Just updated both the client and the manager to the latest 64 bit version for Linux - 6.6.31.

The client is working fine however whenever I start the BOINC manager nothing happens. I look at the running processes and I see boincmgr in state futex_wait. I wait but it doesn't do anything and so I kill it.

There's nothing I can see in the system logs and if I go back to the previous version of the manager I had installed (6.4.5) it works fine.

Anyone else see this behaviour? Anything I can check? Anyone have a solution?

Specs: Client/Manager 6.6.31 on Ubuntu 9.04 64bit, Q6600, 8GB RAM

Cheers,

Mark.

I know, I know, bad form to reply to your own posts...

I note that 6.6.31 for Linux has moved back to "use only for testing". Are there other issues I should worry about? The client seems to be happy... :-)

That depends on whether you really mean 6.6.31, or 6.6.36.

6.6.36 was moved back to development because of problems with BOINC Manager not wanting to connect to the client on certain distros.

You are right! 6.6.36 is the version that is in testing. I installed 6.6.31 when it was the recommended version (for Linux 64bit) and now we have gone back to 6.4.5.

No matter - I have client 6.6.31 crunching away and talking to manager 6.4.5. All seems well. I will await a new release of both before updating and seeing if the original problem is fixed!

Cheers,

Mark.
