this behaviour on all three projects?
Since it seems to emanate from using the BOINC Account Manager, have you reported this behaviour on their forums?

BOINC Manager version 7.2.42 (x64)
I installed the BOINC from apt-get

I noticed although I have 3 projects on BAM!, only one project has been running (Einstein@home), the other two projects (World Community Grid and SETI@home) never worked. When I force them to update in BOINC manager, it just shows "Communication deferred ...".

Seti is down, will not be up for the foreseeable future and prior to its database crashing there were already warnings that the project would run out of work.

World Community Grid, well here it depends on which sub-projects you chose to run and whether or not these can run on Linux. I haven't got a clue about that, that's something you best ask at their own forums. Also, WCG uses secure HTTP communications, meaning that you need to allow the BOINC binary through any firewall on TCP port 443.

Anyway, I asked the owner of the other thread to post his problem on the BAM forums, which he did. All of the emails I sent about it to the developers ran out without them reacting to it, so best try it via BAM first. As it seems to be their problem of sending an older set of preferences at a newer time than the ones you set through BAM.

So perhaps you can add to the thread over at BAM (as linked to above).
