I was running Ubuntu on one of my PC's until recently. Apparently the newest update to Ubuntu has issues with the video card, and the alpha for 8 is worse. It's running FC8 now.

Anyway, the clients in the official repository tended to be out of date. The downloads from the main BOINC site (http://boinc.berkeley.edu/index.php) caused errors when closing. (Both 32-bit on Ubuntu and 64-bit on FC8, different errors, but the client still worked.) I switched to the pre-release versions, and the errors slowly went away until version 5.10.45, where they vanished entirely (both platforms). I ended up switching to this build on all my clients, and the following week that version went gold.

So, you may want to get the client / manager from the BOINC site. In my experience, 5.10.45 is more stable than the 5.8.x builds (what I last found in the canonical repository), and has more robust features. (Plus, I think some projects require a 5.10 build on 64-bit clients.)
