I have upgraded to the BOINC sofware. I'm running it without problems from 2 Windows machines and one Linux machine. But from the second Linux machine, it won't run. When I started it, I get the following message:

I don't understand the message about lack of disk space. I got over 17 Gb free!

Are your disk preferences OK ? - (Your account / View or edit general preferences / Disk and memory usage)

This are the defaults :

Use no more than 1 GB disk space
Leave at least 0.1 GB disk space free
Use no more than 50% of total disk space
Write to disk at most every 60 seconds
Use no more than 75% of total virtual memory

If you here have wrong settings, the boinc client won't donwload anything.

I have got the same problem as dahls, but whereas he got "No disk space (YOU must free 158.5 MB before BOINC gets space)." I got "No disk space (YOU must free 23.5 MB before BOINC gets space)."
To add: My boinc client is running on a partition with 2.3 Gigs of free space under Mandriva 2005. The whole partition is 6.4 Gigs of size. It is not a root- or a home partition, but a seperate one. I have removed nearly 500 MB of files there to get it run, changed my prefs to 0.01% of total disk space, but to no avail ... :(
Is it looking for whatever reason on another partition for this space?
Any help would be really appreciated :)

Have you updated your client prefs, after the change of the values on the web site ?
Can you try to set "Use no more than XX% of total disk space" to a high value, for example 80 or 90 %.

What the hell is going on? I have visited the above mentioned page, but seem to be unable to find help there ... :(
I had run the "run_client -update_prefs <URL>" command btw. ....

Strange, looks like you have lot your attachment to the project.
Can you please re attach this computer to the project.

Via commandline? Or from my "Your account" page?

Best via the command line (boinc_client -attach_project http://setiathome.berkeley.edu $PUT_IN_YOU_ACCOUNT_KEY) or within the boinc manager.

Just for the record: I had to reset and to detach the project first to get it started ... :( At first, I got only something like "already attached to project ...", but after resetting, detaching and then reattaching the project, boinc started downloading an new WU. But now I get only "temporarily failed download of <client name>" respectively "temporarily failed download of <WU name>" ... :(
But a progress anyhow ... ;)

Good !
Berkeley has a problem in the moment, so no up- or downloads are posible :

O.K., thanks for the answer. My WU download finished meanwhile, whereas my s@h client still tries to download ... :( I will stop it then, and wait 'til tomorrow morning ... ;)

had nearly same problem, but had to up disk space to 15gb to get anything working. tried lower values still would not let me download. as i said when i put in 15gb, updated,then it would let me download.my settings were 4gb to start with until i updated to 5.2.13
