The following appears in my log file:

app_info.xml file does not have a usable version of SETI@home v7

I am using a Linux box and running Boinc 7.0.29

Other projects shared on this CPU are processing, downloading, uploading normaly, but not SETI.

Must I download a later version of BOINC to support SETI? If not then what might be the problem?

No, you must download a new version of SETI not of BOINC. And of course, you'll have to adjust your app_info.xml file accordingly.

How do you force a download of the seti project? remove the old seti directory and reset the project from within BOINC? and where is the new app_info.xml file.
The one I ran with I got from Lunatics. Do I need to get it from them or is there another depository?

Yes, you will have to get the new ones from Lunatics here.

The Cuda x41g Linux app is still made out for MB v6 use only, For Linux Cuda MB v7 use he'll need to use the app_info snippet posted by William:

Just rename the app_info, and restart Boinc, you'll get sent the Stock v7 CPU apps, once you're got them you'll need to construct a new app_info using the Stock 7.01 Linux CPU app, and the new MB v7 app_info snippit.

The following should work (assuming you got sent the setiathome_7.01_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu app, and assuming the permissions for the apps are right):

<app_info>

Thanks for elaborating on the finer points of integrating MBv7 into his setup.

Hand to hand combat on Linux hosts isn't my strong suit. ;-)

I renamed the app_info.xml file, restarted the boinc client and created a new app_info.xml file based upon your code fragment. I do not have the setiathome_7.01_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu file. It did not download.

You should be able to download it manually from

http://boinc2.ssl.berkeley.edu/sah/download_fanout/setiathome_7.01_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu

apologize for delay in responding. needed to upgrade kernel and gpu drivers. always a bit of a challenge on Linux.

Seems to be working now.

Thanks for all the input.
