Message 16476 - Posted: 7 Oct 2005, 9:09:51 UTC

Greetings from Sydney Australia. I needed to reboot my computer (Linux 2.6.13) so I used boincmgr 4.43 to suspend the wu and then suspend CPDN, then I stopped boinc.
On system reboot, I can\'t get boic to resume the CPDN wu.. it says it has no work, must dowenload more work, but in fact just hangs. And boincmgr doesn\'t run either.. the screen doesn\'t appear.
I realise there was no need to actually suspend both the wu and project but that\'s what I did.. how do I unsuspend things if boincmgr won\'t run ?

It\'s a known bug of 4.43: when you suspend, you cannot resume work.
What I do is: choose \"run always\" in Boinc Manager,exit BoincManager, exit Boinc and restart Boinc, restart BoincManager and it\'s working.

Did you try to start Boinc and Boincmanager with command-line ?
First check that there is no other instance of BOINC or Boinc Manager that is already running, then
cd to ~/BOINC and type:
./boinc or
./boincmgr

That\'s exactly what I did.. except that ./boincmgr must be entered in a different terminal widow, as the boinc log is now writing to the first.

BTW, Boinc 5.2.4 is now the official version of BOINC for Linux
Works fine for me, except the crazy completion time for CPDN and some little cosmetic problems.
Don\'t forget to do a backup of the Boinc folder before upgrading.
