Binary package hint: boinc

Had installed boinc from website, but would not run properly. Deleted install script and BOINC subdirectory and installed from package manager. Then ran Boinc Manager from Gnome Menu, but got 'failed to connect' errors. Completely uninstalled all BOINC componenents from package manager, but was given error on boinc-client. Ran `ps aux |grep boinc` to see if user boinc had programs running still. 2 remained. Was about to reboot system when crash icon rose from taskbar. Plan to reinstall again, in hopes that previous attempt at manual install would be completely wiped out (I didn't modify anything outside of my home directory, such as /var/lib), so I can start fresh.
