How-To: Ubuntu cruncher! Install and forget

[Ramaistro]

You don't want to start the boinc manager at boot time, you should be starting the boinc client (using the run_client script). As for the missing package, try changing the server you are downloading from (it's a setting in the 'software sources' menu). I have no idea about the stupid wireless thing, I'm sorry. I gave up on mine and went for a crawl under the house to run a cable instead.

Tnx for the reply. Found out WICD is a great alternative for network manager and will auto connect without all the prompting.

Trying the run-cleint script thingy now.

About the package installation what server and how to change it?
