where is the config file in Ubuntu?

[krackedpress]

I have had a major crash, so I am starting over.

I have a copy of the cc_config.xml file with the reporting status
set properly for "do it when the task is finished", but I cannot find
the proper place to put it in Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit.

The place under /etc/boinc-client/ does not seem the right placement.
I had to move it there via the terminal, but it did not seem to take it.

Any help?

Sounds like you didn't have admin rights.
Open a terminal window and enter the following (without quotes) "gksu nautilus" this will start Nautilus with administrator rights. Now navigate to "/etc/boinc-client" (again without quotes) and place your cc_config.xml there.

Edit: Forgot to mention that you need to restart BOINC after placing the file in that folder. You can start and stop BOINC in terminal with the following commands.

To stop BOINC type: sudo /etc/init.d/boinc-client stop
To start BOINC type: sudo /etc/init.d/boinc-client start

Is your symbolic link still in /var/lib/boinc-client?

I would just remove the symlink, if it's still there, and copy your cc_config file to /var/lib/boinc-client/ While you're at it change it's ownership.


sudo chown boinc:boinc cc_config.xml

Make sure you are part of the 'boinc' group. It tends to make things a bit less complicated.
