[Bug 543141] boinc-client crash a few seconds after start

http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=543141 User pim.bollen@tuxpower.nl added comment http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=543141#c4 Pim Bollen changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |pim.bollen@tuxpower.nl --- Comment #4 from Pim Bollen 2009-11-03 07:46:01 MST --- I think I found the reason for crashing: In the boinc startup file boinc is started with the following line: ${RUNUSER} - $BOINCUSER -c "$NOCORE ; $BOINCEXE $BOINCOPTS

...

$LOGFILE 2>>$ERRORLOG" 2>/dev/null > /dev/null &

${RUNUSER} expands to su and then su - $BOINCUSER discards the cd $BOINCDIR. $BOINCEXE crashes when not started in the right directory. This is a bug for boinc. This crash can be avoided on openSUSE by changing the startup line into ${RUNUSER} - $BOINCUSER -c "$NOCORE ; cd $BOINCDIR ; $BOINCEXE $BOINCOPTS >>$LOGFILE 2>>$ERRORLOG" 2>/dev/null > /dev/null & -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
