1) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : can't install BOINC on Ubuntu (Message 6266) Posted 18 Sep 2023 by Skip Da Shu Post: In Ubuntu/Debian distribution, you can easily install BOINC as: sudo apt install boinc-manager boinc-client. It's a Mint/Ubuntu thing I first saw with Mint 21.1. Actually boinc-client will start and run after the install (I use the costamagnagianfranco PPA but not required) but you'll have to open a terminal and start boincmgr with: sudo /usr/bin/boincmgr I read someplace it's a install permissions problem. It's still broken in Mint v21.2 (Ubuntu 22.04 LTS) and yes still works fine in v20.3 (20.04.5 LTS) Skip
