I downloaded the new boinc version 5.10.21 but after running the shell script, when i run ./run_manager the BOINC manager that appears does not show any men bar. The buttons don't have any text on them and in general no text (except in the message window) is displayed.

I am using Ubuntu 7.04. Intel Pentium M machine. Can anybody tell me how to fix this problem, because the older verion that i was using worked fine for me.

Infact when i reverted back to 5.8.16 everthing seems to be working fine. Is 5.8.21 incompatible with Ubuntu 7.04 or do i have a missing dependency that's preventing any of the buttons to work, any of the menu items to be displayed and preventing me from typing any text in the attach project option?

From the change log:

Linux, Linux x64 5.10.28

Howdy Folks,

I have released a newer Linux client for testing. Please note, we have had a policy change, we will be releasing a command line compatible with as many Linux distro’s as possible package, and a Ubuntu 7.10 specific package with a GTK2 based GUI. I would be interested to know if the Ubuntu release will work with any other distros.

Please log bugs to http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac and log test results to http://boinc.berkeley.edu/alpha.

TIA.

So unfortunately it looks like you'll have to stick to an older version of BOINC or move up to Ubuntu 7.10 or stick to the command line version.
