Yay 15M :D
My quad opteron cruncher with the really old glitchy BOINC had a queue list to upload about a mile long again. It randomly gets stuck in the uploads so I have to reboot it. Wish I had gotten the newer, stable BOINC but I can't quite figure out how to upgrade it in linux :p: :zombie:
If you're using Ubuntu and installed from the repositories it's not that hard.
Just download the latest stable from Berkley and extract it in your home folder. It should create a folder named BOINC.
Then open a terminal and:
cd BOINC
sudo /etc/init.d/boinc-client stop
sudo cp boinc boinccmd boincmgr /usr/bin
sudo /etc/init.d/boinc-client start
all done.
I might have gotten it from the repositories. I followed the "linux idiot guide" sticky and it resulted in installing an old beta release - I should have checked for new versions to begin with :hitself:
I'll give that a shot. Thanks. Should I empty my WU cache first or will they move into the new version without issue?
Just make sure you stop the client first and you should have no issues.
Hope you don't mind me picking your brain a little. I get what the first command does (change directory), and the second (stop client), and the fourth (start client), but what is the third one doing? Is it the install/upgrade command?
No trouble at all :)
The middle command: "sudo cp boinc boinccmd boincmgr /usr/bin" copies (with root authority) the binary files boinc, boinccmd and boincmgr from the current directory (BOINC) to the system directory where they were installed by the package manager. We don't actually need to reinstall the client like you would with Windows, we can just drop the new binary files (the ones we extracted from the Berkley download) over the old ones and restart everything.

Yeah, the tags "seared retinas" and "my eyes burn" are quite fitting now!
