When you use repository packages the easiest way to use boinccmd is to first change the current directory to BOINC's data directory and then run boinccmd. The data directory is usually in either /var/lib/boinc or /var/lib/boinc-client.

Also check that your user account can read gui_rpc_auth.cfg file in data directory. If it can't then add the account to boinc group and log out & back in.

Do you have or have you had Windows Subsystem for Linux installed? If you don't have no need to install it.

If you do have WSL installed could you check if boinc.exe has started any WSL processes? Probably easiest to check with Process Explorer so that you can see the process tree.

Whole lot easier to tell where the crash happened when the log tells you the file and line number.

Anyway. Since you ran debug build you probably got a lot more messages, most of them useless. I'm really interested in if you got Failed to initialize IE, CoCreateInstance returned an error message somewhere there.

The one thing I'm not seeing in your list is if you checked with Task Manager that boinc.exe is actually running.

The logs are in stdoutdae.txt and stderrdae.txt files in BOINC's data directory (usually C:\ProgramData\BOINC, you can check the location with the previous, working version from Manager's Event Log).

Check for messages like this in stdoutdae.txt
13-Jul-2018 23:02:10 [---] Setting up project and slot directories
13-Jul-2018 23:02:10 [---] Checking active tasks
13-Jul-2018 23:02:10 [---] Setting up GUI RPC socket
13-Jul-2018 23:02:10 [---] Checking presence of 582 project files
13-Jul-2018 23:02:10 Initialization completed


If the client gets past Setting up GUI RPC socket then, as far as the client knows, the socket is open. If there is an error message instead copy-paste it here.

If boinc.exe is not running then check stderrdae.txt for crash log.

Ok so I've extracted & run the debug version, now what? ;)


Just crash it again and post the new crash log from stderrgui.txt.

The Notices tab is actually a web browser. It doesn't have address bar and you can't navigate anywhere with it but browser nonetheless. The CLSID you posted earlier (which seems to be missing a part) points to ieframe.dll.

Would you be able to guide Jim to the new location for stdoutdae - it *might* be /var/lib/boinc following the systemd changes in v7.10.2


Not that it matters any more but for completeness sake:

Debian's 7.6.33 logs to /var/lib/boinc.log and /var/lib/boincerr.log.
Upstream 7.9.1 logs to systemd's journal. Read with journalctl -u boinc-client or your favourite GUI log reader.
Debian moved to systemd's journal earlier than that but I'm not sure when.

Oh right. Windows Manager does truncate the text but I think it's a wxWidgets on Windows or just Windows issue. In my case the last visible feature in the window is popcount but if copied to clipboard all the features get copied.

That's 300 or so characters. At this point I'd say if Fred thinks client truncates the text he needs to tell where or tell how he accesses the log messages or show network capture with the truncated message.

That usually means package dependencies have conflict. A GUI package tool might be able to tell you what the conflict is but I don't know how because I rarely use them. A sudo apt install opera from Terminal should list conflicting packages.

Nothing to worry about. This is just Debian/Ubuntu/... package change.

The client continues to log into stdoutdae.txt and stderrdae.txt if --redirectio is specified on the command line. Otherwise it outputs to stdout and stderr and you are free to redirect the output where you want.

In Debian package client is now told to do the latter and systemd just grabs the output and puts it into journal.

I peeked at the source code and Manager itself doesn't log error messages, at least not where it's starting the client. Any error message would come from system. If there is an error message it would be very near StartupBOINCCore messages.

We're going to have to keep an eye on this one. I think (but I can't prove it) that immediately after 1803, BOINC Manager didn't appear in that list. Since then, there's been one more monthly rollup (but not a full version upgrade), and now it does.


1803 happened. Manager was on the list right after 1803 upgrade and still is after installing cumulative update.

I don't have an icon in taskbar but that's because I'm using self compiled Manager which has a bug that makes it not have taskbar icon. I was going to install the official 7.10.2 before upgrading but I goofed up and the upgrade started in less controlled fashion than I had planned.

You found a good part of the log but cut it a bit short. There might have been an error message some number of messages later.

That excessive logging is because you are running an old version. It's has been fixed in newer versions.

The logs is now managed by systemd's journald. You can read them with journalctl -u boinc-client or your favourite GUI log reader.

If you must have the log in a file Stack Overflow tells you how.

I was hoping that something would stand out but with that big log nobody's going to read it.

Were the lines in the something like this

Function Start/End: something::something - Function Begin
Function Start/End: something::something - Function End


by any chance?

Anyway, so now it works every time?

I haven't updated to 1803 yet. Remind me to check the list after I have updated.

From your first link

All notification icons are now hidden by default and that visibility cannot be programmatically controlled. Only the user is allowed to choose which notification icons appear on the taskbar.


The best we might be able to do is provide a link to the settings app somewhere.

This is my 16.04 .desktop file that I copied over from one of my 16.04 machines.


Looks ok. The new packages shouldn't have made any difference. Not sure why it didn't work at first. Manager logs in $HOME/.BOINC/std{out,err}gui.txt might have clues.
