I'm running Linux Mint 17 (Qiana), x86 version.
BOINC Manager v. 7.2.42
Sometimes, when I shut BOINC manager down as a quick method to take over full computing power of my laptop, it fails to reconnect once I turn it back on. No projects appear, the icon signalizes no connection to the servers, no processing is carried out. Any way to fix it?

Make sure you restart the BOINC client as well. BOINC consists of two parts, the client (boinc-client) which does all the scheduling and connections with servers, and BOINC Manager, the GUI (boinc-manager). While starting BOINC Manager under Windows and Mac OSX will start the client, it does not work that way under Linux. Here you'll have to start both parts separately.
