Hi,

twice now pressing the "show graphics" button in the boincmgr resulted in a client error, stderr contains
"X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown)." boinc is running for some days now, with X sessions opened in the morning and closed in the evening. Twice I looked at the graphics which and the next day I saw that the work unit boinc had been working on had a client error. Is this a known bug?

I suggest both of you check out the Einstein@Home Beta Test. The link is under More Information on the E@H home page. I switched to the Windows Beta App about a month ago and it cured my Client Error problems. Apparently the latest "regular" versions of the E@H applications are not completely "up to speed" with the latest BOINC clients. The Beta versions are supposed to address a lot of these known problems. Anyway, it worked for me.
