boinc client in Linux died?

[VirtualLarry]

How to restart? Using Mint 17.1.

Was only crunching WCG.

Tried re-starting BOINC manager, but it couldn't connect to the service on localhost, and showed no projects attached.

This should work:

sudo /etc/init.d/boinc-client restart

Thanks, I'll save that for the future.

I tried boinc --daemon , but that didn't do anything (CPU usage stayed low), so I just rebooted.

I never thought Linux would be less stable than Windows.

I can't recall ever seeing that happen. Is that system overclocked?

Yes, but very mildly. It's a G3258 rig, was at 3.8Ghz, in Win7, but it started crashing a few times doing DC on both the CPU and the 7950.

So I clocked it back down to 3.6Ghz. Thought that would be enough

I did do some updates, but didn't reboot. Could that have done it?

I was only doing DC on one core in Linux and not on the 7950.
