![]() :-) On re-boot, the only manager available from the menu is the one I put there, 7.0.27 with the broken menu bar. I can now have both managers open at the same time. However, of course, since it is opened from the terminal it disappears when I close the terminal. Installation went as expected, and using ~/Downloads/BOINC/run_manager results in a functioning manager version 6.10.58 which connects to the already running projects and gives me all the usual items on the menu bar. Having realised that all is not well, I then followed the installation instructions for the file I had downloaded, as opposed to the "apt-get install" ones. The menu bar has only a single entry, and that is truncated and reads "Fil". The version started this way is boinc-manager 7.0.27(x86). ![]() Once started, I re-attached to my projects and started crunching. This turned out to use "boincmgr" as the start command, which I have not seen documented anywhere. I could find no way to start the boinc manager, until I used a menu editor in Lubuntu ("menulibre" I installed separately) and created a new launcher. This suggested that I might want to install using apt-get install boinc-client boinc-manager. To re-install the Boinc client and manager, I downloaded the recommended file, boinc_6.10.58_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh, and then looked at the install instructions again on the WCG page. ![]() I'm running a clean install of Lubuntu 13.04, but with /home on a separate partition, and that may be the cause of the trouble. It's running now, but the manager is borked. I've never really got a handle on the install process each time I've changed my operating system, but usually muddled through to get it running. I have been running WCG for some years now, and have had several different Linux systems during that time.
