Hi!

I've been running BOINC client + manager under Ubuntu 20.04 for almost a year and everything has been fine until today: after turning my computer on, I ran BOINC Manager and the system crashed as soon as the window showed. The client runs fine, it's just when I open the manager to see the tasks running .
The problem can be reproduced, as it happens every time I open the manager, even with the client service stopped.

/var/log/syslog shows the following at the very moment I open the program (copied at the end of the message).

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance.

Looks like some dependency that the Manager needs got yanked out from underneath it. An update in possibly QT5 maybe from the logs or more likely something in the amd drivers that affected the Manager from the logs.

Quick thing to check is to run the Manager executable against ldd.

From the /usr/bin directory where the Manager executable resides try this and look for any >> not found messages against each of the library dependencies.

sudo ldd ./boincmgr

If you find any not found dependency you can try and determine which package provides that library and reinstall or update it and try to clear the fault.

---

Thanks for you reply.

The dependencies seem ok (output copied at the end of this message).
Are there any other logs that I can check to find the cause of the crash?
What packages could be reinstalled? Updating the amdgpu driver may help?

Cheers.

Doesn't look like there are any missing dependencies. Have you looked in /var/crash for any files yet?

The other simple thing to do is to navigate back to /usr/bin, open a Terminal and launch the Manager manually in the terminal with:

sudo ./boincmgr

and watch for any errors that it dumps to the terminal for any more hints as to why it is crashing.

You already said you didn't find any smoking gun entries in the syslog so I don't see any more chance that will help further.

So the next thing I would try is to reinstall the AMD drivers as they might have gotten corrupted. I would purge them all first and revert to the stock Nouveau drivers, reboot and reinstall them again and see if that allows the Manager to launch properly.

Also maybe the Manager got corrupted and a BOINC purge and reinstall of the Manager might be the fix.

sudo apt install boinc-manager

Completely purging the AMD Radeon drivers, rebooting, reinstalling them again and rebooting seems to have solved the problem.
I didn't have to reinstall boinc-manager.

Thanks a lot for your support, Keith!

Happy you were able to fix the issue. Corruption of system files can be a bear to diagnose and trace down.
