Ubuntu 22.04 upgrade broke boinc?

(moderation:
On a Linux host I just upgraded from Ubuntu 20.04 to 22.04.1 (Jammy) then used apt-get to install boinc-client and boinc-manager 7.18.1 with no problems. But when I restart the host, the client nor manager load, and from the command line, boincmgr (or boinccmd) throws the signal error "Illegal instruction (core dumped)".
Does anyone have any insight for how to fix this?

I would first check the dependencies on boincmgr. Ubuntu 22.04.1 deprecated the OpenSSL1.1 and crypto1.1 branches in favor of OpenSSL3.0 I had to grab the old libopenssl1.1.1f package to satisfy my Boinc Manager.
But I would think you shouldn't have a problem from a new 22.04.1 installation if the package manager's did their job correctly.
You can always check for yourself with ldd.
cd /var/lib/boinc or /var/lib/boinc-client (I am not sure exactly where the distro install BOINC these days)
sudo ldd ./boincmgr
and check for any >> 'not found' messages.

You might need to install BOINC from the other available PPA (gianfranco something). I’ve heard that the official repo might have the Android build loaded and that won’t run on x86. Not sure the exact nature of the issue with the repo version since I don’t run it. But maybe someone else can clarify the more specific details.

I had the exact same problem when trying Linux Mint 21! I used the built-in software loader on 2 different pc's and neither one worked so I went back to LM ver 20 and it works just fine. The Linux Mint Forums had at least one person having the same problem.

Distro Boinc binaries are installed in /usr/bin. I’ve had problems with Gianfrancos recent packages - 7.18 wouldn’t work with Ub 20.04 and 7.20 wouldn’t work with Ub 22.04. In both cases reverting to his 7.16 package was successful.

Also had problem with BOINC and openssl1.1 when upgrading Mint 20.3 to Mint 21.
After some tryouts getting openssl1.1 installed, I solved it by installing the lib from this tread:

Yes! Thank you. That worked once I manually re-started and enabled the boinc-client daemon and launched boincmgr from the Terminal.
The problem now is that all my FGRBPG1 tasks have a computation error with my RX 5600XT. I'm guessing it's something to do with the AMD drivers. I "successfully" installed OpenCL with amdgpu version 22.20.50200-1438747~22.04 using the command: amdgpu-install --usecase=opencl --no-dkms
But it didn't work for crunching. I guess that's because I have had no luck installing the amd rocm drivers (amdgpu-install --usecase=rocm) because of missing dependencies issues. That's what I get for upgrading a working system.

I’m not familiar with the “usecase” argument. I always thought the correct install argument was --opencl=rocr (Or opencl=legacy for pre-Vega cards)

I tried that early on, but since have implemented some patches for broken dependencies, so I uninstalled and installed using --opencl=rocr (with and without dkms). Same result. The installation runs fine, but still results in immediate computation errors in Boinc Manager. :(

You can install for mixed case also --opencl=rocr,legacy
