I have an armv6 client running Debian with the boinc-app-milkyway package installed. It has completed two WUs but both have been marked invalid.

]]

I don't know where to start. Can anyone help?

I've just realised the version supplied by Debian is version 0.18, which is ancient.

Plus the project does not even have a ARM app, only x86 and x64 apps for Linux.

It's open source!

Debian bug open.

Рroblem in version mismatch.
Simply rebuild boinc-app-milkyway (original .deb based on boinc v.6) for boinc v.7:

apt-get install boinc boinc-dev boinc-app-milkyway

mkdir /home/userboinc-milkyway-new
cd /home/userboinc-milkyway-new

wget http://ports.ubuntu.com/pool/universe/b/boinc-app-milkyway/boinc-app-milkyway_0.18d.orig.tar.gz
wget http://ports.ubuntu.com/pool/universe/b/boinc-app-milkyway/boinc-app-milkyway_0.18d-1ubuntu1.diff.gz

gzip -dr ./boinc-app-milkyway_0.18d.orig.tar.gz
tar -xf ./boinc-app-milkyway_0.18d.orig.tar
gzip -dr ./boinc-app-milkyway_0.18d-1ubuntu1.diff.gz

mv ./boinc-app-milkyway_0.18.orig ./boinc-app-milkyway_0.18d.orig

patch < ./boinc-app-milkyway_0.18d-1ubuntu1.diff

cd ./boinc-app-milkyway_0.18d.orig/bin
cp ./make.linux ./Makefile
cp ../../app_info.xlm.tpl ./app_info.xlm.tpl

make

/etc/init.d/boinc-client stop
cp ./milkyway /usr/lib/boinc-app-milkyway./milkyway
cp ./app_info.xlm /usr/share/boinc-app-milkyway./app_info.xlm
/etc/init.d/boinc-client start

My previous post don't solve problem.

It at all can't be solved, because file with search parameters don't exist.
In http://ports.ubuntu.com/pool/universe/b/boinc-app-milkyway/boinc-app-milkyway_0.18d.orig.tar.gz in folder ./bin/test_files has these files. And I think they should downloads with Milkyway task for BOINC.


Maybe developers explained about search parameters files!!!
