Does anybody know of any builds of Boinc newer than 7.14.2 for Debian/Unbuntu 64bit ???
I am using 7.9.3 as it is the latest from Ubuntu for 18.04.3 which I am using.

Me too.
Forgot to say that i am running Kubuntu 19.04
Good Morning
Running 7.14.2 on my 5 computers, including a Kubuntun 19.04, 3 x Win10s and a Xubuntu 19.04, all with specialised setups though.
if you don't mind adding the BOINC PPA via this link
https://launchpad.net/~costamagnagianfranco/+archive/ubuntu/boinc (https://launchpad.net/~costamagnagianfranco/+archive/ubuntu/boinc)
They have version 7.16.3 available.
Cheers

The update worked great, simple to follow instructions, then rebooted the system and :boom: grub was corrupted. Luckily i found another simple method to repair/rescue grub.
" Get Ubuntu live USB/DVD stick and boot into the live desktop.
Connect to the Internet and then open your terminal.
Install Boot Repair Tool by entering these commands –
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && boot-repair
Boot repair tool will appear. Select the recommended option and follow all steps exactly as it says. Your PC will be repaired and Nothing will be lost. "
Everything was repaired and the system is up and running with BOINC 7.16.3. So far there has been no crashes or errors.
Thanks heaps tazzduke +1
Hi NudgeyNR
No worries, wow that was unexpected with the GRUB failure, well there is a first time for everything.
With my 2 x Linux boxes have the BOINC in the my home directory, found it easier to make adjustments, also running the Linux SETI Cuda Special App.
With the 3 x Win10 boxes, it just hasnt occurred to me to update, as all is working rock solid since I did clean installs last year.
Happy Days.
Would there be any problems using this version on a RPI4 ?
