1) Message boards : Questions and problems : BOINC 7.0.27 manager can't connect to client (Message 46015)

Same problem here. Ubuntu 12.04, repository 7.0.27, starting Boinc manager from a gui startup folder. Always, the manager cannot connect to core client. So I stop the manager and restart. Then it works. This tells me all my tcp/ip settings are OK and that the core client starts running.

I got tired of this routine. (I had left boinc manager in the startup folder as a reminder to get it running.) So I followed this advice:
"Is it possible another gui_rpc_auth.cfg file is on your system, within a directory that BOINC can read?"
"Yes i found 5 of them some empty or with some string in it. I just delete some of them and everything is fine now."

I found several gui_rpc_auth.cfg's and deleted them. Now the manager won't connect with the core client no matter what I try. Reinstalling didn't work, either.

Here's a screen print. My comments are in ALL CAPS:

boinc & boincmgr &16-Oct-2012 15:04:57 [---] Suspending computation - CPU is busy
16-Oct-2012 15:05:37 [---] Resuming computation

From the suspension and resumption of computation I assume the boinc client is working fine. Two questions:
1. How can I abandon the repository and switch to the Berkeley _without_losing_my_work?
2. Failing that, how can I help the manager locate the core client?
2) Message boards : Questions and problems : apt-get vs. sh (Message 44827)

Post:
"apt-get install boinc" puts new boinc versions in some different place from where the .sh, run from my Downloads directory, places them. Should I copy the .sh file to some other directory to make it work?
