If this has been addressed in another thread I'm sorry. I couldn't find anything.
Bought a factory computer today. It's a mid level gamer. I figured it would be a good platform to learn Ubuntu and save some time until the parts for my build arrive.
Unboxing and prepping, no problem. I used my Mac to make a bootable sd card and got Ubuntu installed just fine.
And here starts the craziness.
Installed BOINC thru Ubuntu. Tried to run it and got a permission error Whut? Yeah, not what, but whut?
How can I not have permission if I'm the only user on the dang thing? I tried changing permissions but it says I don't have permission to change permissions.
Has anyone else run into this?

it is likely a permission issue and is easily fixed.
First thing, I would make sure that you have ultimate permission with Nautilus installed. Run the following in your terminal:
sudo apt install nautilus-adminThis will make sure that you can access anything in your files folders. Anytime you run into 'permission denied', back up one level and right click the folder or file that you were trying to access and then right click and "Run as Administrator".
Make sure your BOINC session is closed, and then open up your 'Files' icon.
Then 'right click' the BOINC folder wherever you have it and open 'properties' from the drop down menu and click on the following in sequence:
Click on 'permissions'
Click on 'Access Files' under 'Group' and then change it.
Then click on "Change Permissions for Enclosed Files..."
Make sure you have permission to "Create and Delete Files" in both Owner and Group sections
Select 'Change' to finalize this procedure, and then close it all out.
After this should give access to run BOINC.

Ok, it's up and running

Ok, it's up and running FGRPSSE tasks.
I checked my computer list and for some reason it's not showing my GPU. Should be a 4060.
Any more good advice,lol?

When you open boinc, take a look at your log. It will show your gpu, if installed. Did you install nvidia drivers yet on the new system?

Derp, didn't even think about that, lmao.
The monitor is plugged into the video card instead of the on board video so it must be using some minimal generic driver or I be able to see anything. I'll check in out and let ya'll know

When you want to use Nautilus to access a file or folder that your access was denied, just highlight that file or folder and then right click on it and run it as an Administer.

Your host shows your 4060
)
Your host shows your 4060 just fine for Boinc. Running the distro provided 7.24.1 version. Shows you running the current 550 Nvidia drivers for the distro.
Look at your Event Log in the Manager after you start the computer and copy and paste the first 30 lines of the log. Should show your 4060 detected twice, once with CUDA and again with OpenCL.
Add the sched_op_debug flag in Event Log logging option and save. Then re-read the config files in the Manager and then post what a scheduler connection shows. Should ask for cpu seconds of work and then gpu seconds of work as long as the scheduler connection is with a project that offers both cpu and gpu applications and you have using Nvidia gpus selected in your Project Preferences at each project.

Nautilus is just the app_name for the distro Files application. Icon looks like a folder.
Something is not right with

Something is not right with your detection of your gpu or your drives. The stderr.txt output from your BRP7 tasks shows 0 CUDA cores and 0GB of VRAM memory.
Post what nvidia-smi shows in the Terminal.
Have you rebooted the host since installing Boinc?
Post what the coproc_info.xml shows. The file should be in /var/lib/boinc-client directory.
