Do you have the boinc client and seti app compiled by yourself, or where do you get the binaries from. You still need to create a app_info.xml in the projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu directory. A sample app_info.xml : <app_info> <app> <name>setiathome_enhanced</name> </app> <file_info> <name>setiathome-5.12.hppa2.0w-hp-hpux11i</name> </file_info> <app_version> <app_name>setiathome_enhanced</app_name> <version_num>512</version_num> <file_ref> <file_name>setiathome-5.12.hppa2.0w-hp-hpux11i</file_name> <main_program/> </file_ref> </app_version> </app_info> You have go to change the filename setiathome-5.12.hppa... to the excatly filename of the seti binary. Also you have got to change version_num to the version number (without the dot) of your binary. ID: 326318 ·

I may be way off base here, but it looks like something is wrong with the BOINC client from Synaptics Package manager. I wonder if you'd be better off downloading fresh Linux BOINC from the BOINC website or from the Seti download page, put the sh file in your home folder, open a terminal and sh boinc*, then cd BOINC, then ./run_client, then open a second shell (as a default tab) and ./run_manager.

Do you get still the same errors ? - You must stop the boinc before installing the app_info.xml and the restart it again. At the startup there should be a message "Found app_info.xml; using anonymous platform" which reports, that the app_info.xml was found. There is no offical binary for PPC Linux. But on the third party site from Stefan Urbat. They are really good tested and has also a very good performance... ID: 329121 ·

I downloaded 64 bit Suse 10.1 OSS, since they said their AMD 64 BOINC only works with Suse and is slow with Ubuntu. But I need to get a DVD-R to burn the iso.........
