I am trying to run BOINC on my Orange Pi 5 Plus running Ubuntu. I got BOINC installed, the compatible projects added and its crunching data but whenever I try to go to Options-Computing Preferences I just get a completely blank white screen that I can't change any options on. Whenever I try to switch from Simple View to Advanced View or check my Notices BOINC freezes completely and I continuously receive the error message of "boincmgr has failed to respond. you can either wait for the program to respond or force close the program" and no matter how many times I click "Wait" or actually physically just wait BOINC never unfreezes, so I'm basically stuck using the VERY light computing preferences because I can't access preferences in BOINC Manager and I can't switch to Advanced View to manage my tasks.

If anybody could help I would greatly appreciate it.

This is a fresh BOINC install from the Costa PPA on a fresh Ubuntu install, so their SHOULDN'T be any dependency/library issues but what do I know, I'm just a linux noob.

You guys aren't going to believe this but I did a fresh Ubuntu install and a fresh BOINC install (like I've done several times before already) and for some reason boinc is fully working for me now. It starts, it connects, it allows me to go into Advance View and change my Preferences. I have no idea what sort of black magic juju occurred that made it start working but I'm not going to look this gift horse in the mouth.
