• I have boinc problems with Mageia 9

    From Grimble@2:250/1 to All on Mon Sep 25 17:07:10 2023
    Any boinc users having a problem with the new release? Using version
    7.24.1.
    I get a message that boincmgr cannot start a boinc-client, but attempts
    to do so terminate with a -192 error message, which I think is to do
    with write permissions on client_state.xml. My attempt to make it
    writeable result in its replacement with a read-only version.

    Mageia 9 got a review in the Distrowatch Weekly newsletter of yesterday. It was not great so best to go defend it against the
    reviewer or have the developers read it and get some clues.
