Since a few days I cannot upload or download anything with boinc/setiathome anymore. I'm using boinc client version 5.10.45 for i586-pc- linux-gnu and setiathome_enhanced version 5.27 on Mandriva Linux Cooker. As Cooker changes daily I tried to find any programme or library change that might have been the cause, but going back to the older version before I stopped being able to connect made no difference, so that does not appear to be the cause. I reinstalled boinc from scratch: no difference. When I try to upload any of the finished tasks I get above error; when I tried to update, I get: "[error] Couldn't start download of scheduler list: http error" It would appear that the above error has to do something with he way curl connects with the aide of the file "ca-bundle.crt" in my BOINC directory, but there appears nothing wrong with that. I also tried with the same file from /etc/pki/certs, but that made no difference either. Now I am at loss what to try and would appreciate any assistance to connect again. Thanks i.a. |

Looks like a library problem. Which BOINC client do you use ? Have you tried the offical BOINC client from boinc.berkeley.edu ? - So far I know is it liked staticly, so you should not have this library problems... |

Could you please post the messages from a connection attempt when this errror happens. Also the output from "ldd boinc_client" would be helpfull. Do you use an proxy or firewall ? |

Could you please post the messages from a connection attempt when this errror happens. See above in my first post: [error] Couldn't create curlEasy handle and [error] Couldn't start download of scheduler list: http error Also the output from "ldd boinc_client" would be helpfull.

Could you please post the messages from a connection attempt when this errror happens. I would see the messages in the context what exactly happening ! Do you have the boinc or boincclient binary in your BOINc directory. - I need the ldd from the BOINC client binary. |

From your previous msg: I don't use a proxy or firewall (except shorewall/iptables, of course). Could you please post the messages from a connection attempt when this errror happens.

One more bit of information: counting backwards I found that the moment my seti connection to the seti server stopped working was during last week's server outage for maintenance on Tuesday evening: early evening I uploaded my last few tasks that I could get through, these same are still "Ready to report". I dunno if it has any bearing, but chances are. |

I'm working on my last task I downloaded before the error appeared and the oldest tasks are nearly overdue. So I do hope somebody can give me some clues to fix this. Thanks i.a. ! |

I found the cause of the problem: /etc/nsswitch.conf was not readable to the user. Fixed and working again. Thanks for your time. |
