I am running Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.10 (Ootpa) on a Dell computer. CPU type GenuineIntel Intel(R) Xeon(R) W-2245 CPU @ 3.90GHz [Family 6 Model 85 Stepping 7] Number of processors 16 Operating System Linux Red Hat Enterprise Linux Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.10 (Ootpa) [4.18.0-553.el8_10.x86_64|libc 2.28] BOINC version 7.20.2 Memory 125.08 GB Cache 16896 KB I am running boinc version 7.20.2 from EPEL that is the latest version available from them for my system. Now I run the boinc manager almost all the time and it works fine unless I select the top left tab that currently says Notices (2). When I select that, the boinc manager seems to vanish and stops runing. Wondering if something went wrong with the code, I re-installed the boinc manager from the .rpm and it made no difference. Is it just me, or do thers have this problem too? In any case, what do I do to fix it? ![]() |

I haven't run an RPM distro since Mandrake so am not sure about how to get other versions other than flatpack or rolling your own. To me it feels a bit like the bug that would crash the manager when switching from simple to advanced view. Anyone else on an RPM distro got any ideas? |

To me it feels a bit like the bug that would crash the manager when switching from simple to advanced view. I just tried that, switching from advanced view to simple view (or whatever they are called) and then back to advanced view and it worked with no trouble. ![]() |

I set the Boinc Manager process to simple view and asked for Notices and it crashed just like the advanced view does. ![]() |

Now it says there are three notices, but the Boinc manager exits without a word if I select the tab. Where in the file system are the notices kept? I should look at them, their ownership, and permissions. I rummaged around in /var/lib/boinc/notices but it does not seem to be what I thought. ![]() |

Boinc manager stores logs in ~/.BOINC/stderrgui.txt Maybe it wrote crash log there? |

Boinc manager stores logs in ~/.BOINC/stderrgui.txt I notice my log is mostly full of lines like (boincmgr:170309): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 16:32:36.348: gtk_box_gadget_distribute: assertion 'size >= 0' failed in GtkNotebook |

I am running boinc version 7.20.2 from EPEL that is the latest version available from them for my system. On this page there is a drop down menu which lets you choose instructions from various flavours of Fedora which I am pretty sure would work on Red Hat. |
