Can you please try the 6.12.x series from Daniel's repository and try with that again?

Upstream will certainly also address something for 6.10.59, which is the current
stable version, but ... it would need to be reproducible. Is it?

Also, I need to say that the debug information I found not so very usable.
Did you also have boinc-dbg installed? This would help.

Many greetings

Steffen

Hi,

boinc always crashes when it starts; I can provide my /var/lib/boinc-client dir if this is needed to reproduce.

I've installed boinc-dbg now and ran boinc in gdb. Looking at the stack backtrace the problem seems to be related to long paths inside the .wine directory (didn't even know boinc uses wine):

Hi Swen, have many thanks for rerunning with symbols.

@David: It's two bugs, confirmed on both 6.12.18 and
6.12.59 with Ubuntu.

It is apparently caused by a circular path below /sys
leading to an exceeded length of some internal path
representation. The first bug is that the recursion was
not noted (ten years ago I contributed that for WINE by
collecting the inodes that have been visited, there may
be better ideas now).

The second bug is that BOINC should just spot the long
path before there memory issue happens.

Best regards,

Steffen

Any idea where I can get a fixed version for Maverick (10.10)? Currently running 6.10.58+dfsg3

The new version has been removed from the download site because of a showstopper bug found some days ago.

@mlx if you really want to install it you can install from debian UNSTABLE [1] or manually from the boinc ALPHA download site: [2]
