I've got a couple of Ubuntu 8.04 hosts running 5.10.45 that have 'lost' a project or two (can't connect, can't attach etc).

When this happens on my XP machines I just run the installer and select 'repair' and all of the broken projects come back to life and keep all of my existing projects and WUs :)

No idea how to do the same in Ubuntu though. Ideas?

Cheers,

Al.

p.s. Not interested in upgrading the OS or the BOINC version thanks!

FWIW, just shutting down BOINC and reinstalling repairs the install and leaves all existing projects and WUs in place. Which is nice :)
