I'm not certain but that sounds like a folding appliance only. Best to wait for someone else with input. You might consider a new linux install on a different drive and keep that one set aside for future use.

You are correct on the appliance. He needed the password and that was only used for the appliance not the Musky install like I got. I also will switch to crunching.

Was this what you're thinking of?

I have the HardOCP Desktop version of Ubuntu running (12.04 LTS) and ran into a problem getting Boinc installed.  Here's what I was experiencing and what I had to do to get Boinc to even install from either the "Ubuntu Software Center" or the "Package Manager".
 
I was trying to install BOINC on the 4P system where I have the custom HardOCP Ubuntu 12.04 LTS version installed (for Folding).  I continuously got “internet connection errors”, “location not found” and “404” errors when trying to download/install either BOINC or even to do Ubuntu Updates.  I began to wonder if the Ubuntu Servers that were being contacted were up or no longer valid since this is a older version of Ubuntu (12.04).  I also was wondering if the people at HardOCP made some sort of changes that prevented updating the OS so that it would not interfere with their customized version of Ubuntu.
 
So, I began looking around within the Network settings and the Update Manager settings.  The Network settings all appeared to be OK, so nothing stood out there.  But, within the Update Manager settings, I found the area where you can assign what Ubuntu Server is used for updating.  It was set to “US-Server” and I changed that setting to “Main”.  I selected the “Close” button on that screen (do not click the “Revert” button), and re-tried the Ubuntu Update installation routine.  This time it went through successfully.  Then I went into the Ubuntu Software Center, selected the Boinc client/manager and was able to download/install the app.
 
All I could figure is either that US Server was offline or no longer functional and the “Main” selection allowed me to connect to Ubuntu Servers that were available.  After changing that Server location (above) and allowing all the Ubuntu OS updates to be installed, I re-tried installing BOINC.  It went through and installed without any problems.
 
Here's a graphic of the steps to get to the settings that I mentioned above:
 

tex do not have fear to console you can read how to update your linux debian/mint/ubuntu linux distro with this howto https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Howto or if you have problems send me a PM i'll be glad to help any member of this community :D

for reference tex the sources.list is located at /etc/apt/sources.list you can edit it with sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list and edit the mirror location to change to aim to another mirror you can see the closest one to you normally you can use this for refrence http://mirrors.us.kernel.org/ubuntu i use http or ftp protocol (search on inet how to do it :) ) grephical is a frontend to this operation but i prefer doing things by myself.
 

Tex that worked thanks

This is what I ran:
 

Exit boinc-manager in Adv View and click Stop
 
Run the below commands
 
sudo service boinc-client stop
 
cd
wget http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/boinc_7.2.33_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.sh
 
sudo chmod a+x  boinc_7.2.33_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.sh
 
sudo sh  boinc_7.2.33_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.sh
 
cd BOINC
 
sudo cp boinc* /usr/bin/
 
sudo service boinc-client start
 
See http://forums.evga.com/FindPost/2125796 for BOINC version 7.2.42

It's easier to just do a search from the software center for BOINC... it'll direct you to the client and then click on install.  Takes a bit but gets the job done.

Yes this is how I installed Version 7.0.27, 7.2.33 is not listed through the Software Center.

Hah...success thanks to Bc and those steps that he shared!!!  That process that you shared worked like a charm and I'm now Cruncing on BOINC version 7.2.33.  Wahooo
 
That was "Blue-ribbonish" Dc and if I had one I would give it to ya.  I will be saving those steps you shared for future use! 
 
Thank-you Bc!!! 

I still credit you Bc for finding it, sharing it and for also boiling it down to a much simpler view as you did above.  Besides, I can't recommend Xtremesystems for recognition here, but you I can.  If you only knew how much time I wasted on this just the other day.  This was perfect and solved my desire to upgrade for two of my Linux Crunching rigs.  I tried to locate a button or something to click that shows you post as helpful, but those things seem to be gone now.
 
 

BOINC version 7.2.33 seems to not complete it will upload but it is not reporting.
I have run an Update on the Project for it to Report.
I did not have to do this with 7.0.27 so you may want to keep an I on this.

OK, they are set to one day I will set them to 0 on all my rigs and see if it helps.
I did do this on my Windows rig but it did not help.
