You never loose scores... it's just a question to make sure the email address remains identical for the CPID roll-up function to continue working.

Worked like a charm. Thank you!

interesting, I have installed xubuntu 9.10 on a couple of machines and I installed boinc from the add/remove app, and so far all of my wu's are being validated have had no problems I did not have to install anything like instructed at the beginning of this thread

johnny,

You may want to do this in your lines...



I added a move of the original link so you are not over writting the other ca-bundle that is on the system.
Also, I believe when you use wget, you get the format raw as part of the filename. which is not desired and should be correct.

Also, no need to do this more than once per setup. But BOINC should already be running in the background, and you can pull up boinc manager through the Applications -> System Tools. I'm assuming that you are starting this script with sudo ./myscript.sh. If so you'll want to remove the boincmgr part, because you don't want it to mess with your permissions later to use boinc manger as a normal user. instead of super user root. Always good practice to not open applications as root if you can prevent it.

Sorry to be nitpicking...but wget should come with the system as well. No need to install from apt-get.

Putting it in one easy script for members to sudo is good, especially if they have multiple machines to monitor with the new 9.10 OS.

Let me know what you think,
