Well - then how DO I make your clean install ?

I made the upgrade over windows update - so I have no install media .. and I'm not really happy having to download the iso (again) , write it to DVD / USB , and having to reinstall about 50 applications and games again - where I know that for about half of them I dont have a disc anymore nor an ISO or installer ...

on the other hand - my windows 10 (home 64 german) runs anything fine, that the previous win 7 did - including boinc ... so I really don't care about the small portion of tools that stopped working due to incompatibility (o&o defrag 18 ... won't start, update or even de-install without a patch from o&o software - but they made that patch and O&O defrag 19 runs fine ...)
So my impression is - it comes down to the support of the software developers if you have problems or a more or less flawless experience with windows 10

Thanks Juha - that really helped, but leaves some questons unanswered.
I hope it will get better once we get raspbian from debian stretch on the pi

Thanks for your hints, SakeRob2

Yes I've read about Debian related trouble - part of the problem is that the /etc/ssl/certs directory belongs to root and all files in it as well - and ca-bundle.crt is a symlink to /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt - and therefore likewise belongs to root while boinc runs under boinc:boinc

Though my first try with replacing the symlink with the "raw" file and make it accessible to boinc:boinc didn't work - boinc expects the file under CApath which directs to /etc/ssl/certs

I'll tinker around some more and report back

Well, my boinc manager reports a client version of 7.4.23.

I enabled some more debug messages and now its clear - E@H wants to connect via https.

I'll dig around some more and report back if I can solve the issue. Part of the issue seems to be the access rights to ca-bundle.crt and the path boinc expects that file...

Thanks for your reply.
As for your question, I am not 100% sure - but out of my 14 projects only WCG and E@H complain about the ca certificate - so I assume both use https, while the others either don't - or are satisfied with the installed certificates, while those 2 aren't. I checked the file ca-bundle.crt and it contains dozens of certificates.

I must admit, that I am not that pro with the raspi yet - but I installed the latest boinc directly from the raspbian repositories and I know that both projects used to be able to communicate before I recently had to rewrite the image and install boinc anew.

Well .. turns out IT IS A (small) PROBLEM...

I've been running boinc for some years - and on windows it's running fine - but as of recently I started running it on my raspberry pi ... And this little bugger now reports the nice ca certificate error for E@H and WCG ... the error started after I reinstalled the raspbian image and therefore had to install boinc anew.

I did a quick google search which lead me to an old error-report back in 2009 with the same errors - only that the offered ca-bundle.crt file obviously contains the now disabled certs - and can't be downloaded anymore ...

Any hints what I can do? Or will it really fix over time ? Though its kinda annoying seeing that error message for more than 2 weeks ...
