For some time BOINC could not return results. Finaly I deleted BOINC configuration. When I try to add account all I get is "Please try leater".
This system worked well for a long time and I did not change anything (DEBIAN 8.3). I tried also on VBox with clean system with the same resault. If no one knows WHAT was f*** on side of BOINC/WCG then it is great way to lose people from grid. |

Good luck then in finding the right Stargate vectors.

SakeRob, it's always better to admit "I do not know" than to write something useless like pointing to Debian.
Solution was not in any Debian FAQ (yes I know about openssl), but here https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread_thread,38800 With thanks to TimSmall PS. Stargate (vectors) and paraler uniwers are different concepts, better get them right next time. |

@Sylvester,
----------------------------------------if you read carefully the post you referred to, you will notice that SekeRob contributed as well. He is right, there is (was) an issue with Debian. Cheers, Yves |

Thanks folks for the update.
----------------------------------------I use Debian 8.3 and lost more than 20 days of work due to this issue. The solution https://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/forum_thread.php?id=11768 has worked for me: $ wget http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/201...ificates_20141019_all.deb $ sudo dpkg --purge --force-depends ca-certificates $ sudo dpkg -i ca-certificates_20141019_all.deb [Edit 1 times, last edit by sepmsk at Mar 24, 2016 8:24:22 PM] |

$ wget http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/201...ificates_20141019_all.deb $ sudo dpkg --purge --force-depends ca-certificates $ sudo dpkg -i ca-certificates_20141019_all.deb Exact, worked on my Debian 8.3 But when you launch update + upgrade command, "ca-certificates" wants to be updated... and for sure it will broke the Boinc communication... Yes, waiting for an update to fix this ! Thx for the tips Sepmsk. |

See knreed post for Debian certificate bundle that works
----------------------------------------https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewpostinthread?post=513965 You can download this file: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BOINC/boinc/master/curl/ca-bundle.crt and put it into the data directory for your client. After restarting the client you should be able to connect. Think as long as you disallow for BOINC to be updated on Debian Jessie [until the bug fix is root-fixed], you will be fine.

To me this is quite a problem because i'm not willing to reload old certificates on my system. Not everybody has the time to check the security impact of such changes and i'm pretty sure many people just see that the connection to WCG is broken and quit. Until this is fixed WCG looses my debian machine.
Hopefully you are not waiting until the current certificate runs out. |
