I am running Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.10 (Ootpa) on a Dell computer.

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?

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?

I notice my log is mostly full of lines like

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.
