Created attachment 372797 [details] output of boinc when trying to attach a project I'm using a fresh install of Fedora 12 (Constantine) and just wanted to reconfigure my boinc-client for worldcommunitygrid.org. Unfortunately, when trying to attach the project, boinc quits with a SIGABRT every time (so, the issue is fully reproducable) and shows the attached output.
I'll look at this during the next week, currently I have no F12 available because of travelling.
Update to latest upstream?
Current installed versions are: boinc-client-6.6.37-4.r18632svn.fc12.x86_64 boinc-manager-6.6.37-4.r18632svn.fc12.x86_64 This seems to be the same version as when the crash occurred, according to the backtrace. I've tried again today to attach the project according to the instructions at [1]. Special difference to my first tries is: There are different ways described at [2], the first crashing tries were according to the old way (not sure if I did everything correctly anyway) and finally attaching the project via command line. This was, when boinc-client crashed as described above. With my tries to reproduce this concerning the instruction at [1] and current way to set up boinc (in fact, just do the /usr/sbin/usermod -G boinc -a username) and then just starting the BOINC Manager from XFCE Menu everything worked without any problem. I'll give this another try from command line the next days to try reproducing the crash. Riku is right anyway since the BOINC Manager tells me "A new version of BOINC (6.10.17) is available for your computer."

http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/VersionHistory Looks like there have been several versions released after 6.6.37.
Sorry for the delay, there seem to be several issues after upgrading to F12, I'll release an update in a few days.
I just made some fresh installs of BOINC on F12, attaching to World Community Grid works without problems. Can you still reproduce this problem? Looking into your log: where did you modify your boinc data directory? Are you sure it is writable for boinc?
I unfortunately can not reproduce the crash mentioned above which caused this bug report. I'm facing problems running boinc anyway. I deleted any configuration and started fresh again, installing boinc-client, then using boincmgr to attach the worldcommuntiygrid project. The messages tab in boincmgr shows the attached output then.

Ah...I guess I know where the problem is: do you have the package "ca-certificates" installed? If no, does installing this package solve the problem? The certificates were formerly packaged as part of curl (requires by boinc) but after they have been split up into the ca-certificates package, there might be an additional requires missing.
Mhm...ignore my previous post, I just managed to reproduce your problem with ca-certificates installed. I'll get back when I find out what's going wrong.

This is indeed a NSS problem (bug 547860), a temporary workaround: As root, run: 1) setup-nsssysinit.sh off 2) service boinc-client restart

This indeed solved it. Thanks very much for your support!
