(moderation:
I recently upgraded to Ubunty 18.04 and decided to rejoin the project. After several days I noticed that all tasks finish with exit status '6 Unknown error code'. Here is a part of the log:
[20:34:21][2111][INFO ] Data processing finished successfully!
*** stack smashing detected ***: <unknown> terminated
[20:34:21][2111][ERROR] Application caught signal 6.

I can provide full logs if necessary. What is the cause of these errors?

Hi Nill, just a question: In your web account, preferences, project, did you set 'Run Linux app versions built with LIBC 2.15' to yes?

I checked the preferences and this option was set to 'no', so I changed it. It will take a while for current WUs to finish and see if this has an effect. Thanks for the hint!

Most likely it's your 3rd party application. Purge that, and optionally file a bug report.

Changing the setting solling2 mentioned about has not helped. Looks like it is time to file a bug report.

That was to be expected. That setting means that the project server should send applications using LIBC 2.15 instead of older ones, if available. It doesn't apply here since you decided to provide your own application. Are you aware that you don't need to do this and usually shouldn't?

Did this get solved? I have the same issue. The LIBC2.15-option did not help me either. What 3rd party application are you talking about? As far as I know I did a completely normal installation.

You're also using a 3rd party application to process work form Einstein@home. Go to your account and check the tasks for your host, you'll see "Binary Radio Pulsar Search (Arecibo) Anonymous platform" in the Applications column.
To remove it and revert to using the project supplied applications start by locating the Boinc data directory, the locations is listed in the startup messages in Boinc's Event log. Once found you should find sub directories Project -> Einstein.phys.uwm.edu, in this directory delete app_info.xml. (If you want to clean up then open app_info.xml in a text editor before deleting it and take note of the file names it reference, you can also delete these files)
Remember to shut down Boinc before deleting files, once done restart Boinc and reset Einstein@home. Maybe do another shutdown and restart of Boinc after resetting and then look for errors or complaints in the Event log.
After this Boinc should start processing work from Einstein@home with the project supplied apps.

The project directory could also be projects/einsteinathome.org depending on how it was added. A project reset from the Mgr will clear the app_info file too I believe.
