Comment 114 for bug 991179

Just tried to run your 7.27 on Dell 630 laptop which had no problem before 12.04 upgrade and I get computation error on all work units for Seti@home.

Thanks,

Ben

I'm reallllllly trying to figure out how to free up a machine for quantal. I may be able to, but I'll only be able to test i386.

There's also virtualbox, but I don't think that's sufficient for testing...

Title:
  7.0.24 "computation error" bug

Status in “boinc” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hi. Repository versions 7.0.24, (I assume 7.0.25) and 7.0.26 have a
  known bug which affects users with various hardware running Ubuntu
  12.04. The bug makes the boinc software unable to process any work-
  units.

  This is a known bug by a growing group of S@H Boinc users running
  Ubuntu 12.04 and other Debain variants.

  As soon as there is a version out which overcomes this bug, the
  repository package may want to be changed.

  Thanks.

  [edit] it seems this bug is only caused by the repository installs of Boinc. When one installs Boinc from the Berkeley website the issue does not exist.
  Also, the bug only seems to exist for seti@home users, apparently all other projects are unaffected? (I'm now curious it may affect "Quake Catcher Network")
