I just set up a new Linux/Ubuntu machine from Dell. [It came with Ubuntu pre-installed.] This was the first program I attempted to install. I struggled, but eventually got to this:

In the BOINC folder installed on my desktop, I have both the BOINC (client) file and the BOINCMGR. I can start the client and it seems to be running all right. But when I start the manager, I get a Connection Error message that tells me to make sure this program is in the same directory as the client. I guess it's not, for some unknown reason. I get the same result if I try to start the manager from the Applications / System Tools drop-down list.

Can someone tell me how to resolve this, please? I really do want to use the manager. But I'm reluctant to stumble through more fix guesses on my own. Thanks so much.
