On my ubuntu server. Now, it runs fine on the desktops, so it's not the OS. I have googled around, but most stuff i find is outdated. Is there an app_info.xml file I need to make or is that outdated too?

Weird, because mine (from Berkeley) also says Starting BOINC client version 6.10.56 for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu and I have no problem getting work.
Can you try downloading the .sh from Berkeley and unpacking to your home directory?
Also, post your startup message (first 20 or so lines)

Yes, I tried both the downloaded version and the repository version. Same error.
In any case, yesterday at around 2pm (UTC) the Linux version was recognized, the app downloaded and processing started. So I guess someone updated something somewhere ...
So, problem solved. Thanks for your help anyway :)
