Tried installing the BOINC Manager through the ubuntu software center, but when it launched, it immediately said "BOINC Manager is not responding".

I know you can download it from the BOINC website too, but if the software center version doesn't work, it should either be fixed or removed, so people don't waste their time getting something to work that doesn't work.

Can you post the first 30 orso lines of the BOINC startup log, please?

Also, do know that BOINC in Ubuntu repository is updated by the Ubuntu package manager. Any glaring errors in the code should be taken up with them, not us.

That said, this sounds more like a permissions problem, hence me asking your BOINC startup log. Let's see what that says.
