I'd like to point out a minor problem with the latest version of BOINC Manager when run on Debian Etch (2.6.17 Kernel). The Website buttons the the Tasks panel no longer work. In 5.4.9 the functioned correctly and a new tab in my firefox was opened pointing to the correct URL (team, results, etc.). In 5.4.11, however I get this output:
execvp(gedit, http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/team_display.php?teamid=30242) failed with error 2!
execvp(gedit, http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/results.php?userid=8513527) failed with error 2!
and the browser does not open.
Could this be a bug with the new version? I haven't changed any setting between 5.4.9 and 5.4.11
Thanks

Hum, there is now a 5.4.11 for Linux from the BOINC download site. My bad. :)

Where did you download it from?

I ask as the only version 5.4.11 that is released through here is the Windows version. And all that had in changes was an extra RPC to call the firewall software that BOINC screen saver wanted to get through.

So I think you should report this at the place (3rd party site) where you downloaded it from.

No Ageless, the downloads pages is clever enough to detect your OS. When I click on "downloads" from the BOINC site I am offered the Linux version of 5.4.11 and no other version. I assume the same happens to you and that you're running windows. I can send you a screenshot of the downloads page that I see on BOINC if you need convincing.
Cheers,

Cheers for that Jord. I've made a bug report (#573) so the devs should be aware of the problem now.
