Someone posted this a while ago and I saved it because I had the same proble with a 'sh' file:


open Konsole/console
navigate to the Desktop (Capital D)

Type sh boinc_5.10.18_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh(or whatever it's called, it must be Exact and have the .sh at the end)

that should create a folder named "BOINC" on the desktop

open folder, click on Boinc, then Boincmgr.exe


As far as I remember for the other part, go to Advanced tab, Select computer, and select localhost. Try searching the messageboards for linux help at the beginning of October. There was a thread that dealt with this.

shane

ok i got a quick fix for anyone with this problem.

go to administration
synaptic manager
in the scroll box on the left
click on science (universe)
in the right scroll box
look for package name
boinc-app-seti
right click on it and mark for installation
then click the apply button on the top of the page.
then open boinc and follow the attach project wizzard.



thanks for all the help guys.

but the 1st command in that should now be

Other than this small tweak I followed your wiki and had 64bit boinc up and running in little time and my Boinc Manager connects to the Boinc-Client just fine.
