Posted 24 Jul 2024 by crashtech 		Please disregard, the new version did install at some point but perhaps the old one was still in memory, even though I had purged the old version. A simple reboot fixed the problem.

Posted 24 Jul 2024 by crashtech 		Here is the version:
NAME="Linux Mint"
VERSION="21 (Vanessa)"
ID=linuxmint
ID_LIKE="ubuntu debian"
PRETTY_NAME="Linux Mint 21"
VERSION_ID="21"
HOME_URL="https://www.linuxmint.com/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://forums.linuxmint.com/"
BUG_REPORT_URL="http://linuxmint-troubleshooting-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/"
PRIVACY_POLICY_URL="https://www.linuxmint.com/"
VERSION_CODENAME=vanessa
UBUNTU_CODENAME=jammy

I will try again with the instructions for Ubuntu 22.04 when I have a moment, and document the outputs of each command more thoroughly.

Posted 24 Jul 2024 by crashtech 		Here's what I get when following the directions outlined on this page: https://boinc.berkeley.edu/linux_install.php?os_num=4&build=stable

# sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 40254C9B29853EA6
Warning: apt-key is deprecated. Manage keyring files in trusted.gpg.d instead (see apt-key(8)).
Executing: /tmp/apt-key-gpghome.MsGFypOXmZ/gpg.1.sh --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 40254C9B29853EA6
gpg: key 40254C9B29853EA6: "Vitalii Koshura (BOINC DEB and RPM repos key) <lestat.de.lionkur@gmail.com>" not changed
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:              unchanged: 1

If I then follow the rest of the instructions, an old version of BOINC gets re-installed, presumably because the repository was not properly added.

Posted 21 Aug 2018 by crashtech 		This behavior is occurring on about one in ten of my clients. I'm wondering if there might be some sort of workaround until the next release presumably fixes it? It's really the inconsistency that's the problem for me, if they were all like that, I'd adapt quicker.
