You should check the ownership and rights in the BOINC folder.
(especially in the slots)

I also have need of some instruction on these app_info.xml files. Is it just me or are these an absolute abomination? I don't see the order there. ...

I tried to reorder it (but mind I don't use Linux) (empty lines in app_info.xml file are OK to use)
(since you don't have setiathome_enhanced tasks I used only setiathome_v7)

God idea on ownership, but its all ok. Could it be a library outside of boinc that its using? BTW: I don’t have the ability to run native, so to speak, the change to use a new glibc 2.3.2 or higher really screwed me, its not practical to try to upgrade glibc either, too much depends on it. I have to compile boinc in order to use it. Maybe its related to that somehow. But, is ti boinc? or is it the seti executable? How far back can i go with boinc versions and still run seti v7?

I looked into the glibc BOINC issue when I downgraded to Ubuntu 10.04. You're correct, updating it isn't really possible. I was surprised to find BOINC v7 is incompatible with about 95% of Linux systems, not good. I first tried BOINC 6.10.xx and it seemed to be missing the GPU section in the Activity Menu. I then found a precompiled version of 6.12.33. 6.12 seems to be very close to BOINC v7 and works fine for me using x41g with SETI version 7 tasks. The Ubuntu version I used is here, “Debian BOINC Maintainers” team
Good Luck.

sorry its taken me so long t reply here. I ended up reformatting and re-installing. It didn’t help, the MB v7 stock app gets stuck. So, i am now running x41g cuda and MBv7_7.05r1848_sse3_linux64 which i just started up about 20 minutes ago. It looks promising, I'm crunching mb v7 cpu and nvidia cuda. I will know more in a day or so.
The root cause of the previously posted problems is something in the stock seti app that just doesn’t sit well with this OpenSuse 12.3 installation.

Just a follow up - using my locally compiled version of boinc 7.0.65 and the 2 executable files:

   MBv7_7.05r1848_sse3_linux64 (Seti V7.05)  
   setiathome_x41g_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu_cuda32 (seti v7.00 cuda32)

has worked fine, I can crunch both CPU MB and NVidia Cuda WU's with no apparent issues.
My OS is OpenSuse 12.3 kernel 3.7.10-1.16-desktop, on a SNB-E 6 Core/HT with Nvidia GTX-460 using the proprietary Nvidia Driver 319.32
I'm posting this info in case any one else has similar problems and could benefit from my resolution.
