Getting repeatedly crash reports regarding boinc and the einstein project in Hardy

[Matthias Andersson]

After upgrading to 8.04 I'm receiving several error messages directing to /var/lib/boinc-client/projects/einstein.phys.uwm.edu/einstein_S5R3_4.38_graphics_i686-pc-linux-gnu

The error reporting tool will not work as it's not a packaged application, which is correct, I suppose, only the client is available through the Synaptic packet manager, not the projects themselves...

[Daniel Hahler (blueyed)]

Yes, there's not much we can do about this, except finding the cause of those crashes (as it appears to have worked with Gutsy).
Are there any indications in /var/lib/boinc-client/std{out,err}dae.txt (you need to open these files as root/boinc)?

I'm running Einstein@Home myself, on a AMD64 (32bit), without any crashes.

The stderrdae.txt file is 0 bytes in size but the following remarks are
found repeatedly in stdoutdae.txt:

These are the three projects I have attached my client to.

[Daniel Hahler (blueyed)]

I believe the log messages are expected, since projects get turned over every 60 minutes by default and this appears to be only a note about this.
AFAIK there should be more info maybe on the project page, when you look at the "Error" result..

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.
